Let’s say 4 1/2 stars for narrow musical range

This app is truly terrific. The controls are easy and intuitive. There is a wealth of binaural tones to cover most brain activities. These are accompanied by an equal wealth of environmental sounds.

Where I’d like the option to penalize the app 1/2 star is in the limited selection of accompanying music, and to a lesser degree the fact that when you choose a binaural option that the music defaults to ON. All the musical tracks are either light and new-agey or somehow otherwise upbeat. As I am an old goth and I write dark-leaning stories, I’d really appreciate some wider variety there—some more serious if not outright darker tracks.

So what I have to do is choose whatever track and atmospherics match my mental goals, kill the music native to that selection and add in a loop of ambient gloom, like Jim Butler, and it’s all perfectly unpleasant for my work.

This admittedly minor and fringe hit aside, I can’t stress how wonderful a tool Branwave Studio is. A true bargain even if it were twice the price.
