BrainTap: Brain Fitness 12+

I made mindfulness and intention my goals for 2021 and wanted to start meditating but didn’t know how or where to begin. I searched mediation apps and found BrainTap to be top-rated. Although skeptical of the whole practice, I started my free trial. I was hooked after my first Daily BrainTap session. Meditating, I learned, isn’t difficult, doesn’t require any special energy, and packs a mighty self-care punch. This app helps you rest and recharge in 10 short minutes a day (or more if you like!) I love the messages Tamara embeds in the Daily BrainTap, I love the thought provoking ideas Jeff brings to Daily Trips, and sleep stories really do help us sleep! My 10 year old listens to one very single night. I’m especially excited about the new BrainTap Kids feature and look forward to more kid’s meditations. This app has introduced life changing practices to my family over the last 9 months and I’m so grateful. We’ll continue to renew each year. Would recommend for anyone 100%!

UPDATE - The new content using Rife frequency combined with Delta is the best before bed practice. I’ve had the most rejuvenating sleep and wake up SO refreshed! I would love to see more Rife frequencies used especially for pain relief. The quality of the new content released every month makes this app more and more valuable.

ORIGINAL REVIEW - I use my BrainTap primarily for sleep and stress management. When I find myself in negative patterns of thinking, I’ll use a session to refocus on positive thought patterns. This has also helped with staying focused on healthy habits like drinking water and exercise. I’d love to see more Christ centered content. More scripture based sessions to renew the mind would be very appreciated. Also, it would be nice to have an option to bring your own worship music into the app and have the lights coordinate for different outcomes - for drifting off to sleep or meditative and focus states.

BrainTap is fantastic. I appreciate the way it puts mediation into a do-able, flexible format; and promotes mindful living habits. I miss the way the app was organized and the way the “brand” was a couple years ago when they used a softer-pallet color scheme for the thumbnails. Back when the BrainTap logo was an all caps font. The bold colors (especially in the sleep sections) are too saturated for my taste and seem at a discord for a company promoting stillness in the mind. I also miss the layout/menu organization that the app had back then. But since those complaints have more to do with the recent packaging choices, and not with the actual “package” I still give 5 stars because the content is excellent.
