Peak review

Peak works well for seniors who want brain training in short bursts. The app has 45+ games across categories such as memory, attention, problem solving, mental agility, language and coordination, and offers daily workouts plus themed ones like Weakest Link and The Total Workout. Coffee Break fits a session into under five minutes, which helps on busy days or when focus runs low. A built-in Coach suggests new workouts and tracks progress, and you can compare scores with others in your age range. Peak says it works with scientists from Cambridge, Yale, UCL and King's College London, and its Advanced Training Programmes target specific skills such as working memory. The basic version is free; Pro opens the full catalog and tailored workouts. We could not confirm a USD Pro price on a vendor page, so pricing is marked pending. The app is phone and tablet based, so it is less suited to someone who only uses a computer. We compared documented features and published prices.
