### 5/5 — The BEST THERE IS, simply perfect!

*2014-05-07, version 3.0.1*

The BEST THERE IS, simply perfect!

The only thing I could ask for is the addition of the full spectrum of frequencies with quick sets like they have now. Technically you can dial most all of them in yourself (delta, theta, alpha, mu, beta*, gamma, **hyper gamma, **lambda and **epsilon (*partial beta (to 34hz) and ** frequencies not available as far as I can tell) ) I am in no way an expert, but it would be nice to have all ranges of frequencies available. From what I can tell you can't program it to change from one freq to another and to another. But in general it's the best for everything it has to offer !!!

### 4/5 — It is a great foundation.

*2014-03-22, version 3.0.1*

I appreciate this app and how it has benefitted my personal growth. I feel that this app could use some additional functions but thus far it is working without glitches. I would love to see the ability to make adjustments to the inception voice recordings, such as pitch shifting and reverb. I also would like the ability to import files or use external files for inception and different music for 'places'. It is a good app, perhaps you can incorporate some of the Monroe institute' hemi-sync for personal growth and maybe some shad helmstetter. Thank you for the app and considering my requests.

### 5/5 — actual gen, along with opticals

*2014-02-14, version 3.0.1*

bug report: changing settings (sleep/meditate/maintain) does not work once youve already made a selectiom.

a great feature would be able to specify the starting, target AND end frequencies. I want to reach a theta frequency, and come out high alpha, for example.

previous review: if I set my ipad to full brightness, create my own program, and close the curtains, it makes for a fantastic hypnogogic experience. Bought it when it was still $10, I really hope the devs continue working on it. 

A feature that I would love is to create a graph of my program, not just starting and target frequency.

### 5/5 — Best App for astral travel, meditation, and Lucid Dreaming

*2014-01-02, version 3.0.1*

At 4hz I am having so many experiences in theta. This is the best customized app for brainwave entrainment. I recommend this app to anyone that wants to get to the next level in life.

### 5/5 — Simply the best app to play and design your own sleep system.

*2013-12-11, version 3.0.1*

I don't know why there aren't more reviews.  I purchased this app when it first came out on my 3G iPhone years ago. It was great then and has only gotten better. 

You can also add your own affirmations - or even prayers, in my case. Mix to your tastes. 

There's nothing that puts me in a state of relaxation or gets me to sleep better than this app. Many thanks to Dataca! (And I Do Not have any association with the company or employees)

### 4/5 — Great Entrainment App! - Almost Perfect

*2013-11-22, version 3.0.1*

I love this App! I really like when developers take the time to design a beautiful UI for their applications. Form is just as important as function! Attractor looks great and works really well as a binaural beat generator and sound mixer. There are a few things I’d like to see improved and feel would make this The Perfect Entrainment/Meditation/NLP or Hypnosis App!

First, there is one major flaw: It is essential for ‘Location’ and ‘Inception' audio files to be seamlessly looped! I’ve created some continuous ambient loops and uploaded them to the app, however, there is always a split second gap when looping; which is very disruptive to any meditation or entrainment session. Please fix this!

Changes/Additions I’d like to experience in the future:

1) It would be nice to be able to choose the base (left ear or center position) tonal/pitch frequency for the binaural beat and/or have a selection of known/researched frequencies (chakras, solfeggio tones, etc.). 

2) Finer control over the ‘Start' & ‘Target' binaural beat frequency by adding a decimal (i.e. 7.83Hz Schumann Resonance).

3) The addition of a fourth track containing isochronic tones to match (enhance)  or counterpoint the binaural frequency.

4) A timeline feature with per track variable volume envelopes and the ability to change the binaural beat base tone and rhythmic frequency over time.

4) A purely cosmetic and semantic renaming of ‘Location’ to something such as ‘Ambience’ since it can likely be something other than a physical location.

Keep up the great work!

### 5/5 — This is awesome!

*2013-05-14, version 2.2.2*

The desert music loop is the only one that doesn't stutter, but you din't even need music; just the binaural you set and the affirmation. Very versatile and you can really dial in something perfect... Only took about 5 minutes of experimenting to figure out. HINT: when trying to figure out what theta frequencies are, just open the one that says "theta" in the title and copy those (it is 5.5 hz if I recall correctly)

### 5/5 — Binaural

*2012-09-11, version 2.2.2*

I have every binaural app in the store.... They mostly teach you what you should be feeling when you learn this you can reach them ten times faster through regular meditation. The apps will only hold you back after a time. THIS IS THE  HOW it's supposed to be done. Wave generation. You want to bring yourself down or up to your target Hz through progression. It's true that you can listen to a steady wave and eventually sync.... This is how it's supposed to be done.  Kudos.  Got this years ago. Isochronic  is great but if you want binaural don't go anywhere else.

