Really bad

You can only listen to sounds for free the rest is paying. That's why I'm not keeping this app its horrible. I wish I could do 0 stars

Amazing but expensive

As someone who struggles with mental health I have found this app to be helpful over the years, I remember back when it was called Sleepmelodies. I wish there was more sleep tales and meditations that were free. We live in a world where it’s hard to access mental health services. I’ve been lucky and I try to get a subscription when it’s on sale.

Keeps crashing

Whenever I open the app it’s just a black screen. I have to delete it and redownload it every time I use it.

Honest reaction

Honestly it’s goid ok I really like it I use it almost every night but later on when u have the app for a long time more and more sounds become where u have to pay for premium ir what ever and I think it’s kinda dumb bc it’s 34 dollars a month and I can’t pay that much money for nouse but other than that II really like the app like it sounds so realistic and I lived the thunderstorm one but now I would have to pay to listen to that one and in just bumbed

everything costs money

the app used to be so helpful for when I slept, and eventually I stopped using it. I’ve recently come back to it but can’t even access the app without paying or using the free trial. It’s such a shame

Great App

Love the functionality, I use the free version and I’m very happy with it.

Pay to Use

I’ve been using this app since around 2018-2019ish when it used to be called Relax Melodies, it used to be good, a lot of variety but they still had their little vip sounds which is okay but then they got greedy and started making every sound that was free, cost money to use, and now there is barely any free sounds available, makes me shake my head.

Frustrating

This app is very inconsistent. Every time I open it everything has moved around. When I want to go bed, I don’t want to have to figure out where my favorites are and literally from one day to the next it is somewhere else. Also, the recent version the volume is too low, even when I turn up my phone volume to the max.

You will not get your free trial

Once you put in your card, you will be charged for the year. NO customer service!

Prefect but then $70 per year

Used for years when it first came out. Now charges $70 a year. Absolute crazy pricing.

Disappointed

I’ve used this app for at least 12 yrs and I have loved it. However, now I can’t use it at all unless I upgrade and will have to pay, this was a great free app and now it’s all about the money ! I will not be upgrading and I will be deleting this!! Let the people who want all the fancy features pay but keep the basic features free. You’ve lost me as a supporter. Such a shame, please do better.

This is insane

I only had a free trial for an amount of time then it is 70 bucks a year

A true lifesaver for sleep quality

The sound quality is gorgeous, there are no annoying ads interrupting your peace, and the audio mixing flexibility is top-notch. I set up my favorite sound blend every night and drift off effortlessly. Perfect for anyone who is a light sleeper or needs a little help unwinding!

They ruined it.

Everything in it you have to pay for now. It’s crazy having this app for 3 years and now im deleting it because all you guys did was make it pay to use. Sad excuse adding less than 10 sounds to even mix with why allow us to use the whole panel a year ago and now you have to pay instead of making new ones. Nothings ever free inflation sucks.. but really?

More stories

Please add new sleep stories. None have been added since last year. May have to look for new stories elsewhere.

Barley any sounds

Basically everything is behind a paywall now. Sound that used to be available for free are no longer ,and the selection for free sounds are no more than 5.

Not free anymore

I used this app for years. And I loved it. It cost money to use most of it now. Deleted it. Sad that greed has taken over.

Can't turn it off!!! Not free after a week

Can't turn it off!!! Not free after a week .
Nice music

Used to be wonderful, now terrible money grab

This used to be a wonderful app. Then they added premium and more sounds and features for premium, but a lot of flexibility for free accounts. Every year what’s available for free dwindles. Now nearly every single sound is locked behind a paywall. I don’t even want the dumb meditations you flood my screen with popup ads for. I don’t want audiobooks and podcasts and content. This was a free white noise app and now it’s just unusable garbage.

My pro access was taken away for subscription model

I’m disappointed that the sounds I use that work well are suddenly behind another Pro access paywall even though I have already payed for a one time lifetime access in-app purchase. I’ve literally had this app for ten years and I remember when the sounds were free. I don’t like subscriptions so I’m sad that’s not an option anymore I guess
