Review summary

Users consistently praise Binaural Beats for helping them sleep faster, stay focused, and feel calmer, with many noting ADHD or productivity benefits. The app offers a large library of frequencies and soundscapes that users find engaging and effective for study, relaxation, and sleep. However, multiple reviews report serious reliability issues related to device overheating and charging while using the app, sometimes causing alarms to fail. Pricing is a frequent complaint, along with calls for better support and more customization options (dislike/delete tracks, folders, timer controls, track metadata).

Calming, stress-reducing sounds that help with relaxation.

Cons

Overheating devices and charging issues; alarms can fail when the app runs long.
Pricing concerns: upfront cost and recurring charges; perceived high cost.
Poor or unresponsive customer support.
Requests for more customization: track dislikes/deletions, folders, timers/alarms, and track metadata.

2026-02-26	Em*****	I love all the choices of frequencies and sounds. They actually do help relax me and I did fall asleep more quickly. The issue is that even when charging (via cable or stand), the app causes my phone to overheat, and thus not charge. My alarm didn’t go off because after eight (I guess) hours of the app running, my phone died. I have a 15 Pro, and maybe this app works better on newer models, but I had to cancel because I can’t have my phone overheating and shutting off. Disappointing, as I really liked the features.

2026-01-30	#1*****	I’m your number 1 fan!! Looks like you’ve implemented some things that have been great! I am in the top 1% and it was genius for you to track and have us see that too. This app has changed my life! I have ADHD and this has really helped! I’ve reached out to support several times with no response. I love this app, one of the few things I can really say has changed my life with ADHD, and OCD. However- You really need to let me delete/dislike tracks I don’t like. Maybe they can go in a “not now” folder, or “tired of this one”, or something. It has become very annoying to have a hated track come up again again. And if I said originally that I didn’t want a certain genre of music, but then later change my mind. Is there anyway to change that In the app, or am I forever stuck with those first choices? With the Pomodoro timer I still need an upgrade there- I really need to be able to make folders for tasks, otherwise it gets overwhelming with just one huge list, some things pertaining to work, others church, others the home- I NEED folders pretty please. Other than that I haven’t found a way for the timer to go off (with a tone), or shut the music off, or anything like that. I would like some options there. Okay last thing- can you give us the beat frequency somewhere on the track, so I can see what brain frequency you’re going for in the binaural differential? Anything over 40 Hz is not brain frequency, but it’s achieved through your differential- I would like to know that number so I can drill down what’s most effective to me- so instead of just “good for concentration “ I know this track is going for Beta, or Gamma etc. Thank you thank you!

2025-06-17	Mr*****	Are they NUTS?! There are many other binaural beat programs that are far less expensive or FREE! They should post the cost upfront and not waste our time setting things up before disclosing the cost!
