Leave a Review Endel
Good at what it does but increasing frustrations
I like the sounds, but man this app has become so aggressive at trying to get money from me. I just opened the app and it asked me if I wanted to spend $30 just to reskin the visuals of the app. And that $30 was only for one set of reskins, you don’t even get all of them for that price. I get developers have to make money. I was just truly in disbelief at the attempt to charge so much for so incredibly little.
Not to mention at the top of my home screen in the app, there’s currently a large banner that says “Didn’t care for Premium? Please share why the subscription didn’t work for you to help Endel get better.” Which would be reasonable…if it weren’t for the fact that I am currently subscribed to Premium, so it makes no sense.
I like Endel because the Focus sounds really help me in my work day. The increasing number of distractions to try and make more money off me (on top of what is, let’s be completely honest, a very steep price for the subscription itself—a price I’m willing to pay because nothing else works as well to keep me focused, but a price that is still quite hefty for what you get).Show lessLiterroy

UPD: After studying the users' feedback, we decided not to go forward with the Reskin Store and canceled this experiment. We will try to find better ways to add value to the app. Sorry for this inconvenience! ----- Hi there, thanks for your feedback! It is very important to us. We are studying the demand for this offer (the reskin functionality is not yet implemented). So the offer and the prices are subject to change. Regarding the premium subscription banner, could you email us at ask@endel.io and send your User ID from the in-app settings to look deeper into this issue? Thanks! We are delighted that Endel helps you focus better and promise that we will review our marketing policy, and your feedback will help us a lot. Have a good day!Game changer
After using this app for several months with my new AirPod Pro (gen two) traveling and getting quality rest is no longer a thing. I find I sleep better, Dream more vividly and wake feeling refreshed and ready to rock my day. About mid day I’ll take a Power Nap to push me through the rest of my day and I feel full recharged. I even use it to help my ADHD brain focus on tasks at hand. The only thing I have not tried to use this app with is for creativity! I have even recommended that Apple become partners with this company the same day that I finally broke down and purchased the upgraded membership. I am looking forward to exploring the new brain healing and restoring properties of this app. Some days I just feel like I’m tuning an instrument as if my brain was a guitar or piano and other days my brain finds so much clarity in the directions I am choosing in life while other days the ear worm in my head just keeps me focused on the task at hand. As long as they keep improving this app, this maybe a lifelong relationship!!!Show lessFr33Sp33ch4All

Hi there! Thank you for sharing your experience of using Endel! We are pleased that you like it and that our app has become a part of your daily routine. Enjoy your use of Endel, and keep informed of all the latest updates on socials and in the app. Have a good weekend!Useful in a variety of situations!
I saw an ad for Endel on social media and downloaded it on a whim, which is *very* unlike me. Well, I like it so much I now subscribe to Endel premium and will likely purchase the Lifetime membership in the future.
Main factors contributing to my 5-star rating:
- The quality and variety of the soundscapes suitable for pretty much any activity
- Frequency of updates and new releases! I am consistently impressed at how quickly Endel are rolling out new, innovative features and expanded soundscapes
- It’s effective for me. I give credit to Endel for helping me during the current shortage of ADHD medication in the U.S. The “Deep Focus” soundscape is my best friend during intense bursts of productivity. It really does help me focus. The other soundscapes are wonderful, too!
- Real-time soundscape personalization. I appreciate how the soundscapes change based on input from my Apple Watch. It’s especially cool when you’re exercising and using the “Move” soundscape.
- The community is awesome. Endel have a Discord and it’s very active!
Endel feels like a passion project for the devs; you can tell by how they interact with the community, solicit and respond to feedback, and even do cute things like send you a small token of appreciation (I’m currently waiting for my Endel candle! 😉)
10/10 would download again lolShow lessMarilynMassacre

I woke up, at 3:50 am, and made my daily aspirations; then I opened the Endel app. The lush and melodious, dynamic sounds this app provides coupled with conscious respiration kept me grounded and tranquil, all morning. I was out of the bed by 4:20 am and ready to have some tea meditation. I slowly began to become more lucid to the sounds as they morphed into the twilight phase: the natural sound of an owl blended beautifully with the acoustics and other melodies woven into the featured hibernation sound track.
Later in the morning, during walking meditation, the sounds changed based upon the pace of my steps, and it put me in a Flow state. This is definitely one of the best apps you can have on a smart phone. Thank you Endel team for an amazing experience accessible 24/7 via my iPhone.

Horrible
Customer service is awful. I wrote in to assist me with an issue and they completely failed to do so. Their response was so inappropriate and condescending. I’m appalled that a business that promotes well being treats their listeners with so much disrespect. The music all sounds the same and the app is hard to operate. The choices are an endless stream of the same dark and depressing music. I would not recommend this app to anyone looking to improve their mental health. My experience with the staff was so frustrating and stressful. Surely not the experience I’d expect from a mental wellness team. The music is ineffective to put me in a state of mind where I am calmer. The sounds are irritating and the production quality is poor. Sounds like someone is running this operation out of their basement. DON’T SUBSCRIBE to this. It’s a waste of money and I can assure you the people behind this app are complete frauds.Show lessladanie
It’s okay
I don’t dislike the app, and I did enjoy using it. However, my takeaway is this is primarily a collection of ambient music/ soubdscapes coupled with a pretty and visually pleasing graphics. I don't know if this app constitutes as AI. More likely at best it may read your health info and do “if-then” logic. That doesn't seem to me like real AI, actual learning intelligence. More like the app reads a set of variables such as time of day, heart rate, etc. Then running a routine determines what to play outlined by a group of instructions. Would I pay $50+ a year? No! Would I pay $25 ? Maybe. But like many others I am sick of all the subscriptions. I do believe an individual can create similair curated playlists with Apple Music, or most other music subscription services. The advantage here the app is doing much if the curating.Show lessevancycles
Works perfect for me!
Don’t really understand the negative comments really. If it doesn’t work for you then let that be it. Not everything works for everyone but don’t bash the app because it didn’t “do anything” for you. I use the free version (which is a little more limited) but mainly the sleep mode, set the 20 minute timer and I’m knocked out every time before the 20 minute timer ends! Will be upgrading to the yearly subscription soon, hopefully with a discount email. Definitely recommend trying this app out if you have trouble sleeping, a student, want to meditate and focus or overall just want to hear some soothing sounds in the background. Have it paired with my HomePods and downloaded the Apple TV version even.Show lessRaleigh12884
My gentle awakening, sleep aid
This app plays soft sounds that berce me to sleep. The white noise is sometimes a little loud, and it makes it hard to sleep. If the noise the app played quieter, I would give 5 stars. I do wake up in the middle of the night and the app could become louder to bercé me back to sleep.
I love the alarm, it actually starts a few minutes before it officially starts. I’m a little greedy about my sleep and want every second- I wish I could stop the pre-alarm.
I also use this for ambient sounds. I find the music calming for my interactions when I play it.
Over-all, I use this app daily and I feel like it makes my life better.Show lessMariposa_dendrophile

Hi Mrs Constantine! Thank you very much for your feedback and support! It means a lot to us. We've got exciting plans for the development of many aspects of our ecosystem. We promise you more interesting collaborations, UI and functionality updates, more ways to use Endel. We will continue to develop our app based on scientific research and the great taste of our sound and visual design teams. Have a nice day!Helpful for those of us with ADHD!
I highly recommend this app! The visuals are interesting and soothing without being too distracting. Extremely helpful for working from home for those of us that need some sort of background buzz to stay focused on the task at hand. It also helps with task switching. Sometimes I open this app for just a few minutes when I find myself in a destructive kind of hyperfocus.
It’s also nice for unwinding at the end of the day after watching tv. I don’t tend to use it for sleeping because I switch to a white noise app that makes rain sounds. I actually prefer it this way because I just want to associate Endel with work and finding focus throughout the day.
If you can, I recommend connecting your device to a monitor or a tv (or use Apple TV) to use this app. It helps fill the room with the environment. That being said, I used to use this on my phone and that worked great too!
Big thank you to the app developers for creating this app! To anyone reading this, don’t hesitate to try it out.Show lessMe8274647291
