memory OS Reviews

I could not get memoryOS to work. It opens to a weird “palace” game scene and you’re supposed to like move around and supposedly it does something eventually but I tried several times and all I got was a bad digital new age soundtrack and a cartoon wall. There was nothing to click, no other options. No options to go to the next part. The only option was to start the “lesson” over again. But that just put me in a loop. There was a “support” button but when you click that it brings up categories of issues but I couldn’t click on them they were greyed out and when I tried to click on the reason for my inquiry it didn’t do anything. Bummer. The ad was good and I really wanted to try this out but I guess they have some technical issues to iron out. Maybe include instructions?

I will be giving every app I find on memoryOS Store that wants me to sign up for a subscription a nice one star review. People cannot afford for every freaking thing to be a subscription. It’s greedy and I absolutely will not support it. I may only be one person but hey, it’s a start.

Update to developer’s response: my review is not inappropriate. Your monthly subscription is more than Netflix. That’s ridiculous for something you might use only a few minutes a day. You are pricing poor people out of your services because you think everyone with an iPhone is rich. Some of us have old hand me down phones and just wanted to improve our memory without going into debt. Guess you disagree. My one star stands.

The Memory Palace disappoints. It’s a huge virtual reality room In a spaceship that doesn’t have a lot of different characteristics to memorize. You’d be better off using places that you have lived or streets that you have walked down.
Right now I’m on the conversion of numbers to letters and therefore words. They supply a terrific list of 1000 numbers and their corresponding words. It’s good that you can change them to words that follow the same rules but work better for you, but they didn’t first explain the principles of how and why you would relate each number to the specific letters.
As I get farther into the course I will determine if the people who created it are simply computer geniuses learned a few memory techniques and made an app, or if they actually understand how mnemonics is supposed to work.

I signed up for the lifetime subscription and it still requires more payment to unlock lessons and memory palace exercises. It’s also a bit cumbersome on an iPad to keep moving it vertical to horizontal and vice versa for certain things.
The tutorials are quite good, but it’s also information that can be found anywhere about memory training. There’s no real insight to how he became so successful. Which techniques worked best for him or how many hours did he put into memory training, etc. Maybe they are in a tutorial that I haven’t seen yet. There are a few tidbits here and there, but nothing substantive.
It’s great that they’ve gamified the memory training and it’s fun, but there’s nothing special about memoryOS.

Just out of the intro lesson it’s plain to see there is huge potential for this improving memorization of just about anything you want/need using at least one technique I’ve been introduced to before from Tony Buzan and memory.

memoryOS brings that to life though and actually encourages you to “play”, with the benefit of improving your memory along the way.

I don’t want to 5-star it just yet until I get the full experience and all the nuances. The ultimate review will be how it will help with my memory in the long run.

So why, when memoryOS “updated” to be exactly the same, was everything reset (making me start from scratch? memoryOS doesn’t even have good memory… that’s the only complaint I have, right now .

This is in response to my previous review. Thank you to the response team for reaching out and informing me about the log in. Obv. The mix up was my mistake. Upped a star but only not giving 5 starts because it’s too early for me too. So far I believe it’s worth the subscription. Also really great material without subscription, so very well done… so far.

A free expansion of the garage area (loci objects). It will be such a huge advantage to users, because its a new, possibly exciting, experience, which can more greatly infuse it into ones mind. (also more possibilities, for free additions, up to 50 or even a 100 loci objects for free users. Its possible. I believe results, will speak for itself and users will pay for the greater palaces and thus rewards. But please dont over charge.)( Sheer a sheep twice and year, but you can only gut it once.) To be clear i am signed up for lifetime subscription, on max(expert) level. But i was not at first, i was very upset at the apps bugs. I now realize your a new venture, with great promise and possibilities. So i signed up (invested) fully in OUR future. Thanks, and i look forward to the future of us and memoryOS!

When I first was introduced to the idea of a mind palace, I thought it was the coolest thing, and I attempted to teach myself how to do it. But memoryOS has an easy to use UI and has little bite sized courses that teach all sorts of memory tricks and it’s so cool.
But above all the virtual mind palaces is what I was most excited for, it is practically expanding the space you have in your long term memory and you could use this for anything from work or school speeches to memorize or even the names of every country in the world, it’s all possible, and memoryOS makes all of it so easy to understand. 5 stars.

The instructor is obviously brilliant, and an award-winning master of memory, however, the speed of his speech, and tone make this a little slow to get through. I feel it could be more engaging. Also, sometimes the dragging and dropping of items is not smooth. Consider re-organizing the quizzes so they are easier to move around and also quicker to complete. Perhaps, instead of dragging things back and forth, clicking on one item and seeing a drop-down menu to select from would allow everything to be on one screen. Finally this application although useful, at least for me, I already knew some of these tricks, and I think this is a little bit over priced. Costly. I think a reasonable one time payment, or a lower monthly cost makes more sense, and may make this more available to the masses who probably need it more than the people that have the money to spend on it. The main reason I got this was to see if it would be good for my kids. I do plan to let my kids use this as I wish I learned these tricks much earlier in life. Everything I said above will be amplified to a child’s mind, and I’m sure a more engaging host, and easier buttons to navigate would make this more child friendly as well. Nevertheless, Thank you.

