It’s fantastic at the start I’m looking forward to hopefully more things been added.
Actually works
Amazing
Another app that wants you to answer 25 insulting questions before you can use it
Most of this type of design is bogus psychological marketing techniques, the app developers think if they can get you to answer 25 questions, you’ll have invested time in it and feel more will by to pay for the inevitable attempt to get you to subscribe once you finish.

Hi there, we're sorry you felt this way by the initial questions and appreciate you sharing your feedback. Those questions are intended to personalize your memory-training journey, not to push you into a purchase. Our team monitors the anonymous responses and takes them into account when building the app; it helps us learn more about memoryOS users. Kindly note that we also provide a robust freemium version, which helps give the app a much better try. The freemium version provides access to many lessons, videos, fun one-tap tasks, Virtual Mind Palaces, and more. Also, if you visit the 🛒 'Shop' section of the app, you'll find several great Premium Plan options. Each plan comes with a 7-day free trial if you haven't had one before and starts as low as $3.49 per month/when billed yearly (plus 10-20% applicable local taxes). Once again, we ask a few questions during your onboarding experience to keep building a better memory tool for all users and value your input greatly. If an offer does appear, you can always close it by tapping on the 'X' at the top of the page. Please reach out to us by emailing us at support@memoryos.com if you have extra questions. It would make our day if you could change your review to reflect the actual value provided by this app. Also, it helps with the app's discoverability. Have a great New Year ahead, and thank you again for sharing your thoughts with us, as we always aim to be ever-improving.
LOVE! WOW!
I wish that I could spread the word
In addition, I have paid for access to all levels, but am barred from moving past the initial challenges. Every time that I try, I’m asked to upgrade. I have contacted customer service with no reply. This has been most disappointing and frustrating. I really have been enjoying this app, but these issues have prevented me from spreading the word to my friends and family who I know would find value using the app.
Deceptive Pricing, Exploitive Practices, and Zero Care for Humanity
Memory is, without question, one of the most precious things we have. For anyone who has witnessed the devastating impact of dementia or Alzheimer’s on loved ones, this truth is deeply personal. An app claiming to support memory improvement should prioritize accessibility and affordability to make a real difference in people’s lives. Instead, the creators of MemoryOS chose the path of greed. They could have easily followed in the footsteps of competitors like Impulse, which offers a highly affordable $70 lifetime membership plan (a mere $15 difference from MemoryOS’s *yearly* plan). But no—helping humanity clearly takes a backseat to maximizing profits.
And it gets worse. They didn’t stop at exorbitant pricing—they doubled down on deception. For *years,* while homelessness and poverty rise, this app has proudly slapped a fake “50% off” sale on its already bloated price to trick more people into thinking $150 is a bargain. It’s an insult to users and a shameless display of modern marketing manipulation. All the while, comparable apps—often just as good or better—remain far more reasonably priced. For instance, Peak, another memory-training app, offers a *genuine* yearly plan at $34.99, a fraction of MemoryOS’s cost.
This app is not just expensive—it’s a blatant cash grab disguised as a “tool for self-improvement.” I wouldn’t doubt they got a good program as I couldn’t test it but the fact that instead of making a meaningful impact, they pour their resources into deceptive advertising campaigns, hooking unsuspecting users into subscription plans designed to drain their wallets month after month or year after year. If they truly cared about humanity, they’d prioritize affordability and transparency, but clearly, profit margins seems to be the only priority here so I’d love to hear their explanation to the super high price tag in these quite rough times.
Until something changes drastically, I will boycott this app without hesitation. Better options exist—more affordable, ethical alternatives that don’t exploit their users. With advancements in AI and the growing availability of tools for self-improvement, I’m optimistic that other developers will step up and deliver superior solutions that don’t come with the same level of corporate greed. I’d much rather support those efforts than line the pockets of a company that sees people’s memory struggles as nothing more than an opportunity for profit.

Hi there, we're sorry to hear your concerns and appreciate the time you took to share them. Our team is on a genuine mission to help more people enhance their memory. We wanted to share that we offer a robust freemium version with lessons, videos, and Virtual Mind Palaces so users can explore the app before deciding on any plan. This gives everyone plenty of learning experiences to test the app out. Our pricing for premium plans supports continuous development, maintenance of 3D environments, and 24/7 efforts to make memoryOS more affordable while still upholding its quality. We regularly evaluate our pricing structure to ensure it is both sustainable and fair. The freemium version provides access to many lessons, videos, fun one-tap tasks, Virtual Mind Palaces, and more. If you visit the 🛒 'Shop' section of the app, you'll find several great premium plan options. Each plan comes with a 7-day free trial if you haven't had one before and starts as low as $3.49 per month when billed annually (plus 10-20% applicable local taxes). You can also find more information about other premium plans within the same shop section. Unlike many apps that focus on generic puzzles or quick brain exercises, memoryOS teaches the actual skill of memorization through proven techniques, like the Mind Palace Method and spaced repetition, co-created by the 2X World Memory Champion and our co-founder, Jonas. These methods help you reliably transfer information from short-term to long-term memory, a skill you can use well beyond the app. While other apps may have lower prices, they often lack the same depth of memory-learning skills and actual memory enhancement beyond the app. Any sale pricing is based on our standard rates and reflects limited-time promotions. We do not inflate our prices solely to advertise a steep discount, we respond to frequent user requests to meet their demands much better. The only reason we ask for your email is because this allows users to create a secure account and get personalized support. We do not sell or misuse personal information, users can also opt out of marketing emails at any time. All Apple users can create a Hidden Apple email so your actual email is not seen. We fully recognize the life-changing importance of memory, especially for those who've seen loved ones struggle with remembering. By combining expert methods with a user-friendly, interactive interfaces, we aim to make genuine memory enhancement accessible. We also continually refine our approach based on user feedback. We aim to provide genuine value through scientifically backed memory-enhancement methods, rather than just quick puzzle-style games, and to ensure users can explore memoryOS risk-free. We appreciate your feedback, as it helps us keep improving the balance between affordability, quality, and innovation. If you'd like to discuss anything further, we're here to listen and help. Please contact us at support@memoryos.com so we can learn more about your expectations and experience.

A great start
I need to learn how to use the palace and transfer feature a bit more as I’ve not delved into those but so far worth every penny.
My only grudge would be the loki coins (in app currency), as I’m paying a subscription but then would be expected to buy more coins if I wanted to expand my mind palaces any further, seems a little unfair. I’m still a little unsure how the loki currency works as I’ve not had to spend any yet but that would be my only sticking point.
Otherwise a great app!
