### 3/5 — 待ってます🥲

*2026-03-23*

他のレビューにもありますが、かつては本当に良アプリでした

独特な振動音だけではなくて、波や雷のような自然音や僅かなインストゥルメンタルミュージックと組み合わせて再生できて、再生時間も指定できたので20分くらいで止まるようにして10分くらいで寝落ちという使い方ができていました

しかしそれも過去の話

本バージョンではパルスだけがひたすらループするだけのシンプルな構成です
バックグラウンドで再生させながらiTunesやYouTubeの音楽などと重ねる事は可能なので、そういう使い方に主眼を置いたようですが、正直使いにくい…

更新履歴にすぐにバージョンアップするよ！と書いてあるけど6年経過🥲
もうやる気を無くされてしまったんですかね…残念ですけど、更新待ってます🙏

### 2/5 — Dont good delta state

*2023-03-28*

Programm for only one state but not well. Please moneyback mr. Aapl . Ough...

### 2/5 — かつては良いアプリだった

*2022-03-27*

以前（iOS6の頃）はトーンと一緒に簡単なサウンドエフェクトを再生できたのですが、なぜ無くしてしまったのですかねぇ… あと画面のパーツが全体的に右に寄ってるのは、Store上のスクリーンショットもそうなので意図的なんでしょうか。たまにトーンの説明文がはみ出ていますが… 

 2年ほどアプリも更新されていないことからして、もう更新する気はないんでしょうか… いいアプリだっただけに残念です。
結局今では代わりのアプリとしてBetterSleepを使っています。

### 2/5 — Use it all the time

*2020-01-17, version 3.1*

Good app, I use it all the time. But it is in desperate need of an update. It says one is coming soon, would love to see it and have it be the app it has the potential to be instead of the app it is failing to be.

### 2/5 — Only worked once!

*2019-03-01, version 3*

Every time I try to start a tone it won’t exits the app! Refund?

### 3/5 — Update??

*2019-01-25*

Nice app but no updates for ages!!? Still on the old sceem size...
Anyone there?? Thanks

### 2/5 — New and worse for it

*2019-01-24, version 3*

I’ve had this app for years in the old version and bought again this version as the original was no longer compatible with newer iOS. This new version is a major downgrade, still lacking the timer function and way worse user interface. Now I also find it doesn’t work with airbuds!

### 3/5 — Good, but interface needs update

*2018-10-07, version 3*

Friend told me about this. Downloaded on iPhone and old iPod touch. I like the older interface (on my iPod touch) better where I can add background nature sounds and use a timer.
The new interface doesn’t even fit the screen on my iPhone SE, no timer that I can see, and nowhere I can see to add background nature sounds.
I’d have given it a 5 if the new interface was as good as the old one.
I do enjoy the app otherwise.

### 1/5 — Formerly 5 star

*2018-06-17, version 3*

Previously the app functioned flawlessly. Since the update to a much nicer UX the core functionality has suffered with the app constantly crashing

### 1/5 — Could be good

*2018-06-11, version 3*

Not working... Keeps crashing without even starting to play sounds. Too bad!

### 1/5 — 어플 실행 안 됨 ; 들어가서 재생시키면 어플 꺼짐

*2018-03-21*

아 어쩌란 말이냐

### 1/5 — Crashes!!

*2018-03-20, version 3*

Please update, I’ve been using this app for over two years now and I really love it but the new update broke this app

### 1/5 — アップデートしなきゃよかった

*2023-12-18*

以前の仕様が最高すぎただけに残念…。今でも良質っちゃ良質なんですが、本当に以前の仕様が良すぎたからなあ…。アップデートした後は本当にショックでした。最高のアプリでした。

### 1/5 — mind wave2 유료앱

*2023-05-08*

1951년에 슈먼이 지구 공명 주파수 7.83 발견 2022년 지구 공명 주파수는 40hz 이다 Mind Wave2 는 슈먼 공명 세션 주파수는 ?
지구 진동수 변화에 업그레이드가 필요 합니다

### 1/5 — Useless App Now

*2021-05-27, version 3.1*

This app will no longer play through Bluetooth or Apple devices. Not loud enough through the phone alone. I used to use this app nightly. I can’t recommend this app any more.

### 1/5 — No way, Jose

*2019-08-29, version 3*

Hello developer, are you reading any of the reviews of the last couple of years?  This used to be an awesome app but now it is useless and you are still accepting money from sales.  Appalling considering it crashes on most of the selections in the app. 
Do not pay for this app customers!
Current as of iOS 12.4 in 2019

### 1/5 — すぐに落ちて使えない

*2019-05-03*

アプリで再生ボタンを押すと直ぐに落ちる様になりました。使いたいけど使えない。

### 1/5 — Bluetooth causes the app to crash

*2019-05-01, version 3*

App works fine when the Bluetooth is off. As soon as Bluetooth is on it crashes. This is fairly consistent with other things I’ve been reading about this current build of the app. Had I known about this before I never would’ve downloaded this app.

