### 2/5 — Not as good as it used to be

*2026-08-26*

Have been using this app for a long time back when I still had an iPod Touch. Used to be good, easy to operate and look up wanted recordings. I have purchased multiple (though with a different account).

Nowadays it is littered with advertising and the search function is counterintuitive, particularly if you do not have experience with the app. Can’t easily navigate through menus or seek through recording. They now force you to subscribe to remove ads etc. so what you purchased a long time ago is obsolette. You can no longer purchase an individual recording for lifetime access.

### 2/5 — Purchasing

*2026-05-23*

I enjoy this app very much. The only thing is that I miss being able to buy individual tones.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind words and support! We’re really happy to hear that you’re enjoying the app and that the sessions have been helpful for you. 😊

We also truly appreciate your feedback about purchasing individual tones. We understand that some users prefer owning specific sessions instead of subscribing, and we’ll be sure to share your suggestion with our product team for future consideration. If there is any other question or suggestion, please feel free to contact us at support@imoblife.net

### 2/5 — Playlist

*2026-05-17, version 6.046*

I really want to give 5 stars. But when you create a playlist, you will be stuck on one program. Email is not available

### 5/5 — Plenty of choices to help change my mindset

*2026-05-11, version 6.046*

The Brainwaves app is awesome way for me to ease my mind.  The various tones of musical instruments, sounds & flow can change the way my feelings are affecting my mood.  Many selections enables me to relax my mind,  breathing, heart rate & anxiety.  I’m sure that there is a tune for you within all the frequencies that might bring you comfort.

### 5/5 — Most spectacular mind calming

*2026-05-10, version 6.046*

I have tried many apps that claim to have binary beats to help reset your brain and your mind and most of them fall short. This one is phenomenal it truly has mastered sound waves that really does affect the way my brain thinks. My mind has so much clarity and when my anxiety is exhilarated I use this app to bring it down to coping levels within 10 min or less! I can’t thank you enough for creating this app! It has changed the way I live for the better. I will always use this app for the rest of my peaceful days as long as it’s available!

Frequency, water sound, and piano. The most beautiful sound and Energy. I felt this deeply.

### 5/5 — Just brain food

*2026-05-02, version 6.046*

It’s amazing we have a long way to go but the power of sound therapy and having tools like this app are a game changer. The relaxation I feel as my left and right hemisphere’s of my brain start to churn together. Brain food ! Thank you
I just became an affiliate!!!

### 5/5 — How my choices affected me

Apparently, there is healing properties in this app. I took a semi lengthy questionnaire but what I heard in return was great!

### 5/5 — Amazing music to my ears

### 1/5 — Don’t buy

*2026-05-31, version 6.0.48*

Don’t waste your money.  I went to listen to 963Hz and got a piano playing.  Seriously?  It’s a joke

### 1/5 — Too many pop ups

*2026-05-29, version 6.0.48*

Everything except 1 item is paid and its terribly difficult to find whats free. It asks you to pay a million times every time you open the app and keeps pushing prompts to try the new paid session thats available. For something thats supposed to help lower stress, this only worsens it.

### 1/5 — Brainwave not working

*2026-05-19, version 6.0.47*

The app was working. Now I have to reset the phone to make a selection work. I have contacted their support and have gotten no response.

### 1/5 — Dishonest, cheated me out of $17 when I did a 3 day trial!!!!

*2026-05-16, version 6.046*

Yep, stay away. I ordered a 3 day trial and they *immediately* charged me $17, the full price! Give me my money back!

### 1/5 — Trying to get questions answered from support.

*2026-04-25, version 6.0.44*

New customer and having trouble getting customer service to respond.

### 1/5 — Unexpected

*2026-04-13, version 6.0.44*

I wanted to cancel the subscription but the app won’t allow me to unsubscribe or email their customer support. It’s a scam

### 1/5 — Money sham

*2026-03-29, version 6.0.42*

I paid 37.00 for 12 mo plus 3 additional mo and when I launched the app all that is there is a bunch of products they want you to buy.

### 1/5 — Joyce

*2026-03-20, version 6.0.41*

Extremely difficult to cancel

### 1/5 — Sound distortion and useless customer support

*2026-02-28, version 6.0.40*

After a few days faint crackling distortion appeared on all tracks but not on other sound apps like YouTube. Closing app and restarting iPhone and closing refresh background and turning off Bluetooth didn’t help (solutions suggested by Chat GPT).

Tried clicking “customer support” in app but very confusing how that works. On putting in message and email and pressing “submit” two boxes appear at bottom of screen - FAQ and email. 

FAQ is useless for sound issues. 

Pressing “email” opens a page saying details of device are needed and are presented automatically at bottom of page. There is a blue upward arrow to presumably send message but my message is not included in this page. So pasted it in.

On pressing the arrow there is no indication or confirmation message is sent. So I cc’d myself. 

Message was sent but after many hours received no acknowledgment of email. For AUD20 a month or $240 a year they need to provide much better technical support particularly in regard to sound issues with the app. 

Eventually got a response from customer service. Customer service agent offered no technical solutions. I requested technical support but no response. App continues to have faint crackling distortion on tracks.

Finally I note no response from Brainwave to this post after several days.

Nice and easy to use.

### 5/5 — Great sounds

*2026-07-09, version 6.0.54*

Great sounds but it’s probably just me. The sleep sounds have not gone well. I usually have a restless night sleeping when I try them. For meditation and focus the sounds are perfect.

### 5/5 — Où sont passés mes achats ? - retrouvés !

*2026-06-02*

Oui je vous remercie pour m’avoir répondu si vite. Tout fonctionne maintenant. Désolée d’avoir réagi aussi brutalement, mais je me suis retrouvée impuissante devant une situation stressante. J’ai remis 5 étoiles parce que j’apprécie l’application, mais également le support efficace. 
————————————————
j’ai acheté Brainwaves il y a quelques années mais je ne peux pas utiliser les sessions que j'ai achetées, (avant que ça ne passe en abonnement) je n'existe plus apparemment et on me demande de créer un compte. Je ne parvient pas à envoyer un message à l'assistance (bug, l'écran freeze) . Comment faire pour récupérer mes achats ?

**Developer response:** Cher utilisateur,

Merci beaucoup pour votre avis.

Je suis sincèrement désolé pour les désagréments occasionnés. Je pense avoir bien reçu votre e-mail concernant ce problème et je vous y ai répondu. Vos achats sont liés à votre compte Brainwaves ; vous pouvez y accéder en vous connectant à l'application via Apple.
