About BrainWave Music Control

BrainWave Music Control Intro

Love listening to music via your favorite music player (Pandora, iHeart, Spotify, Google Play Music, etc.)? Now you can control your favorite music players simply by using natural hand gestures. By downloading the BrainWave app, powered by Ari™ technology, you can Play, Pause, and Select tracks with the ease of waving your hand over the phone/tablet -- without ever unlocking the phone or touching the screen. For ease of use, we’ve optimized BrainWave to detect gestures from 1 foot to almost 3 feet away. Your whole open hand must be seen by the forward-facing camera to play/pause -- recommended at least 12" (30cm) or more above the center of the phone/tablet -- (see instruction video). BrainWave will work in Portrait or Landscape Mode.

Once you download the BrainWave app it automatically adds all of the compatible music players on your phone (Pandora, iHeart, Spotify, Google Play Music, etc.) to its selection list. Then all you need to do is select your preferred music player and BrainWave will launch the music player with gesture recognition enabled. You can even listen to music in sleep mode (with your screen off). BrainWave will run quietly in the background allowing you to effortlessly control your music.

I love the app but it shuts down after 5 minutes, if that. It won't keep connected to Spotify on my one plus 3 phone. Hope this is fixed as I really like it.

Great app. Much better than doing this with the proximity sensor. One thing though: Please let us switch the gestures' directions, ie. forward would then be right to left. This way it would be more intuitive, for all apps use this mode when using ordinary on-screen touches. Many thanks!

It took me a few minutes to figure out where I needed to place my hand for the gestures. This is amazing.

Sometimes it works on its own like I was hearing bad blood I didn't skip the song I did not even put my hand above the screen but it skipped the song and played wmyb and then paused it then again played another song plzz fix this

Like most of the other reviewers, I love the idea but the app is totally flaky. It works about once every 12 attempts. It often works when it shouldn't (randomly catches nearby motion). Yes, I watched the video and even the video on LifeHacker. I am always within 12-36 inches and using my right hand. It is random and unpredictable. Tried on Galaxy S6 Edge Plus and Note 3. One day, this could be super cool and useful.

I am using Sony Xperia M4, in my mobile this app not choosing music app it showing only for MX player, it's very unusually app,waste to download

U70%

OnTheGo Platforms has been acquired by another company and I suspect this app isn't going to be further developed, which is a pity. Here, it works pretty well in a certain situation but I can imagine that it wouldn't work well in others. I use it on a tablet which is purely used for a whole-house Google Play Music system, and the tablet is on a chest-high cupboard in the kitchen. My wife hates me touching it when cooking etc so this app is exactly what's required in that situation. I found that I needed to ensure the tablet stand is angled well back so its camera doesn't pick up and misinterpret movements within the room. I also found I had to spend about 15 minutes practicing the gestures, working out exactly what works and what doesn't. After that, it's highly reliable. But it uses a lot of CPU! It would eat battery if the tablet was not always plugged into power. So - five stars from me, but your mileage may vary.

This app is what I was looking for. I wanted something for when I am driving and I don't need to look down to skip a song, and this works pretty good with that. Problems: My phone shut its screen off, then the app won't work. Even if I press the power button to turn on the screen ON, it won't work. I have to unlock the screen for it to work. Please fix the app so it works when the screen is off. I have an HTC M9 with android 5.1, HTC sense version 7.0, running 2.6.605.15 software number. I hope your next release will also be able to go back one pandora menu, and beable to select the next "station" on my list. When I am driving, I only get like 6 song skips, so I want to be able to switch stations with a gesture.

S70%
by S####:

It is a great idea but unfortunately it's still quite buggy. I tried it for driving (my hand usually rests on the gear stick about 40cm from the screen) as I don't want to look at my phone while switching tracks: - Play/pause motions work well - Doesn't work in the dark - Catches random hand gestures and skips/resets - Skip motion rarely caught, and often interprets the return motion of the hand as a back motion, resetting the song. Overall it's a unique app but offers a far from complete user experience at the current stage (at least for driving safely). Good luck!

R70%

Does not work at all and I paid money for the volume and evan that isn't great either. Sorry but I'm not happy.

S70%
by S####:

Its something I wanted... But the range is really disappointing..I wish I could control the music in much larger range.. I can use my buttons/screen itself if the range is only 12". I dont know why... My phone is lagging when this app is running.. Make sure you are using the least CPU resources.... All the best developers... I'm waiting for the upgrade

S70%
by S####:

Can't get volume adjustment to work after paying for the extra function. Skipping / restarting songs works sporadically. Sometimes waving so much to skip a song ends up with it restarting.

But any chance you can make it work with Shuttle+? Other wise its pretty much useless for me at the moment.

Some times I can't touch my galaxy because Im painter and I have dirty hands, but I like to play my music and this app is very helpful but sometimes does not skip or pause the music I pay for the volume control but it works sometimes and others times it doesn't

The idea was great but app has a very long way to go. It doesn't work as desired and Is only favourable for skipping songs
