This app works brilliantly—just choose your mood and enjoy countless hours of free music and soundtracks. Adding white noise is so simple and intuitive that it makes you wonder why other apps aren’t designed this way. ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2025-06-26, version 1.16* I’ve used many but this is the best by far ### 5/5 — Daily use for students *2025-06-22, version 1.16* I live by this app, helpful for relaxation, studies and concentration. ### 5/5 — FlowTunes saved my marriage! *2025-06-14, version 1.16* Just kidding. I’m not married. But seriously, I have had this app for a few months and it has been really good. My favorite part is the ambient sounds feature. There are a good amount, and the cool thing is now there are a few sounds, like birdsong for example, that have multiple types. Ya get ta pick ya birds. Also, it’s completely free, like none of that “free trial” or “premium version” mean stuff that is in all things nowadays. I hate that stuff, but FlowTunes doesn’t have it, so I love FlowTunes. If you get it and think that it’s mid, just be grateful that it is free. You never know, maybe it will save your marriage. ### 5/5 — Great app 😱🥰 *2025-06-05, version 1.16* Extremely great app and I definitely suggest it to anyone looking for these kind of apps. ### 5/5 — This app is life Changing *2025-04-27, version 1.15* Recommend 10 out of 10 ### 5/5 — Best of its Kind *2025-04-09, version 1.15* I have used countless apps for focus and this one combines all the aspects I need in one place for FREE. The music is nonintrusive, but stimulating and the timer feature helps me do my own pomodoro without needing a second app. In the few days I’ve used it, my focus has improved immensely. Previously, I couldn’t focus for more than 15 minutes without getting distracted, but knowing I’m waiting on a ding and the music to end to get a break is a perfect accountability tool. ### 5/5 — This is FREE!?!? *2025-02-05, version 1.13* This is a very VERY helpful and relaxing music app, it has very original and soothing sounds with the addition of background nature or ambient sounds. It is very easy to use and will definitely find myself using it every day from now on, thank you so much for making this app available to everyone! Keep up the good updates! Keep it free please! ### 5/5 — Best designed app in music for focus, and it’s free *2024-11-29, version 1.7* Can’t believe this is a free app. I immediately loved this app as a replacement for brain.fm. Easy to use, intuitive, and the mix-ins are a great way to customize. The design of the app is simple, beautiful (artwork is amazing), and intuitive. The music is incredibly good across categories. The only thing I’d change is to highlight the focus goals more clearly - sleep, meditation, focus, motivation, etc. ### 5/5 — Wonderful for study and sleep *2024-11-17* It has multiple stations of good music for study, plus it’s got nice background sounds for sleep. Genuinely pretty good app **Developer response:** Thanks Laura, much appreciated! ### 5/5 — Thanks *2024-11-06, version 1.7* Awesome! ### 5/5 — FREE AND AWESOME *2024-09-20, version 1.7* Thanks for creating this. Like Brainfm. You did a terrific job. 🙏. I can’t believe it’s Free Kudos to you brother. ### 5/5 — Thanks for keeping it free *2024-09-18, version 1.7* Love this app, great alternative to brain.fm ### 5/5 — Mais pourquoi cette application n'existait pas avant !?! *2024-07-07, version 1.6* Superbe application qui va, à mon avis, beaucoup me servir ! Si je pouvais faire 2 suggestions : Que l'on puisse régler le volume de chaque son d'ambiance ainsi que la musique (le feu est trop faible par exemple); et qu'il puisse y avoir un canal principal muet qui nous permettrai d'entendre que le mixe des sons d'ambiance sans musique. Merci pour cette application ! ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2024-06-30, version 1.5* I don't usually use apps like this a lot, opting to listen to music on YouTube. I downloaded this just for fun because I saw it on Applevis, and now I find myself popping it open whenever I feel that my situation could use a little background music. It's especially good for listening to while I do other things since YouTube won't let you listen to music while you're not in the app without a subscription! If I could make a suggestion for a channel, it'd be nice to have a childrens' music one. With happy and playful songs with toy pianos, ukulele, music boxes and things like that, that wouldn't be out of place on a show for young babies. I often find myself watching cartoons and childrens' media when I need to calm down, and that's something that I think would really be helpful to me. Either way it's a great app. Will definitely keep using it. ### 5/5 — Harika bir