## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Volume jacked

*2022-09-29, version 3.0.1*

You can’t adjust volume. They have presets and they are loud. Volume 1 is like 3 or 4.

### 1/5 — Does not sync to AirPods

*2022-02-19, version 3.0.1*

Garbage app. No settings

### 1/5 — Won’t work on your headphones

*2022-01-17, version 3.0.1*

App use to be good, but now won’t play through headphone which kind of defeats the purpose.

### 2/5 — Can not listen on headphones.

*2022-10-23, version 3.0.1*

I like that this app is truly free and doesn’t make me purchase anything. I will watch ads. That is not a problem, but I do have a problem with this app not connecting with my Bluetooth headsets. It will connect when an ad is on, but once it goes back to the music, then it’s only on the phone speakers.

### 2/5 — Not compatible with AirPods

*2022-04-05, version 3.0.1*

Doesn't work with air pods for whatever reason it defaults to phone speaker every time. I tried other apps (YouTube/Spotify/IG) to tat sound come back to this and auto disconnects from airpod pro every single time

### 2/5 — Wont work on headphones

*2022-01-04, version 3.0.1*

I would really like the way this app works if I could only use my headphones. Will not play through them. All other apps work fine with them.

### 2/5 — So hard to use!

*2021-05-17, version 1.0*

This was a horrible app.  I deleted it yesterday because it is entirely up to the user to figure out how to best use it. Moving between brain waves relief on minuscule + - .  It was slow, unresponsive and for a relaxing app it created too much stress!

### 2/5 — Cuts off.

*2020-01-09, version 1.0*

Wh

### 3/5 — App not working with AirPods

*2022-04-02, version 3.0.1*

Maybe I am doing something wrong, however the audio fails the come through AirPods.

### 4/5 — Headphones won’t work anymore

*2021-08-24, version 3.0.1*

Love the app. But now headphones don’t work I tried both AirPods and beats neither worked

## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Absolutely customizable

*2020-10-28, version 1.0*

Veryyyy good , like this

### 5/5 — Great except for

*2019-11-18*

Great ap pity it switches off when phone auto locks have to result in setting phone to auto lock never when using the ap. A bit frustrating

### 5/5 — Excellent binaural beat app

*2019-04-29, version 1.0*

Out of about ten binaural beat apps, this is my current favorite. 

Current setting:  400Hz Theta 5Hz

I listen up to two hours when going to sleep and 5-30 minutes during the day. It refreshes my mind like nothing else.

### 4/5 — Great app, small glitch

*2021-05-10, version 1.0*

It’s a great app, but for some reason it is inconsistent about playing in the background. Sometimes it plays just fine with the screen locked, other times it won’t. 

Really would get more out of it if it played in the background more often.

### 4/5 — Good

*2020-07-09, version 1.0*

I like the app! it’s great!

### 4/5 — Great app

*2020-01-19*

Excellent for my needs. Quite easy to use except takes a long time to change base tone to 640Hz. Suggestions:  Please have the timer actually stop the app!!!!! This is very important for me and is one of the reasons I sometimes use another app instead, even though I find your app more effective. Can you change the increments to adjust base tone be allowed to be set at 639Hz? Is it possible to list suggestions to base tone settings as well? Or other resources one can use to set app settings? Can you confirm that I don’t have to turn on the binaural beats generator and can merely use the app as a noise generator? If so, that is a bonus! Thanks.
