One of my most used applications!

I bought this before there were tons of reviews here on it. I took a look on Wikipedia to learn about binaural tones, and though, "why not, its only 2 bucks! Even if it doesnt work Im only out a couple dollars."

Here I am about three weeks later and Im using it with a variety of the included modes. Firstly I use it every night to help me sleep. I live on a fairly busy street for my city, meaning if I want to have fresh air while Im sleeping I need to suffer through the noises of cars, ambulances, fire trucks and buses. Normally Im forced to shut the window, but now I can leave it open... I simply pop in some headphones and use MindWaves sleep induction and I wake up feeling refreshed and ready to go; that feeling that I only used to get once a month (if that)!

Last night is another good example of this being put to good use. I was studying at school - trying to suffer through a Human Resources Management chapter on cultural diversity (there are some interesting parts, but they are few and far between). I was originally listening to some classical, my previous favourite while studying, but found that I was starting to fall asleep around 7pm - way too early! I swapped apps over to MindWave, selected "Get Focused" and hit play... in minutes I was not feeling tired at all, reading attentively and managed to finish the last half of the chapter in 1/2 the time that I had read through the first half!

While at work, in a commissioned retail environment, one of my coworkers was nearly falling asleep - it was severely hindering his ability to sell. He couldnt run out for coffee since someone else was currently on break. I suggested that he try out the coffee mode of MindWave, so I set it up, he popped in some headphones and started at it. He was initially very skepticle, and I even told him up front, "I have no idea if this works, but its worth a shot" - particularly because I had just bought the app a couple days before and had not tried the coffee mode. In 15 minutes he reported that he was feeling completely refreshed and awake. Thirty minutes later he had brought in his first sale since the start of the day, with another to follow soon after.

Like others have said, its possible that its the placebo effect, but the more this continues to work for more and more people (including me) on here, the less I believe we can attribute this to the placebo effect. Perhaps if the app were 20 bucks we could say that its only working because people feel they need to get their moneys worth, but at $2 I dont feel that way at all... I buy tons of apps for $5 or less just to try them out and have rejected many of them as horrible almost immediately, so I dont see why this should be any different in terms of my objectivity on the matter.

In conclusion, I highly recommend this to anyone thinking about trying it out. Although some have reported that it has not worked for them, I dont see how 2 dollars can be thought of as a waste... That pop you bought the other day cost approximately the same amount and yet its gone now... at least as much of a waste in my eyes.
