What does Performance Age measure?
Two short self-tests. A cognitive “brain age” (four quick tasks covering speed, executive function and memory) and a physical “body age” (a 30-second chair stand and a single-leg balance hold). Each returns the age your performance most resembles, with an honest range.
Is this a medical or diagnostic test?
No. It is an educational estimate, not a medical or diagnostic test and not a medical device. It cannot detect, screen for or rule out any condition. If you have concerns about your memory, thinking, strength, balance or falls, please speak to your GP or a qualified clinician.
How is my score worked out?
Your results are compared against published, age-normative research and returned as an estimate with an uncertainty range. A single session is a noisy measurement — the most useful signal is the direction when you re-measure over time.
Is my data private?
Yes. Your measurements are stored only on your device and are not sent to us. There is no account and no tracking. See our Privacy Policy.
How do I delete my data?
In the app, go to Settings → Clear all data, or simply delete the app. Both remove your stored measurements from the device.
What does it cost?
Your first measurement is free. A one-time unlock opens both tests, unlimited re-measurements, and your full trend over time.
How do I restore a purchase?
Open the unlock screen and tap Restore purchase, or reinstall the app and restore. Your unlock is tied to your Apple ID, so it carries across your devices.
How do I get a refund?
Purchases are handled by Apple. Refund requests are made through Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com.
Is the physical test safe?
It involves physical activity — rising from a chair and balancing. Use a firm chair without arms pushed against a wall, keep clear space around you, have someone nearby if you feel unsteady, and stop immediately if you feel pain, dizziness or breathlessness. You take part at your own risk — see our Terms of Use.
A test looks wrong or won’t load in my browser (web version).
Use an up-to-date standard browser such as Safari or Chrome, rather than an in-app browser inside another app, and refresh the page. If a problem persists, email us with your device and browser.
How often should I re-measure?
Whenever you like — monthly or quarterly works well. Re-measure under similar conditions (same time of day, device and seat) so the trend is meaningful. You can set reminders in Settings.
