Used to love this app
App itself is great and a fantastic concept. However the developers reliance on within app updates instead of updating the app directly has led to login bugs and offline mode bugs that have rendered it unusable. All despite paying $50/year.
Support not available, doesn't work with my Bose Bluetooth headphones
Really wanted to like this app. However, audio only plays when iPhone speaker is selected. Will not play over Bose Bluetooth headphones— don't have this issue with any other apps. Additionally, in app "support" link opens to ZenDesk which says "The company you're looking for is no longer using our help center."
Hopefully I canceled my subscription in time to not get charged. Supposedly, there is a one week free trial.

This app is amazing, although I'm having an issue.
I first would like to say that this app is phenomenal.
The first time I downloaded this app and started my first session, three hours went by without my notice.
And the fact that they choose each channel based on a person's brain type instead of randomly giving you a plethora of channels to choose from is amazing.
However, I am currently having some issues that I would like to address.
The first, and most important one, is that I can't begin my sessions.
Every time I try, the app says that there is something wrong, and even when I try with a sound that I chose, I'm only able to hear the beginning of the sound before it stops.
I also cannot switch from a timed session into a free flow session, there seems to be a problem with that as well.
So at the moment, all I can really do with this app, is change the channels, that's it.
I know this app hasn't been updated in three years, but I'm wondering if you could at least fix these issues, because I would like to keep this app on my phone.
It would also be great if there were more new channels as well.
Hope you're having a great weekend.
Many blessings to you.

No support
The support links don’t work. I was charged unexpectedly through their website and now I can’t get a response for a refund.
“Something went wrong”
Doesn’t work at all.
Doesn’t work
Just downloaded and signed up. I just get ‘Something went wrong’ message and nothing else. I wonder if devs are now using AI Slop code.
Don’t buy this app
I have had a pro account for a few years now and find the music incredibly helpful for focusing on work and other tasks. However, the app does not work at all and the developers seem to not care. The web-based version works fine on a computer but for over $50/year it is very not worth it to have a non-functional app.

Cannot cancel
I have sent in numerous cancellation requests and still getting charged. Extremely frustrating
Be wary
I downloaded this app hoping to try it out for free, but right from the start, the app pushed a “free trial” that immediately required me to enter subscription details. The trial period was very short, and the app is designed so that the subscription auto-renews without clear reminders. It was almost impossible to find clear information on how to cancel, and the process involved multiple confusing screens asking me to reconsider. This experience left me frustrated and wary of similar apps.

just Don’t Subscribe.
No response to customer service questions, deceptive practices, no updates for feeble app.
Run away from this bad joke - Apple should’ve kicked them out of the store.

Don’t. Subscribe.
Deceptive subscription tactics. Zero support or customer service. Better solutions in Apple Music, Google Play, YouTube, Spotify, Pandora, … - Anywhere else.
LOVE but so buggy
I love this app, my favorite station is Nature Beat. Something about the music just activates my hyper focus in a good way and it's like magic.
HOWEVER, lately the playback will randomly stop- especially on the Naturebeat station. This is obviously an unwelcome distraction and the opposite of the point. I mean, here I am frustrated enough to write an App Store review instead of just getting back to work.
Developers, please fix this! I checked that I have the latest version and my ios up to date. Please don't blame it on me!

Website great. App is garbage. No audio.
I like the content available via their website. The standalone app may have worked at some point, but no longer plays audio at all. You had one job.
Sometimes just stops randomly
app just stops working randomly, which is disruptive and annoying when you’re working.
Helps with ADHD but you eventually Catch Up
Focus@Will – the ADHD brain’s equivalent of a zen garden… until my neurons learned the soundtrack. As a lifetime subscriber who happily traded cash for calm in my squirrel-powered mental circus, I’ll forever salute this app for being the first to successfully cage my distractible gremlins. For years, its science-y beats worked like a cognitive straitjacket – until my rogue hippocampus started Shazam-ing the background tracks.
Now when familiar rhythms surface, my focus transforms into a one-brain Broadway show: Is that a 60bpm delta wave mix or the opening number to “Attention: The Musical”? Tragically, my flow state now moonlights as a drumline critic.
While I’d still recommend it to anyone whose mind resembles a browser with 427 open tabs, the app’s two-year update hiatus has me wondering if developers ghosted us harder than my executive function at tax time. Five stars for past glory, only three for present reality, and a standing offer to beta test if they ever remember their App Store password.

Unlock Deep Focus Anywhere
I’ve been using Focus@Will for a while now, and it’s become an invaluable part of my work and teaching routines. The music they provide helps me get completely lost in my work—I find myself slipping into a flow state where I stay deeply engaged for longer than usual. Whether I’m tackling big projects or need to focus on detailed tasks, it consistently helps me block out distractions and stay productive. Shout out to my favorite channel "Chinchilla." One of the unexpected ways I’ve come to love using Focus@Will is during group activities with my students. Playing it softly in the background creates an amazing working atmosphere. It helps foster focus, creativity, and a sense of calm, even in collaborative settings where energy can run high. The variety of tracks ensures I can always find the right vibe for any activity.

Focus & Flow
I run, work, and play with Focus@Will playing in the background. As someone diagnosed with ADHD, I find this tool to be incredibly helpful in creating a more satisfying and productive life. By listening to this music, along with maintaining regular exercise and meditation practices, I am able to accomplish much more work with reduced anxiety and distractions. I highly recommend it. (Note* other apps I’ve used in the past with similar or lesser results: Brain.FM & Masmerize)

Love this app
It’s great at giving me the right beat to help me focus to knock out some tasks on my todo list!
Glitches
The timer start sound won’t work. While trying new sounds , the sounds kept going on loop until I exited the app. The session didn’t start and kept giving the error - something went wrong. Not a good first impression.
