I thought it was reported a whole back that the benefits of those "brain training" apps were vastly over-hyped. Gonna have to go back & look for those reports.
I believe the finding was that learning new skills was the beneficial part, and it didn't help to keep doing them once you were proficient
Learning is good for the brain at any age. Picking up a new skill, traveling to a foreign land, starting a new job with new people…
Fiddling with an app on your phone…. Not so much.
