FAQ

The Schumann Resonance is a planetary phenomenon. It is everywhere, global.

The app detects your timezone and language from your device.

The images come from the measuring stations in Tomsk, Russia, and Cumiana, Italy, with their respective timezones embedded by those stations in the images.

Scientific research convention maintains the location and publisher of the data. If everyone altered charts to their local timezone and reposted them, it would be a nightmare to compare.

“Now” is now. There should be no need to change the timezone or location to yours. There simply aren’t measurement stations where you live, unless that’s Tomsk or Cumiana.

To change the language, change the language setting on your device. If your device is set to a supported language (for example Spanish), the app will follow.

The short answer for the live Schumann is no.

The Schumann Resonances range from roughly 3–28+ Hz (cycles per second). Human hearing extends down to about 20 Hz, so you can’t hear most of them at all. The upper range (for example the 4th harmonic), if your hearing is excellent, could potentially sound like a very low, weak hum.

There is no live published Schumann audio stream. Apps that claim to play the “live” Schumann are usually playing generated tones or clips — not a real-time feed from Earth.

Quick Schumann Check includes an in-app Player that can generate Schumann harmonics, Nogier, Solfeggio, and Chakra frequencies for listening and practice. Those are synthesized tones, not a live measurement stream.

You can also experiment with sample values on an external tone generator: onlinetonegenerator.com.

It would be hard to summarize every feature and the science behind the Schumann Resonances in a few lines.

We’ve added informative circle icons throughout the app — tap those for explanations of each image. The most important images have the icon, as well as one for the “Power” value.

Beyond that, check the Resources tab (and the in-app Learn tools) for links, communities, and how-to material. If you find a great resource we should add, please tell us via Contact.

Please write us via our contact form, or email quickschumann@gmail.com.

Buying the app is a one-time purchase. There is no recurring subscription required just to own the app.

If you elect to support us monthly, you may subscribe for Member Bonus features in-app (for example via the Forum or Cumiana Historical paywall). Those entry points unlock the same support tier — there is one in-app support option.

You will see a clear paywall and must confirm activation while signed in to your Apple or Google account. Billing follows your App Store / Google Play settings.

To cancel or manage the subscription, use the store links in the Resources tab. You can start and stop at any time.

We appreciate your help keeping this current. Please consider donating via Buy Me a Coffee, leaving a store review, or using the optional in-app supporter subscription.

The app pulls images and updates from the internet, so yes — you need a connection.

Without wifi or cellular data, the app generally can’t:

• fetch new charts
• refresh notification settings with our servers
• open Resource websites
• sync forum / journal features that need the network

The in-app Player can still generate tones locally once the app is installed.

Tomsk and Cumiana regularly go “dark” and stop publishing for hours or days. They usually don’t go down at the same time, so you often still have the other station.

When that happens, please be patient — the app isn’t broken. When a station returns, we grab new images right away.

You can force-refresh from the home tab (center top control). The timestamp should update when a refresh runs.

To double-check, open the Tomsk / Cumiana links in Resources and compare what they serve with what the app shows. They should match (even if frozen).

Measuring the Schumann is complex scientific work with specialized equipment. Few institutions publish monitoring publicly — we primarily use Tomsk, Russia, and Cumiana, Italy.

Both stations publish static spectrogram images, roughly every 15 minutes. There is currently no live published streaming Schumann audio or raw numerical feed available everywhere.

An app that claims to give you a live Schumann stream is usually misrepresenting itself. Remember: the Earth plays the Schumann Resonances — that’s the whole point.

Whichever store you purchased from can facilitate a refund — Google Play or the Apple App Store. You don’t need our approval to ask the store for a refund.

Thank you for checking out the app.

Please consider leaving a review. If you’re frustrated, have questions, or it doesn’t run on your device, write us first — we work hard to help and can often sort things out.

If you simply don’t like the app or regret purchasing, get a refund from the store instead of leaving a 1-star review. If we later fix your issue after a bad review, please consider updating it.

We’d love to add it — send your question via Contact.

We get this question often. We wish there was open numerical data too.

Neither Tomsk nor Cumiana publishes their raw numbers publicly. They publish images, updated roughly every 15 minutes. The app makes viewing those images quick and easy, adds explanations and historicals, and offers notifications when Tomsk spikes so you don’t have to check 24/7.

If you find actual published data somewhere, please let us know.

People often write when Tomsk or Cumiana go down, dark, or black. We’re not “broken” when that happens — we grab their latest published images. When they start publishing again, we have them for you again too.

Both stations publish images with their own timestamps. We don’t choose their timezone. We do draw overlay lines so values are easier to read:

• Frequency: white and red to the left; yellow and green to the right
• Amplitude: current value, high for yesterday (sometimes called “Power”), and high for today so far

Follow updates on X.

From time to time people assert that we “compute” the Schumann wrong or mess with it. We don’t. We don’t even have the stations’ raw data.

We fetch the public images from Tomsk and Cumiana (you can visit those sites yourself to verify), keep historicals so you can look back, draw readability overlays, and write how-tos. We don’t alter the underlying station imagery.

The app itself doesn’t “go down.” The measuring stations it pulls from sometimes stop refreshing for maintenance — that can last hours to days.

When that happens, there isn’t much anyone can do but wait. The app keeps checking and shows the latest image available. If one station is down, try the other — they usually don’t fail at the same time.

We’re not going anywhere. We keep checking so you don’t have to.
