## What is CoffeeAM?

If you think staying focused during study or work is often hard and frustrating, you can improve your mental focus instantly with CoffeeAM so that you can get more things done!

A good coffee shop like Starbucks is always a great place for a creative mind like you are. It’s where you can get away from all those distractions of your home or office. It’s also the place where you go to get your works done with focus and creativity. Beside the effect of caffeine, another part of the magic, surprisingly, is the background noise.

There is something interesting about the real world chatter sounds: when the human brain perceives a sound it considers to be speech, it cannot help but to be drawn to it and try to turn it into meaningful languages. This often happens in environments like the open space offices, which is really bad for mental concentration and creativity. This is why it is usually frustrating when you try to focus on your tasks, but your brain keeps being distracted because it keeps processing the speech in the background, interrupting you as soon as some intelligible speech has been decoded.

According to a scientific research from University of Chicago, ”A moderate level of ambient noise is conducive to creative cognition”, the solution is to find a way to have background noise, such as the chatter and clatter noise you usually found in a coffee shop, which is similar to the sound of human speech but without any discernible words. It will help you stay focused and get your creative juices flowing. 

So this is why and how we developed CoffeeAM. To make the best use of the app, what you do is to put your headphones on and turn the volume high enough to mask the real word distracting noises such as office chatter or nearby conversations. After a few minutes, your brain will calm down and be able to stay focused for a long period of time without distractions, then, you can finally get your works done!


Features and benefits:
• The app Includes 11 different sound tracks to keep your ear fresh.
• You can mix the background noises with your favorite music, make your feel like listening music in a real coffee shop.
• No internet required, you can use it at anytime and anywhere.
• No annoy advertisements, so you will have a peaceful UI.

For price cheaper than a cup of coffee, now you can stay focused instantly by one simple click!

### 5/5 — Great white noise for focus!

*2022-11-20*

I had another app that became no longer available but with far fewer options than this one. I am a writer and the sounds help to drown out distractions.

### 1/5 — Automatically subscribed to pay when downloading the app

*2021-11-13, version 1.6*

I haven’t got any notice or information about the automatic subscription when downloading this app. But after a month it charged USD 3 to use the app. I do not recommend this app because this lack of transparency.

### 5/5 — Helpful!

*2021-09-14*

A great way for me to feel like I’m actually inside a cafe, although it lacks a bit of customizability it makes up for with different type of cafe places. All in all would recommend for studying and it works with Spotify!

### 2/5 — Shame

*2021-02-06*

Shame the cycle
On this is so short. I found myself
Getting distracted and drawn into the conversations I could make out that kept repeating.

### 4/5 — Good variety

*2020-10-15*

Has more choices than similar apps; only downside is it’s tendency to randomly turn itself on several seconds after being turned off, requiring the user to close the entire app by swiping.

### 1/5 — Purchases not loading

*2018-09-07*

I’ve purchased the extension but it’s not loading. I’ve contacts the developer but they are not responding. 

At best a waste of time; at worst a scam. Avoid.

**Developer response:** Hi,  it is caused by some network connection problem from Apple. Please try update the app, and the extra tracks should be all unlocked. Thanks for choose CoffeeAM.

### 5/5 — Not iPad compatible

*2017-07-26*

I VERY like the idea of collecting coffeeshop atmospheres around the world, which prompted me to purchase the complete version. However, later on I found it doesn't offer iPad app. Hope this can be compatible with iPad so I don't need to switch my Bluetooth headphone between two devices during my work.

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for the comment, and we are happy that you like the app. we will keep your suggestion in mind and consider to upgrade the app to be iPad compatible in the future.

### 1/5 — It's recorded in Korea, not Italy.

*2016-10-20, version 1.0.2*

You can hear the korean conversation very clearly from the sounds the developer recorded it in Italy. What happens?
