Great app

Works well, my favorite has to be coffee it really gets me wired up. IMO most of the sounds work but some work better than others, which leads me to beleive that brainhack would be more worth the money, btw I own brain hack as well. Also to that idiot complaining about the apps inability to run in the background apple doesn't allow apps to run in the background, also I don't know why you would want to do this seeing as most people find binaural beatsto function better whenyour eyes are closed and you have nothing to distract you.

Best of bunch to date

I have almost half a dozen binaura tonel apps and this is the one I use most. There's something about how the tracks sound (different than any of the others - maybe varring pitches/tempos?) that keeps pulling me back. Favorites are Coffee, Mental Refresh, and Relaxation. The first two really uplift my mood and increase my energy and Relaxation is really good for sleep. I often find myself falling asleep listening to it. Excellent app. Bottom line you really feel the effects of this app. Well worth the modest investment.

it just works

i can't speak to the scientific validity of this concept, but i'll say this: i've been using the sleep induction track for the past week and have had some of the most restful and sound sleeps i've had in months. coincidence? maybe. call me a happy skeptic for the time being. also, contacted Jakub with a question and got a speedy and friendly reply. looking forward to future upgrades. NOTE: according to Jakub, the background "hiss" or "static" which is part of tracks like sleep induction or relaxation are *supposed* to be there. for the price of a coffee, what have you got to lose?

Fell asleep before charging the phone  
By: parrot5 - 30-Oct-2008
Version: 1.5
Every night I listen to things on my phone and then put it on the dock to charge it, just before I drift to sleep. I claim to be very good at judging when I'll drift to sleep, and always remember to charge it. Every single night for a year since I got the original iPhone. Last night, on the second night I'm using this app, I fell asleep before putting my phone on the dock!!! (luckily I have a charger at work). I just became a believer.

Very Satisfied  
By: DylantOttawa - 28-Oct-2008

I'm actually amazed at how this seems to work - whether it be to help sleep or ease a headache. I know the science behind it is not fully supported but both my wife and i cannot argue with the fact that we can feel the effects. The application has a few rough edges as noted in some of the reviews, however I suspect many of these will be fixed in the next, and upcoming, releases. i emailed the author (Jakob) with a feature request (a fading out at the end of a session rather than an abrupt end) and within hours he responded indicating that it was planned for the next release.

Yowza.

Great App. I usually toss and turn all night, but last night I downloaded Mind Wave and plugged in my headphones and hit the Sleep program. This morning I woke up, had not moved all night, and felt rested. When I went to get out of bed, the earbuds were still in my ear (and that never happens!). If you have sleep issues, try this application. It was most definitely worth the uninterrupted sleep I had last night. The earbuds still in my ears after waking up tell the tale.

Sublime  
By: Acutatechman - Dec 11, 2008

I knew such science existed but to have it in the iPhone is very sensible. The sleep aid works wonderfully. I am a guitarist, I used a creativity session and played afterwards, my style was very, very diferent than usual. Riffs constantly came to me and evolved beautifully. This is a state of mind that would normally require a mind altering substance. Once you allow your brain to become in tune with the sound, you are there. Amazing application.

Such an amazing app about real technology that really works!  
By: Andrew Bentley - Nov 25, 2008

This is an amazing app for $2, simply amazing. I've been using brainwave entrainment for the past 2.5 years, and this has just made my life so much easier. Read other reviews for praises and testimonials. I love it too, however I wish to share some ideas I have to make it even better:
1) On meditation tracks, ramp up the end with beta & perhaps voice to bring you back out of meditation more smoothly.
2) Fix first-load loudness, and remove the repeating click where tracks were spliced.
3) Great idea with the strobe-light concept, but integrate it into the actual soundtracks so the light and sound synchronize. (enhances effects, more of brain is involved)
4) Give some more details with each soundtrack, guidelines, anything more.
5) When you hit play, have a window popup asking how long the timer should be set for this session.
6) Give the ability to make your own tracks with either mp3/wav import & perhaps even a native frequency player.
7) Even have a morning alarm function that starts playing beta to awake you more easily, automatically.
8) And of course go above and beyond your own expectations to make the best BWE app there ever will be. Then, you can charge more! Cuz I would pay more.
I hope the developer can see this. Cheers

