The mindLightz AVS App (previously named iLightz) is the most advanced and user friendly platform for transforming your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch into a state of the art "light and sound" machine. This free App is, by itself, a Deluxe "Audio Mixer" allowing the user to combine and individually adjust the volume levels of our precisely produced binaural sounds or isochronic tones with any of 25 built-in ambient sound effects "mixed" with any audio file in your library. These capabilities alone make this App one of the very best and most versatile binaural sound generator Apps available today. With the purchase of our separately available mindLightz™ Bluetooth Glasses, users can experience the Planet's first completely wireless "Audio-Visual Stimulation" (AVS) system. By utilizing the power of Apple’s iOS, we have been able to simplify the user interface while delivering exciting new features and producing the most advanced and sophisticated AVS system available today. The mindLightz™ App includes 84 unique preset programs designed to help users achieve different brain-states. Additionally our "manual" mode allows you to easily create your own custom settings. Finally, we would like to ask all our users to please contact us first before leaving any negative reviews. Leaving a one star rating with a review only stating "App does not work" provides us no meaningful feedback or any way to investigate what maybe wrong. As we add new features and capabilities to our App and as Apple continues to update iOS and expand the number of devices, there is always the possibility of some problems or issues arising with our App and hardware. This, in fact, happened to a recent update which was approved just as Apple released iOS 8.3. Unfortunately, our update, which had been thoroughly tested, turn out not to "play" well with iOS 8.3. We immediately began working on a fix and had it released to the App Store within 1 week. Unfortunately, that was not fast enough as some users had already re-rated and re-reviewed our App negatively without ever contacting us. So, if you find a bug, or are having problems with our optional hardware, PLEASE contact us FIRST as we take ALL problems very seriously and will do whatever necessary to make things right, especially if it involves our iLightz II or mindLightz™ AVS hardware. Thank you for your help, understanding and continued support!

The NeuroVIZR® app is the companion to The NeuroVIZR® device and together function as a form of brain exercise, cleverly disguised as entertainment. By utilizing light and sound experiences, the app when used with the device, provides an enjoyable and engaging way for individuals to improve their brain function. In essence, the NeuroVIZR® is more than just a fun distraction - it is a tool that encourages individuals to actively engage and challenge their cognitive abilities. Brain Engagement is a novel approach to neuroplasticity that differs from Brain Entrainment. Brain Entrainment relies on the Frequency Following Response, which is the brain's ability to follow the frequency of a repeating signal, such as a light or tone. Brain Engagement, however, aims to signal the brain in a way that allows it to adapt and change more easily by providing it with constantly changing information while also helping the brain make predictions. This approach is a new and evolving field of study, with technology being used to apply these concepts to neuroplasticity. How it works? The NeuroVIZR® LED panel produces three simultaneous dimensions of light messaging to create a powerful and mesmerizing experience. MACRO patterning, MESO body pulsing, and cascades of MICRO flickering produce a satisfying First Language brain interaction. The “First Language” is a new and novel term describing the primal capacity of human beings to directly experience and gain knowledge at a pre-intellectual level when awareness is turned towards the subtle states of consciousness and their internal sensory expressions. The ability to compose and adjust three distinct yet integrated levels of light signaling simultaneously yields a unique and vibrant visual messaging experience. Each group of light signaling is effective in its own right, so when combining them, the information output is drastically enhanced, much like combining three musical instruments into a jazz ensemble. Collections Better Sleep – With early, mid-day, and evening options, our sessions are designed to regulate your Circadian Cycle for optimal rest. Brain Gym – Our Light/Sound experiences target specific aspects of healthy brain functioning, making it easier to achieve the desired effects during Brain Gym sessions. Mind States – Each session is intentionally designed with a specific theme, purpose, or intent, allowing you to experience positive short-term Mind states while establishing long-term Mind traits through neuroplastic changes in the brain.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: mindLightz at none against NeuroVIZR's 6. mindLightz also leads on review sentiment (75% vs 67%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.5). NeuroVIZR's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months). On price, rating, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

mindLightz ships an update every 4 months, NeuroVIZR weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
