### 1/5 — useless

*2026-09-03, version 26.16*

didn’t help me sleep at all….

### 2/5 — No new stories in years

*2026-09-03, version 26.16*

I’ve had this app for years, and it works well to help with sleep but they never upload their meditations or stories. There has not been anything new in years. And I know everything by heart now. I find it crazy that we have to pay for an app that doesn’t update its content library.

### 5/5 — Better than the rest.

*2026-09-01, version 26.16*

Tried a bunch, 
This is Truly the best of the rest.
So many options .
Options within options.
Continually adding features, options and improvements.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2026-09-01, version 26.16*

Paid $5 last year for lifetime membership and now the app is locked requiring a new subscription. Shady. Deleting.

### 1/5 — Great then horrible

*2026-08-31, version 26.16*

When I first downloaded it I had access to plenty of sounds, not a lot, but enough. Then they locked almost all of them behind premium

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2026-08-31, version 26.15*

I have loved this app for a year. I pay for a yearly subscription. Tonight when I tried to use my saved sound, I was notified I have to pay more each month to use these sounds. Very disappointing!

### 1/5 — Use another sound app

*2026-08-29, version 26.15*

i used this app to help me sleep for around 7 years. now 1/5 of my favorite sounds are free. the rest are behind a paywall. better off searching all the sounds you want together on youtube. i even used it at my job to help my classroom. that’s no longer possible as well. extremely disappointed. don’t even bother.

### 1/5 — Started charging

*2026-08-29, version 26.15*

I would give it more stars this is a good app but now it just wants you to pay will I’m not paying for it I’m struggling enough and it does help me sleep better but I guess I’ll have to find another app

### 1/5 — Not happy: quit working

*2026-08-29, version 26.15*

I’m on a subscription and have lost everything that I’ve saved . Shows that I have a free subscription yet support said renewal went through in July for another year . I’ve lost everything: playlists favorites , sounds. All gone and ads saying to upgrade. Any suggestions ?  I’m pretty discouraged.  I’ve shut down my phone , delete. And re installed the app and still , I’m being shown ads to buy a subscription which I’ve had and pay for every year for probably 3 or 4 yrs now . App
Says I’m logging in , my name shows in the greeting too but nothing can play unless I pay again it seems .

### 5/5 — The sleep is better!

*2026-08-29, version 26.15*

I have been using this app since 2013! It was recommended to me by a teacher I had. Been sleeping better ever since. Can’t sleep without it! Love the changes they’ve made to the app since first download and I’m excited to see what is in store for the app next!
