Elevate asks what you want to get better at, checks where you are starting, and then gives you a small set of games each day. Those games are picked to match your goals and your weaker spots. As you improve, the app adjusts so things stay challenging without becoming too hard.

Lumosity works by giving you a daily set of quick, timed games. Each one is built to challenge a different thinking skill. The app watches how you do, makes the games easier or harder to match your level, and tracks your scores over time.
