Brain Trainer is a game based mind training app that has 20 million people using it. 

I personally have used it for approx. 4-5 months and was able to track the increase in my abilities in specific areas through their unique gaming system. I see a great possibility with this organization. I personally would like to purchase both iLs and lumosity to combine their knowledge and passion into several niche applications, but that is an idea for another day, another blog, and another dream:)

This is not the end all be all ADHD-specific cognitive training program that I perhaps had assumed it was, HOWEVER, it did help me see which areas I needed to improve upon as well as helping me improve on those areas. 

It is clean and very ADHD-friendly visually as well.

Skitch

If you have an *iPhone, Mac, or an iPad, and do any sort of projects, Skitch is an EXCELLENT image plus text tool manipulation system, but I will let the pictures speak for themselves. :) These pictures are MADE with Skitch!


*For all my iPhone Users, this is the official Evernote Skitch page: "And yes, many of you are no doubt saying “where’s my iOS version?!”. The answer is, it’s on the production line. It’s coming!"

New Intro for ADHDApp.me

Price Check by Amazon

One of the reasons I personally like this app so much, is the ability to be able to walk into any store, scan a barcode and see if there's a cheaper solution close by or on the Internet. Period. Definitely for EVERYONE! It is also free:)

Grocery iQ to shop better!

Click to see the App

This free app allows me to track exactly what I'm shopping for, make a list, basically make sure I have everything I need for my week of nutrition. We all know how important regularly scheduled nutrition is for ADHDers.

I personally use this app every week. You will probably see it on my TO DO lists in HomeRoutine when I review that app! :)

 This app has a WEB based side that enhances the function,  allowing me to use my computer to do the actual grocery lists. The whole kit n' caboodle is free.

MindNode for PROJECTS

Click to go to MindNode

MindNode plays to the creative/idea generation side of me and my ADHD; If you are like me and see a "big picture" first when you reflect on(pretty much any) action you want to take, you will LOVE this App.

Here are some screenshots of a project I am currently working on that would never have progressed this far without Mind Node. Definitely a #superADHDfriendly
app. This visually organized "whiteboard" lets you add any documents(JPEGs, PDFs, .DOC, etc...) right into the "Mind Map".

Evernote!

Evernote is my favorite app of all time. It helps me save ideas, things I want to read later, and even inspirational pictures or quotes. It is a second memory.

Honestly at this point I really don't know what I would do without it. Best of all it's free!

www.evernote.com will show you a new way to live!
