## What is IGNITE App?

Ignite is a cognitive assessment tool designed for early detection of frontotemporal dementia. An alternative to standard psychology assessments, Ignite tests your thinking skills and problem solving abilities through its short tasks. Unlike standard psychology tests it puts you in charge - you can perform Ignite at home without the assistance of a psychologist. It has been designed by the FTD talk team at University College London and investigators from the GENetic Frontotemporal dementia Initiative (GENFI) study. Frontotemporal dementia is one of the commonest forms of young onset dementia and Ignite aims to be sensitive to early changes in cognitive performance for those at-risk of developing the illness.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2020-09-04, version 2.0.1*

Really enjoyed playing the games

### 4/5 — Doing my bit to support dementia research

*2020-09-04, version 2.0.1*

This app has a series of tests, very similar to Lumosity but the data is securely and anonymously shared with researchers at University College London. The test took about half an hour and was easy to follow. Happy that I've done my bit to help further research around dementia.

### 5/5 — Great tests

*2020-09-03, version 2.0.1*

I uploaded the app and did all the tests 
Found some easy and done not do. Really showed how you needed to think harder in some areas
Would recommend and hope the results are a helpful tool for the study

### 1/5 — PIN code error

*2019-08-18, version 1.0*

After seeing the app on the BBC Click program I decided to give it a try, but it does not work at all. It just asks for your PIN number which never works.
