Brushout Reviews

Brushout is helpful but there's no point in paying for the full version. I paid for it thinking I could adjust the "Routine" settings to different time increments (20 seconds for 6 sections of the mouth as opposed to 15 for 8 sections) and it was definitely not that. It's literally only to the change the order of what part of your mouth you brush first. Which isn't even helpful at all since I don't look at Brushout , even on my watch, while I'm brushing. I had a previous toothbrush app on a different smart watch that had 20 second intervals with a graphic that showed the left & front & right sides of the top and bottom while it cycled through, kept track of the "health" of your toothbrush head as you used it, and kept track of how many times you brushed in a day. 15 seconds is just too many sections for us with small mouths so it would be awesome to be able to adjust that. If that were an option in the paid version, this would get 5 stars.

Used Brushout for the first time today and really liked how simple it was!

But then I couldn’t figure out how to log my first brushing for the day. I purchased the Premium version thinking that would make it so I could log what time (morning/night at the very least) but it only puts dots, with a max of 2 dots (I would like to brush after every meal, so 3 or more) and you can’t edit them if you’ve entered them wrong. So now I have two dots incorrectly entered AND have paid $2 for a service I didn’t need after all. Ugh.

Edit: if Brushout is free then there shouldn’t be the option to get charged? I just had a $2.13 charge go through the Apple Store. It’s not a big enough deal, like it’s just two bucks, but I think Brushout should be updated to remove that option then.

Yay tops of teeth! Adding a star.

I'm going to be honest, I was having a really bad day when I wrote my first review and it was just the final straw in a bad day. I'm happily surprised by how quickly the dev responded and how kind they were, especially given the rather unpleasant review. I've raised my rating to 3 stars for now and will raise again after the update. As for Brushout as a whole, it really has helped me so much. I'm adhd and I have trouble not only remembering to brush my teeth, but also what parts I've already brushed. The visual is really helpful. The top of teeth setting is great as I have a small mouth, use kid's toothbrushes, and they don't have as much reach as normal adult ones do. I'm quite certain my dental hygiene would be far worse without Brushout, and I apologize for the harsh original review. Old review: ⭐️ Is Brushing Top of Teeth Worth $10 a Year? No. The answer is no. I've been using Brushout religiously for years. And up until I was forced to update it today, I could brush the tops of my teeth to my little heart's content. Now apparently I have to pay for that. I get needing to make money, but locking a feature that's been around forever behind a paywall is really grimy. Dev response: Sorry to hear that. I read thinking about making subscription including more premium features. I agree with you, such simple setting should probably be free. I will revert it back in next update.

I know this is just a timer but just using it for the past few days has my teeth feeling sparkly and fresh. I love how I can hear a ding and move to another part of my mouth, it keeps it even and I feel like I’m using all of my toothpaste (I know that sounds odd). As gross as this may seem- I don’t think I was doing the best job when brushing my teeth, but now I can tell that I am!

Brushout is amazing and I love how it divides the different sections of your mouth to brush. I love how it countdowns from 15 seconds for both little corner and it definitely makes brushing your teeth more fun and entertaining when it gives you your rewards and in all, I love it so much and I use Brushout every night and morning and I’ll continue to use Brushout every night and morning.

Until I got Brushout, I never knew that I was always brushing my teeth for way too short a period of time. This has really helped me be more disciplined in this small but important part of my daily life.

The only thing I’d say is that the outline for the teeth looks a bit rough in dark mode on my XR. It’s not important really, but in case the dev wasn’t aware of it, I thought I’d mention it. Anyway, great app, love it!

EDIT: It’s been fixed! I’d say that for me now, this is the perfect app. Thanks dev!

I have issues with keeping track of time so I apparently never brushed properly. Brushout has changed my life for the better, and it's so simple too. It reminds me to brush, but more importantly it helps me brush for the recommend 2 minutes equally. I no longer have inflamed molar gums and I haven't been to the dentist since before covid started. Just wonderful. Thanks to Brushout dev!

PS: don't forget to floss too!

I’ve only used Brushout twice, so don’t want to really pass judgment yet, though so far I like it.

Just a little thing, though: I woke up and decided to brush right away. Then, at 9 am, I got a notification reminding me to brush my teeth this morning. Reminding me of something I’ve already done is a great way to get me to ignore an app’s notifications. It would make more sense if the morning notification were cancelled if I had already brushed that morning.

I usually space out while brushing my teeth and don’t do a thorough job but since I started to use Brushout that has completely changed! I use it twice a day and I absolutely love it! It’s simple and very user friendly. The only thing I would change if I could would be the voice guidance. Instead of just saying “let’s go” to indicate it’s time to brush a different area, it would be helpful if it said which area to move to. Otherwise Brushout is perfect for me!

Have been using Brushout for close to a year and it’s been a blessing!
My dentist hadn’t been happy with my last few checkups; and after 6 months with Brushout my last checkup about 2 months ago was GREAT! The hygienist was delighted with the improvement she was seeing!
I just stumbled across this spot to write a review and wanted to thank the creator; and to encourage anyone and everyone how well this can work for you! And to thank the creator for putting this together! It’s been a blessing!