### 1/5 — 急に落ちるようになりました

*2019-04-24*

目的の音源を再生するためボタンを押すとアプリ自体が落ちるようになりました。

### 1/5 — very unstable in new ios.

*2018-12-19*

It’s hard to use this app. this app is very unstable in new ios. plz fix it. I want to use this app without stress

### 1/5 — Was a must-have, but not anymore

*2018-10-03, version 3*

The last update, which was last year, essentially ruined the app. 

Jacob said the timer would be coming back soon, but it’s been a year and still no timer. 

No info on how long the sessions are designed for...especially the deeper ones. 

I hope it gets fixed soon.

### 1/5 — Crashes when trying to play anything on latest iOS update

*2018-08-23, version 3*

I’ve tried a few things to get it to work but it looks like the app needs an update to work.

### 5/5 — Great app, I’ve been using it for years

*2022-12-07, version 3.1*

Probably the best one out there. Been a fan for 10 years now. Please add more

### 5/5 — Isochronic Is Better Than Binaural In Many Situations

*2021-08-19, version 3.1*

This is great for me. I would recommend it to anyone. 

Sometimes, usually when you first start using these sounds, you need to run a sound for about a minute or so to see if that’s the sound you need at the time. (Eventually you know what you want.) 

Yes in the beginning they can start off making you a little uncomfortable for the first 30/40 seconds… after a minute or two you pretty much know. 

I use:

Stress Relief 

Energy and Motivation 

Pre-exercise Session (great for the unmotivated but necessary dog walk)

Anxiety Reduction 

Hypertension Reduction 

I use the Stress Relief a lot. 

Here’s the best thing I have recently found… playing sound in the background, literally in my pocket, on my lap, hand or open purse, while in conversations with naturally difficult people. Like doctors and their staff—makes easier conversations. Stress relief is great for that! 

(No body notices the sound.) 

Negative tech support? Put your phone on speaker and play it another device in the background. 

Sure! Why not make the conversation less difficult?

Do you have a friend who’s anxiety makes for friction filled conversations? You know, the one who’s triggered by the wrong tone in your voice but they still need your opinion or advice? Anxiety Reduction makes it easier for them too. 

Deceitful?…. naaaaah! 

It’s a kindness to both of ya. 

Question: if you’re like me, (everyone is afraid to talk to you in the morning but for some reason they just won’t shut up) wouldn’t it be nice if you were a little easier to get along with? (Because we know they’re just going to keep talking!)

In this situation, Stress Relief helps me… a lot. Using it right now! 

This app costs less than a drink. Why not give it a try? 

Best way is to turn a sound on, put it in the background and check back with your mood in a few minutes. It’s okay… play with it! 

Yes an update might be nice. It would be nice to have a sleep timer. You can set your phone’s timer to, “Stop Playing” if you only want a sound to affect you for only a few hours when you go to bed. 

Note: if you play, Hypertension Reduction all night, you can wake up with no brain power. 

I wish the developer would do a relaunch of this app. If more people knew about it, especially now that we’re post-2020, the world might be a little less jerkish.

### 5/5 — The best

*2021-02-10, version 3.1*

I love this app. I’ve had it nearly a decade now and it’s really helped me.  Thank you Jakob.  Your app helped me unlock the miracle of my mind.

### 5/5 — Simple and effective

*2020-10-19, version 3.1*

I started with the original mindwave which I liked a lot. This is paired down but having tried 3 or 4 other binaural bests apps this one is the most effective for me. Particularly like the Schumann resonance and the insomnia.

### 5/5 — Like this app

*2020-04-27, version 3*

Need update more feature!!!

### 5/5 — Love This App

*2019-08-16, version 3*

I use Mindwave very regularly. The Sub-Delta frequency is my favorite. Very soothing and takes me out of any negativity and deeper into my core. Brainstorming & Creativity is also a great composition. Thank you for making it!

### 5/5 — 長年研究しながら使用！

*2019-03-20*

もう。mindwaveを使用して5年目です。寝て、おきて、仕事にもほぼ一日使用している、頭身体ともにスッキリ、爽快。音量を上げずかすかに聞こえる程度でも充分に効果があります！
体験を積み上げて、私なりの使い方をして満足してます！

### 5/5 — かなり長く使っています

*2018-12-11*

初めて使った時は、家族からの紹介でした、これ、すごく眠れるよって。

当時の私は、普段はよく眠れるけれど、たまに気が高ぶっていたりごちゃごちゃベットの中で考えてしまったりして、不眠になることがありました。

ただでさえ寝れないのにそこに更に音を足すなんて眠れるわけないじゃないか、というのがそれを聞いた最初の感想。
 
ですが、実際使ってみて、その効果に驚き、今でもいざという時に頼っています。お守りアプリみたいな感じになってるかも。

### 5/5 — これだけで聞くことはない

*2018-02-25*

これだけで聞くことはないです。Spotifyの音楽と合わせて聞くなどしてます。（こちらを先に起動・選択してからSpotifyを再生しないとSpotify側が停止します）
過度なストレスや不安の解消や、仕事でパフォーマンスを上げたい時など頼っています。
もう何年も使い続けています。

### 5/5 — Working now!

*2017-12-05, version 3*

Thanks great app for headaches and to study
