Leave a Review Endel
My new favorite app
Mere minutes after beginning the seven day trial, I paid for the lifetime option—which was deeply discounted at the time. I use Endel daily; it has supplanted several other relaxation and ambient sounds apps.
Although I was hesitant to allow location and motion tracking, it does enhance the experience (somewhat limited, I suppose, by the fact that I don’t wear a fitness tracker or heart rate monitor).
I’m happy to see the problem with disconnecting headphones and Bluetooth speakers is fixed. It was annoying to have to switch modes or quit and relaunch to get sound back.
For those who tend to keep screens dimmer, unselected mode icons can be difficult to see. Otherwise I love the interface. I particularly like the timer. I don’t know why all soundscape apps don’t have one.
Although I like the new winter mode, periodically some the loop transitions are a bit abrupt. (Strings maybe? The sounds have changed and it’s not happening as I write this.) I think it would be nice if it becomes a seasons mode that changes with the calendar.Show lesscapitalj
Skeptical at first...
At first I was a bit “iffy” about confirming a 7 day free trial, but as I began to use the app, my mind changed completely. Really simple, easy, and pleasing interface to look at. The sounds and overall listening experience is great, I’m already sold and I’ve only been using it for one day! The “focus” themed soundtrack is surprisingly effective, I found myself focused in almost a trance like state and got so much work done. Looking forward to being able to focus and get some good sleep. Really hope the developers include different soundscapes - even though it seems like the selection on the app is extensive enough.Show lessAlex Am.
Changing my life
I’ve used sound to deep work and sleep for years, but this is just a whole new level.
WORK (Focus mode)
This has instantly boosted my focus depth and duration while working. It has replaced the Thunderspace app and my ‘Chill’ playlist I used previously.
WALKING (On the go)
I use it while walking, and I meditate and pray while I walk. I do know how they do it, but the sound is so unique, interesting, rhythmic and beautiful. It really helps me get in the meditative zone very quickly. It has dramatically improved the quality of my meditation through walking.
SLEEP
I’ve used the Pillow app for a few years, as well as the Smart Alarm feature on my Withings/Nokia wearable tracker - mainly to wake up at a good time in my sleep cycle. While this app doesn’t have that feature, I have begun to use the Sleep feature in place of the sounds of the Pillow app just before bed. Works great, and I like the sounds much better.
RELAX
While I do t use this one very often, it seems to work when I do. I’ll chill out while reading or contemplating, or while making a fire at home.
For me, the killer features are the fact that this is all in one beautiful app that’s a joy to use, and secondarily, that the quality of the sound and features are second to none. This has become one of my top 5 third-party apps, probably forever.
Nice work team!Show lessTheSwedishCheph
