Peak

Overall Opinion: Peak provides you with a fun way to keep yourself mentally sharp. The software includes games that are meant to boost your mental prowess in a number of different areas, and you can use the software to compete against family and friends through the comparison of your performance in each game and the map developed by the system that shows the details of your brain. One of the most interesting aspects of the Peak mobile app is the personal trainer called Coach. The personal trainer is obviously nothing more than a simple AI that promotes progress and monitors performance, but it makes a big difference to your development. You don't need an internet connection to enjoy the games in Peak, and Peak Pro offers insights that are fully comprehensive along with custom workouts. Peak Pro also offers access to a number of modules that make training even easier. Some of these modules work to improve a specific skill, and they are produced with the help of qualified psychiatric professionals from the most esteemed educational institutions. Since the goal of the Peak mobile app is to improve brain function in a fun way, it was vital that neuroscientists from various fields collaborate on its development. Most people enjoy playing games to a certain degree, but there is no reason why that time can't be optimized to work for you. Many video games are going to offer some sort of cognitive improvement simply because of the nature of games, but the games found in Peak were designed with the express intent of boosting mental performance to the highest possible level. Psychiatrists agree that video games can be beneficial if applied in the proper manner. In a sense, these games could be called educational since they might fall in the same category as educational television. It's meant to be a learning experience, but it's disguised as entertainment. You don't necessarily have to upgrade to the full Peak Pro to enjoy the software, but it will help tremendously since it unlocks the vast majority of the content that is inaccessible in the free version. You'll also get more insightful analytics with Peak Pro, as well as customized training sessions. Some people could argue that these games are a bit too focused on cognitive development and not focused enough on the entertainment aspect. They do require more attention and focus than some other games, but that is to be expected. If the games lack the flash of entertainment-centric content, it's simply because they were designed with mental health as the primary directive.

Pros: Training Disguised As Fun Multiple Engaging Games
