  4. [R74] Peak 5/5 · US Love it: I bought the full version of Peak in 2019. It keeps me focused and entertained. I enjoy the wide variety of games and the ability to pick a specific game if I don’t want to do a whole set.
  5. [R4] Lumosity 1/5 · US Not working at all: I have been using the paid this app for several years. However, in the past week I have not been able to log on, being sent in cereals by AI, not getting responses to my email, etc. VERY FRUSTRATED- PLEASE FIX THIS!
  6. [R9] Lumosity 3/5 · US Maybe: Some games are great and too many don’t explain the how well enough. Its frustrating too often.
  7. [R22] Lumosity 2/5 · US App prob: This is the second time in as many weeks that my progress has not been counted ! I’m at almost 1500 days and it’s frustrating trying to get answers from the app
  8. [R63] Peak 3/5 · US Used to love this app: I’ve been using this app off and on for several years and have absolutely loved it. This week, every time I’ve tried to use my pro subscription, it will not allow me. I’ve contacted support but have had no response. Just an app I pay for I cannot use. I tried restarting my phone, I tried deleting the app, I tried restoring the purchase, I tried creating a new account - I get
  9. [R37] Lumosity 1/5 · US Cheated: While their games are fine, their service is not good. They deleted my account without consent or notification after I upgraded my subscription to premium. That left me without access to premium features. Now their solution is like create a new account and they will restore access to remainder duration of my subscription. Again, I have to create a new account they can not restore my old a
  10. [R25] Lumosity 1/5 · US Lost 126 day streak: I lost my 126 day streak along with all my badges simply because I wanted to change my email address. Now they are acting as if I am brand new and having me start all over. Support is absolutely the worst I have ever dealt with.
  11. [R12] Lumosity 3/5 · US Paying 😔: I wish you didn’t have to pay to use Lumosity. Most people try to find websites to better them selves and we shouldn’t have to pay to do that
  12. [R28] Lumosity 2/5 · US The games are cool but not free: The games are fun, but 90% of the games on the app are locked. You have to pay to access more.
  13. [R70] Peak 1/5 · US Completely unusable without subscription: When I first got this app, I could play the daily sample games without a subscription. Over time I had to watch more videos to play free. After several months hiatus, I tried to play today. I could not get through two short games of the "daily workout" without watching 4 videos. The problem is that after the video ad ends, you are stuck in a screen that yo
  14. [R81] Peak 3/5 · US Terrible ads: Love the app but not worth it for the disgusting amount of ads.
  15. [R64] Peak 1/5 · US Subscription does NOT work and Poor Customer Service: Purchased the annual pro plan 1 week ago and made several attempts to log in. Followed all the online instructions and reach out to the customer service. Peak’s customer service response is excruciatingly slow, I had to remind and follow up 6 times and wait more than 24 hours to get a simple response on what to do next. Highly recommend for f
