If you want to improve your memory better, you might want to try these five amazing apps.

Luminosity 
Designed by a group of neuroscientists, Luminosity might be the fun memory game that you are looking for. This app specifically tailors its games for your cognitive needs and records your improvement using its stat-tracking feature. It has several fun games for its memory module, from recalling patterns to face-name recognition.

However, this app is not just for people who want to improve their memory. This app has games that can improve concentration, language, and others. 

Luminosity is available for free in your mobile app store and desktop. If you wish to obtain the app’s full set of features, you will need to pay a monthly subscription fee.

Fits Brain Trainer  
If you are looking for a challenge, then Fits Brain Trainer might help. As its name implies, this app is equipped with 35 and more games designed to make your brain fit. This app has three difficulty levels for you to try, which makes it good to use for beginners. It is designed to improve memory recall, concentration, problem-solving, and even emotional intelligence.

Fits Brain Trainer is available on your mobile app store and desktop. Similar to Luminosity, you will need to pay a monthly subscription fee to unlock all its features.

Elevate
Elevate is also a memory-improving app that you might want to try. While it only has 30 games, this app is designed to improve memory, concentration, comprehension, and other cognitive skills. It is praised for its simple and fresh-looking appearance and easy-to-play games.

Similar to Luminosity, Elevate allows you to log-in in order to view your automatically-recorded stats. Elevate also allows you to choose any difficulty levels, so you can keep challenging yourself with the app.

Elevate is free on your mobile app store. If you wish to unlock its complete set of features, you will need to pay a small monthly subscription fee.

Cognito
Do you what can make games more engaging than they already are? It’s a story! And that’s what Cognito is all about.

Cognito has the same type of operation as the other above-mentioned apps. But, instead of providing pattern recall and face-name recognition games, this app links all these games into an interesting story. It has a stat-tracking feature to monitor your progress and has games for concentration, logic, and other cognitive skills.

Other than that, Cognito can borrow data from other apps to improve your experience. It is available for free on your mobile app store. But, you will need to pay a monthly subscription fee to unlock its full features.

Music Game
Looking for a simpler game? Well, try Music Game for iPhone!

Unlike the other apps, Music Game has one game only, and that’s memory recall through patterns. This app has different colored buttons which light up and produce music. The goal of the game is to recreate a pattern by repeating the light and sound combinations.  

It is available for free and has no monthly subscription fees to unlock any other features.