Excellent - No more Clicks  
By: Romulus+ - Nov 23, 2008
Version: 2.0
The new V1.5 update eliminates the clicks to these already great sessions + adds a new session to aid the mind. I use mind Wave daily, and select the best session for the desired effect. Great Job Jakub - I'm not sure what to recommend - perhaps a method to create a play list, so that sessions can be played automatically in a specified sequence.
Once again Bravo! Emailed Jakub, regarding the issues with the patch 2.2 upgrade. He is working ok the issue. I have several applications that broke with firmware 2.2, this developer was the first to let me know that he was fixing the issue. Thanks much.

Cant wait for updates!!!

A while back ago I was listening to a morning show & they were talking about binaural tones & they sure got my attention! I found this yesterday bought it & tried the coffee one in the morning, but I wasn't sure if it was the program or my ADD medicine that kicked in, so at night I tried the Meditation one & the last minute or so of the 20 min timer my head suddenly got really heavy and I didn't even want to move,...I knocked right out & I slept the whole night! I want to go get some more comfortable earphones so I can lay down and listen to them!!! Cant wait for new ones!!! GREAT JOB!!!

Great app- would like to offer a couple suggestions  
By: KIRBYBUNNY - Nov 4, 2008
Version: 2.0
I really like this app. and do feel that it works. I was a skeptic, but I'm really glad I gave this a try. A couple things I would especially like to see would be a choice of background sounds to choose from- my favorite would be ocean waves. It would also be nice to have a fader available to end the session on the app. It can be a little jarring when it just abruptly ends. A fader at the beginning wouldn't be bad either. Keep up the good work and thanks for making such a useful app.
** Thanks for the updates- I am really enjoying the improvements- would be great still to have a choice of background sounds. I'd love this to be combined with your mind freek app. That really sounds interesting. Looking forward to seeing what is added next! Keep up the good work.

Very interesting....

I was unfamiliar with binaural tones until this app but now I think they're completely facinating. I've always had a hard time going to sleep but now I'm out before the timer shuts off (15mins)! Excited about mindfreek but will wait till there are more choices added to it. And for those confused about the visual strobe light....do a search on wiki for dream machine...it goes along with binaural beats and seems interesting!

This works  
By: RM Imagery - Nov 1, 2008

I love this app. I really like 4 of the tones. The sleep induction is a little too intense though so I use the Relaxation one for that. Study aid is pleasing. Just updated it last night and was disappointed with the visual stimulation being just a strobe that we control the speed. Would make more sense if the strobe was in tune with a given tone. I expected something serene and stimulating like the Oxygen (get that too by the same developer) graphics of molecules flying toward us. But this still gets 5 stars. Looking forward to more updates and tones - perhaps a more peaceful sleep tone.

The Standard  
By: XavaX - Nov 1, 2008
Version: 2.0
Man, this is cool! Totally works... Like any sort of self-improvement mechanism, you get more from it when you have "intent": for instance wanting and trying to be relaxed goes hand-in-hand with the relaxation tones. So don't go jogging while listening to them. A bargain compared to the other binaural tone applications (they're 1.99 for ONE tone, this has more than ten. I'd buy this again! > I love the latest update, but could we have some information on how to use the visual stimuli? Right now I'm kind if afraid to use it without guidance. (I don't have a history of seizures, but I'd rather not start one)

Amazing App!  
By: dainbramage9 - Oct 30, 2008
Version: 1.5
I saw this app on the top 100, it looked pretty interesting so I figured I would try it out. Well, guess what? It really works! I have been using this app for a while now and I use it to study all the time. My scores have been going higher on tests and things, and it is really relaxing to listen to besides. When I had a question that I asked the developer, he responded VERY promptly even though I asked about things that he had probably been asked a million times. This is a great app and I definently am looking forward to future updates for this one. Buy it now!

