Binaural Beats Reviews

I previously gave BinauralBeats 5 stars, because of the novelty (at the time) of BinauralBeats being able to generate binaural beats programmatically. That’s pretty cool. I’ve been using BinauralBeats for a while now and unfortunately the experience is not very good. The monotone binaural tone generated is too high pitched with no way to lower the pitch. Someone with tinnitus said it sounded exactly like that and who wants self inflected tinnitus? The white-noise rain is just not good enough to soften the binaural tone either. However, you can mix in your own music, which is nice. But still, that high pitched tone is gruesome. How about adding some random vibrancy to the tone and the ability to lower the pitch?

There is a simple timer which I paid for and a somewhat strange user interface which doesn’t allow you to select a precise decimal frequency. All in all a 5 star idea, but a 1 star experience.

BinauralBeats is amazing. It does exactly what it’s suppose to, and it does it very well. The reason I give it 1 star is that; I have used that app for years for free. Never had a single complaint. But now they want to charge you $10 every month, Ina auto renewing subscription. If they were to instead charge a one time fee, such as a $20 app fee. I would definitely buy it for a single purchase but it’s a scam to be spending anywhere from $60-$120 a YEAR for this, when it was available completely free for years. At least have a basic mode other than the paid one with more limitations. Overall I’m disappointed one of my favorite apps is now $100 a year to use.

I love BinauralBeats and have used it for years. I like the minimalistic and slick design and the health benefits it contributes to. But it really should not require an internet connection to function.

If my phone has no connection (which I like to do intentionally often to disconnect) BinauralBeats doesn’t even load. It opens to a spinning loading wheel and stays there.

I really don’t see the purpose of essentially blocking the use of BinauralBeats when there’s no internet connection. It doesn’t make sense. I would gladly give BinauralBeats 5 stars if it is updated to be used completely offline.

While this is my preferred binaural app, I have only one suggestion.

I use another app for tinnitus relief when I sleep. I use it for specific frequency and white noise notched audio. A feature that I like in that app is an independent volume setting from my phones master volume. This allows me to play the apps audio at a low setting for sleeping while I leave my phone at a high volume since I use it for my morning alarm.

I think this concept would go well with BinauralBeats because I simultaneously use BinauralBeats while listening to music. Blending both at the same time. Without the independent volume control, the binaural volume level can become a bit overwhelming at the level I listen to my music. If BinauralBeats had the ability to dial back/fine tune the volume in relation to the phones master volume I think that would be a significant improvement.

The design is beautiful, intuitive, and functional. Definitely miles ahead any of the other apps available on iPad.
I would like a feature added:
Step through the frequencies. Have a start and end frequency set and step through them. This can be very useful if you need to transition your mind from its current state.

I was extended curious about how this actually worked so being a natural skeptic I had to try it and after I sorted out and tweaked it to what I thought would work for me with severe night terrors and awful sleep anxiety , this application is absolutely fascinating. I’m not quite sure how it works or the science behind it. I’m just so grateful I bumped into accidentally while trying all the numerous other “sleep” sounds and white noise apps this is mesmerizing and soothing all at the same time! If you try it and it doesn’t make your subconscious relax then try to make a level change because you’re not going to get it right the first time !! Trust me I’m a very very difficult person to get anything that actually helps my subconscious to calm down even prescribed medication has a difficult time helping me. So don’t try it once and then quit because it improved my life.

BinauralBeats is so awesome! A little tricky at first. But your finger on the symbol on the screen and move it right or left to change the frequencies. On the top it shows you what category it falls in (i.e. Dream, sleep.....)

The best part is under the "settings" toggle. So you can use with other apps and Yes! You now can even play it with your own music! I found that out thru the wonderful Developer. He was quick to reply and very informative. Thank you Developer for truly a wonderful five star app!

Thank you from Texas for crafting such a beautiful, professional and effective app. Binaural is brilliantly designed and very intuitive to use. It stands tall over all of the competition in this category. I definitely recommend buying Binaural. For the price of a cup of real coffee or tea, you can make this wonderful app a permanent part of your life.

I was expecting very little from BinauralBeats. It's impossible to find audio that is is truly binaural. Usually they will just simulate it. But using headphones, you can hear a steady tone in one ear, and another steady tone in the other ear plug. When you listen to them together you can hear the binaural beat.

This is BinauralBeats you were searching for when you typed in Binaural Beats!!!!!

I love BinauralBeats. It has a simplistic yet elegant design, and gives me control over what sound I want. I wish it allowed me to create a track where create changes in pitch over a given amount of time, for example if I sleep; I can make a track that slowly raises the pitch as the time to wake up is coming closer. If that was a feature included in this, I would happily pay for BinauralBeats .

I never thought I would appreciate binaural frequencies so much, but BinauralBeats has really changed the game. I love trying different frequencies. BinauralBeats is easy for anyone to use. Its design is visually appealing and quite satisfying. The rain feature adds a lot to the experience as well. Additionally, I recommend reading about how BinauralBeats was designed in the settings. It’s fascinating, and it really made me appreciate BinauralBeats more!

