THE STORY BEHIND LUMOSITY®

We’re a team of scientists and designers exploring new ways to challenge the brain and advance cognitive research. We take common cognitive and neuropsychological tasks, or create entirely new, experimental challenges. Then, working with experienced designers, we transform these tasks into games and puzzles that challenge core cognitive skills.

We also work with 40+ university researchers worldwide. We give qualified researchers free access to Lumosity training and tools, helping them investigate new areas in the cognitive sciences.

We invite you to train with us and join in our mission to advance the understanding of human cognition.

The app is available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Japanese and Korean. To access the app in one of these languages, change your device setting to the desired language.

Ratings and reviews

The coding and art is nice, but the app itself feels fairly useless - the mini games are cute, but don't actually help with much and feel very rail-roaded. There are much better options out there for actual brain-training, depending on what focus you're looking for (memory / language / math / etc.) and Lumosity isn't worth ANYWHERE near the cost it asks for. Other apps may be more expensive in their subscriptions, but are much more worth it in actual functional training aids in my opinion.

Some of the exercises are fun. But some are just stupid. The definitions on word finder are often wrong And sometimes exercises are difficult because the buttons are too small or images are too hard to see. Are you testing my brain or my eyes and the fatness of my thumbs? Should have a way to zoom in. I was doing it at the suggestion of therapists after an injury. It seemed to help at first but there was a ceiling to improvement.

If you like listening to music on your phone while playing games, then Luminosity is not the app for you. The developers are aware of an issue where their app shuts down any active music players but apparently are not interested in solving the problem. I've contacted support on multiple occasions, but this is not an issue that the developers are interested in fixing. Canceled my subscription due to the lack of resolution.
