Best sounds

Better than Spotify because it actually does something in your life

Helpful but app needs refinement

The two things that keep me at a 3-star review are:
Not being able to exclude all tracks with a specific meta data tag. I’ve discovered songs with “textural soundscape” tag are like nails on a chalkboard to me. There should be a way for me to exclude these tagged songs “categorically” instead of one by one.
Requiring a $70 subscription. I understand there was research put in and effort to develop the app. It’s right at my tipping point for signing up in the first place. What’s kept me here are the nights I can’t sleep. I put on deep sleep and I’m out cold.

I do find the music used in the app to be genuinely helpful. If you need help focusing on work, or have trouble sleeping, this has helped me with both of these.

Spam mail

I didn’t agree to a free trial of the app and deleted it before getting to explore options. Now I’m constantly hit with spam mail from Brain.com that won’t honor any unsubscribe requests.

Optimal performance

Absolutely necessary for fundamental efficiency thank you

A Game Changer for Studying

I honestly didn’t expect Brain.fm to make such a big difference for me. I usually study at night, and I would often find myself falling asleep while reading or studying. Since I started using Brain.fm, that hasn’t been an issue anymore.

I don’t know exactly how the science behind it works, but somehow it really helps me stay focused and engage. As a musician, I also really appreciate the music the music selection and how thoughtfully the sounds are designed.

For me, it has become one of those tools I didn’t know I needed it until I try it. Definitely worth giving it a shot if you struggle with focus or staying awake while studying!
