It’s helps me find and strengthen the coherence state and flow too. I'd like to give it five stars and would do so if it didn't lose the contact between sensors and skin now and then and if it were more sturdy. I’d like to see them add a way to check contact with the skin as that would help keep the signal strong. ### 3/5 — Flow time app *2025-06-02, version 5.0.6* Needs more explanation, needs more online demos on platforms like YouTube etc ### 3/5 — Needs improvements *2025-03-11, version 5.0.5* The app could benefit from input from an experienced UI designer. The charts are not colorblind / color vision deficient accessible. To make the charts accessible they need to labeled with the brain wave type. Also noted typos in the interface “We will not sold your data”. ### 3/5 — Not so great if you have curly hair *2024-03-27, version 4.6.6* I find this device frustrating, I have fine, curly hair that is short and so difficult to pull back. This headband pulls out my hair every time I wear it. It also is difficult to get a signal, the plastic band meant to secure the connection pops out constantly (I’m very petite so need the medium band with a knot in it). The plastic in the band also sticks to my hair and pulls it out. It then is difficult for me to get a good connection - by the time I get it working I’m so frustrated there’s no way I’m getting into alpha nonetheless theta. Further, I have training in Neurofeedback and I wonder how accurate these brainwave measurements are. It’s protagonists enough for home use, but I plan on comparing with my own Neurofeedback sensors. I’m curious which sensors are the ground and the reference. I only use the silent meditation and the resonant breathing, and haven’t paid for the full service at this point. I haven’t found the guided meditations helpful at this juncture- maybe in the future. If I still use it. All that said I do find the data interesting, and if it’s accurate enough it can be useful. ### 3/5 — Newest release *2023-12-29, version 4.6.0* Seems much poorer than the previous release. ### 2/5 — I’d like more data on eeg patterns *2023-12-07, version 4.5.4* The eeg wave depiction is suspect and unrelated to other data ### 5/5 — gamma! *2023-11-16, version 4.5.4* i have another meditation headband that ruins visualization meditation. not flowtime! i can set biofeedback to gamma and do proper visualization (relaxed and focused) correctly. in addition i can fine tune my meditation by individually setting biofeedback to each wavelength and doing my standard meditation. the other headband is just a toy in comparison to flowtime. ### 2/5 — Stopped working after latest apple update *2023-11-15* Worked great. Now no longer works. The device has been rendered worthless. One extra star because it was very cool when it worked ### 5/5 — Easy to Use *2023-10-28, version 4.5.4* I really enjoy using this. Easy set up and use. I had an issue with the first device, but the service department stayed on top of it and resolved everything. Very happy with device and feedback format of app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — dumb *2025-04-07, version 5.0.5* It does not let you export brainwave data after 1hour. this is terrible. don’t buy ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2025-02-16, version 5.0.2* Where are the graphs and data ### 1/5 — Problems *2025-02-15, version 5.0.2* The dispositive doesn’t keep reading for more than 10 minutos, it is frustrating ### 1/5 — Problems *2025-02-11* The dispositive doesn’t keep reading for more than 10 minutos, it is frustrating ### 1/5 — Still buggy *2025-02-01, version 5.0.2* It will claim great connectivity with the device until you start the meditation and it hard to manages to device specific issues like this ### 1/5 — Can’t even log in. *2024-09-18, version 4.6.11* I was able to log in the first time, it now I get the message “network error”. It goes no where, so now I can’t even use the device. Same thing happens with my girlfriend. ### 1/5 — Can’t purchase *2024-06-22, version 4.6.10* You cannot purchase it via the app with the free trial on apple i have tried contacting the company and they ignore your email? ### 1/5 — Loses data never keeps signal *2024-05-13, version 4.6.9* Every time I have used the headset with the app, weather breathing or mediation it looses signal. Battery fully charged and phone next to me and not signal is reliable . Worthless if u don’t get the feedback. ### 1/5 — No support *2024-03-25, version 4.6.6* Bought the headband and the app. Headband showed up but it appears to be previously opened and the instructions are missing. I purchased the app with the headband but it says I have to pay for the app. There is no way to contact the company to get support. ### 1/5 — Heart rates is not accurate *2023-11-06, version 4.5.4* The Heart rate measurement is not accurate. It is reading about 2 times my heart rate. When my Apple Watch reads in the 50 bpm rate the headband is reading 85 to 95 bpm. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Can’t live without *2026-06-27, version 5.0.6* I love being able to look at the data and trends. It helps me learn what works for me because I can see how my practice influences my levels. ### 5/5 — 5 stars *2026-03-31, version 5.0.6* Flowtime continues to impress me. It’s easy to connect, very comfortable and gives me accurate info about my meditation. The app is loaded with useful information ### 5/5 — Very good *2026-02-04, version 5.0.6* Functionally very rich, well thought out with lots of data. Good design makes it intuitive and easy to use. ### 5/5 — Impressed *2025-08-19, version 5.0.6* Take your meditation to the next level! ### 5/5 — Amazing Learning Device *2025-06-19, version 5.0.6* I have owned the headband for a couple years now. I bought it to know when I was in the meditation flow. It does not disappoint. ### 5/5 — Deepen Your Practice *2024-12-04, version 4.6.11* Flowtime is an excellent way to help you deepen your understanding of the effects of meditation practices. I highly recommend it for advanced meditators, as well as people who want to increase their knowledge on educational effects. ### 5/5 — Thank you for such an awesome device! *2024-06-02, version 4.6.10* I started meditating during Covid lockdown. The more I read books to solidify my understanding and practise and learned about different brain forms; I wanted to measure these while meditating. But the devices available in the market was very few and Muse required their own app. Also I learned heart brain coherence is important. Flow measures all the brain waves AND heart coherence. The best part I can leave the app and do my own meditations on outside app. I can also journal and record my mood. So thank you! ### 5/5 — Amazing assessment addition *2024-01-12, version 4.6.3* This is such an amazing headband and of great value in improving one’s meditation. The accompanying program giving feedback and data is extremely well designed. Easy to read with excellent further information in a further drop down screen if you so choose. Uncluttered but with a valuable depth of detail when required. Ordering was really easy and was sent the very next day, despite it being Xmas day. It came very promptly with no extra customs charges despite coming from overseas. This has given me that extra boost to my motivation and knowledge that I was looking for. I would thoroughly recommend it and am thinking of buying one for my daughter. ### 5/5 — Got this as a Christmas gift *2023-12-26, version 4.5.4* I’m only on session two and this is freaking wild! Being able to see my progress is going to be so helpful. ### 5/5 — This feels magic *2023-12-02, version 4.5.4* The amount of time it took me to get better at meditation with this band is impressive. I went from 1% flow to 30% in 3 days!! The hardware is great and the software is too. UI UX could be improved but it serves the purpose. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
