Customer ReviewsThis app does what it claims to do but seems unnecessary (3 stars)You essentially move your finger around the screen, listen to sounds, and eventually close your eyes. The description says this technique was tested using an electroencephalogram which showed that it decreased brain activity however I would think any form of mediation would achieve a similar effect. This app is for people who have a hard time relaxing and meditating without assistance. If you close your eyes and can't seem turn the voice in Interesting app (4 stars) I've been using this app for about a week and thoroughly enjoy it. As a mindfulness app, it works very well, helping to develop relaxed concentration and awareness. Well worth the reasonable price. My only critique is for the blob to build up slower as you increase the timer. It would be nice to have the option to choose your color/set it to random and to incorporate isochronic tones and binaural beats to the ambient music. If Not worth it (3 stars) Mediocre. I really like the initial blob phase, it's very relaxing, but within a minute the blob has expanded to fill the screen and you're left swiping your finger with your eyes closed with music? I can do the same by turning on a relaxing song and turning off my phone screen. Would appreciate being able to fine tune which sounds I hear, like turning off the birds, and having the blob phase last longer/indefinitely. Not worth the $2.
