AARP Staying Sharp

The app occasionally does not register touch input immediately. During a timed test, I selected the correct answer, but the app did not initially recognize my tap. For timed activities, the touch response needs to be more accurate and consistent, since even a small delay or missed tap can affect the user’s score and overall experience. The answer selection interface should have cleaner input recognition and more reliable feedback when a choice is pressed.

I loved this app and spent half an hour to a hour playing the games every week. During the December holiday season, because of several family crises, I didn’t play the games. Shortly into the new year I eagerly returned. Everything changed. I was led in circles to privacy policies and TOS. Nowhere could I check anything. I was instructed to download AARP Now app. I did. I signed in and the app recognized me by name. It also has my account and card connection. I still can’t access the games. AARP apparently wants me to allow texts from them and sign up for rewards and newsletters. Why? My emails are useless with so many ads. I try to keep my texts for family, friends; medical communications and specific transactions. I don’t want to clutter this communication app. I am too old for this nonsense. Is AARP really here to help customers with what they ask for or is it just another group out to sell me things and then sell my info? What a shame. A few weeks ago I would have given this app 5 stars and a high praise review. Now I feel lured in and sold out. AARP I am rating this one star. Prove me wrong - let me enjoy keeping my mind alert and responsive with these games without all these additions and I will change this review, admit my error and praise your response.

This app could be really good. The information is accessible. But the games are not. Are use a screen reader, and the games are not accessible. The screen reader can’t read what’s on the game screen. I hope this makes sense. It’s The middle of the night right now, so my brains not all here. But if you could make it the games accessible as well for the blind. That would be awesome.
