Promising, has some good sound mixes, but they need to go back to the drawing board.
Their app is 3 parts and they haven’t made all three parts world class. (1) design and UX of app, they nailed this. It’s amazing. (2) soundscapes or sound mixes that help take your monkey chatter brain offline, they have a few but limited nice ones but then the part (3) is rotating the soundscapes so you don’t hear the same ones over and again because in order to turn off the monkey mind it cannot be able to anticipate what is next.
I’ll break this sound rotation into a few parts (a) they seem to have tried this and know about adding fresh sounds and even change the timing of sessions so it’s not exact and (b) they attempted some new soundscapes recently but their newer one fundamentally fail to be soothing/ear candy, pique curiosity (which births visual imagination, or at least does for me, aka puts your mind into some scenario based on sounds you’re hearing) and/or are just plain weird. Their new soundscapes sound like the professional who made the good ones let their 5 year old come into the booth to play and draw stick figures but in a sound’s sense. Maybe they got lucky on creating a few good soundscapes when they launched, or maybe a different person is doing it, either way, the newest stuff is not great.
I’ve downloaded 5 competitor apps to see if their execution is any better because the idea is solid but execution, while admirable the progress and attempts they’ve made, still does not cut it to be a paid app 👎.
