### 4/5 — Best app-just needs fixes!!

*2025-09-16*

I love having an app that is ASMR only; being able to scroll through asmrtists, videos, genres-I’ve discovered a lot of great creators through this app. There are usually no ads, and the option that lets you turn off at the end of the video, after 30 minutes, an hour etc is a great feature. Unfortunately because it’s an independent app, it crashes every so often and I have to wait until it’s working again. Seems to go through seasons/periods of time where it works great and times where it doesn’t work at all. If these issues could be fixed more permanently, this app would be perfect!!

### 3/5 — Review

*2025-09-13, version 2.2*

Nothing will load up no videos will pop up and when I try to search something up it doesn’t load.

### 4/5 — Was great while it lasted

*2025-09-12, version 2.2*

I’ve used this app for well over a year now with hardly any issues- that is until the last week or so. Nothing will load in the search, luckily I made playlists so I can still listen to some of the videos I have saved. Perhaps a newer version can come out, since the last update was 2 years ago?

### 4/5 — Great while it lasted

*2025-09-10, version 2.2*

Worked well when it did. Now nothing loads,  not even the search

### 2/5 — Just why man I have sleep problems

*2025-09-06, version 2.2*

Always freezes and doesn’t work most of the time

### 3/5 — Sign in issue

*2025-08-14, version 2.2*

Once every couple of weeks the app asks me to sign in but there is no option or place to sign into on the app.

### 3/5 — AWSOME

*2025-07-21, version 2.2*

I love this app a lot, but there are some complications I have noticed. 
1: Sometimes the video you click on won’t play
2: Sometimes I can’t exit the video which sucks 
3: sometimes when I try multiple times to change the video, I get put out of the app
4: sometimes it suspects I’m a bot and when I try to press learn more it doesn’t work.
5: I can’t delete videos off playlists or it shuts me out of the app

Other than that the app is great!! Here are some things I like:
1: there’s no ads whatsoever, haven’t seen one in my entirety of using this app
2: they don’t just have asmr but also actual YouTube content 
3: the video graphic and audio quality is exceptional 
4: it helps me sleep a lot

### 3/5 — Many bugs

*2025-07-15, version 2.2*

Amazing idea but lots of bug love this app used for 2 years but I would love to work with the team for free to make better!!!

### 4/5 — It’s ok it’s just it’s very annoying with the glitch

*2025-07-04*

It’s okay I love watching It to make me fall asleep it’s just that when I tried to watch a video it says Oops please sign in to confirm you’re not a robot and I was like ok what? And now when I tried to open the app when I searched for the videos it was loading and it never loaded!

### 3/5 — Almost perfect

*2025-06-06, version 2.2*

So, this is basically a YouTube client that only shows you ASMR and sleepy stuff.  Which is exactly what I wanted.  It’s so hard to go into YouTube and not get stuck watching other stuff when you had opened it intending to go to sleep.  But this app is just buggy and missing basic features.  Like, you can’t change the order of the videos in a playlist once you’ve made it.  And it regularly crashes while editing playlists.  Then again, I can’t seem to find any other app that does this at all. Most of the ASMR apps  are paid subscriptions for sites with WAY less content than there is for free on YouTube. I see people complaining about ads, since this is obviously a YouTube client, you could give us a way to log into our YouTube account to avoid the ads, at least for folks that subscribe to YouTube.  The last update looks like it was two years ago, so I don’t have a lot of hope about the issues being corrected.  But maybe he’s still making changes in the web side?

### 3/5 — Good but has an annoying bug

*2025-06-04*

The app is great and I love being able to fall asleep to a video without it completely draining my battery. There is one problem though. Every week I have to delete and re download the app because it won't let me watch anymore videos. On my screen it says something like "please sign it to confirm you are not a robot." but I cant figure out how to sign in. Please let me know if there is a way to sign in or if it is a glitch.

### 1/5 — Won't load

*2025-05-24, version 2.2*

Tried over like 30 times but it won't load for me and it probably doesn't work for other people to if you can please fix this so more good reviews and help people sleep, reduce anxiety and more please.

### 2/5 — Good app but has a lot of issues.

*2025-05-10, version 2.2*

I’ve been using this app for a few months now and i’ve noticed many bugs and issues to the point where there are more negatives than there are positives. This app is free and has no ads which hasn’t always been the case. 

•The audio quality on the videos isn’t the best.

•The actual videos themselves don’t work very well and often break your screen. Sometimes if you play a video and go onto another app it stops playing and if you turn your phone sideways the app breaks and sometimes the app sometimes crashes when you turn your screen and play another video.

•A lot of the time if you play a video it will come up with an error message saying “ERROR: Sign in to confirm you’re not a bot, this helps protect our community. Learn more” i don’t understand why it says this due to the fact that the app doesn’t have any options to sign in and the you cannot do anything with the message to learn more either.

•Some videos you choose to watch simply won’t play and will continuously load endlessly, this isn’t an issue with your connection since it does it with your videos you have downloaded for offline use too.

### 1/5 — It doesn’t work anymore.

*2025-04-26, version 2.2*

I loved this app! And it just up and died on me.

