*2024-03-14*

Love, love, love this app! Don’t know what I would do without it. The calming, pain-reducing features are wonderful, and by FAR the best on the App Store. Wonderful help to me in so many ways- Thank you so much for it!

Update:  Four years later, I still love it! Best app for pain, hands down. Thank you so much for it!   Also fantastic for relaxation. The BEST ever.  I would rate it a perfect 10!

### 5/5 — Excellent for…?

*2024-02-21, version 2.1*

Excellent for shift workers. Excellent for travelers and everyday people living in constant pain and disrupted sleep . Just helps ALOT!

### 5/5 — Remarkable!

*2024-02-04, version 2.1*

If anyone other my M.D. had recommended this, I would not have even tried it. Sounds too good to be true, but it really does work.

### 5/5 — Love it!!

*2024-01-14, version 2.1*

I have been very sick and in pain I have sore muscles, my gums hurt think I have the flu or some weird bug to top it off I've been stressed out from my business! My boyfriend told me about this app said it really worked, i tried this tonight and my pain went away in about 5 min, I highly recommend this if you are sick have the flu etc, also i believe this would help with chronic pain etc. Hope this makes you all feel better like it did for me!

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2023-12-23, version 2.1*

Has helped me with pain and stress.  I highly recommend for those especially suffering from fibromyalgia, like myself.

### 5/5 — It works wonders

*2023-08-21, version 2.1*

A friend told me about this and I was seriously doubtful and now a convert. I use this app for all sorts of aches & pains, including using the Rife setting and wrapping headphones around my foot for at least 20 to alleviate pain of plantar fasciitis! It took some regular and frequent applications but it's working! I can feel the a tingling sensation moving throughout the heel of my foot. Nothing else has worked in almost a year. So worth the price!!! Thank you!!!! I also bought the sleep app and love it as well!

### 5/5 — Wonderful Pain and stress Relief!

*2023-08-10*

Thank, thank you, thank you for this outstanding app!  It never fails to help me, and it works great (unlike other so-called “pain relief” apps that don’t.) Really, you can’t go wrong with this app,  it is such a help to me that I don’t know what I would do without it! 

I give it 10 stars in a five-star rating system!

### 5/5 — Really helps

*2023-07-29, version 2.1*

I’ve been using this app daily for years. It has helped diminish my constant knee, back and neck pain.

### 5/5 — Incredibly helpful

*2023-07-02, version 2.1*

This works!  Simple & straightforward.

### 5/5 — It really works!!!

*2023-03-19, version 2.1*

It's amazing how much it helps with my fibromyalgia.

### 5/5 — This app has been a life saver

*2023-01-26, version 2.1*

Truly grateful for the de stress option.  This app has helped me cope more times than I can count.  Thank you.

### 5/5 — Nice

*2023-01-15, version 2.1*

I have been using these for years. Amazingly effective.

### 5/5 — Works for me, too!!

*2022-12-06, version 2.1*

I’ve used for migraine relief when I was unable to access. Medication and for sinus pain with headphone. Also for back pain with large speaker. Love this.

### 5/5 — Used for years

*2022-11-18, version 2.1*

I found this when my migraines were always out of control. I find that this, with drugs, and a very supportive neck pillow are key to getting them to stop quickly. I find that the tones make me relax and turn my brain off enough to help the rest do their thing. It is most effective for me when I wake up with the migraine and couldn’t pretreat before it gets out of control. My brain can stop thinking and obsessing on the pain and break the cycle.

### 5/5 — Allow me to keep going

*2022-11-05, version 2.1*

This app has so many helpful frequencies! 
General pain is excellent when I push it in my workout. 
Destress is outstanding right after work to shed the stress of the day! 
Rejuvenate allows me to go do the evening event when I want to just go home and sit on the couch.

*2022-10-30, version 2.1*

💖💖💖

### 5/5 — Best Ever!

*2022-10-27, version 2.1*

This is the best app of its type anywhere! Don’t know what I would do without it.  Thank you so much for developing it, and keep ‘em coming!

### 5/5 — It really works!!!

*2022-09-07, version 2.1*

It's amazing how much it helps with my fibromyalgia.

### 5/5 — The pain app works well

*2022-03-10, version 2.1*

The same day I got it, I slid on the wet floor, jammes my one toe, split the nail and cut my other toe, I used your General pain setting and within minutes the pain was gone. So it's clear to me the app works.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — DOUBLE BILLED $6.48 (total $12.96) not $5.99 for the bundle (Pain Killer 2 & Depression ZX)

*2021-01-23, version 1.9*

I wish this Review/Rating would allow me to show a screenshot so I could provide evidence of the double charge to my account!

 I purchased the bundle app for $5.99 which includes Pain Killer 2 and Depression ZX.  Instead of charging $5.99 as gold developer advertises, I was charged $6.48 twice (Total $12.96).  I went to Apple purchase history which reflects the purchase pending but it will not allow me to cancel either purchase. 