Awesome App!!

Just tweeted on Twitter, of course, that I had a headache for 2 hours and tried to take a nap to get rid if it, and I woke up and still had it. Remembered that this app I just bought yesterday said they had a Headache Treatment. Set it for 15 minutes and now my headache is gone! Awesome app! Can't wait to try the other sections as I need them!! Worth buying!! Love it!! Judy in PA

Wow, at first I was almost positive that this was not going to work. Boy was I wrong!! It works like a charm, especially in the morning; I use the Coffee tone to wake myself up and get pumped, and it actually works! This is the greatest app in the AppStore! Great job! My best regards go out to the developer. My only problem is that I recently updated to 2.2 firmware for my iPod Touch, and now everytime I use this app it stops playing the the tone as soon as my iPod's display turns off (goes to sleep). Please fix this! Otherwise it's a 5-star app! (Sorry if there are typing errors, I'm using my iPod Touch to type this)

I was skeptical. But...

Bottom line: it works. Whether by science or by pure placebo effect, the fact still stands: it affects you in a very positive way. I'm a film student, and I have to read tons of screenplays and books of theory which can get tiring. It becomes harder and harder to pay attention and actually learn something. Now, however, I use Mind Wave during my study times and IT WORKS! I absorb exponentially more information in less time and effort. I highly recommend this program to anyone, especially my fellow students!

Very Interesting App  
By: Malasho - Oct 17, 2008
Version: 1.0
I agree with most of the reviews already posted. Sound gaps are annoying and it would be nice to have more options with regard to the white sounds that are overlayed. One issue that I have experienced is at first selection of a preset, the volume is way too loud, regardless of the slider's position. If I let a preset finish and then select it again with the exact same volume setting, it comes on dramatically louder and I must tap the slider (not actually moving it) to get the volume to correct.
I am a very large skeptic by nature, especially when it comes to non-traditional approaches to the body. I believe that the placebo effect is very powerful and goes a long way toward making people feel like something works, even if it doesn't. Having said that, I downloaded this app expecting to be disappointed with the results, but for $1.99 I could live with that. So far, I am quite interested with my experiences. It is very possible that even as a skeptic I am getting some placebo effect, but the frequencies do seem to have an effect. I have found that some of the presets give me an almost Deja Vu feeling, consistently enough to merit further interest. I would love to see some overall improvements, but give great credit to the author for making such an affordable application with so much potential.
It does not appear to me that the benefits are necessarily quite as clear cut as the preset descriptions would imply, they do seem to be in the ballpark though. I have given this application a four star rating based on where it is now and the author's stated commitment to continued development. It is a simple application, but one that stands largely alone in that it offers a selection of effects in a single package.
If you are at all interested in something like this application, I would definitely recommend trying it.
UPDATE: I am liking this application more and more as I use it. My wife is a medical professional and at least as skeptical as I am regarding alternative treatments. She suffers from frequent headaches. I finally convinced her to help me test out this application a few days ago when her head was throbbing. She tried the headache program instead of the usual ibuprofen and to her great surprise (and mine), felt dramatically better within thirty minutes! She has since tried it again with equally impressive results. This is the longest she has gone without any analgesic for quite some time. I have primarily been using the various theta wave settings (caffein, mental refresh, etc) and, while I do seem to feel some affect, have not seen the clearcut benefit she has. Note that she used better quality earphones that I have been, which could also be important.
Based on this, I am upping my four star review to five.

Excellent... and only going to get better!

A very well put together application from a developer who is very open to suggestions and committed to improving his work. The application looks great and works well. Do binaural beats actually work? A lot of research suggests they do. The only way you're going to find out is if you try it for yourself... it might just turn out to be the best $1.99 you've ever spent! Thoroughly recommended. Keep up the good work, Jakub!
