I could not get past the awful background music to a relaxed state. My heart rate increased and I became tense. I hope they download an update with a soundtrack similar to the ones in confidence, success or get fit. ### 2/5 — Bit of a shame as his others are great... *2013-07-22* I have a few of Andrew's apps and have found them to be nothing short of brilliant and, more importantly, doing exactly what they say they will - which is why this one was a surprise. I listened to this a couple of times but each time woke up feeling cross and angry. I use the apps to fall asleep to and have the contained messages repeated and they've worked, but this one just made me feel tense, on edge and out of sorts. If Andrew could have a rethink on the content of this one (not just for little ole me obviously!) and maybe follow the more positive formats of his others then I'd defo give it another shot, but this one is not for me I'm afraid xx ### 2/5 — Misses the mark *2013-03-27* For me, anyway. The central visualization of this program, stopping time, is my perfect fantasy! Not the purgatory that's supposed to incite me to action. Also, I procrastinate because I perceive the task as more unpleasant than the status quo, so visualizing how 'terrible' it is to live with the unfinished task is ineffectual. I'm already living with it, I don't have to visualize it. The functionality of the app is nice though. ### 2/5 — Nice try but... *2013-03-13* Get this man a drink of water immediately!! I usually love Andrew Johnson's apps but this one in particular annoyed me. In the most crucial relaxing points in the audio, you could hear him trying to moisten his mouth or swallowing hard. On such clear audio, it was VERY distracting. Not worth the 2.99...just go do what you're putting off doing. ### 3/5 — Beneficial *2013-03-10* I've really grown fond of Andrew Johnson's meditation apps. I've seen positive results for many of them. I also appreciate their use of sound business ethics. There is a glitch that I would like to be fixed and think that it could be easily done. In the options menu you can change outcomes of the recorded message, sleep or wake. The problem is that there is a notable pause in sound that is disruptive to the meditation when it switches towards the end. I'd give it four and half stars if this wasn't occurring. ### 2/5 — Hard to understand *2013-02-11* Normally these are quite good but found the accent hard to understand with this one. ### 5/5 — Love Andrews Apps *2012-09-26* I have a few of Andrews apps and im a fan.. But this one is freaking me out.. In a good way. I don't know if it is psychological or how he works his magic but the truth is I'm getting lots of stuff done (including writing this review, kind of think I always meant to do and never do).. And I'm enjoying it. I'm usually quite productive but being super productive is ace. ### 4/5 — Give this a try! *2012-08-29* I'm not sure why there are ever negative reviews for AJ apps unless it's an actual issue with the recording. He does exactly what he promises in each app. I have most of them and use them regularly. I love the Get Fit, Stress Free, Confidence, Procrastination, Healing, Pain Free, Deep Sleep, and Success. I work way too much and these apps help with stress, motivation, confidence before meetings or presentations and muscle pain from sitting too long at the computer. The Get Fit is also excellent for motivation. If you don't like the Procrastination, try the Get Fit, the messages are great for motivation. ### 5/5 — Awesome! Life changing! *2012-04-18* I love your work! I can't get enough of it. Keep up the great work Andrew! From: Saskatchewan, Canada ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work anymore *2021-05-26* I thoroughly enjoyed this app. I have many of Andrew’s apps and love listening to them. This one, and a few others, are no longer working. They don’t even open when trying to access them. Huge disappointment. ### 1/5 — What is this *2020-01-05* Did i really just pay for one singular guided meditation ### 1/5 — music and reminders dont work on iphone 6 / ios 8+ *2015-06-03, version 8.32* Used to use it a lot!! Since I purchased new iphone 6, the music and reminders of the app stopped working... Paid for it... Developer says that was updated in May 2015 but same problem persist. Sad end for a great app! ### 1/5 — Unusable *2014-04-24, version 8.31* This app does not run on IOS 7.1.1 I have used this app for over a year on IOS5 (on iPhone 4S) but since upgrading to iPhone 5S running IOS7 the application crashes on start up. In its current state the app is useless and frankly should not be on sale in the App Store. ### 1/5 — Crash *2014-04-24* Paid £2 for an app that doesn't even play? Crashes whenever you try to begin the session. ### 1/5 — Weird *2013-04-06, version 6.1* Had strange dreams and woke up exhausted. Not sure what the difference is but I don't plan to keep it. ### 1/5 — Dissapointed *2013-03-03* I am quite