PLEASE CREDIT MY ACCOUNT $6.97

### 1/5 — Don't buy

*2018-10-14, version 1.9*

Useless. Ripoff.

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2012-11-07, version 1.6*

Absolute rubbish don't waste your money .

### 1/5 — Absolute rubbish

*2011-12-04, version 1.5*

I suffer with severe cluster headaches and stupidly thought this may help! I followed instructions but it just made my pounding head even worse. The worst 1.99 I've ever spent. It does not do what it says so save your money.

### 1/5 — How gullible we are

*2011-09-04, version 1.4*

I suffer from severe arthritis and so wanted this to work. Should have known better. Just shows how gullible we can be when desperate. Complete waste of time and money. Don't be conned

### 3/5 — Love it

*2020-04-20, version 1.9*

No pain

### 3/5 — Doesn’t fade at end of session

*2018-03-01*

The app description states that the sound fades at the end of your session so you don’t get jolted out of sleep, if you fall asleep.

The sound does NOT fade at the end of your session and it Does jolt you out of sleep, if you do fall asleep!

Lastly... there is absolutely no app support available! The website is just a string of app descriptions identical to the app description listed here as well as all of the developer’s other apps. There are a string of buttons at the bottom of the website for various social media platforms (and email) with the soul purpose of getting you to share and post about the apps, but not to get in touch with the developer. There is absolutely no way to get In touch with the developer. Grrrrrr

Update!!! I did find the developer’s email address within the app’s help documentation.

### 3/5 — Pain Killer 2.0

*2017-02-06, version 1.8*

I've been using this app for around five years now. I find the 'de-stress' set up for 20 minutes perfect for meditation on a busy train. And the hertz frequency can also be a good subtle background timer when meditating and you just want to know when 20 minutes are up. I can't validate the painkilling effects but I think the fact that I'm still using this app almost every day for five years is more than enough to show it's helpful and I would certainly recommend giving it a go.

### 4/5 — Works well for me

*2025-12-26, version 2.1*

The ‘Migraines’ setting helps calm the throbbing pain while I rest and let my medicine work. The ‘Sleep + Pain’ setting helps me get to sleep faster even when I don’t have pain. It doesn’t take away my pains, but it helps me feel better & sleep.

### 4/5 — The 528 frequency works great on lower back pain.

*2021-12-05, version 2.1*

I used 528 for 15 minutes  two times and the pain is mostly gone

### 5/5 — Upset tummy relief

*2026-02-11, version 2.1*

I drank a small amount of milk which upset my stomach. I instantly felt off. I decided to use this pain relief app that I kept on my phone. I selected one of the settings (sleep and pain) then laid down, while wearing ear buds. The relief was steady and gradual. I like having this app, for this purpose.

### 5/5 — Update please

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2025-05-29, version 2.1*

Brian you have created something good for the world. And it’s free. I have chronic pain and used this alot years ago then through several changes of phone lost the app and couldn’t remember what it was called. Tried other binaural beat apps and they didn’t work. Last night I remembered the name and found it. Wonderful sleep with no need for painkillers! And such a simple easy to use interface. Again thank you so much for this gift. 💙

### 5/5 — THE BEST!!!!

*2025-02-10, version 2.1*

I have used this app for years to deal with pain of all sorts everything from joint pains and arthritis to chronic migraine. For extreme pain that the medicines didn’t work all the way this app when used in conjunction allowed me to get to a functional level and on pain that isn’t over the top extreme I use the app by itself and don’t have to use meds. I cannot recommend this app enough. I actually bought all the apps this developer made bec they changed my life and I just wanted to support them in any way I could. This app deserves 100 stars.

### 5/5 — Helps. Me A lot Please Update Brian

*2025-01-10, version 2.1*

I love this app wish you can update it it helps me if my back hurts or if I have a headache keep updating please

Still working for me! Thank you so much. I listen daily. Great for sleep, too! ❤️

### 5/5 — I have 500 apps on my phone and only four of them I have paid for. This app is one of those four.

*2024-09-18, version 2.1*

Struck down my youth with arthritis, I was incapacitated from intense pain.

Arthritis, peripheral nerve damage, fibromyalgia. I’ve been using this app for the past eight years or so and it is only one of the four apps ever paid for!

### 5/5 — great app!

*2024-08-12, version 2.1*

newer review:

love it!!

it’s been years now & enjoying this app 
immensely 😘🙏🏼

older review:
I've not used this App yet often enough but do believe that Rife frequencies are used by many, I'm going to give out a try & have given it 5 stars because there's even an app that is offered by you using Rife technology! I can only hope you'd add more for specific pain, a Lil more specific detox like Chemtrails, Radiation, GMO's would be amazing addition, also IF Rife covers mind control frequencies for protecting against that, although getting rid of your TV, Cable, Satelitte would likely be the best & only option for that!
