From what I have read there isn't any legitimate brain training apps for the average person. I know there are apps out there to help with specific disorders and things like that having some positive results, but everything I have seen on brain training shows little benefit from it, and it is really just a way to make yourself feel like you are doing something from what I can tell.
That being said, as someone with a bad memory, keeping a detailed journal and writing important or interesting things down when they happen help me remember things much better. If you can say what you want to remember out loud that is even better because it is another way to solidify what you are trying to remember.
A trick my counselor taught me is to Journal before bed, read what you wrote when you are finished, and then go to sleep. This is supposed to help with long term memory of what you wrote down, and I have seen improvement doing this with my long term memory.
