Good, but…

The app occasionally does not register touch input immediately. During a timed test, I selected the correct answer, but the app did not initially recognize my tap. For timed activities, the touch response needs to be more accurate and consistent, since even a small delay or missed tap can affect the user’s score and overall experience. The answer selection interface should have cleaner input recognition and more reliable feedback when a choice is pressed.

Good

Thanks

Doesn’t work

I can never actually play the games. It just asks me to log in over and over. Terribly glitchy.

Very good exercises 2 stay sharp

I’m enjoying this application and the learning it provides for me are practical, life changing and useful to make my life simpler and more healthy. This is in using their activities to improve what I do, think and practice. Good job AARP!

Games

Very helpful.

Sharper mind

Easy to use, fun to play, quick brain exercises

Only 11 games available

A friend encouraged me to install this app. She has a vast amount of games to choose from yet I only have 11. Why? Fix this or tell me what I’m doing wrong. Is there some “secret” setting I’m not aware of that will make the rest of the games appear? Otherwise I will just uninstall this app.

Useless App

What is wrong with your app??

Created account, sign in and try to initiate an activity. But the initiation sequence then asks to sign-in again. Complete task again and goes into endless loop. I am never, ever able to actually run one of your games/activities!

How do you have 4.7 rating on an app that is useless and won’t actually work!

Doesn’t work!!!

I downloaded the app and signed in. Once in, I couldn’t find the cognitive test mentioned in the AARP email they sent me. I’m computer literate but this app is not user friendly. Then the app went black and I couldn’t get out of it. I deleted it without getting to use it.

Mind Medicine

This is an excellent way of exercising my gray matter !!!

Staying sharp

This app is amazzzing…love all the puzzles.. it is so much fun and addicting.. this my favorite app everrrr!!!! These puzzles are very challenging and have different levels of complexity..so there’s some fun for everyone!!!

Games are inaccessible

Click on any game and get sent into an eternal loop of logging in. Maybe that’s the game? Deleted.

Games don't work

Only want to use it for the games and they are blocked behind a legal disclaimer. Not usable...

Games section is not functional

Downloaded this app to play some possibly interesting games

Instead the Games section is frozen in a legal disclaimer

Not interested in other parts of this app

Love it

I showed this ap to my Neurologist at last visit. He was very impressed and said he was going to recommend it to his patients.

Frustrating Experience

Terrible app. I do all my business online and am not so old that I cannot navigate an app. This one has a bug in 2025 and they don’t make it easy to report. No chat. No email.
It is impossible to play the games. The user is sent in circles with disclosures and you can never get to the games.

Games

Games will not play. That is the main reason I downloaded it.

It disappeared

I loved this app and spent half an hour to a hour playing the games every week. During the December holiday season, because of several family crises, I didn’t play the games.

Shortly into the new year I eagerly returned. Everything changed. I was led in circles to privacy policies and TOS. Nowhere could I check anything.

I was instructed to download AARP Now app. I did. I signed in and the app recognized me by name. It also has my account and card connection.

I still can’t access the games.

AARP apparently wants me to allow texts from them and sign up for rewards and newsletters. Why?

My emails are useless with so many ads. I try to keep my texts for family, friends; medical communications and specific transactions. I don’t want to clutter this communication app.

I am too old for this nonsense. Is AARP really here to help customers with what they ask for or is it just another group out to sell me things and then sell my info?

What a shame. A few weeks ago I would have given this app 5 stars and a high praise review. Now I feel lured in and sold out.

AARP I am rating this one star. Prove me wrong - let me enjoy keeping my mind alert and responsive with these games without all these additions and I will change this review, admit my error and praise your response.

For some reason I have to keep logging in

Love the information and ways to keep my mind working with great content and ways to keep your mind working, memorization and self awareness of just keeping my brain working

Can’t access games

Figure I would take all the memory tests. Only problem is that it wants me to log in. So I do and then it shoots me back to the quizzes. Ok, click on the quiz and asks me to log in. Tried this FIVE times so now I have deleted your REEE-DICULOUS APP . I can find easy apps to use. Bye
