Brain.fm - Focus Music

Since the last update it cannot be controlled from locksreen nor the control center. Play / pause button is grayed out. Please fix it. it was just so convenient to pause the music when I needed to. Many thanks.

I have been using it since beta (2014 I think). I use it on and off, but in general, I am very pleased with it. Also customer service was great, though I haven't used it for a long time.

Still choppy streaming. When I listen to a good tune and try to save it offline (partly just to void meditation stream breaks) it never finishes the download. I estimate success rate of 60%. Good idea but network/app lacks the quality level required for such a service. I would probably reconsider my 1 year subscription now.

I use it lot, and it really helps. For writing and creative work it’s the best app.

The support is awful. All they do is send canned responses. Latest version doesn’t allow you to play music if you are in airplane mode when starting the app. You have to be on WiFi then it will play offline. I’ve downloaded all the music. It’s the check for valid license that causes this issue. Don’t recommend paying for this unless they do a better job at support.

I’m broke so I can’t buy the subscription, but I thought there would be some way to hit x in the top corner and use it for like a day. Based on the ads I’ve seen I thinks it works.

This is my main go-to productivity app. I use it like a modified pomodoro session of 30-mins in whatever genre I’m in the mood for and subscribe every year. Pretty remarkable how quickly distractions move to the background and I’m lulled into a flow state. Latest UI updates are confused - different durations selectable in different parts of the app and no memory of your last session means you have to hop through the several steps just to restart a 20-min session. Less is more here - help me get into the groove more easily! Would be great, and I think easy to implement user preferences for a default category and track time

Edit: OKKK I SEE U BRAIN FM THE NEW FOCUS SONGS FOR GROOVES ARE BANGERRRR, THE JUST PEACHES SONG 🤌. As a major procrastinator, I was never able to just sit down and do my work unless it was due tomorrow and I had that panic. I saw brain.fm from a YouTube add and was actually curious since it was something that looked liked I could actually use it. I’ve tried other apps or things like this by Spotify or Apple Music but nothing worked until I got this app. I swear that once you start using this app you will be ADDICTED. I started with just using the focus or doing schoolwork and let me tell you it has something for everything. I then found that there were other focus settings like ones for reading or creating or learning or working. I’ve used this app anytime I have something like that and it helps tremendously. Not only does it have different focus settings it also gives you music you like to here or for brains with adhd to help stay especially focused and that has definitely helped too. I’d say they’re music is like when you feed a dog pills. You put the peanut butter or treat around the pill so they taste good but they still eat the pill. It’s the same way we choose our peanut butter or treat so we can like the way the music sounds but it still has that pill that makes us focus or sleep. I’ve also been using this for sleep and it’s a lifesaver too. I’ve fallen asleep sooooo quick have gotten such good sleep and REM and haven’t woken app in the middle of the night at all and that’s just using the deep sleep setting. There’s sooo much customization and I’m BEGGING YOU to get this app if you’re reading this! It WILL change your life. Brain.FM I wanna thank you sooo much for this amazing work that you’ve done! Keep it up and keep making this app even better! If you’re still reading this WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?! GO DOWNLOAD NOW!!!

SAHM with severe ADHD. I’ve been using brain fm for at least three years. Primarily use it for focus but the sleep and relax has worked for men as well. It has only gotten better and better over the years with the app having new features and new music more frequently than required (by me anyways, I’m low maintenance lol) One thing I’ve taken for granted is how reliable this app has always been. It just crashed on me and of course it was only in need of an update. That’s when I realized I never left my 5 stars?! So here I am. Better late than never. Big thank you to the Brain FM team <3

Brain fm is wonderful for studying, protecting your ears and sanity from energetic small children and working while also raising small children. Unfortunately it sometimes doesn’t load while your child is having a meltdown in an enclosed space. Thank god for Spotify and rain sounds or I would be dead. 5/5 when it works! Minus two stars for when even the downloaded material won’t play. 😞