Brushout really helps me organize my life a little more, reminding me to brush twice a day (and as someone who struggles with that, it’s incredibly helpful). The sounds are great, the UI is clean and bug-free; it’s the best tooth-brushing app I’ve used (and, I’ve tried many.
One thing I would ask the dev(s), though, is if there could be an optional transition period in between things like brushing and tooth flossing and mouthwash, instead of moving from one to the next without a break. Other than that, keep up the great work!

I love Brushout for my Apple Watch, however I wish I could have extended time for flossing (like 2-3 minutes) and I wish there was a delay between brushing and flossing because it takes time to switch.

Also, I selected flossing in my settings to appear with extra time, but mouth washing also appears when I click extra time even though I didn’t select it. I don’t mouth wash.

Would also like to see flossing tracking as well :-)

I use Brushout twice a day without fail, and it’s really helped me improve my tooth brushing habits. And I’m really grateful for the setting to adjust the volume!

A couple suggestions: dark mode and haptics for every 15 seconds of brushing. Rationale: I brush my teeth at night and I don’t like to look at my painfully white screen too late. Haptics mean I don’t have to look at it as often to keep track of the time, and dark mode minimizes the impact when I do take a glance.

Edit: thanks for implementing my suggestions!! I love the Apple Watch app. A couple things: whenever I lower my wrist, the time appears over Brushout and the timer doesn’t seem to keep going. Is there a way to keep Brushout displayed on the screen for two min? Or keep the timer going if it’s blurred out by the time? Also, when I finish, the green checkmark in the blue circle persists indefinitely. Is there a way to set it back to its blue play button after closing and opening the watch app?

Thanks for all the great work!!!!!!

I was concerned I may be over brushing in some areas while neglecting others. This completely free app ensures systematic & equal brushing of all TWELVE quadrants. Are you brushing all 12 equally? If not, you know what you need at this point! I also like it links the data into the iOS health app. It tracks toothbrush replacements as well.

Obviously I’m a fan. However, the recent change to the color scheme of white and faint blue is nearly impossible to see from a step or more away. Must be right over the phone to see it. It would be nice to revert back or have a color choice option. Shalom all!

This is really the best way to brush your teeth for the proper amount of time and be sure you do so evenly on all your teeth. The division of your mouth makes sense and the timer with dings between each portion really makes Brushout work for me the way I want. Everything I want and nothing I don’t.

I rated Brushout earlier this year and I still really like it. I use it every day. Just to add the cherry on top and make me increase my rating is that the developers are responsive! They read the reviews and make user suggested updates, so what more can you ask for?

Thank you for Brushout and for taking user feedback into consideration. Keep up the great work!

As someone who struggles with severe depression. It is HARD to garner the Will to take care of yourself. People don’t realize things like brushing your teeth is such a hard activity when your brain is just telling you “what’s the point”. I know Brushout is meant for children but as an adult who has depression Brushout has helped me so much in hygiene routine. Brushout gives me satisfaction after I’m done brushing my teeth and I hear the jingle. Living with mental illness is a struggle and I’m glad Brushout has helped me motivate myself to take Better care of my health.

Please download Brushout if you struggle with hygiene upkeep. It has helped me so much.

After my boys visited the dentist this morning and learned that they are not doing a good enough job brushing, especially the front teeth, I decided to deploy some tech. We. just tried Brushout tonight and love how aesthetically pleasing it is to look at. Very simple clean design We especially loved the sounds. So soothing, especially good for bedtime.

The downside is that the pattern of brushing does not focus on the front teeth—which we need the most help with. We are wondering if there is a way to modify the pattern of brushing? Some other apps divide the teeth onto more zones, giving the front teeth their own zone rather than including them with the molars

It’s awesome! My teeth never felt cleaner before and my mouths refreshing. Usually I only brush my teeth for a short amount of time but Brushout helps me really get in and focus on certain areas of my mouth. You don’t have to pay for anything major and the apps straightforward and easy to use. The only problem is that when I brush my teeth my hand is no where near my phone which cause my phone to turn off. So it’s annoying to try to tap my phone to avoid it from shutting off while brushing my teeth. There’s absolutely nothing Brushout can do about this though because it’s an apple phone problem so I still no give Brushout a 5 star rating.

Hey! This is a really great application, it reminds you to brush your teeth and evenly tells you how. It has some info on brushing teeth, and you can get achievements. As far as I know, there are only four achievements, and I think it would be cool to have more. And this isn’t necessary, but it would be really cool to have a leaderboard! It could have the longest current/lifetime streak, and most times brushed (using Brushout ) over lifetime. Just a recommendation, but it would be really cool!

Note: As far as I have seen, the developer of Brushout is very responsive, which is something not every developer does. Thanks for making Brushout, it gives me the motivation and reminds me to brush my teeth. I would recommend Brushout.

Edit: The developer responded in 10 days! Excellent customer service. 😄

I love Brushout. I didn’t realize how little time I spend brushing my teeth until I started using Brushout. I have plaque on my molars and after about 2 weeks of brushing my teeth for 2 minutes 2x/day, a huge chunk of the plaque came off while I was brushing my teeth. Imagine if I had been brushing my teeth like this before , the plaques would have never formed!
