## What is Binaural Beats?

Please refer to this description below 
"The 5 types of brainwaves
Now here’s where it gets fun: Brainwaves are grouped into five distinct categories, each of which is associated with a very specific type of task and mental state.

The most high-frequency—and, some may say, high-vibe—of the bunch are gamma waves. “Gamma waves are often associated with insight, peak focus, and expanded consciousness,” says Winters. “These waves are generated when the brain is learning new information, sharply concentrating, or storing memories.” She adds that this “hyper-focused, tranquil attention” is characteristic of Zen meditators and master musicians.

A step down are beta waves, which is what most of us experience most of the time in our always-on society. “Their upside is that they allow us to concentrate hard on tasks at hand—and they’re critical when we read, write, and socialize,” says Winters. (It’s the frequency of the hustle, basically.) “The downside of beta waves is that they can zap our energy and reduce emotional awareness and creativity.”

Once we get home at the end of the day, if we’re lucky, we shift into a relaxed, reflective alpha wave pattern. “If you daydream, wind down for bed, or sit down with a good book, your brain is likely in an alpha state,” says Winters. On the other hand, if your brain has trouble shifting from beta to alpha—a stress-induced phenomenon called “alpha blocking”—you could suffer from insomnia, anxiety, or obsessive-compulsive symptoms, says Winters.

Finally, once you fall asleep, you experience theta waves (the ones associated with dreaming) and delta waves (which promote deep, restorative, dreamless slumber.) Interestingly, theta waves are also linked with being in that elusive, hypnotic flow state associated with peak performance, as well as the autopilot mode we shift into when we’re doing something we’ve done a million times before, like driving home from work on a familiar route. “[People can] have flashes of insight or bursts of creativity when in these flow states because their behaviors are often so automatic that they can mentally disengage and just be,” explains Winters. So that explains why I have all my best ideas in the shower… "

### 5/5 — Great app for sleep or concentration

*2025-09-16*

I’ve been using this app daily for two years. The sound helps turn my brain off so I sleep better. I also use it to focus.

### 4/5 — Plein de pubs

*2025-06-17, version 1.6*

Impossible d’utiliser il y a trop de publicités. Vraiment décevant car il m’avait été recommandé par ma thérapeute.

### 5/5 — Very Calming

*2025-05-08*

Have been using app a couple of months for 60 minutes every day as I go about my business. 

I listen with both ears “PLUGGED IN”, and have noticed a definite improvement in my short-term memory. and peace of mind!!

Good

### 5/5 — Well worth the cost, but…..

*2024-05-25*

Got this app after seeing it after search of brain wave apps.  My initial check of it shows that the effects of the Delta hs helped my sleep.  Others I guessing need to be used over a period of time to show any benefit.  All in all, I’d recommend the app vut I would not waste money on the add free version.  I paid for it and still get ads. Will have to they aren’t anything but a mild annoyance, but when I pay for ad free, I expect ad free.  App is worth the five stars even with that, though I toyed with only giving four stars because of it.

### 1/5 — In App Purchsses

*2024-05-19*

Like the app a great deal, however the adds are annoying.  App offers an in app purchase option to get rid of them, but you can’t access it.  So will be deleting it.

### 5/5 — Thank you for this useful app no hassle.(:

*2024-04-12*

Easy to use, without it bothering me with money or advertising. New favorite.

### 4/5 — One word

*2024-03-09*

Perfect for each moment.
