Noise can make it very hard to concentrate, and for many students at school and college there is no quiet place to work in their home. This simple, free app delivers 45 minutes of scientifically designed productivity-boosting sound that can mask ambient noise, help focus, improve cognition and reduce fatigue. It is intended to be played through headphones at modest volume – just loud enough to mask the background sound, particularly any conversation. After 45 minutes a quick break from working is always a good idea – hence the length of the soundscape. It can be set to repeat if you prefer.

This app is made by leading sound consultants The Sound Agency, with personal creative direction by their chairman Julian Treasure, whose five TED talks on sound have been seen by over 50 million people. The app is free thanks to sponsorship from Ecophon, one of the world’s leading acoustics specialists.

Pros and cons of Study app for iPhone and iPad

Study app good for

This app is absolutly what i was looking for. Its really helpful to keep focused on work. Thank you! :)
This is a great idea a I love its designed for 45 minutes because thats my Study habit! 4/5 because nothings perfect :) would give 4.8 if I could though!
I have always had terrible trouble focusing on Studying if anything was occurring around me. I tried this app once and, for the first time ever, was able to Study for 45 consecutive uninterrupted minutes and get through 2x the material I normally would when Studying. Super impressed!
Ive always had trouble focusing on my work, everything seemed to disappear from my brain right after I read it, and the music and sounds on this app make it so much easier to concentrate! I absolutely love the zen-ish feeling you get, and how its on a perfect timer. it makes it much easier to balance. I will be using this daily from now on, thank you to whoever made this!
This app is very helpful for Studying. It doesnt distract me and seems to help me focus on pretty uninteresting tasks. The only recommendation Id make is for there to be some sort of countdown or timer that tells you how long youve been listening, or how much time is remaining on the soundscape. I think this would be extremely helpful, particularly if you want to pause and resume within the same 45-min window.
I use this app everyday: in class when people are loud and I need to focus, at home doing homework and whenever I new to get something done. :) defiantly a great app

Some bad moments

Love the bird sounds but disappointed because of the music overlay. I was hoping it would be just the sounds of nature without man made sounds dubbed in.
Would have been great without the annoying music. Sounds like the background music used by massage therapists and other alternative health care practitioners.
I usually have anxiety and become easily distracted when Im Studying, but this thing calms me down and really helps me stay on task. This app is extremely good, especially for a free app.
The quality of this app is simply unparalleled. It definitely helps me concentrate and stay alert while reading textbooks, and so I really like using it, especially since its completely free, which also adds a lot to its credibility.
For a free app, this is fantastic! It really does help you stay focused, especially in a noisy room. Very relaxing, I never Study without it playing now. I would definitely pay for an upgrade if there was one available. This is absolutely great, does exactly what it claims, helps you Study! :D
Now I dont need to endure the ambient noise to Study. Good job!
