Insomnia? This app works.

I have suffered with insomnia, the majority of my life which is over 45 years. I cannot sleep without thunderstorms and heavy rain running all night long. There’s a big variety options to choose from depending on what type of noise you like to listen to to settle down for bed.
My only request is for you to make a sound that is constant raging thunderstorm with heavy rain. The one you currently have has a thunderstorm loop that only lasts for about 15 to 30 minutes and would help me sleep more than 3 to 5 hours at a time. It seems like a soon as the thunderstorms, and I just start hearing the heavy rain is when I’ll begin to wake up. I would really love to have one that’s so intense. You might have to look out the window to see if it’s actually raining & thundering at your house. Please. If you create that sound and I can find it, I will gladly come back and change your 3 stars into 5.

Hi SweetGraphix, Thanks for taking the time to write a review. We took note of your sound request! One thing you could do in the meantime is do a combination of the sounds "Thunder" and "Thunderstorm" to create a more intense mix. You'd only need to do this once, and then it would be available in your recently played. To do this, start one of the sounds. Swipe up or click on the minimized play view and click the music icon with the + and then choose the other sound. You can adjust the intensity of each with a custom volume as well and it will remember. Hopefully this helps! Thank you for using SleepJar!

Updated Review: Still Quiet and Reset is annoying

The sounds are still quiet, requiring the volume on Amazon Echo devices really high.

The worst part is the 10 hour cycle. This is totally unnecessary and causes the baby to wake up.

Extend it to 12 hours to cover every situation!

Amazing app!

I absolutely love this app because of all the different sounds that are available. I also love it because if there is a night in particular where I’m having problems, sleeping, I can turn one of the available sounds on, and fall asleep, pretty quickly after the sound has been turned on. So, thank you to the developers for creating such an amazing app!

Question… (6 stars BTW!)

How do I cancel the membership? Not that I don’t like it, it just does not help me much anymore. It is great, but not for me, sorry. I just don’t know how AND I found another app that helps me more. BTW download this; it IS amazing! It’s just not right for me. Please write back!

Best Sound App Yet

I’ve tried plenty, and this one offers something for everyone. From nature sounds to different white noise variations and even city sounds. It’s fabulous

How is this not as well known

Before I used sleep jar I couldn’t sleep AT ALL no matter how much I tried, now I fall asleep in between like 6 and 10 minutes maybe 15, this app was the best thing that happened to me and it probably still is, my only problem is that I would like it 2x as much if you could pay an extra service (like the premium) to have the stories ANIMATED/ACTED OUT and it was only available from, 6:30 am to 8:30 pm it wouldn’t cost that much to hire A animator/ just make the two workers get 100 dollars to act out every story and it would attract so many more people and would just be a nice change to the existing customers, the extra service might be like 10 a month/week and you would probably make a BIG profit, other than that I think the app is perfect.

We are really happy that Sleep Jar helps you fall asleep. I have also forwarded your suggestions to our creative and content teams! Thank you for your review, Emme!

Trouble on subscription-No customer support

Subscribe to the premium- doesn’t seem to reflect on either the app or the Alexa devices, sent multiple messages to support, over a week and no response, giving them 1-2 more days before I cancel my subscription, good that there’s free trial to test them out.