disappointed with this app. I really wasn't expecting this as I have purchased a few other apps from Andrew's collection. Quite difficult to follow and rather confusing than clear and straightforward. : ( ### 1/5 — Ouch! *2013-02-08* His apps are great, but this one blows. The tenor is negative and punishing, anxiety producing and created feelings of lamenting and sadness for me because of my procrastination. Did not encourage me to be productive or to move forward as much as it created anxiety. Too heavy in the beginning on stating how uncool it is to waste time, makes it hard to hear the second part where we are meant to shift to becoming unstuck. Andrew, please redo this one, it does not work for everyone to be "kicked then kissed." ### 1/5 — Meh *2013-01-31, version 6.1* Only made it half way through. Made me feel worse. Hopeless. Anxiety provoking. ### 1/5 — Anxiety provoking *2013-01-07* I have routinely listened to his aps to go to sleep since I tried lose weight 3 years ago. I love all of the 9 I own. Except this one. I found myself extremely anxious the next day, which is just not me. I haven't even been able to give it a second try, the effect was just that bad. I immediately went back to "stress free" and "positivity" as my heavy rotators- they work! Maybe I'll try this one again when I have a day to waste & a few days to recover, assuming the same effects. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — That is the real deal!!!! *2016-12-06* I was skeptical but, it really moved me - super pleasant at the same time. I really need to decompress with these AJ sessions. Can't wait for another! ### 5/5 — No BS this works *2015-11-04* I'm not running around multi tasking but it subtlety has produced noticeable changes I am really feeling. I believe it's one of his best. If nothing else my nerves are calmer and I want to get these done that I haven't wanted to do in 3 yrs. ### 5/5 — This actually works for me. *2015-10-16, version 8.32* This app helps give me a kick in the butt. I'll find myself getting things done. ### 5/5 — Great procrastination hypnosis *2015-06-12* Andrew Jonson's are the only apps I don't mind paying for, because I know it will deliver. And I was right again. Great tool, nice to know that your mind is in the hands of a professional. Not to mention the voice...! ### 5/5 — I should be doing homework but I decided to buy this app *2015-03-24* It's kind of funny that procrastinating is what led me to buy this app lol. But i love all of Andrew Johnsons apps! They have helped me through a lot! I recommend any of his apps you think would be useful!! ### 5/5 — It was beautiful and it made sense! *2014-08-21* This meditation starts with Andrew Johnson's regular relaxation induction. It prepares you for the part where he speaks about Procrastination and overcoming it. His voice is very soothing and relaxing but it is not boring. You really listen to him and it's okay to drift off because you naturally come back to listening to him and all the positive things he has to say. I really enjoyed the part about making you aware about time when time stops. You will understand this but when you listen to the meditation. I know that if I keep listening to this it will keep giving me the results that I want. Andrew Johnson's meditation have been the answer to a lot of the problems that I have been having. Besides this recording I use the Deep Sleep and Deep Relaxation meditations. ### 5/5 — Does what it says on the tin. *2014-08-02* This helps me hugely. My mother will be using these sort of things to help cope with pain after her heart operation this month. Many thanks GL ### 5/5 — Amazing. Really works!! *2014-05-13* I kept postponing downloading this app, but finally did. That night I was too tired to listen to it and the next morning I didn't have time. Really. The next night, I finally listened to it... When I woke up, I organized the chester drawer and closet!! I couldn't believe it. It really works. I've also bought many others apps by Andrew Johnson and I am hooked! Get fit is really inspiring and positive. And deep sleep is excellent. I highly recommend his apps. ### 5/5 — Love it *2014-04-27* I love the accent n calm voice, no fake irritating tone, just calm deep voice. Many times I fell asleep half way there which is good from relaxation point of view and letting go of the stress, but he is really motivating, and as I have been stuck with writing for over a year now, since I started listening to this app on and off I have managed to progress quite a bit. I still have a long way to go, but at least I don't doubt my ability to finish no where near as much as I initially did. Thank you for creating this app :) ### 5/5 — Changed my life *2012-12-11* This app seriously changed my life. I no longer put things off, and I have become more productive than ever before. My apartment stays clean and I'm organized. Thank you Andrew Johnson. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
