This app is a general tool for generating various neutral types of bilateral and other types of stimulations. It can be used in a wide range of applications, including:
• Scientific research, e.g., testing reaction times to visual stimuli.
• Educational use, e.g., as an illustration in learning and teaching about bilateral stimulus applications.
• Focus and attention, e.g., improving time perception through repeated auditory signals.
• Relaxation and wellness, e.g. in promoting physical relaxation through rhythmic vibration.

I have used the app for a few days. I like it. It is simple and easy to use and some options. It works really well on an iphone and ipad, but it does not work well at all on a Macbook Air, not sure why, and knocking 1 star for that. My favorite combo is side to side visual flashing and the auditory beeps simultaneously. You can have it run for 24 flashes (1 dose) and then do a quick tap if you want more, or keep it running non stop. I like to do 24 flashes, take a deep breath, and then tap screen to run it again. My plan is to use it whenever I am upset/triggered. Thank you for creating it Bas.
Was a 1-time purchase that worked great

Now they’ve disabled some functionality on an app I’ve enjoyed for years and they want a subscription. Nope.

I’m confident we can help you.
Greed
floralrockstar
I don’t understand. You read these negative reviews critically criticizing your work, for fair reasons, such as unnecessary subscriptions and blatant attempts at cash grabs, on an app that, otherwise would prosper in the market. Yet, instead of listening to the people who took interest in your work, you watch it suffocate and die out as you saturate it with cash grabs. It’s extremely disappointing to observe the future developers, as they skewer their hard work with in app purchases and adding ads onto their work. Sure you make extra cash, but you sold out your in app’s or in game’s experience. And as a developer, that’s just sad. You as a developer could’ve been a change to the mobile app store landscape, yet you contributed to an already saturated market of apps and games with paywalls and in app purchases and ads, making you just another D class dev. Do better.
Just be aware of monthly charges
