Lumos Labs, Inc.

Lumos Lab Inc. is the amazing company behind Lumosity, and their annual subscription is worth more than my gym membership. Training my brain with neuroscience-​backed games is something I look forward to everyday.
I’ve been a member of their neuroscience training platform for many weeks already (my second cognition test is in a day!) I appreciate the beautiful GUI, scientific articles from their great blog (
), and psychometric feedback.
The Lumosity Perfomance Index (LPI) is a measure of your cognitive ability. It is a number calculated across memory, flexibility, speed, attention, and problem solving domains. The analytics behind the LPI are beautiful (see screenshot) — it’s easy to see how you compare with your age range.
A+++ Revolutionary and entertaining online cognitive games, love the science and culture behind it – Lumosity rocks!
PROS
+ Keep track of your mood and sleep in the app too!
+ Games are fun and colorful — you can tell Lumosity’s designers put a lot of thought into them.
+ It is available on iPad and iPhone, also.
+ The training program is fine-​tuned to your preferences.
+ I actually have favorite games, including: Word Bubbles Rising, Eagle Eye, and Raindrops. They look incredible on iPhone, iPad, and the web.
+ The Help Center is useful (
) and will probably assist you with anything you probably need.
+ It has a lot of value: they are always adding new games to try (I haven’t tried them all even after a few months)
+ It is backed by science that you can read about (the aforementioned blog).
+ You definitely get the feeling of progression and improvement, like you are getting stronger. And everything is trackable online!
CONS
— It does cost something. The family plan is $ 61.08 annually with five accounts. If you join with friends you can actually save quite a bit of money. My yearly plan is $ 49.99 just for me!
