1. 5/5Hopeful

   Brainway Boost could not have shut we’d up in my life at a better time. I have always been an active procrastinator with tasks that seemed daunting but yet I knew I was an overcomer therefore waiting till the last minute always gave me the motivation to push through whatever task. Right now as I see my daughter struggling to do what some would think might be simple tasks, I feel overwhelmed till now. Now that I have read just a short amount of this material I feel hopeful and truly thankful for such a platform. This review may be continued if I can talk my daughter into downloading it as well!

2. 1/5Needs better on-ramp

   Got the app, started using, everything's good. Start tracking an "experiment". Cool, later, though, I want to see the stats....but there are no stats?!? Huh? Then at the bottom, get a notice that: "*To start seeing the effect of an experiment, you need to track a metric for at least 3 days without the experiment, and 3 days when the experiment was marked as completed." This would have been nice to know BEFORE any experiments!! That's all, wonderful app, functionally does what it an app should do, great visuals, navigation is a bit clunky (too much scrolling at this time), and don't know how to stop or restart an experiment, doing too many at once. I need this app, for productivity, for procrastination. Thank you. Update23feb2025: the only completed experiment I have finished, continually sends notifications even though the experiment "is complete." There is an inherent bias towards exact and complete entries, whereas, the review of results favors completeness and wholeness. The Explore tab (more like a media library) of sounds and meditations, leaves the user with a blank screen at the end of each playing. Very poor design: could use at least a repeat question icon/button, or prompt of some sort, or repeat, or control of some kind... instead it just, sits, there, doing, nothing.. very weird.

3. 1/5Overall review

   Very misleading with subscription. To my understanding I purchased a yearly subscription. All of a sudden I was being charged quarterly. I finally got my subscription cancelled after multiple attempts due to them stating they could not find my account with the email I was requesting cancellation on and charged me again. I sent the 3 emails used and nothing. I got busy and forgot to insist on cancellation, Charged again. They requested last 4 of credit card being charged and magically they found and cancelled subscription. Requested a refund for last charge since it had just occurred. They state they can’t because I never sent them the registration email. SMH I’m requesting my cancellation from the original emailed used and I had also sent them the 3 emails I used in the body of email as well. Crazy how they found it with last digits of a credit card but not the email used. Plus the program in the app was very robotic and I didn’t find it engaging. Felt more like keeping a journal and I could do that for free.

4. 1/5Poor customer service

   I am extremely frustrated and disappointed with Brainway. I canceled my subscription two months ago through the appropriate method under "Subscriptions," and yet today, I noticed a charge deducted from my account. Thinking this was a mistake, I reached out to their support team, only to receive a dismissive response essentially saying, "too bad." This level of customer service is unacceptable. If a subscription is canceled, there should be no further charges—end of story. To make matters worse, instead of helping resolve the issue or offering any meaningful assistance, their team showed no empathy or willingness to correct their error. This experience has completely soured my view of the app, and I cannot recommend it to anyone. Beware of their shady subscription practices and lackluster support. I’m now left with the hassle of disputing this charge with my bank. Save yourself the trouble and avoid Brainway.

5. 1/5Should’ve read the reviews first

   I bought a discounted trial subscription for one month which was $20. After buying, I made sure to go on my settings and to cancel the subscription so it does not charge me again FULL PRICE for the following months. However three months have passed and I found out I have been charged THREE TIMES. I basically wasted $120 without knowing and I asked customer service if it would be possible for a refund since data would show that there is zero activity on my account. But no. They said refund is not possible once payment is processed. If they had a different cancellation process for subscriptions, they should’ve emphasized it especially if their policy is no refund. I am a student with limited income and bought this app, hoping to help my studies. But instead now I’m hit with the stress that I did not catch this sooner and wasted my money.
