Hi, I thought since the weather is absolutely rubbish I’d start a Brain Training App had a quick look in the AppStore there’s plenty of choice, anyone got any recommendations?

Neuronation is good. Quite tricky. So a good brain workout.

I’m active on words with friends. It’s like Scrabble with other little word games.

Sudoku and Chinese checkers are my two goto ones.
I use them as hand therapy to as I’ve not got the hand control I want. Trying to use the phone is a useful challenge (with a lot of frustration from how sensitive a tough screen is to all the wrong movements!

The app gives a rating. I’m not at the bottom but not far up the scale
If you pingme let me know yr from here cos I don’t accept all games. A minimum of 1 move a day works best normally

On chess.com my username is McCrocket. Used to be decent returning to play just recently. Still make silly mistakes so would rate myself back at reasonable beginner. I like speedy games.

On words with friends my username is Paulo McC.

Very Happy for any challenges.

My wife and I don’t have the brain training apps, but we do have Nintendo Switch which we bought during lockdown so that we could connect to internet and play games with our grandkids.
I’ve got to be honest, it’s the best thing we’ve ever bought!
We were on it last night, its connected to tv screen so you can see everything and we were playing tennis, bowling, football.
We do boxing, golf, racing- in fact everything and anything!
It’s great fun, keeps the mind active as you have to work the controllers - we wouldn’t be without it!
Take care, John

That’s fun John, @Bert I used to enjoy the tennis and bowling on the wii when my Sons were young, think it might’ve even helped my balance skills sometimes I still catch my balance like I’m surfing on the wii haha
