About this app

Get rid of Kinetosis (Motion sickness, or Travel sickness) - read or watch movies in your car or on the bus without feeling sick.

UPDATE: While Android users have been enjoying a motion sickness-free experience with this app for years since 2018, the same concept is just coming to Apple iOS with their Vehicle Motion Cues.

Kinetosis typically occurs when traveling in vehicles. It is caused by conflicting motion signals from your inner ear and eyes. This triggers an ancient toxic defense mechanism in our brain that causes dizziness, fatigue, and nausea.

KineStop gets you back on track. It synchronizes your inner ear with your eyes by simulating a horizon on your or your children's mobile devices so you can read or watch movies without distraction.

It takes a few minutes before it helps with ongoing kinetosis. But it works without the need for medication, which can have various side effects such as drowsiness.

KineStop draws the artificial horizon on any screen so you can continue to use your favorite movie player or e-book reader.

Ratings and reviews

Has really helped my motion sickness on the commute. Apple's seems to be a bit more integrated but this is great for Android. Pro is definitely worth it with the different options for the drawovers. One thing to keep in mind though is the fact that it's a drawovers and some apps will prevent you from interacting with some secure information (password manager apps, etc) if it detects that. Just turn off Kinestop for a second and turn it back on for that situation and you're rolling again

Life-Changing App for Motion Sickness Relief! I purchased the Pro version for $3.49, and it’s worth every penny! This app has been a game-changer for managing my severe car sickness. The optional auto-start feature is incredibly convenient—it turns on automatically when I’m in a vehicle and shuts off when I’m no longer traveling. I also love the customization options, with professional-looking modes perfect for adults and fun, engaging themes for kids. It’s simple to use, effective, and

Love it! Very quick and easy and has mostly solved my motion sickness issues in the car. The only VERY minor issue I have is that it will occasionally automatically turn on when not in a car but I just use one click in the notifs to turn it off. I consider it better safe than sorry and it's really not an inconvenience considering the benefits. I'd rather click it off when I don't need it versus the icky squint struggle of turning it on when it's already too late. Used it for years A+
