## Description

Shimmr is a high-fidelity binaural beats and solfeggio frequencies app with an offline engine for ad-free listening. It features Shimmr Spheres, a drag-and-drop sound mixer, and iCloud sync to keep your custom mixes across devices.

With the mixer, you can modify intensity, pitch, and layers in real time, save your signature sounds, and track progress with a personal heat map and mindful minutes. The app supports Delta, Theta, Alpha, and Beta states, full-spectrum noise, natural ambience, and presets for sleep, focus, healing, and exploration, all designed around a privacy-first experience.

## Review summary

Users praise the app for its simplicity, reliable meditation/relaxation tones, and helpful features (timer, screen-off, favorites) with a clean, ad-free experience and responsive support. However, repeated concerns center on the paywall: a high subscription price and most features being locked behind it after updates. Several reviews describe the overhaul as reducing overall usefulness and view the pricing as a negative shift, even for long-time users.

### Pros

- Simple, intuitive UI that is easy to use
- Effective for meditation, sleep, and anxiety relief through binaural tones
- Wide variety of tones and soundscapes with good organization and customization (timer, screen-off option, favorites, explanations)
- No ads
- Responsive, helpful developer who listens to user feedback and updates the app

### Cons

- Paywall and high subscription price cited across multiple reviews (e.g., $60/year or $7/month) making it unaffordable for many users
- Major updates/overhaul that reduced utility by moving many features behind the paywall, leading to dissatisfaction and perceptions of greed
