### 4/5 — Great

*2019-01-02*

Love the app but can’t play the games on my iPhone

### 5/5 — Good but fix this!

*2018-09-14*

First off the app is amazing and provides real time data and eeg biofeedback. I love this app and I’m very thankful for it!! I am not able to play the mini games function on my apple devices tho? The Visualizer works but not the float or burn mini games that are on the app. Anyways great job and amazing app.

### 5/5 — Music does not work on IOS

*2017-04-16*

My friends app plays music when he mediates on Android. Can you publish your source code so we can implement music for IOS (or kindly implement this yourself?)

### 4/5 — NeuroSky has some neat screens, and free development tools.

*2017-04-15*

Resetting the Bluetooth connection allows re-pairing with iPad Air. While Muse is more ergonomic, NeuroSky has some neat display options, and free development tools. Apple Store warning about Mindwave not being compatible in future iOS releases is a concern.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2015-08-10*

So useless,stupid,my brain activity shows 0,how come am I still alive?

### 1/5 — Doesn't work on iPad 2.

*2015-04-10*

Doesn't work.

### 5/5 — Absolutely Amazing

*2014-10-06*

I have just had the opportunity to try this out and all I can say is awesome! I have wanted something like this for so long. It's amazing. It is real time. It would improve the experience if you already have some basic knowledge of the types of brainwaves and their associated states of awareness, but I highly recommend this product to everyone.

### 4/5 — Pretty as well as interesting

*2014-08-28*

I have found this app quite fascinating, and it is interesting to see to what extent I can control it. The reason for only four stars is simply that it takes so long to get going; it says on the screen that setting up will take several seconds, in reality be prepared for a 2 minute wait!

### 3/5 — Needs one option to make it useful

*2014-04-04*

The graphics are great and I love the mobility an ipad version provides. However, to make this a useful tool it needs a switch to freeze the auto gain adjustment. Once I have a solid connection, I want to be able to see the changes in amplitude without the software constantly changing them.

### 1/5 — What?

*2014-02-09*

I don't get how it works.. It doesn't seem to do anything
