After investing significant time carefully answering the ad/setup’s every single questions so that you have now more reasons to buy it (super annoying modern marketting tactics)—ensuring the experience would also hopefully be tailored to your needs—you’re suddenly hit with the absurd reality of this app’s pricing: a *ludicrous* $150 yearly plan. This outrageous cost is somehow pitched as a “great deal,” even though most comparable apps charge around $50 annually. And before you can even learn about this scammy price tag, the app demands your email address. My advice? Use a fake one. No one should give away their personal data to such a money-hungry operation without serious caution.Memory is, without question, one of the most precious things we have. For anyone who has witnessed the devastating impact of dementia or Alzheimer’s on loved ones, this truth is deeply personal. An app claiming to support memory improvement should prioritize accessibility and affordability to make a real difference in people’s lives. Instead, the creators of MemoryOS chose the path of greed. They could have easily followed in the footsteps of competitors like Impulse, which offers a highly affordable $70 lifetime membership plan (a mere $15 difference from MemoryOS’s *yearly* plan). But no—helping humanity clearly takes a backseat to maximizing profits.And it gets worse. They didn’t stop at exorbitant pricing—they doubled down on deception. For *years,* while homelessness and poverty rise, this app has proudly slapped a fake “50% off” sale on its already bloated price to trick more people into thinking $150 is a bargain. It’s an insult to users and a shameless display of modern marketing manipulation. All the while, comparable apps—often just as good or better—remain far more reasonably priced. For instance, Peak, another memory-training app, offers a *genuine* yearly plan at $34.99, a fraction of MemoryOS’s cost.This app is not just expensive—it’s a blatant cash grab disguised as a “tool for self-improvement.” I wouldn’t doubt they got a good program as I couldn’t test it but the fact that instead of making a meaningful impact, they pour their resources into deceptive advertising campaigns, hooking unsuspecting users into subscription plans designed to drain their wallets month after month or year after year. If they truly cared about humanity, they’d prioritize affordability and transparency, but clearly, profit margins seems to be the only priority here so I’d love to hear their explanation to the super high price tag in these quite rough times. Until something changes drastically, I will boycott this app without hesitation. Better options exist—more affordable, ethical alternatives that don’t exploit their users. With advancements in AI and the growing availability of tools for self-improvement, I’m optimistic that other developers will step up and deliver superior solutions that don’t come with the same level of corporate greed. I’d much rather support those efforts than line the pockets of a company that sees people’s memory struggles as nothing more than an opportunity for profit.
