Keep your brain sharp with this great “brain training” app that offers a variety of brain games that let users work on memory, listening, and other skills. Activities include reading comprehension, math skills, estimation and writing skills, in a series of short games. One key feature we like is that the app keeps track of users’ progress and adapts as you go along. With more than 25 games, a workout calendar, and performance tracking, Elevate both entertains and educates. Cost: Free, with premium upgrades available.