I’ve only just started and took a pre-test where after the intro I was able to remember 13 of 15 words in order. I’m certain after the skills that I’ll do better at the next optional quiz. As I’ve aged and so many things come at me at once, I find ordering information for later recall to be problematic and the harder I concentrate on something the faster it slips away. I suppose I used to remember things naturally by building a story, but that seems to be more difficult now that I don’t take the time to order things. But as we age, the things that happened naturally and quickly seem to become harder. I really think these methods and skills will help me to order, store, and recall what I need to.

Incrdible. Im excited to learn more. I’ve only done one lesson so far and the guy in the videos captured my intrigue with how informative he sounds. It seems like they’ve researched extensively. I’ve heard of mind palaces before but I never know what they were. My only critique so far would be that I didn’t know there would be a free option and almost deleted memoryOS . I forgot what I pressed to get me there (hence why I got memoryOS lol) but it wasn’t clear. I’m happy that’s it’s an option so I can try it out without having to remember to cancel the free trial if I didn’t like it.

If you engage in the world of memory at any level some, maybe even most of this will be familiar to you. Yet, memoryOS has been more useful for me in a month than most of my other adventures have been over the years. The presentation is perfect for a busy distracted life, the modules are interactive, and fun and the information is chunked so that it is easier to internalize. If books about memory (techniques)are the theory memoryOS is the practical. Plus, unlike high priced workshops you can take it wherever you go and practice as much as you want. …highly recommend!

As a visual learner, these techniques are PERFECT for me. I’m also quite competitive so I’m driven to really focus on using the tools to make sure i get each exercise all correct. I love how each step is broken down into small digestible chunks of information or concepts. They each build on one another and the narrator provides excellent explanations of the tips and how to utilize them. Only 2 lessons in and I find myself implementing the tips during my day without even thinking about it!! I highly recommend for anyone who is either worried about their memory or has so much going on that it’s difficult to keep track of things. I’m interested to see how long I retain the information that was memorized in the first exercises….

I’ve been using memoryOS daily for about a year, and i’ve been absolutely blown away by how much it has helped me in different aspects of my life. It’s helped me be more productive at work, in school, and genuinely improved my relationships—for example, I can now remember peoples names and birthdays! The thing I appreciate the MOST about memoryOS is the excellent support it continues to get. I love to see the ways memory palaces have started the “transfer” system and rewarded loci coins. It has given me a huge memory challenge and project that keeps me logging in everyday. Further, I like the simple “streak” system added just a few days ago. My only suggestion is to KEEP DOING THIS STUFF!! It genuinely has helped me improve my very poor memory and i’m certain it’s helped many others as well. My only suggestion might be adding more little “games,” that bring together learning from previous modules; For example, a game where you have a whole world map and you have to find the countries, capitals, bodies of water, et cetera—I think that would be a great way to bring together all that is taught about maps from previous modules into one practical and fun application. Thank you so much for this wonderful app and I look forward to future updates!

I’m loving memoryOS, and I’ve managed to unlock all rooms of 2 virtual palaces from free loci. But there is a really annoying problem in the “overall” game mode. Medieval palace has 200 objects to place once you unlock all the objects (which is great and so much fun), but it takes absolutely forever to find the object you need in 200 objects spread into screens of 15. I spend almost all of my time endlessly scrolling to find the object. It would be great (and hopefully easy to implement) an alphabetically sorted list or a search function in the object menu. It’s really frustrating because it scrolls slowly and I accidentally hit the wrong object all the time from trying to close or open the menu.
Thank you!

My grandma has dementia and my memory is in decline due to high stressful events I have gone through. I used memoryOS for a couple of days before going on a trip. It was challenging but achievable, and definitely worked. Coming back from my trip I returned to memoryOS and I am happily surprised to remember bits of the mind palaces and rooms, as well as the techniques taught. The videos are very well explained and the activities are organized in a way you have guidance and a path but also some sort of flexibility too. I have high hopes and can see that if I put the effort, my memory will sky rocket and just quite literally change my life. Thank you for making memoryOS!! 💕

I recently started using this app, and I am absolutely amazed at how effective it is. memoryOS has genuinely revolutionized the way I remember information. From daily tasks to important facts, I am recalling things with unprecedented ease.

The user interface is incredibly intuitive and user-friendly, making it a joy to use. What stands out the most is the advanced memory techniques incorporated into memoryOS , which are both scientifically sound and practical. The interactive exercises and games are not only fun but also highly effective in reinforcing memory retention.

