Does anybody have any brain training app recommendations please. I’m an iPhone user and looking for something to help. As I’m getting a bit older I don’t seem to pass info from short term to long term memory as well. Also I seem to use ‘thingy’ or ‘whatsisname’ too much when the words don’t come as quickly as my brain moves.
Thanks in anticipation.

Of course they are hundreds of online apps - suduko is a favourite. Plenty of apps for the iphone - word games help as well, plenty of free apps (they even did an article about this on the \"This Morning\" show a while back)"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52661902","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Peesh"},"datePublished":"2024-04-29T14:04:57.000Z","text":"Learning a second language or learning to play a musical instrument can help your memory.
Apps like Duolingo are good for language learning.
Apps like Yousician are good for learning guitar/ukulele/piano.
A good brain training game, similar(ish) to the brain training games on the Nintendo ds from.a few years ago is Mind Games Pro."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52662082","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"mutley1"},"datePublished":"2024-04-29T14:37:03.000Z","text":"I have developed a memory problem, well actually, it just got worse as I have always had a memory problem! I went to see a neurologist and they sent me for a memory test. The neurologist says that the results indicate that I lack attention and that there wasn't anything wrong with my memory but that I needed to keep my brain active by doing more brain intensive stuff, like suduko.
She says the brain is like most things, use it or lose it.
I have since done suduko and I have found it does help a little bit, but I find sukodo so boring and prefer word puzzles as I believe that anything that makes your brain work will keep it oiled, so I have found an app called \"Words of Wonder\", which I really enjoy. It is like an anagram game.
So number game app or a word game app will help you."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52662202","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Willy_Wonka"},"datePublished":"2024-04-29T14:56:01.000Z","text":"You can get things like escape room games that work on your mobile phone for next to nothing.
One game could involve puzzles involving numbers, letters, pictures, colours, codes, memory & actions.
It might be a lot more interesting to you that just sticking to one type of puzzle like crosswords or sudoku etc"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52661480","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"redzarf"},"datePublished":"2024-04-29T12:56:38.000Z","text":"Duolingo could be worth trying"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52663976","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Mendoza"},"datePublished":"2024-04-29T19:37:59.000Z","text":"I do sudoku"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52663305","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"sydney871"},"datePublished":"2024-04-29T17:49:38.000Z","text":"Not knowing how old you are and how you are physically may I suggest being active in some way like walking, dancing, joining a club, playing bridge, joining a gym etc. These all will help with memory issues.

I'm the same, I tend to get faces mixed up. Spoke to an old guy cutting his grass, then spoke to what I thought was his wife round the corner and told him I just saw your husband cutting the grass before seeing her going into a different house. She probably thinks I'm a nutter!"}],"commentCount":15,"interactionStatistic":8,"articleSection":"Ask"}
