BrainApps review
Personalized daily brain workouts across web and mobile, with free and paid access.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
BrainApps pairs short interactive games with courses, cognitive tests and personalized recommendations for people who want regular practice with memory, attention, reasoning and flexible thinking. It is available on the web, iOS and Android, and its daily workouts are designed for short sessions. The service is aimed at adults and other users seeking a structured brain-training routine, rather than a general-purpose learning or assessment platform.
Its feature set combines practice and feedback: recommendations draw on skills, goals and interests, while statistics, charts and further recommendations track progress. Online cognitive, educational and IQ-style tests offer another way to engage with the service, and skill courses include theory and practical exercises. The focus is on individual training across several cognitive areas, with memory and attention among the stated areas. Buyers looking for a broad catalogue of varied exercise formats should weigh that focus against the limited evidence of exercise breadth.
A free training option provides an entry point. According to the vendor's pricing page, Premium for 30 days costs $8.99 per month and adds premium games, statistics and workouts, plus training without basic limits. Premium for 1 year costs $52 and includes premium games, statistics and workouts; Lifetime costs $116 one time and includes all current and upcoming courses, unlimited statistics and lifetime Premium access. The payment policy says monthly subscriptions are not refundable, while eligible online yearly and lifetime plans have a 30-day guarantee. BrainApps suits individuals who value personalized daily practice and progress tracking across devices. Those who need extensive verified exercise variety or a refundable monthly subscription should consider alternatives.
