User reviews

Latest version problems

The rate varies randomly, and the controls are counter-intuitive. Current version is thus unpleasant to use.

Great idea. Needs work.

The slider for rate volume and mix are counter intuitive. Opposite of what they should be.

The rate is inconsistent. Not the same interval left to right. I find this distracting.

A lifesaver!

Great app for relaxation, focus or when feeling overwhelmed. Can play music (i.e. iTunes, Pandora) or watch videos with it in the background too.

Perfectly Simple

Have become very tired of my biolateral CDs. This is a great, customizable tool. After 30 seconds exploring the simple sound choices I had a perfect, non-loopy soundscape.

Excellent

This app is great. It has the features you need and no extra junk. Love it and use it often!
