It's extremely difficult to account for those effects in a one-man-study, but the science has shown that it definitely causes distinct neural changes in the brain: https://med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2016/07/study-identif...

And other studies have shown that placebo cannot account for the majority of effects of hypnosis: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4812013/

Thanks for checking it out!

An offline option is definitely something we will be implementing in the future, hope to see you back when we do.

Sorry, it crashed! We're working on a bug fix atm so hopefully it won't keep happening, has only happened to a couple of users so I'm not sure why... We don't have a scrub/seek option due to the fact that being interrupted in the middle of a session would effectively mean you are brought out of the state and would need to re-enter but we could consider adding it in cases of early interruptions etc.

We actually do have a one-month-free trial of the premium service, if you tap the subscribe button it will tell you about it. However, I definitely see how it can be confusing without tapping 'Subscribe', and we'll make it clearer in the new version.

Really appreciate your frank feedback, we're still-relatively-new developers and the app is quite fresh so ironing out these bugs/improvements is really important to us.

We take inspiration with what Headspace did for meditation: make it accessible and mainstream. That being said although Hypnosis and meditation do share some similarities, they are actually distinct neural states and do massively different things.

We think of meditation as cardio for the mind, improving your overall mental health and well-being through mindfulness. Hypnosis is more like strength training, where you focus on retraining the thought patterns relating a single behavioural area.

Hypnosis doesn't involve being mindful of your thoughts like meditation, instead, you become hyper-focused on what the hypnotist is suggesting and taking it on board. Meditation helps you be aware of your thoughts and feelings and try to change them actively, while hypnosis is retraining the subconscious attitudes and perceptions that are instigating those thoughts and feelings in the first place.

We believe that Headspace and Mindset solve different problems and are actually quite complementary.

Have you got it to work? The issue was a broken link on the website.

I've been tracking my time regarding accomplishing tasks/procrastinating and have noticed a definite shift.

Additionally, I have done two presentations and my performance was commented on by my colleagues as a lot more confident and self-assured (I definitely felt that way).

Sleep is easy to quantify: I used to struggle to fall asleep until 1-2am and now I am falling sleep before 12 every single night.

Sorry what do you mean release a full version? This is a full version on one platform. Its important to validate that you're solving a real need and since we only know how to code iOS apps it made sense to focus on it first.

Native apps are a lot better in my opinion; i can really notice the difference between PWA vs native.

Why may I ask is it obsolete?

We've had ~20 ratings but maybe 6 written reviews who have all had a great experience with it. From email correspondence with our users they are experiencing improvements in the topics they've focused on.

Regarding side effects, there isn't any unless you have a psychological disorder but thats in rare cases. Our tracks simply provide positive suggestions to your subconscious regarding a specific topic.

On a personal note, I've been using it every day and can honestly say its really helped me especially with my public speaking and procrastination and has helped me sleep better (a massive help for my daily productivity). I would recommend giving it a go if you have an iPhone and would be really happy if you could provide an honest review of your experience.

Sweet as, let me know if you have any questions/feedback!

We're using Firebase for our back end which requires either an email or phone number for the user. However, if you want to be sly you could just put in another username in there and it should/could still work (don't hold me on that). Just means we can't contact you with email so push notifications are hopefully turned on.

Mindset is more like a digital smart drug not a mental virus hahaha

I was skeptical before as well! I first came across its legitimacy in the 'Science Vs.' podcast ep on hypnosis.

On our site we've compiled some of the latest research into hypnosis and it's effectiveness. http://www.themindsetapp.com/science/

The research field is still quite young but the evidence is coming in fast. Once we reach a certain scale and funding we will also conduct research specifically into the effectiveness of app-based hypnosis but we believe it would be aligned with the effectiveness of hypnosis in general.

Thanks, we would appreciate any feedback you have.

Yeah we wanted to give people a chance to experience hypnosis first hand before making them commit to signing up. Sorry you feel that way, we believe having user accounts is integral for successfully using the app because it allows progression, stats, personalization etc.These help develop it as a habit which is fundamental for fully changing your deeply ingrained attitudes and perceptions.

@dang would it be possible to change the link to our app store link? Clearly the websites copy is lacking. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mindset-simple-hypnosis/id13.... Thanks

Cheers for the feedback. We'll definitely add explanations along those lines to the website. The site clearly needs to be improved but the in app explanation is a lot clearer in how it works etc.

I'll change that if possible to make it easier. Is there a way to change the link? What sort of information would you think would help explain it better? Cheers

Heres our PH page: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/mindset-3. We're actually Australian devs so a lot of our reviews are in the Australian store. We have ~20 reviews across the different stores.

Ripppp I just put up a new site and Google is saying that it took 6 round trips and 4.1mb to fully render.... http://www.themindsetapp.com . It's just a wordpress site atm, any tips to reduce it?
