Questions people ask
01Does this help with dementia prevention?
Senseroutine is built to support dementia-prevention activity and everyday brain fitness. Short reaction and memory activity is designed to become a daily habit, and the records let you watch your own changes over time. It is not a medical device, so it does not stand in for a diagnosis. If you are worried about a change in memory or health, take your records to a doctor.
02What is brain fitness?
Much as you walk a little every day for your body, it means keeping up a short daily activity that uses reaction, memory and attention. Senseroutine turns that into a one-minute habit and shows you how well the habit is holding. We are pursuing collaboration with cognitive-health societies and research institutions, and pseudonymised records from the app inform that research.
03Is it really free?
Yes. There is no payment screen. If that changes, this page and the store listing will change with it.
04Do I need an account?
No. Open the app and start. We do not ask for a name or a phone number.
05Does it work without an internet connection?
The exercises and your records work offline, so you can keep mobile data switched off. Only the age-group and overall averages refresh when you are connected.
06How long should I play each day?
A minute is enough. Doing it every day matters more than doing it for a long time. On days when you want more, the training tab lets you practise as much as you like, and that practice is kept separate from today’s record.
07My result is worse than yesterday.
That is normal. On a tired night your reactions slow down. Read the line across a few weeks instead of one day’s number — that is why the chart is weekly.
08The text looks small to me.
Increase the font size in your phone’s settings and the app follows it. On Android that is Settings → Display → Font size. If it is still too small, write to support@senseroutine.com.
09Can I use it with the sound off?
Yes. Turn the sound off in settings and it uses vibration. With both off the exercises still work exactly the same.
10Are there ads?
Yes. Advertising is what keeps the app free. If you would rather not see ads matched to your interests, delete the advertising ID in Settings → Privacy → Ads on your device. Ads still appear after that; they simply stop being personalised.
11Are my results used in research?
Yes, after they are pseudonymised. We use them to research and develop sensory training programmes and services that support healthy daily activity, and they may appear in academic research and papers. They are stripped of anything identifying before analysis, and findings are published only as statistics. Write to privacy@senseroutine.com if you would rather they were not used.
12Can I install it on my parent’s phone for them?
Yes, and many people do. It helps to agree on the reminder time together. Records stay on that phone, so they will not mix with yours.
13Is there an iPhone version?
Not yet. Android is out now and an iPhone version is in preparation.
14How do I delete my records?
Deleting the app deletes the records on the phone with it. There is no copy left behind.
