From 1.99 to 3.69 a month. It’s just not worth it… so many similar things.
Downloaded, signed up, got an email with link to Launch which takes me to a QR code to download app, sign up, get an email….?????
I was skeptical with all the free meditation apps available out there but something about the way they make these tones is just beyond. It’s weirdly transformative. I find myself listening every single day. Thank you.

Thank you Scrunchie22! Yes, daily listening is transformative. Try taking the ToneStream on a walk with earbuds. Transforms the world around you! Cheers, Michael Joly, Founder, Solu. This app is wonderful and addictive in the best way, but I think you would get many many many more subscribers and make this magic accessible to way more people if you lowered your prices a little.
Last year the app was free with the option to donate.
Now it’s subscription without any notification other than the screen saying that your free trial is over.
Sooo not cool. I recommended it to others. I feel like it is just another bait and switch.

Hi there, thanks for your comment.
We found there were not enough paid subscribers to continue to offer the Solu ToneStream service to all who were using it for free.
Our mission is to bring peace and healing to the world, through sound––as a heart based company. We don't have any in-app advertising, or in-app pitches to purchase––only a gentle, tone-based meditation experience.
We have un-recouped development costs and have on-going streaming and developer labor expenses. We know we're offering a valuable service and we're simply asking folks to try it for 1 month, for free. If it resonates with them a $1.99 / mo. subscription for the benefits of more peace, more unity and better sleep is a small price to pay for those life-changing benefits.
I hope this explains why we changed our subscription offer. Thanks for your understanding. Best, Michael Joly, Founder, SoluI love love love this app! I have ADHD and struggle to read and relax in general due to the background noises . Not anymore!! It’s so relaxing that my brain doesn’t register it as “noise” only relaxation that is so subtle that I don’t even notice it’s there!! It helps me read, relax, and sleep. I use it everyday, I can’t give this app enough stars.
You have to subscribe now. Before, it was completely free. Not really thrilled with the change. Was a great program I would use all the time as I could not always have my n.o.w. Devices with me.

Best, Michael Joly, Founder, SoluI’ve downloaded countless meditation and sound apps, only to delete them a few days later. Solu is by far my favorite one. It took no time to set up, you can choose how much, if anything, to pay for it, and there are no ads even if you have the free version. The moment I started it, my senses focused on it and the chatter in my brain stopped. It feels like a warm bath for the soul. So grateful to have found it.
I have been using the app for a month now and I can’t get over how it helps me to glimpse the transcendent even as I move through the mundane. I wear the tones when I go to supermarket and colors of all the products are brighter and I can see deeper into the eyes of the checkout person.
The tones sit in the background but subtlety make you aware of where you are and why you are here. There is no real word for it but you could say it brings love and joy to the ordinary world and helps you to hear the universe deep within you. Some might say it reduces stress, but I would say it makes stress irrelevant. Listen to the tones and tune your mind to a new channel, a 24/7 cable news channel from the cosmos.
Requested it 4 times over a few hours. App won’t let me proceed. What a waste.
