As of August 1st, 2013, the free version of Gnaural for Android is no 
longer a feature-disabled demo, it has all the functionality of the pay 
version, just perhaps not updated as frequently. The decision was made 
to give it away because the primary goal of Gnaural, throughout my 15 
years of developing it and it's precursors, has always been to get 
everyone meditating. Two years ago, it took some incentive to spend the 
months required to write from scratch the Android code capable of 
playing Gnaural presets, because dealing with audio, GUIs, and XML in 
Java was entirely foreign to how I'd written Gnaural's C code. While 
charging for it never did exactly compensate in the way I'd hoped, I am 
thankful it at least got me to undertake the tedious endeavour (which 
also got me to invent two brand new Voices that then made their way in 
to Gnaural - Water and Rain!). And I am also dearly thankful for all 
those who did spend the cost of a cup-of-coffee to help support it. But 
the kind words are worth even more. From now on, it is hoped that that 
people who genuinely love Gnaural will voluntarily elect to support it 
by purchasing the pay version. But of course, that is absolutely 
voluntary. Enjoy Gnaural!