### 5/5 — A fine audio mixer

*2012-04-28, version 2.2.2*

It's basically a three-track mixer with a binaural track, a track for recording/importing and playing back subliminal messages, and a track for any other content that you please. (The file server works well.) Version 2 has been a drastic improvement over version 1, and I've been using it for meditative daydreaming, almost every day for two years.  I'd suggest some tweaks - the help screen should be iPhone-friendly (it's NOT), and it's time for an isochronic version that wouldn't require headphones - but it's fundamentally a great and versatile app for compiling your own customized binaural experiences. Nothing else like it in the App Store!

### 5/5 — Best app for metaphysical

*2012-04-02, version 2.2.2*

To the wonderful group who made this app possible ( government, private sector or any three lettered group) this app is amazing for all of these below I have included their frequencies

4.00 - ESP, astral projection, psychic abilities, "mystical truths"
4.50 - Shamanic state of consciousness and Tibetan Buddhist chants 
5.50 - Inner Guidance, intuition, heat generation
7.83 - Schumann resonance, grounding, rejuvenation
 9.00 - Correction of body imbalances 
10.5 - Frequency for healing of body, mind/body unity 
12.0 - Centering, mental stability 
14.0 - Schumann resonance
16.4 - Spirit, liberation, transcendence
33.0 - Christ consciousness and pyramid frequency. 
35.0 - Awakening of mid-chakras, balance of chakras
38.0 - Endorphin release
39.0 - Schumann resonance
40.0 - Astral projection

This app stimulates the part if the brain responsible for frequency vibration.  IT REALLY WORKS FOR NONBELIEVERS. 

What I'm now asking for is if you guys can give me the frequencies for Psychokinesis and Telepathy

Thanks much love, 

Phoenix

PS- keep up the great work!!!

### 5/5 — Listen to it every night

*2012-02-28, version 2.2.2*

I've bought almost every program out there and currently have a collection of about 10 and this is the only one I listen to all night long, I set it to 1hz and have amazing dreams every night lasting longer than anything that I've experienced. Worth every dollar, professionally crafted to perfection.

### 4/5 — Works really well on a 4S

*2012-01-17, version 2.2.2*

Could not really get it to work on my 3G or 3GS but it sings on the 4s. All features work as described, smoothly and swiftly.  These guys know what they are doing! And since it does work WITHOUT a headset, it must have a pulsed tone, not just binaural.  I am building a similar app through my NeuroAdvantage company, called MyMynd, which has different points of emphasis, and I know these folks have done a credible job---it's not as easy as it may look!!!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Unusable on current hardware and software

*2022-12-14, version 3.0.6*

I'm using an iPhone 13 Pro on iOS 16.1.2 and I am unable to use this app. Please update it so that it works. Thank you very much.

### 1/5 — So Hopeful

*2020-03-10, version 3.0.4*

Good interface and good binaural control.  But the inception mode is broken.  Background noise broken.  Fix the app and it could be the absolute best in the category.

### 1/5 — Inception no longer works

*2016-09-22, version 3.0.1*

The inception function stopped working. This used to be a 5 star app for me. I tried to contact the developer on this matter but their mailbox is full. I'm guessing that they have abandoned this app as it has not been updated in quite awhile. I hope this review gets their attention as I will change it to 5 stars if they fix this problem. For now, I'm looking at other similar apps. What a shame!!!

**Developer response:** The inception function in the current version is fully functional, send us a support email if you have any issues. An updated version of Attractor is also in development and will be out soon. We appreciate your continued interest and use of Attractor.

### 1/5 — HELP US DEVELOPERS!!!

*2009-12-15, version 0*

I want to love this app, but at this point I just want to use this app. The guide and instructions (or lack of) ARE TERRIBLE!!! The very intricate detailed screens that are supposed to provide instruction are too small to read with the naked eye and can not be enlarged. And the absolute void of customer support is just frustrating. I've had this app for a year and I've done everything I can think of to try to understand how to use this- I've emailed- I've gone to the website. NO ONE EVER RESPONDS TO ANYTHING! Read these reviews - they're great from the fortunate people who've figured out use it (& still many of those express my same difficulties) and the rest of us just want some help. It's a shame so much hard work went into making this a good app for the developers to just drop the ball when explaining how to use it.

### 2/5 — Room for improvement...

*2021-01-17, version 3.0.6*

The app has a potential. But: 1 - the strobe mode has a persistent banner with the warning sign; 2 - sound library could be richer than just two sounds; 3 - and more importantly, it lacks signal modulation (wave parameters: height, length, phase, waveform-sine,square, triangle, sawtooth, or just a note), so you could have a preferred sound.