Since I started using this app, I've noticed a significant improvement in my ability to remember names, dates, and even complex information. memoryOS provides detailed progress tracking, which is both motivating and insightful.

Overall, this app is an exceptional tool for anyone looking to enhance their memory skills. It's well-designed, easy to use, and, most importantly, it works. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to boost their memory capabilities.

One thing to note is that this app can be a bit expensive. However, there are three subscription levels available, and it becomes more affordable if billed annually. Students will find the annual option quite budget-friendly. They also offer a week-long free trial, but be warned: once you try it, you’ll likely want to keep it and the expense will cease to be a concern.

When I saw the reviews about how pricey the subscription plans are, I questioned even downloading memoryOS . However, they offer a 7 day free trial with an option to unsubscribe so I said what the heck. After an awesome onboarding experience, I quickly realized how useful and FUN memoryOS can be for someone who has always struggled to remember things and engage with self improvement apps/books. I’m signing up for a month to see what else memoryOS has to offer. It feels like I’m playing a video game!!

I’ve read countless books, watched documentaries and been intrigued by shows like the mentalist and Stephen kings dreamcatcher which make use of the memory Castle. This is legit, While the method is scientifically backed and ancient before now it’s been mostly self taught, being a bit abstract and little guidance, it’s hard for most people, like myself, to make the jump between bites for information and larger volumes. memoryOS is a dramatic improvement! I am a kickstarter backer and watched the development of memoryOS and can attest to the determination and dedication of the team behind it! Great job!!!! I will definitely be enjoying using memoryOS, I look forward to the future and a VR version, a memory castle you can “physically” transverse ?! That’ll be the ultimate experience!!!! Looking forward to where this team will take this !

So far great app! My only qualm is that the only option provided is a subscription model. I know this has been a trend for many areas and apps, and this is no exception. However, I would like to mention that there are many people such as myself who would prefer to pay more money in order to actually own some thing. This is becoming rare, and it is unfortunate for many reasons.

I enjoyed memoryOS so much! It’s a new way to experience developing one’s mind in an enclosed, accessible design with a master in the craft! Wow! I tried to use some of these techniques through my masters program, but this is so much more potent and efficient. I hope to teach my kids when they are older. Thank you! I can’t wait to continue this guided journey! 🚀 Update - Dec 2022: Honestly, this is sooo cool! I’ve never had a mind for memorizing facts; it has always been a matter of motivation. So, to sit down for a few minutes and learn a bunch of Oscar movies and years they won is phenominal!

First steps were slow and uncertain. Take the ‘before’ memory assessment first, then the quick memory training second. If you follow these two steps, you’ll suddenly be accelerating rapidly, making great gains.

I’ve been interested in memory training for more than 50 of my 68 years. I’ve owned the books by Harry Lorraine et al but reading a book does not a memory master make.

I’ve searched and searched for a home study program that works and memoryOS is it. I’ve made more progress in the last 24 hours than in the previous 50 years and I’m really just getting started. If the rest of the course is anywhere near as good as the first 24 hours, the money I spent is negligible.

Already folks think I’ve got a marvelous memory but that’s just due to flash cards and ruthless spaced reputation training a couple of decades ago. They’ve not seen anything yet!

Now I have a bright granddaughter and I’m anxious to sharpen my own saw before training her in what I know. I’m sure I’ll be buying her a license when age appropriate.

If you have any doubt, just do it!

for a very long time. I’ve always suffered from a “bad” memory. A few years ago, I learned about the memory palace system. I ended up buying a ton of books including Moonwalking with Einstein. I did my best to practice the memory palace system, and I did so much work learning the various tools that memory champions have used in the past. However, it was very difficult to stick to learning the process without someone guiding you. So, to finally see memoryOS available and to have it be so well designed…it’s amazing!! I cannot wait to start remembering things. This is going to change a lot of peoples lives!!

As one of the first kickstarter investors, I waited a lonngggg time for memoryOS. I was worried it wouldn’t live up to my expectations, but it has far surpassed them! Learn 50 digits of pi in 20 minutes? Check. Learn all the countries of the world in a few days? Check. Tools for memorizing historical timelines? Check check and check! Sure, some of the lessons might feel a little “useless” (when am I ever going to need to recite the digits of pi?) but that’s not the point here. These techniques will stick with me for a lifetime for things I really DO need to learn. (And for better or worse, I’ll never forget those digits of pi or the birth and death years of Dickens, Darwin, Dostoyevsky ever again)

Creative. Brilliant. Exciting. I wish the creator will provide a Mac OS version too. I would like to use the digital mind palace to remember stuff, but the phone screen might still be too small for me. I haven’t tried projecting it onto a larger projector yet, but will consider doing so. I sincerely hope that a Mac OS version can come out so I can better develop an immersive and effective experience using the digital palace to remember stuff🤩it’s surely with great potential with VR. Looking forward to it. I do wonder if users can insert images into those mind palace and photogenic memory works variously. Excited to find out more and see memoryOS ’s continuous development. Best wishes

I have been using memoryOS for the past week spending sometime every night before bed and I feel like I have learned so much and have new skills that I can actually apply. Unfortunately though I am a broke college student and I’m not willing to pay for the membership so I am no longer able to access any new content but I would highly recommend people to download memoryOS and consider paying for a membership plan because I see this as an intellectual investment. I was so excited to keep learning I hope one day more free content will be available. Thank you!

