Brain in Hand - any experience of it here?

SpikeyMark

Do any people here have experience of Brain in Hand?

My wife is suggesting it to me (she's ever on the lookout for help for me)

I would love to know of any experiences of it.

Thanks, Mark

  • I haven’t experience of it, and I probably wouldn’t need it as I am retired now and lead a quiet life. I think it would have been useful for me at at one time and I would like to know more about it.

    I have one reservation, which isn’t to take away from the functionality and purpose of the app. Would it make my brain become slower than it already is at times?  The adage ‘use it or lose it’ springs to mind. I used to know loads of telephone numbers before I put them in my iCloud address book, but now I wouldn’t know many telephone numbers if my phone wasn’t to hand.  

    I understand Brain In Hand makes the difference between someone being able to function or not in daily life and I have heard good reports of it.

    You can learn more here - as I mentioned below, it’s more than just an app. It’s a service that combines digital tools, personal coaching, and access to on-demand personal support at any time:

    They also advertise regular live demonstrations via Zoom. That being said, the one that I waited a few weeks to attend turned out to not be a live demo after all. They didn’t cover anything that I hadn’t already learned via the website, whereas I really wanted to see it in action, so I was left feeling very disappointed. I think that might have been an exception rather than the norm.

    I’d likely have pay for it privately (£175 per month, with a three month minimum initial commitment). So that’s not something I’m willing to enter into lightly!

    You could sign up for the next demo here, if you’d like:
