Love it
Such a good app!
You can get a lot of sounds (the whale one is surprisingly my favorite) and you can mix a lot of them too. I haven’t tried the stories (the whales or other sounds usually do it for me) but they look interesting and a like the options. Haven’t tried the meditations either.
The only bad things are: the names of the different sounds are a little hard to read- the font is too light and thin. And I wish the different soundscapes didn’t automatically download whenever you just tapped on them, before listening - I’d love to have the option to download after I listen for a bit. Other than that, it’s great! 😍
I’m focusing on the stories in this review
Money grab
Response from developer
Hey Mike, there's some really valuable feedback in this review, so while we're sad to see a one-star, which we don't feel tells the full story we do thank you for taking the time. We give away a generous; 5 stories, 5 soundscapes, a bedtime meditation and over 30 composer sounds for free, this is to showcase the quality of our content, however, as we are adding new content each week internally, we have been discussing releasing more for free. We're currently updating the look and feel and adding some new exciting features within the app, once these changes have been made, you'll be glad to know we will be reviewing our free offering. If you have any further feedback on the app, we'd love to hear from you at support@sleepiest.com, until then, sweet dreams 💜🐨
Developers, please read.

Hey there, thank you so much for leaving such a detailed and kind review. Reading this kind of thing really does mean the world to the whole team who have put so much into making the app into what it is today. From the entire time, thank you and sweet dreams. Sleepiest 💜🐨
You can sleep on this... for now
Next, The problem with the DIY and premade music mixes is that while they’re very nice they’re sure to get monotonous unless there are constant updates going on. We are talking about an app that purports to put you to sleep every night after all.
Worst of all, you have the option to download stories but the app work without a connection! What’s the point of that?
Potential but I’m not keeping this app.
I’ve never fallen asleep so fast! ❤️
Cost vs experience
Response from developer
Hey there, thank you so much for taking the time to leave such in-depth and valuable feedback. We understand where you are coming from with regards for your distaste in subscription apps but we feel we have a valuable case for it remaining our model. If Sleepiest was a completed product then a one-off cost would make the most sense, however, the reality is, each and every week we continue to add new content. In addition to that, we're currently working on a brand new version of Sleepiest which has a host of new features. Keeping our subscribers happy is of huge importance to us and is a big motivator to keep us pushing the app and its content forward. We value you as a user and we hope that you can understand our reasoning. Wishing you sweet dreams, Sleepiest 💜🐨
