Waste of Money

I expected interactive to-do checklists, daily planner etc. and a ‘personalized’ plan which I never received. Absolutely Nothing helpful in this app, just a list of suggestions to read-all of which can be googled for free or from watching free podcasts. Very disappointing and they don’t offer refunds if the app falls short of your expectations which it clearly did. Very upset that I did not see all the bad reviews from others that also feel ripped off before handing over my hard earned money to this scammy app

Response from developer

We're really sorry to hear that Brainway didn’t meet your expectations. We understand your frustration.

Not very helpful

I found the app to be quite complicated and difficult to use. Also purchased a 7 day trial and was charged for another month before I could cancel. I also can’t find any clear instructions on how to cancel. Not very happy.

Subscription renewed even when the app is removed.

Subscription renewed even when the app is removed. It’s not shown on Apple subscriptions either and you have you email them to cancel anything. I don’t remember the login details to use my last month subscription - and they didn’t seem to care. Very unhelpful. Don’t waste your money or time.

Scam - Journal app

Don’t believe what they advertise. Don’t waste your money

Waste of money

Doesn’t offer anything of any substance - aside from a journal space which you can do without the app and paying money. Uninspired. Especially compared to the competitors which are miles ahead I wish I didn’t waste money on this

Great app

The app has been fantastic and is really helping me boost my motivation. I love the layout of it all. Would recommend

Don’t waste your money!! Should be 0 stars.

Very unsupportive support team. They are taking advantage of their target market. If not purchased through the App Store there is no way of keeping track of your subscription dates or reminder of renewal once purchased. People download this app to combat lack of productivity, feel more focused. It’s no more than a journaling app, you would have thought it would give you the tools to keep track of your plan considering it’s purpose and large sign up amount. When I was notified by my bank of renewal I contacted the support team straight away by email they were not understanding of the situation and did not refund. For app developers marketing to people that often have ADHD and ADD you would have thought they’d be a little more companionate and now I’m out of pocket. They are very sly money grabbers.

Avoid this app - No way to cancel it

Avoid this app at all costs. It continues to charge you without providing a clear way to cancel, and it doesn’t even appear in the App Store subscriptions like other apps. There’s no indication anywhere of an active subscription, making this a sneaky and unacceptable way to take money. Completely unethical!

Scammy subscription

Impossible to cancel subscriptions very expensive for what it is

Charged for a subscription

I just tried the app for a bit and deleted it, but then they charged me £24 for another month, but no where did the website nor app say that this was subscription based or that I would be charged in the future. Very frustrating
