Publisher's description of I-Doser 3

From I-Doser:

The I-Doser application scientifically syncs your brainwaves to achieve a specific mood or experience, as outlined by the dose you are taking. It does this through the use of a binaural beat dose that changes your brainwave patterns to make you feel a certain way. Binaural brainwave doses for every imaginable mood. I-Doser includes 2 free one-time-use doses: French Roast and Sleeping Angel.

    Version: I-Doser 3

    "Not sure if it works. You only get one chance to try."

    by Jayhawk on May 21, 2005

    Pros: Cool icon. Interesting idea. The program worked smoothly. It looks like something I MIGHT like to own....

    Cons: You only get two different "doses" one to wake you up and one to get you to sleep. You can only try each one once. I tried the sleep dose and it was 24 minutes or so of what sounded like static or Channel 3, white noise/snow from a television along with an electronic pulse that gets slower and quieter as the minutes go by.

    I was pretty sleepy when I started the session. I was pretty sleepy by the time it was over; But after sitting for 20 something minutes anyone could get sleepy. The thin is, after it was over with an alert box popped up with this loud buzz that almost gave me a heart attack. That woke me up! It alerted me that the session was over and I could not try it again until I gave them money. (The first dose is always free) Maybe if I had the chance to try this a couple more times to see if it really works I would be more prone to purchase this but I must say, this is the skimpiest trial-ware I have ever tried. I haven't check for spyware. They should come out with a version that really gives the user a chance to see if it works. And they need to get rid of the loud buzzing alert prompt. One session isn't enough to know. Not worth installing unless your just curious.

    Version: I-Doser 3

    "Two tries, but have tested several other doses and works well."

    by nickashton on June 7, 2005

    Pros: I have been interested in binaural "entrainment" for a long time now, and this is really he first easy-to-use program I have seen that doesnt require a lot of knowledge in the science to make it work. I tried the two included doses, and both worked well. I then went to the store and purchased several doses to continue testing (like 80 cents a dose or something.) Each one worked. Interesting concept, for sure. Also did a full spyware scan and it contains no spyware, and is a very small download.

    Cons: The real bad is the length it takes to use a dose. Some were 50min long in length and you cant pause or walk away - you need to listen to the whole thing for it to work. If you have the time to dedicate, and are interested in the whole binaural concept, give it a try. If just a passing interest, may not be for you.

    "Amazing!"

    by xLAMExOx on February 20, 2007

    Pros: I did not do the one that makes you sleep or the one that wakes you up, although I did do one called "Juice it". It was supposed to be a "steroid" and I could only listen to it half way (I did lay down) and when I finished I felt all "Jumpy" and wanted to go do something. My friend also did a dose. He chose to do the "peyote" dose. Again he also only listened to half of the dose, when he was done he told me that everything that was bright was orange. Also he said everything was spinning. I would suggest that if you would like more doses for FREE go to this link...rapidshare.com/files/16845441/Idoser-Cody-Sythedotorg.rar.html.

    Cons: I do not have many problems with this, but like I said before, my friend and I only had the patience to listen to half of the dose. Thus we did not get to experience the full effect. If only they could get a way to make it shorter...

    "Interesting, easy to use, and actually worked!"

    by chriscana on May 20, 2005

    Pros: This was a very quick download, and a very easy program to use for those interested in the theory of binaural brainwave technology. It included two "doses" that are supposed to alter your mood through the use of binaural beats and headphones. To my suprise, BOTH worked! "Sleeping Angel" made me tired, and "French Roast" woke me up! After those, you need to purchase more doses. I did not try them, but they seemed very cheap.

    Cons: I noticed some of the doses you can buy can take up to 45 min to get the full effect! That is some time! Otherwise, small program, much less complicated then other binaural programs i tried.