uygulama *2024-06-15, version 1.3* Gerçekten kutluyorum oldukça güzel bir uygulama son derece gerekli bunu düşünmüş olmanız çok değerli. ### 5/5 — Really cool *2024-06-14, version 1.3* Love it! I've been using the iOS app for half an hour now and liked all the tunes I've heard, especially within the Melo pop strings and echoes of the Highlands sections. Really cool to be able to add sounds effects too. As I'm visually impaired, I'm using the app with VoiceOver. The app is really accessible with it. Thanks for your work. Simple and efficient. ### 5/5 — Le son s’arrête dès que l’écran du tél est en veille *2024-06-03, version 1.1* Dommage vraiment parce que la qualité est au rdv Problème réglé cela fonctionne à présent lorsque l’écran se met en veille. Merci pour ton retour ! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 3/5 — I see the vision *2025-12-01, version 1.17* Two things stick out from my perspective because I had to study music growing up. First, a lot of the selections are unfortunately extremely distracting because even though the music isn’t necessarily BAD, it doesn’t make sense. Particularly anything jazzy or featuring a leading instrument that has a melody that moves around a lot. The second thing is that within one selection there’s totally different vibes that’d be distracting to suddenly switch between. In particular, I really liked a track in Heartland Harmonies that was sort of slow and sweet, but the track that followed was super fast and upbeat, like for square dancing. Another thing is that a lot of selections and tracks are way too loud to hear the other ambience noises even when they’re turned all the way up. I wanted to adjust the volume of the main track only, tapped the audio button thinking I’d get a slider for it, and was properly startled when my device audio suddenly jumped up. I think I could use this for when I’m drawing or writing, but it would be kind of irritating if I was studying or reading. ### 5/5 — I never review an app, but I had to… ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ *2026-07-18, version 1.18* Hey folks, I never reviewed an app, but I found FlowTunes from their website. I use it for work and it’s awesome. I love all the new sounds that the developer keeps adding. Thank you so much truly! I’m also developer. Let me know if you need help porting this over to CarPlay or Apple TV I’d love to have it there! ### 5/5 — awesome free music app - no ads *2026-07-11, version 1.18* My friend recommended this and I was skeptical at first but I absolutely love the customisability for ambience as well as various music options. I first used this app as a less-distracting music option to replace spotify music as I studied in college, but now (out of college), I’ve been finding the lofi sleep one most useful - it’s successfully put me to sleep many times when I couldn’t. Thank you so much for making this wonderful app so nice (amazing UI!) and free. Much love! ### 5/5 — Love It! *2026-05-17, version 1.18* Great for sleeping, studying, and just chilling to for fun. One issue is in mobile, you can’t change the mode to sleep. There are stills bunch of calm sleepy tracks to listen to. Other than that tiny issue, perfect in every way. ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2026-02-22, version 1.17* It’s so good. Use it all the time while studying. Helps enter a flow state! ### 5/5 — Great focus music! *2026-02-07, version 1.17* A great alternative to Brain.fm if you don’t want to pay a subscription! ### 5/5 — Parfait *2026-02-07, version 1.17* C’est une très bonne application, mais pourquoi la chaîne des favoris a disparu? ### 5/5 — Stupefacente! *2026-01-29, version 1.17* Meglio di alcune tra le migliori a pagamento; sempre con su tutti i device grazie all’app web! La uso ogni giorno. ### 5/5 — Free AND better?? *2025-12-08, version 1.17* This app is a godsend for my studying and sleep. I tried Brain.fm a while back and couldn’t stand it… So I am astonished that this is free. It’s super customizable- you pick your vibe (like various categories of jazz, lo-fi, strings, etc) and then you can toggle and tweak the volume on additional options like rain, river, white noise, birds, etc. ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2025-10-26, version 1.17* It’s really amazing, has a lot of customization, works without a single issue and it’s free! Have been using it for everything. ## Most praised reviews (1 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Appli Génial *2025-09-28, version 1.17* L’application est tout bonnement génial, elle permet de se concentrer avec des musiques et des sons adapté à ce que l’on souhaite faire, tout en étant gratuite en comparaison avec beaucoup d’autre. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
