1. 5/5Best!

   I’ve been using BrainFM for > 1.5yrs. and it has become totally indispensable. My brain gets frazzled, fragmented, distractible, jittery and otherwise uncooperative when I’m tired, eating poorly, not moving. It’s 200x worse when I’m stressed- my brain just won’t get and stay focused. For me the relief is almost instant when I slip on the headphones (gotta be over the ear headphones for max efficacy. Depending on the task and where my brain is at I’ll select the ‘Study & Read’ or the ‘Deep Work’ tracks under the ‘Focus’ menu. I’ll set the duration, eg 30 or 45min when I’m doing a series of ‘sprint’ study/ work sessions and when it stops I get up, move around etc then repeat. Note: first time I put it on I started listening to the music to see if I’d like it I quickly realized however, that I don’t have to - it just works on me in the background. Is it the same as just listening to songs or instrumentals? No comparison. That’d be like trying to determine the efficacy of Acetaminophen by the taste of the pill. The selling point for me is the almost immediate ‘ahhhhhhh!’ that my brain does when I use BrainFM. Like someone stopped the fingernails down the blackboard. And quite a while later I truly am amazed when it dawns on me how long I’ve been hammering away at my work! So it not only helps me transition into work, it maintains that state. If I’m in a noisy environment I just crank it up a little. But again, I really would recommend using w over the ear headphones for max benefits. I know that’s long but I hope it helps you.

2. 5/5This helps!

   Ask somebody who struggles with focus and has pretty much done so since a very stressful job search that affected my academics, considering that I could not rely on my mom for unconditional support when I needed it most, this is currently feeling like a lifesaver. I listened to the music from this app after I activated. It’s free trial through the Farron Balanced deal giving me a month to try it for free, I actually managed to largely stay focused and complete and submit a concert review report just last night, and this was something that was supposed to be submitted two months ago. given how much I had been stretching myself out too thin, and all the chaos that came with it, and struggled to let go of despite wanting to, this app and the music contained within are currently helping me stay focused. I got stuff done. You wouldn’t believe how proud of myself that I felt when I finally submitted that assignment after completed it while listening to the focus music. I might have to play some of it while reading, another habit I struggle to maintain. And I own a million bazillion books. The people developing this app knew what they were doing. And now I feel so motivated again. I need to use this app for when I read books and resume my adult coloring book activities. Might even use it for playing my activity book puzzles.

3. 5/5Meditation, Sleep and Focus App

   I discovered this app when I began using a Muse headband to train myself to relax and to calm my active brain. I’ve been pleasantly surprised at how quickly I’ve been able to get to a calm state. My ultimate goal was to hear the voice of GOD speaking to me. I know HE is always communicating with us but we have to learn to still and quiet our mind to hear HIS Still Small Voice. When we learn to listen and actually have an experience with HIM, we are truly blessed with an experience that is indescribable. Words cannot begin to describe the euphoric feeling I’ve experienced in feeling the presence of GOD. I wish the whole entire human civilization could experience this peace that “surpasses all understanding”. I’ve rated this app 5 stars because I have used it for sleep which was very effective and for Focus also. In using the sounds and music, I have been able to tune out the world (with use of headphones) and use the the app as it was intended, i.e. sleep, meditation, focus, etc. I have found it very useful and effective. I highly recommend this app along with using the app to monitor brain waves which gives visual confirmation to the level of calm I experience.

4. 3/5Missed opportunity: Doesn’t accommodate my ADHD

   With my ADHD, I don’t just have a hard time focusing. External structure and tools to help me maintain focus are important for me and many others with ADHD. Paradoxically, however, the more rigid that structure is, the more stifling and difficult to adhere to, and the more likely it will be to do more harm than good. I thrive best under fluid structures and systems of time management. For example, I usually work on 25 minute intervals, but on some days, I may find that 7 minute or 3.5 minute intervals are what I need. I was dismayed to find that, not only was I not able to customize how long the timer was, but the five options I had to choose from were prohibitively long. Maintaining focus for 30 minutes is taxing. For 60 minutes? That requires herculean effort. At 90 minutes, I’d begin to lose focus every 30 seconds or so. And 120 minutes? Imagine how your brain would feel after reading the dictionary for six hours straight. That’s me after just two hours of any given office task. Maybe this app wasn’t designed for my particular variant of ADHD. Maybe it wasn’t designed for ADHD people at all. That’s fine; neurotypical people need focus timer apps too. But I think that, since ADHD people are more likely than most to seek out focusing apps, designing your app to accommodate our challenges by allowing more flexibility and customizability may help a sizeable chunk of your user base.

5. 5/5Life Saver … Or Rather Business Saver

   Having ADD and working from home running a business, where we each work a totally different aspect, has been wonderful! We love what we do and would not give it up for the world. Except … we almost did. Unintentionally. I basically have only done the bare minimum that I had to each day. Customer service was awesome! But marketing, running our website and Etsy shop were dismal. And it caught up with us! And 6 months later I still feel frustrated and unable to do the behind the scenes work. I have taken multiple online teaching courses on marketing in our field, social media, email lists, etc. And many were quite expensive and quite good. Excellent even. But they are useless / until I do the work to implement them. ENTER BRAIN FM! Any day I go without it I get nothing done in these areas. With it I just lose myself in the work. Thank you so much for such a life changing program! I don’t quite understand all the science. But at this point I don’t care. I just know that it works!
