   Oscillating, not binaural. Perceiving binaural sound is an artifact of your brain processing two close but not identical frequencies. The perceived frequency is the difference between the two primary ones: eg if your right ear hears 4000Hz and your left ear hears 4002Hz, it will sound like the 4000Hz tone is “thrumming” at 2Hz. There’s a very very simple test to determine whether an app is actually delivering binaural sound: just take out one earbud. If the perceived thrumming goes away in the remaining ear, it was binaural. If it stays, then it’s just a mono stream that seems to thrum… This app fails, immediately and obviously. There may be a lot of very pleasant sounds in their library, but their primary claim is patently false. I don’t trust anything else they say, and neither should you.

   Moongate. I’d get it if it was free to use…

3. ★★★★★ads disrupt the experience

   The app is just an ad for the app. Like i’m just trying to speed through everything to get to the point i can turn off the background audio and find out if the app needs a spyware account

4. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Misleading - clickbait. Advertised as “free” yet forces you to create a paid account. Typical deceptive and misleading practice, and false advertising (e.g. on Facebook).

5. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Won’t load any songs. Does nothing except annoying into.

6. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Very unhappy. I really enjoyed this app until they took away all the listening options to make you pay for the premium upgrade. I was going to renew, but now I’m reconsidering.

7. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   This app sucks. don't get this trash y'all

8. ★★★★★trial charges and refunds

   Sensational; 5 stars w/o a doubt!✨. I tried the free trial to check out the premium subscription sleep sounds & how they may help my sleep as an insomniac. Although it was the first time using the app with earbuds in binaural mode vs. through my phone's speaker in isochronic mode, it was astonishing. I will say that it is typical for me to feel more rested after 3-4 hours of sleep than after 7-12+ hours. No matter how long I sleep, I never feel fully rested. In fact, the more I sleep, the more tired I am when I wake. It was approximately 1:30am when I figured I would give it a go. I woke up at 4:30am to my hungry cat (per usual), feeling as if I had the best night's rest I’ve had in several years. Except this was different than my typical 3-hour night’s rest because I felt legitimately rejuvenated & alert. I wasn’t just “less tired” than after sleeping 8+ hours, with a false sense of being well-rested, due to being overtired & feeling “wired.” On top of that, I felt as if I had gotten a full-body massage, my muscles were so relaxed. Rather than subconsciously wanting to curl back up in bed, I was genuinely motivated to stay up & tackle my day's work. 5 stars!

9. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Long sign in. To be a paid site. Free content plays for 1 second then stops

10. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Ridiculous onboarding.. Endless advertising and “continue” screens before I get to TRY the app. Ridiculous. It’s called a SKIP option, folks.

11. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Extra noises are unnecessary. PLEASE I PAY TOO MUCH MONEY FOR THESE SOUND TO BE STEADY AND ALL OF SUDDEN YOU DEVELOPER ADD UNEXPECTED NOISES THAT ARE ACTUALLY STARTLING IF YOU CANT TRY AND FIX THIS WITH AN UPDATE I WILL MAKE SURE THE WORLD KNOWS HOW HORRIBLE AND TWISTED YOU REALLY ARE

12. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    My finger disintegrated clicking. Never got to see what the app is like

13. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Beware!. Beware! For a $50 app you can’t share it within your “family” ecosystem through purchase sharing.

14. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    App sucks! Money grabbers. This app sucks, all they care about is taking payment.

15. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Don’t do it!. You can literally get the same thing on Spotify or online without having to pay the fees that this app is charging it’s ridiculous!

16. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Not free. Good frequency but another app that won’t let you use it till you pay

17. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Garbage Platform. You can get better sounds on YouTube and Spotify for free. These app developers are just hungry for taking money from people for their fat little girlfriends.

18. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Frustration Abounds. Although I have enjoyed several pieces and noted them as liked, I cannot find them again. Nor can I find the playlist I was enjoying. And the search tool seems almost useless. As a Premium member, I am very disappointed. My YouTube premium account is of much greater use to me, because it makes it easy to save selections to specific playlists. Thus far I am finding this to be a frustrating waste of money.

19. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Bait and switch. Have to start a trial to use and then have to pay for continual use. NOT A FREE APP

20. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Scam. Any app that forces you with a hard paywall is a scam.

21. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    not real binaural beats as they said. I asked some of my friends and actually they only have one frequency and it's not really binaural beats

22. ★★★★★trial charges and refunds

    Do not purchase or subscribe. SCAM. I subscribed to a trial, canceled and they still charged me

23. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Info stealing then Subscription?. Don’t waste your time. It tries to extract a bunch of data from you in an absurdly long, completely useless onboarding process, only to then give you virtually nothing without hard pressing you into a subscription. The reviews for this thing have to all be fake, there’s no way so many people are happy with getting raked over the coals.

24. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Failure. The app does not work. And sound you click provides a fail to load

25. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Cost money. 7 days free then charges you

26. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    No moon, just ads. If you’re looking for endless questions and no moon info, this app is for you!

27. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    $=passcode. Can’t even get to hear anything to see if it’s worth buying without putting in credit card information lol

28. ★★★★★trial charges and refunds

    Don’t forget to cancel your free trial: They will NOT issue a refund!. What a ripoff. I was in the midst of moving, forgot to cancel, and as SOON as I realized what happened, I asked for refund. I was literally just charged that day. Apple DENIED the refund. Never buying an app on here again.

29. ★★★★★trial charges and refunds

    Beware. I signed up for a trial, and when I canceled it, I was charged for the year and there isn’t anything I can do about it

30. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Get off my phone. When you cancel you will get no stop msgs from them. No information on opting out
