It’s just music.
I see nothing special about this app. It sounds just like every other lo-fi or easy listening or “focus music” on Spotify or YouTube easy to find.
Changing lives
This app has been a God send! At first I was hesitant to continue to pay for the app but with anything in life, it takes time to see the fruit of your labor. So if you are looking for an app that will help you focus, this is the app for you.
My essentials.
My entire life, I’ve seen to struggle with deep focus on specific tasks. This app has been a great tool in sharpening my focus and setting timelines for tasks!
Great
This app definitely helps me maintain focus.
It honestly might just be a placebo (I know there’s “science” behind it but idk), but regardless it works well for me. It always has; I used to look for those YouTube videos with various frequencies.
The app itself is well designed and I use it frequently for both productivity and sleep. Try the free trial at the very least to see.

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!

Not helpful
I am not sure where the apparent research on the usefulness of this app comes from, but I found the music to be way more distracting than helpful while I study. I have ADHD, and did include this in my profile, and this was just disappointing.
Amazing app
I use this every night to fall asleep and I’m during the day when I want to lock in.
Ridiculously priced
Expensive and playing on people’s suffering to sell their wares. A created focus can be made for free on other streaming sites and you can pay to bin the adverts. They however don’t put a bow on it to say it helps you focus!
Crashes on launch
Can’t use this app I paid for, as crashes the moment I open it. Still waiting for a fix and been waiting at least a year to use the app
This app is awesome !
The UI is absolutely gorgeous—huge shoutout to the devs, you really outdid yourselves! And the focus music/audio? I’m left completely speechless. It works so well.
Wonderful to match the task
When I want background music (with no lyrics) that will enhance the atmosphere of what I’m doing, from focused work to light tasks to a gathering of friends. This goes beyond mere binaural beats to actually provide real music developed by both scientists and artists
School and chill
Been a great app helping motivate and ground me through nursing school. Thanks!
99$ and what??
I have paid 99$ for one year. And NOTHING. Your app still proposing to me to buy subscription again 😡
No trial without subscription
This app does not allow you to try it out without subscribing. Many people prefer not to subscribe before testing it first. Consider offering a one- or two-day trial period before requiring a commitment, especially since sometimes we might forget to cancel if we don’t find the service useful.
It delivers
The app delivers, but it can get a bit wonky with audio stability, especially at the highest neural effect level—you'll notice some turbulent buffeting and fluctuating pressure that makes the playback feel wobbly. Another thing: the app sometimes just stops and makes the song disappear from the iOS player and forces you to restart it from within the app.

It really works!
I work in a noisy office, and this app avails me an oasis of serenity.
