Binaural Beats App (β)

The app was delivered as advertised simple and easy interface along with small explanations. The fact the developer took the time to enable the "beats" to play in the foreground along with app, shows that they know the purpose and how theses tools are intended to be used. As for the "beats" themselves I do notice slight mood improvements post session but improvements are so slight any noticeable difference could be attributed to a placebo affect. That's not to say they are not working i'm trying hard to be patient and give them a chance to work but feel that honesty is the best policy when my evaluation will affect others decision to download and one thing I am certain of is the app and the design team did an excellent job delivering the product as advertised and in a way that is simple and easy to immediately implementing beats and and the theory behind them.

My husband and I have been using this app for about a week now. I was very skeptical at first as we subscribe to the old school box fan for white noise and an occasional Benadryl or Tylenol PM for a good night sleep. However, this past week has been a game changer!! We started out with just the speaker on the phone and then graduated to our JBL flip wireless speaker. We have played around with the right sound levels and time durations - HOLY CRAP - this works - it even seemed to worked on our dog! She falls asleep with us and I noticed she almost fell immediately sleep and was chasing rabbits within a few minutes. I am sure there is some kind of age limit for kids but I am going to try this for my teenager who has a horrible time falling asleep. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!

I read that scientists discovered reduced levels of beta-amyloid plaques in mice brains that had been exposed to sound waves produced at 40 hertz. This is the closest and most readily accessible way I’ve found to produce that frequency. I’m no expert though, and would need to confirm that the app produces true 40 hertz sound waves. I say this because there is also research pointing to light (visual) treatment at 40 hertz, but there you have to get LED lights with a modulator to produce true 40 hertz flickering - vs a generic light bulb that doesn’t have the true flickering. Any who, i purchased the app as a thank you to the developer and in hopes that this gets to him and perhaps sparks an idea in the direction of developing an idea to mitigate the effects of those propense to dementia.

Since the beginning of menopause, over 15 years, I have had much difficulty falling asleep, and staying asleep. In a very short time, this app has helped me to fall asleep quickly, turn off the annoying “chatter” of stress, worries, things that need to get done, etc. and allowed me to quickly fall asleep, even when I was frustratedly wide awake, and did not think I would be able to. When I would wake during the night, I would just focus back in on the sounds, and would return to sleep, quickly. I am not using headphones, merely playing my iphone quietly next to my pillow all night. Thank you to the creator for this amazing app.

I previously gave this app 5 stars, because of the novelty (at the time) of the app being able to generate binaural beats programmatically. That’s pretty cool. I’ve been using the app for a while now and unfortunately the experience is not very good. The monotone binaural tone generated is too high pitched with no way to lower the pitch. Someone with tinnitus said it sounded exactly like that and who wants self inflected tinnitus? The white-noise rain is just not good enough to soften the binaural tone either. However, you can mix in your own music, which is nice. But still, that high pitched tone is gruesome. How about adding some random vibrancy to the tone and the ability to lower the pitch? There is a simple timer which I paid for and a somewhat strange user interface which doesn’t allow you to select a precise decimal frequency. All in all a 5 star idea, but a 1 star experience.
