Binaural App Reviews
Don’t include functions that are not accessable in your screen shots for a free product. I don’t mind upsets but this feels like I’ve been duped into downloading it.
Simple, georgous
Georgous app, extremely simple to use and well thought. I highly recommend
Super simple and clean design. It gets the job done with only the necessary level of frills. I’ve been using binaural audio apps for years for studying or relaxing, and this one is the easiest and quickest to use. Check them out on the iOS App Store as well!
This is a great app and worth the investment of Unlocking so that you can use the binaural beats as a pomodoro-style timer. It even does a pleasant fade-out when the time you’ve set is up! Giorgio is a very responsive developer, so if you do run into any trouble (as I did with the App Store purchase), he’s a ready resource. If you haven’t tried Binaural to help you focus on close reading or focused writing, do it!
I just downloaded this. In the first minute I have noticed a nasty problem. - Glitchy, If you adjust the hz bar the app screen expands across the screen. I would definitly give this a 4 star if this issue is resolved.
Vesy simple and Decorated
Glad to see the great design of this application.
Good but can be jarring with ear buds
I've noticed that as I listen to this with ear buds in, after about a minute or so it will suddenly stop and then start up again. This causes my ears to suddenly adjust to the lack of noise, and then be thrust back into it. It's very unsettling. I keep thinking it will be fixed but it's been like this for a while now.
Picking ones own graunlar frequency wound be an excellent feature.
Rounding off to wholes and half values, is just not good enough. For exmple, 3.4 hz, is not possible here, 0.1-0.9 would make this an excelent tool, not the sound of rain. Please!
This rain is dry!
Nice looking piece of software that seems to work well. HOWEVER... The “rain” is really a simple white noise generator, not a looping recording of rain. That’s a shame! The app would really be improved by actual recordings of rain, brook, waves, etc. If this can be added in future versions, and implemented well, I’ll update my review to 5 stars for sure. Also, once the frequency is set, it sits there forever... Instead, it would be really nice if it could sweep through all frequencies in the chosen band (e.g. 13–38.5 Hz for beta) at a customizable rate. If it could also allow us to set the base frequency, even better—this way, you could have any combination of beats with base tones, vs. this low-Hz tones for slower beats to high-Hz tones for faster beats implementation. Overall, though, good start!
Great App, Needs better ASMR
Writing this recieve just because the app needs better nature sounds, get some high quality rain sounds in here and I will give 5 stars no problem.
Somehow it is both relaxing and invigorating
I wasn't quite sure what to expect from this app when I first downloaded it. The free version seemed pretty limited but it looked like it had potential so I went ahead with the in-app purchase to unlock all the functionality and I am glad I did. I am spending a LOT of time working on my 2 monitor computer set up in my home office. The office is quiet which contributes to my mind drifting off while I am working and I have tried playing meditation music that, while pleasant to listen to, didn't really keep me focused like I was hoping it would. I decided to search for an ambient sound app like rain or oceans sounds and I came across this app. I set the rainfall visualization with a dark background to full screen on my side monitor and, after playing around with the frequency generator, I set the audio to a low volume 6.5 Hz beat with a little bit louder rain noise. I found the combination of sounds both relaxing and invigorating (something I had not experienced at the same time before). I got started on my next work project and the next thing I knew, an hour had passed and I was done with a job I had expected to take at least 2-3 hours. Maybe I was just over estimating how long it would take but this app (used with headphones) really seemed to keep me intensely focused without feeling stressed. I am VERY happy with my purchase.
I havn't even opened the app
BUT if it anything like Wipr then I am going to enjoy it for sure. Thanks for all of your hard work dev. I appriciate you for sure!
Developer Laziness
I don't really use this app; I tested it a couple of times, but never used it. Now it's just sitting here, installed. Why I'm reviewing is ... When updating apps, I noticed that Binaural was listed as having an update but "incompatible" as the requirements have been upped to Mac OS High Sierra. I'm still using Sierra for numerous reasons. Again, I won't miss this app as I never used it, but ... IT'S AN APP THAT MAKES SOUNDS. How on earth can it be dependent on anything in Mac OS High Sierra that doesn't exist in, say, Windows 3.1, much less Mac OS Sierra? I just feel like this degree of lazyness in development shouldn't be rewarded. Thanks for reading this review.
Great app! I’ve been using it for years and totally recommend it!
Amazing app! Very simple and extremelu useful! I use it mostly for studying and it really improves my focus. The UI is simple and works perfectly. I do have one suggestion: if we could just keep an icon on the menu bar to control the app, it would be even better for me! :) The developer clearly cares about his work, because the app is updated very frequently, considering its simple purpose. There is an iOS version that even comes with an Apple Watch app! Thank you so much for this great app!
Dead Simple to use, but...
This app is dead-simple to use. Overall, I like it, and it really helps me focus while at work in a noisy open-office environment. That being said, I have two small feature requests that I’d ask for which I think would improve the app greatly: 1. AirPods support: Auto-pause when you remove an Airpod from your ear, like iTunes does. 2. The ability to run the app in the menubar only, instead of via Dock. Thank you to the developer for making this useful little app and keeping it simple. It’s so much better than any of the other apps or subscription services like it.
The absolute best
Dead simple to use, and effective. Much easier than even calling up an itunes track. I’ve got this app on my Mac, my iPad, and my iPhone, and I listen to it constantly whether I’m working or sleeping. Get this for free instead of subscribing to brain.fm or another subscription service.
A Placebo
Good app, BS science.
Its a good start
I just downloaded this. In the first minute I have noticed a nasty problem. - Glitchy, If you adjust the hz bar the app screen expands across the screen. I would definitly give this a 4 star if this issue is resolved.
Great for focusing on reading; responsive developer
This is a great app and worth the investment of Unlocking so that you can use the binaural beats as a pomodoro-style timer. It even does a pleasant fade-out when the time you’ve set is up! Giorgio is a very responsive developer, so if you do run into any trouble (as I did with the App Store purchase), he’s a ready resource.