I really wish more people who suffer from chronic depression knew about binaural beats. BinauralBeats allows you to adjust the frequency which can be the most amazing help when depression is sitting in your shoulder or looking deeply in your head. I highly encourage everyone I know to try it when you are feeling anxious, sad, tired, lonely... anything. There is something about the rhythm of the sound that engages your brain and makes you feel better.

I don’t write reviews at all but I love BinauralBeats. It’s a work of art and very beautiful. It is simple yet offers amazing functionality that’s often very fluid and almost too perfect. It really sets a high standard compared to any other similar app out there.

The free version is more than enough and doesn’t have any advertisements or nagging pop ups. It’s only $2.99 to purchase the full application, which provides more colors and optional features that aren’t mandatory to use BinauralBeats . I highly recommend purchasing the full version to support the developer.

I’m still appalled that this developer hasn’t hit the front page of BinauralBeats Store when there are so many similar apps that charge monthly subscriptions or high fees and also breach your privacy. BinauralBeats does not require any permissions and does not require or ask you to make any sort of account. You just download it and can use it immediately. The developer also has a great privacy stance (see Wipr app).

You can’t go wrong using any application from this developer. And to the developer - I hope you make it big some day and I’m positive at some point you will. Your projects and development are a work of art. I can see that you put love and perfection into your apps. You are a very talented and gifted programmer and designer. I really hope you continue to stay motivated and make further apps in the future because I’m looking forward to them!

I downloaded BinauralBeats just to help myself sleep. This being said I’ve utilized it for many different uses. BinauralBeats has brought dreams back into my life, it has helped me relax and meditate during my chaotic life, and has helped me find solutions to difficult and important issues in my life. The different wavelengths help you address the problem at hand, be it sleeplessness or a board exam. I would 12/10 recommend this application to help anyone with distracted thoughts, or a restless mind. It does wonders.

I’ve used BinauralBeats for a while now, and recently I came across your blog describing how youve built BinauralBeats . As a developer (web) myself, I’m a huge fan of the conceptual mental frameworks with which you used to bring about BinauralBeats. It’s inspiring and your work is fantastic!

The 1 feature request: Ability to quickly see the current frequency number on the main UI.

Current problem this addresses: In order to know which frequency is currently playing user must manually drag the meter, left or right, in order to bring up the frequency number display.

Since the beginning of menopause, over 15 years, I have had much difficulty falling asleep, and staying asleep. In a very short time, BinauralBeats has helped me to fall asleep quickly, turn off the annoying “chatter” of stress, worries, things that need to get done, etc. and allowed me to quickly fall asleep, even when I was frustratedly wide awake, and did not think I would be able to. When I would wake during the night, I would just focus back in on the sounds, and would return to sleep, quickly. I am not using headphones, merely playing my iphone quietly next to my pillow all night. Thank you to the creator for this amazing app.

I read that scientists discovered reduced levels of beta-amyloid plaques in mice brains that had been exposed to sound waves produced at 40 hertz. This is the closest and most readily accessible way I’ve found to produce that frequency. I’m no expert though, and would need to confirm that BinauralBeats produces true 40 hertz sound waves. I say this because there is also research pointing to light (visual) treatment at 40 hertz, but there you have to get LED lights with a modulator to produce true 40 hertz flickering - vs a generic light bulb that doesn’t have the true flickering. Any who, i purchased BinauralBeats as a thank you to the developer and in hopes that this gets to him and perhaps sparks an idea in the direction of developing an idea to mitigate the effects of those propense to dementia.

My husband and I have been using BinauralBeats for about a week now. I was very skeptical at first as we subscribe to the old school box fan for white noise and an occasional Benadryl or Tylenol PM for a good night sleep. However, this past week has been a game changer!! We started out with just the speaker on the phone and then graduated to our JBL flip wireless speaker. We have played around with the right sound levels and time durations - HOLY CRAP - this works - it even seemed to worked on our dog! She falls asleep with us and I noticed she almost fell immediately sleep and was chasing rabbits within a few minutes. I am sure there is some kind of age limit for kids but I am going to try this for my teenager who has a horrible time falling asleep. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!

BinauralBeats was delivered as advertised simple and easy interface along with small explanations. The fact the developer took the time to enable the "beats" to play in the foreground along with app, shows that they know the purpose and how theses tools are intended to be used. As for the "beats" themselves I do notice slight mood improvements post session but improvements are so slight any noticeable difference could be attributed to a placebo affect. That's not to say they are not working i'm trying hard to be patient and give them a chance to work but feel that honesty is the best policy when my evaluation will affect others decision to download and one thing I am certain of is BinauralBeats and the design team did an excellent job delivering the product as advertised and in a way that is simple and easy to immediately implementing beats and and the theory behind them.

NOT A PAID REVIEW.

Seriously this is an amazing app, simple, consistently functional, and NOT A SUBSCRIPTION!!! It’s amazing and tbh, if they asked me for donations I’d give them because BinauralBeats is indispensable for me. I’m a nurse who worked through COVID, and BinauralBeats was my go-to during meditation sessions. Please keep running, I love it so much and thank you all for making it.
