Exactly what I was looking for
This is basically perfect. Wanted a binaural beats app with music. Other free apps only had the beats (no music), and the beats+music apps were all freemium with limited free options and too many ads and pop ups.
The only suggestion I have for improvement is that the phone doesn’t seem to recognize the app as an audio app. So I can’t pause and play from phone’s Lock Screen or in the widget, I have to go into the app. For example, when a podcast is playing and the screen is off, I can pause and play the podcast from the Lock Screen. For some reason that’s not the case with Flow State. But that’s my only suggestion and seems like a straightforward technical fix.

Text irritant
Concept is neat. Several texts a day spamming is not. Don’t install if you are trying to focus on actual work! Uninstalled and phone blocked the app to stop texts from breaking my work concentration. I’d be ok with email adverts but abusing my time by texting my cell is not ok.
I wish I knew about this sooner!
This app has completely changed the way I sleep. I have high anxiety and my stress seems to always manifest in the form of bad dreams. I would toss and turn nonstop, clench my jaw, and wake up several times during the night. Not anymore! I started using this app and listening to the sleep setting all night (I know that’s not what you are meant to do, but I fall asleep so fast I forget to take my headphones off.) I never thought I would be able to shut off my stress dreams, but this app made that possible and I am so thankful!

It works! I don’t know why I’m surprised
I have a job that requires focus for analytics of financial statements, cash flow modeling, and writing. After 20 years of this, it can be hard to find motivation and focus but I tried this app and wow, for 3 hours straight I got more work done than usual and the time went by quickly. I’m a believer in sound therapy and have used it often in the past for meditation; this levels sound therapy up by a lot. Thankful I have watched The Challenge and have Wes as a fave, who I found this app through his Instagram posts. Try it...it won’t hurt you to just try it out for yourself.

Music is too techy
I was hoping for some ethereal style music that helps you focus, but this is all just techy sounds and is often more distracting or just annoying. I’ll stick to classical and video game tracks, I guess...
Induced a state alright
I wasn’t sure whether to make this a 5 star raving review or a 1 star warning, and I’ll tell you why. My first time using this app I threw on my over ear headphones, set the sound to Sleep (mood), Wave (tone), Weightless (vibe) and laid down to rest. I slept like a baby. I don’t mean metaphorically. I mean I was so out I woke up in the morning having peed myself thoroughly, for the first time in my adult life. I’m not saying this app will do this to you, I’m saying it would be a really crazy coincidence if it wasn’t related.
Next, I plan on trying the rest of the settings and am now prepared for what might occur:
Study - I’ll complete the remaining 12 courses in my Masters degree in 18 hours
Flow State - Nope, I don’t dare.
Peak Awareness - finally living my dreams as spider man with newfound spidy senses!
and finally Relax - where I will probably nap until Wednesday, 2022
If I ever try Sleep again I’ll make sure I’m wearing an adult diaper next time.

Highly Recommend
I work from home and get a couple hours in early in the morning- like 5 am. I pretty much sit up, grab my computer and get to work from my bed. I’m sure you can understand how easily distracted I can get. This app has been a game changer for my focus! My productivity has been through the roof since I started using it this past week! Such a great app!!

Unable to reset my password
I really enjoyed the app until I was logged out and have not been allowed to reset my password. I know this doesn’t seem like a big deal but for someone as technology challenged as me, it can be.
Recent update created issues
I loved this app but with the most recent update, the sound turns off the second my screen goes black or when I open another app (i.e. email).
Awesome!
This is amazing and really has upped the quality of my life!!
skeptic turned believer
i just started using this app and i love it!! i have a hard time focusing and working from home especially since the pandemic. i am very easily distracted and was starting to get really frustrated with myself so i decided to try this app. i was skeptical that this app would help but i’ve noticed a huge improvement in my productivity. work flows by so quickly and it makes me excited to do my job. thank you!!

Love this app!!!
So I don’t sleep well and my mind constantly races all through my he night . So I sleep with my iPad with any random show just to have background noise but I wake up all through the night . I decided to give this a try and could not believe how much better my night sleeping was. Truly amazing!!!!
Not disappointed!
I’m no stranger to sleep deprivation and anxious thoughts so I thought I’d give this app a try. I tried it for the first time before taking a nap. The beats put me in a tranquil mode quick. I was on Pulse/Activate. These tones had me feeling serene and relaxed. I felt like I was in a zen state. 199mins later I’m a satisfied user 👍🏽

YES
Downloaded this app 3 days ago at 2 a.m due to me not being able to sleep... and my sleeping pattern has changed TREMENDOUSLY. I love this app & I’ll swear by it from now on. THANK YOU WES 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Simply AMAZING
I am hooked ever since it launched! From sounds for when I hace to focus on work, to just before going to sleep, it is just perfect. A great alternative (and so far, much more effective) to the playlists I already have on a loop on other apps.
A game-changer for productivity!
I can’t believe how much this app helps with productivity during the work day! Flow State helps me get so much more done than I can with traditional music or podcasts on in the background- thanks for helping those of us with busy lifestyles stay plugged in to productivity!
Amazingly relaxing
This app is so simple to use and it for sure works. Give it a try if you have anxiety like me. It can’t hurt and if you’re like me you tried everything.
Exactly what I was looking for
Highly recommended! I prefer this to simple ocean sounds via Calm app. After 2 days of use, I do feel like this has helped me stay focused while reviewing boring work documents. Took a few minutes to find the tones I liked but I quickly fell into the zone.
Great app just needs timer setting
I love ambient sounds/music to help get me through the day. This app is perfect for that EXCEPT for trying to use it for sleep. I suggest adding a sleep timer so that your phone isn’t running the whole night. That’s my only reason for 4 out of 5 stars
I NEEDED THIS
Wes, been following you since the Real World days, and this is so truly amazing! Great work and love this so far! -Micayla :)