### 2/5 — Set backs since purchase.

*2019-02-17, version 3.0.4*

The app was great when I first purchased it for a truly binaural experience. The frequency range was up to 40 or 50Hz. Now only to 34Hz, sadly. The inception playback no longer works. I could independently control the volume when using other apps, that is also becoming problematic. I really enjoyed using the app. The app is being updated but losing it’s functionality. I payed for this app, and removal of the features is rather poor customer support. Hopefully the next update includes the previous removed settings and then adds a more user friendly interface, not overly simplistic either. Would like to continue using the app, will probably have to look elsewhere for a new functional binaural app. Thanks again.

### 3/5 — Abandonware? Support?

*2012-05-27, version 2.2.2*

This would be at least a 4 star app, but it has some obvious bugs and hasn't been updated in quite a while.

- There's a problem with the "location" background sound (rain, etc). It seems that when the loop is over it cuts out for a half a second before restarting. This is a little jarring to me. Maybe it's iPhone 4S specific or something but it's happening on my phone. I end up working around this problem by using other apps for the background sound.

- I often have trouble with the inception track not playing. Restarting the app usually fixes it.

I sent email to support about these problems but didn't get any response.

Other than these bugs, the app is better than others I've seen. It's actually customizable instead of just having a few preset frequencies.

### 3/5 — Allow Custom Audio Integration (Not Just Recordings)

*2010-02-18, version 0*

Suggestions for Version 2:

Either allow support of the built in music player over the top of binaural audio, or integrate a custom audio picker that imports audio tracks (mp3, m4a, m4b, wav, etc) and plays them in a loop or optionally a certain number of times).

Multiple recordings and audio tracks would be even better! Allow mixing of the recordings and the audio tracks, and allow scheduling of the various audio tracks and recordings to play at specific times on the timeline. 

Also want more than two transition points, e.g. starting point frequency, ending point frequency and one or more custom point frequencies, such as a specific frequency at 20 minutes in, 30 minutes in and 80 minutes in.

### 4/5 — Best binaural app.

*2017-07-09, version 3.0.1*

Yup, it works; yes, it's better than other apps of it's kind.
No updates like in 10 years and still I don't think the app is perfect. Anyway I recommend it to help you fall sleep. 
It works. Unless you just had a cup of coffee.

### 4/5 — Attractor work!!!

*2014-12-04, version 3.0.1*

Attractor is good mind app!Only use for insomnia and tinnitus.I think is the best relax mind mashine for my brain.

### 5/5 — Over a decade-18 hrs a day

*2021-10-10, version 3.0.6*

I have used this about 18 hrs a day for over a decade to hypnotize my self to become a great hypnotist & teacher. You can say I’ve created my own psychosis to become the best I can be to help others and truly there is no better tool then attractor and I have used this a lot. ) I love this app!!!! Please always be here!

### 5/5 — This application is very good.

*2021-03-06, version 3.0.6*

I love this app and have had it for several years like some others have. I love the the layout and the ability to load your own files into the player. Great for hypnosis and relaxation. This was one of the first binaural beat apps I ever bought back on iPhone 4. If were to ask the developers to improve something it might be to be able to make the inception file time to be programable as far as when it starts. 20% is sometimes too long of a time to wait. The possibilities are tremendous for lucid dreaming again with the time delays in place, you could implant good suggestions at the proper time... thank you for a great experience!

### 5/5 — Doesn’t get any better than this!

*2021-02-09, version 3.0.6*

I have owned this app since the beginning, maybe 10 years or so. The interface is absolutely beautiful. The program works perfectly with many options. I can’t believe it’s still available on my 12 Max Pro! I think I first bought this on my iPhone 3 or 4. Simply amazing

### 5/5 — My go-to

*2020-02-27, version 3.0.4*

My go-to hypnosis app for the past 5 years!  Love it!!

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2020-01-17, version 3.0.4*

It’s a life changing app. I use it mainly for visualization and creating new habits. Nothing compares to it.

### 5/5 — Best app of it's kind

*2019-09-30, version 3.0.4*

BAOIK

### 5/5 — Try it!

*2019-05-31, version 3.0.4*

Whoa, it really does work. 

Maybe it won't change your life as some have experienced, but it really helps calm me down when I'm stressed, focus when I need to work, and get me to sleep well if I'm restless.

### 5/5 — The best

*2017-11-14, version 3.0.4*

Just wanted to thank you for updating to iOS 11. My go-to for focused work audio. Laced this with a few loops made out of Fistful of Buddha album (by Christiaan Virant) as Locations, and am able to get into and stay in the state of flow way better when working on a demanding project.  Thank you!

### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed

*2017-04-02, version 3.0.1*

Using positive affirmations or statements is a proven technique for activation of any skill or other learning one may attempt. THIS baby has it over anything I have ccome across.
Simple, economical and truly user friendly. 
Don't let your own self talk keep you from what you love to do. Tennis anyone? 🤗

### 5/5 — Great app

*2014-07-01, version 3.0.1*

Love the app hope the dev keeps on with it. 
One thing I had to follow a link to get it? It wound not show up when I typed its name or info for this kind. Don't know if this is a apple thing!
