Has anyone tried Lumosity?

Does it work? I'm finding myself to be really forgetful and stuff. I heard Lumosity can do things such as improve memory and expand vocabulary. Is it legit?

i'm about to try it out now. you tell them the stuff you want to work on, and they make a program for those, and you make an account

I tried it, the free trial is pretty limited and you won't get the full effect unless you pay for premium. There are other ways to brain train but I'm wondering if this lives up to it's hype.

I called it a trial because you don't have everything. I don't know if you actually have a limit though.

it said nothing about a limit. there were some extras you could get if you had the paid thing but nothing you need to worry about. you have what you need without paying, as far as i know.

I tried it for the same reasons. I'm often very forgetful and I find it hard to focus sometimes, but funnily enough some of my highest scores were in Memory and Attention.

Without full access, though, you may improve, but you'll never really know whether your BPI is satisfactory. I played around with it for 20 minutes and got a BPI of 809, but I'm not certain if that's good or not because I can't compare my scores.

And I think having various options of games is important because most people will find some games easier than others, even if they're in the same area of brain training.

I've tried it. It costs a lot more than I'm will to pay though, and you get very little for free, so I've barely used it since my free trial ran out.

i got on today and it said i only had 2 days free left :\
so i've gone today, yesterday, and will hopefully remember to go on tomorrow.
i did improve on speed on a thing though, mostly cuz i was more used to it and knew what to do