I had heard of these memore techniques from books like Jim Kwiks "Limitless", but how to implement them or really "WHAT" to learn was kind of difficult to decide.

I love that memoryOS already has things for you to learn in it and daily practice helps you maintain the skill. My only hope is they keep adding new modules of things to learn because once I get through all the modules I'm gonna be hungry for more.

MY ONLY ADD ON would for them to make a "Create a Quiz" section where you can pick the words or things you're trying to remember in order and then have it quiz you to see if you get the order right.

I was a Kickstarter backer a few years ago. At the time, they released a beta app and it was very limited but showed proof of concept. I was excited about the full version yet after a series of launch delays I lost track of their development and moved on. I’m so glad I decided to check back in with this project. Wow! memoryOS has evolved a lot since its beta. They really did follow through on their Kickstarter promise, even if it was a little late. Better late than never! Highly recommend memoryOS for memory training. This ain’t a game. It’s real training. Get after it!

I’ve read books on memory techniques and have even taken a course on them. While there is a lot of great content available in other places, this app seems like a superior way to learn and practice these techniques. The lessons are bite-sized and engaging, allowing you to fit them into your schedule. Plus the addition of mind palaces makes it easy to pick up mind storage without leaving your house.
I’m currently on the free plan, and everyone would benefit from the generous amount of content there, and I will likely upgrade to a paid plan soon. If memoryOS makers keep producing content it will be one of the premier mind training platforms that is fun and also useful for work, school and life beyond memoryOS !

I was not expecting much when I downloaded memoryOS but I am genuinely impressed. I feel like I stumbled upon a hidden secret or something. I think that its lack of popularity may be due to the fact that you cannot access any material without signing up for a free trial. I almost didn’t sign up because you cannot even see what memoryOS is really about before you have to create an account. After seeing the level of detail, instruction and thought went into memoryOS I find the price much more reasonable.

Great design, great teaching. I only wish the mine palaces were available in vr. Not my first memory course, I’ve done books before. It’s way better in app form. Also virtual palaces are a game changer. I’ve wanted to use these memory techniques for medicine before but never got into it because I just wasn’t convinced that I’d have enough mind palace space. I’m thrilled now that memoryOS is now available with ready made mind palaces. Too late for med school but just in time for residency training!

I’ve only just started and I’m impressed with how much I’ve been able to learn already. I’m so excited to try more techniques! I really need help with my memory and memoryOS is giving me hope!

The only thing I’d want to improve so far is that when typing, it doesn’t autocorrect or underline misspellings. Maybe that’s on purpose, but I fat finger typing all the time so it takes me a while to go back and check my spelling. I think misspelling is why I got an answer wrong. ;)

memoryOS actually teaches how to memorize things. I’ve improved my memory skills by a ton since beginning it. From remembering new people’s names to lists of things to facts that I enjoy knowing to impress friends, all have vastly improved. Great app. Get it. Use it daily. And see the difference. I’m only a few weeks in so I’m excited to see even more lessons. And I hope memoryOS creators keep adding more and more facts and stuff for us to memorize!!

I was really excited about memoryOS- but come on. It was clearly a mistake to make it so ridiculously expensive. Loci tokens? Guys, change that, and charge a 15 dollars a month subscription AT THE MOST for everything. It’s the only way you’ll ever make any money from this, unless you go B2B.

I’m not gonna give you a low star rating because I don’t want to knock your score down so early in the game.

Looking forward to the changes in pricing though!

Concept was interesting and well executed. I am surprised how reachable it now seems. I thought a memory palace was infinitely huge. It could be, but it doesn’t need to be. I could do this on my own, but the gamification makes it enjoyable and fun. I’m sure there are great nuggets that I will learn as well since it’s made with the best of the best. For a life long and life enhancing skill, the cost seems worth it. I’ll finish the trial and make the determination then!

I never write reviews. And I think that memoryOS is one of the most useful tools to help not only achieve better memory skills, but also benefit from those skills by connecting more with others simply because you remember things. It’s a great skill to have and a great skill to build. Straight from the introductory session alone, you will learn a skill that you could use instantly in real life. Download memoryOS.
