Beware. If you get your free trial online like through Facebook not the app There is no way to cancel and you are charged.
★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions
Didn’t work at all.. Very disappointed 😔 I expected results and all it did was make me anxious 😬 just plays random sounds based on what you pick for your music at certain BPM levels. I tired over 50 different tracks and none boasted results. Just another subscription and false clams like always, just cause you have evidence of it working on 1 or 2 people doesn’t mean it works with everyone, likely won’t work with most people.

Expensive and Hype. This app is ridiculously priced for Ai generated music. Reduce prices by 75% or make it free.
★★★★★login, signup and account access
Crashes on login. Unable to login via the app. Web and desktop are working fine.

Purchase?!. I heard about this app and I have adhd and can’t focus on things so I got the app not knowing that I’d have to do a purchase option either way so now I can’t use the app because I’m not gonna pay for an app and it’s just a bummer like I was so excited and now I’m bummed out …I wish it was free so Everyone could use it

AI generated elevator music. They want $99/year though 😂😂😂😂

Bruh. I just want a good focus app that doesn’t require money ✌️😔

Renewal Issues. App itself was fine and did its job. Tried to cancel and did it on the web browser (as instructed by the app). The app still charged me today for a year long subscription. Canceled again and hopefully it works this time. Feels like a scam.

Deceptive. The app should make it clear that it requires a subscription before you download the app.
★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions
Don’t download. Don’t download. Just another Paid app!
★★★★★trial charges and refunds
Disappointed. Music Choppy. Team Slow to Respond. I would like to cancel my subscribtion. Not what I thought it was going to be. Signed up for 14 day trial, now it tell me that my trial ends in 3 days from the inital date of start. Canceling is made really difficult and obstructed as I have searched every tab. The website says cancel by visiting my account overview page, clicking on "Membership" and then clicking "Cancel your membership. But that option/link does not appear. I reached out to support maybe an hour after I started my subscription to cancel and have still not gotten a response

Crashes when I log in. I have the app on my laptop and use the website all the time but when I try to log into this app on my phone it crashes
★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions
Stay far away from this app. I pay a monthly subscription but anytime I want to use the app it tells me i need a subscription even though I already have one and signed in. I paid and was not able to use what I paid for.

Not for people with ADHD at all. I didn’t like the jittery sounds in all their music make it sound like the song is glitching
★★★★★trial charges and refunds
Buggy onboarding, too harsh paywall, overpriced. While idea is nice, i deleted 1 minute later because i clicked wrong option on 1st screen and couldn’t change it anymore, then long wait time on screen that seemingly does something but it does absolutely nothing in real, only annoying wait time. Then, you have to start trial immediately or pay without even trying. Why would i commit to something and share my payment details for what i don’t know if it works at all. Closing that menu triggers paywall again and again, no way to explore the app. Overall subscription feels extremely overpriced and a poor quality app. I regret installing it and sharing my email.

It’s a waste of money. I have sincerely given this app time to work for me but the reality is that it has been a total waste of my time and money.

Glitch makes me unable to use my subscription. I have had persistent problems with this app. Despite being able to see my subscription in my iCloud, when I try to use this app it asks me to subscribe. I’m worried about not getting refunded. I don’t recommend you expose yourself to this possible scam.

It ain’t free. I am so done with apps that are “free”. you download it, they made you jump through hoops just to tell you it will be $100 a year. Just say it upfront or offer some limited free option.
★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions
Too expensive subscription. I’ve paid the annual subscription ($50) for about 3 years now. A few days ago they doubled that price, and now EVERY day when I open the app, it says my sub is “expired” and I need to pick a new, more expensive plan. I can “restore purchases” on my profile and it says “you have 214 days left” - each day it is counting down, but I shouldn’t have to go through that step 200 more times to complete my subscription in peace. App is great, music is wonderful, but the PRICE IS TOO HIGH. I won’t be renewing, I just hope they fix the “expired” problem so I don’t have to restore purchase on a daily basis :(

Music great, app terrible. Please please fix the playback error problem when I have a song saved in offline and I try to access it from another device or after replacing my iPhone. Some songs just always throw that error. Seems trivial but I get that error multiple times per day

NOT FREE. Not even worth downloading. Now I’ve got to go download another stupid scam app if I want to get a half decent sleep
★★★★★trial charges and refunds
Not free. It should be illegal to have a free app on the App Store that you download and it immediately wants $70 with some predatory free trial. Garbage, you can find what these people are selling as a subscription free online just about anywhere.
★★★★★trial charges and refunds
Beware of "free" trial. They offered me a 14 day free trial but immediately charged me 69.99 for a full year! I have requested a refund so we will see if they do. Then I will update this.

Email sign in crashes app iOS 26. I can no longer use this app on my new phone, any time I try to login it crashes.
★★★★★trial charges and refunds
Bad app. Brain.fm charged me $75 without my permission. I was told I had been given a free trial and would be given the option to opt out or choose whether I wanted a monthly or yearly subscription once it ended. I was never given the options and they charged me the most expensive plan. You would think an app geared towards people with ADHD would remind you that your trial has ended. This is ridiculous
★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions
Love but subscription won’t sync. Love the app and the binaural beats, they’re amazing for focus. But I can’t use it because it keeps asking me to upgrade to Pro even though I’m already paying. Tried reinstalling and resubscribing with no luck. Please fix this bug!
★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
Keeps crashing. Every time I try to log in, the app crashes. Please fix this! I have no issues with it on a browser

AI Music. I tried it with the ADHD settings. It sounds a lot like the minimal DJs I favor, but without any credit to any artist. I might as well listen to and support the musicians I like instead of paying for AI slop.
★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions
Doesn’t let you use app!. I paid for the app for months and can’t even use it. Once I login it just tells me to pay again! I want a refund this is nuts. Don’t subscribe

Doesn’t seem to work for me. I tried this to help with getting better sleep. According to my Apple Watch I usually only get about 30 minutes of deep sleep on average. I was hoping this would help me get more deep sleep but I only get about 10-15 min of deep sleep when I use this app and I’ve tried all the different frequencies and song choices.