### 1/5 — Beyond annoyed  😠 😩😤😡

*2025-04-09, version 2.2*

I’m giving the app a 1 ⭐️ for multiple reasons. Whenever I look up any like meditation music to sleep too. I’m upset with this app that it won’t play anything or continue to the next asmr video I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled it and I’ve cleared out everything on my phone for more data space and still nothing changed ! I want to keep using this app cause I love to listen to my favorite asmrs from YouTube up here without adds. But with all these problems it’s becoming impossible and I feel like breaking down

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Great when it works

*2025-09-12, version 2.2*

As others have stated you have to delete and reinstall. Now with iOS 26 I can’t get it to work at all. Please fix it as this is an amazing app.

### 1/5 — Dead App

*2025-09-12, version 2.2*

Used to be great, now it simply doesn’t work. Why is it still available….?

### 1/5 — Sad it’s so broken

*2025-09-11, version 2.2*

I loved this app for years. Then it got glitchier over time. Like I couldn’t put it on full screen anymore or it would cover the button to go reduce it like it was off screen or something. Can’t delete videos from library or playlist or delete playlists. It shows a list of old searches that don’t change and if I make a new search it removes my recent old search never to remember it again. Doesn’t actually show the full history of what I’ve watched, just the recent one replacing the last one over and over. And suddenly today I’m only able to play a few videos from the home page. Everything else keeps saying unavailable and it “plays” a 1:33 long long black screen over and over. Even tried shutting my phone off. I’ve already deleted the app before and I don’t want it to make it worse. Please fix and bring my sleep app back to me.(3/29/24) 

Edit: (3/30/24) I should mention I basically use this app daily. Almost every night, if not a few times a day depending on my tasks and schedule. Today videos started working again. As for my last sentence to the previous paragraph “Please fix and bring my sleep app back to me.” I was incredibly tired and haven’t been sleeping great. It was almost 5am. Though at this time I am so happy to have it functioning at a usable capacity. It still needs lots of work.

Edit: (9/11/25) The glitches as of late are I try to start a video and it says can’t be found or won’t play try again. If I click on any video it days the same thing. But if I immediately try the last vid it will suddenly load. So it’s a game of oh let’s watch this mom it’s broke but come back and it’s fine. Annoying. After several days of that now nothing is loading. The app actually crashes if I try and re-select a video that wouldn’t load to try and load it again. Been stuck with poor Spotify asmr. I hate all the glitches from this app but am too stubborn to find a new asmr app. I’ll be here until it crashes and burns but will still complain of the smoke.

### 1/5 — none of the videos are streaming

*2025-09-10, version 2.2*

none of the videos are streaming everything just sons forever

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work most of the time

*2025-08-10, version 2.2*

The app keeps getting stuck and now has stopped working for me entirely

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work at All

*2025-07-25, version 2.2*

This app was great initially, but NOTHING works anymore. It opens up like it’s going to work then loads forever and doesn’t allow you to search for anything. Don’t bother downloading anything its pointless!

### 1/5 — Buggy Mess

### 1/5 — Can’t play any videos.

### 5/5 — SO COZY but a few problems

*2025-10-11*

### 5/5 — App Doesn’t Work

*2025-09-06*

### 5/5 — Amazing!

Works amazing it has anything your want and more and is super nice 5 stars PERFECT chefs kiss

### 5/5 — Amazing just a tiny problem with signing in and the audio

*2024-11-14*

This app is amazing and I would recommend it to everyone! But the audio keeps freezing up to where it stop working and when I try to listen to an audio about self harm since i struggled with it in the past it won’t let me listen without signing in even though I don’t know how. It’s a great app all that needs to be fixed are those two things!

### 5/5 — update

*2024-10-20, version 2.2*

i appreciate u guys fixing the issue where we needed to sign in to watch a video, despite there being no sign in button. great app, always loved it

### 5/5 — AWSOME

*2024-09-27, version 2.2*

This app has my full respect.
It literally CHANGED MY LIFE!
I have a screen time limit, so I can’t listen to ASMR on youtube after 9pm, so this really helped.
I love how you included all ASMRtists!
I personally love OzleyASMR, and was afraid you wouldnt have her on here!
One thing i dont like is something I assume everyone will guess.
Ads.
Now for me theres only like 1-2 ads every week to month! so its better than some games I play, also I love how there are no ads when you are watching a video, so it dosen’t disturb what your watching.
5 stars!
Thank you for inventing this app.
Me, and my mom love it.
Well my mom just likes hearing about how much I like this app, haha!
This app changed by sleep schedule from falling asleep at 1, and waking up at like 8 in the morning when I’m supposed to be at school, 
To falling asleep at 9, when I’m supposed to be in bed, and waking up at 6-7!
Great amount of time to get ready for school, my school starts at 8:45!
Recommend this to people with screen limits, or who cant watch youtube, but love asmr, and for people who’s sleep schedules are worse than my messy room, haha!
Can’t thank the developers of this app enough.
Thanks!
Love from Australia :)
