However recently it has been glitching so I can’t open it at all. I don’t want to have to pay for it a second time. ### 3/5 — Wake up? *2020-07-06* Why has the ability to set a wake time gone? I used to use this as a way to put an alarm on in a morning but can’t do it now ### 3/5 — Good, but *2015-03-02, version 8.34* I love all of the Andrew Johnson apps and have had great success with all of them my only problem is with this 'confidence' app, it settles you down into relaxation then when the last section comes on its way too loud and wakes you back up again - so you either have to not be fully asleep or get woken up. ### 4/5 — Mrs *2014-12-25, version 8.34* I would give Mr Andrew Johnson another half a star for a total of 4.5 stars if possible. He ranks higher because of his strong,easy to understand voice. The strength in his voice makes it easier to fall into trance and therefore, easier for my subconscious to follow his commands. My other favorite hypnotherapist is Joseph Clough. He's easy to understand as well. Also the speech given with his sessions are very well thought out and thorough. Both of these therapists' sessions are great deals as well. Thank You. ### 5/5 — Life changing *2013-09-30, version 6.1* I don't write too many reviews, but with Andrew Johnson's apps, I can't say enough good things about them. From day 1, they began working for me, and I love now going to sleep and waking with different ones. I'm ever grateful for them. ### 5/5 — Phenomenal! *2013-06-04, version 6.1* I don't normally do this but I can't get over how great this app is! It brings your to a place of peace and then suggests everything that it means to be confident. Something about his accent is very soothing too! You need to try this app for a more positive, confident you! ### 4/5 — Super relaxing *2013-05-21* After three nights of using the app I can't tell if the hypnotic suggestions are working, but man - this guy's app puts me out like kryptonite. Thanks for the speedy sleep. ### 5/5 — AMAZING! *2013-04-08* Honesty, this is brilliant. Sends me to sleep everytime without fail! And I'm waking up feeling so good! I recommend this to anyone who has trouble sleeping. The best. The app works perfectly and has has some great options. Thankyou Andrew you're the best! ### 5/5 — Very good program *2013-04-08, version 6.1* A great high was gained from using this app. I have had a session with a well respected hypnotherapist and found this to work may be even better (thanks to it's portable nature). It's easy to customise and us, and the hypnotherapists voice and manner work very well to build a calm trust. I will be buying more, and passing it on to my girlfriend. ### 5/5 — Excellent!!! *2013-03-23, version 6.1* Mad that I didn't find the app earlier!! ### 5/5 — First time user *2013-01-03* I used the app for the first time last night and I fell asleep very quickly, where usually it takes me hours. Great app. Love it ### 5/5 — Very effective *2013-01-01, version 6.1* This works very well ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2012-12-21, version 6.1* This has truly unlocked something in me which has opened my mind to a future full of opportunities. ### 5/5 — It does help... *2012-11-28* Well, I cannot honestly repeat what Andrew Johnson says in this app, because I always feel so relaxed that I drop asleep! I have used this app every night for two weeks - the recommended time period is at least three weeks - and I do feel much better for it. Always lacking in self-confidence enough to stand up for myself, now I feel more able to do so and, indeed, have done so very recently. Do try this app if you are looking for some confidence and there are others I am hoping to try shortly. Besides, Andrew has such a lovely voice! ### 5/5 — Love it *2012-11-22* I been buying some of his apps they all work great! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t get it *2022-01-03* I read the reviews and made a considered purchase- it’s literally just one guided meditation session on a Home Screen that you can replay None of the promises in the bio are delivered ### 1/5 — Version 9 unusable on iPhone se *2020-06-19* The initial screen to set up notifications isn't set up for the lower resolution of iphine SE so the confirmation buttons are off screen. This completely prevents use of the app. I gave previous versions of this app 5 stars for its content and usability. These new version 9 revisions changed up the interface but not for the better. For example I used to be able to set up instructions to skip since I've been using these apps for years. Now I can't figure out how to skip them. If they fix the issue I mentioned in the beginning then I'll bump my rating to 4 stars. ### 1/5 — Wish the app hadn’t changed *2020-06-18* Just noticed the new changes today and right off the bat the user experience is less than great. I preferred the way of setting up my session in the previous version. ### 1/5 — Upgrade does not work *2014-04-27, version 8.31* I enjoy this app but after the last upgrade it doesn't work. Pressing the begin button does absolutely nothing! ### 1/5 — Doesn't work after update. *2014-04-26, version 8.31* The app quit working after the recent update. Loads ok but is frozen and unresponsive after the 'Begin' button appears. I'm using an iPhone 4. ### 1/5 — Nnnnaaaaaaoooooooowwww.... *2012-11-08, version 6.1* Load of keek. Gets on your nerves never mind calming them... ### 1/5 — Confidence app ?? *2012-10-10, version 6.1* I downloaded the relaxation app which I found great so I thought I'd give the confidence one a go so I paid for it and was realy dissappointed as it was virtually the same as the relaxation one with no mention of confidence so won't b wasting my money on any others. ### 1/5 — deceiving app name! *2012-02-25, version 6.1* There are recordings that are better on the Internet for relaxation than this one. there are so many little things in this world that increases confidence; relaxation is one of them. There are better relaxation apps out there. ### 1/5 — Waste *2011-01-24* App would stop downloading or reset repetedly despite lots of space on iPhone. Total waste if time and money. ### 1/5 — Confidence more like Con-Man *2010-08-15* I have downloaded several Andrew Johnson recordings and can say with absolute certainty that many of the scripts he uses are staight out of a hypnotherapy manual. He is simple reading from a set of scripts used to teach LCCH Students (London College of Clinical Hypnotherapists). His Scottish accent is very soothing and for that reason his delivery is very effective. However he often gets tongue-tied (eg. "Imagine that you're at the Stop of a staircase"). The fact that such errors are not edited out just backs my point that he is amateurish and that the material he delivers is basic and not his own. At the end of the day if it works for you that's great. And at less than £2 it's worth it. I just feel he's stealing a living from us all. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome *2018-11-09* Love this App. It puts me in a complete zen! ### 5/5 — Feeling Strong Now! *2017-10-30* I can DEFINITELY tell a difference in my level of self confidence since using this app. I no longer feel nervous or unprepared or just plain dumb when I’m on an appointment. I honestly feel like “I can do this” as I’m heading to and during each appointment. ### 5/5 — Könnte ihm stundenlang zuhören *2017-06-11* Das ist jetzt schon die vierte App, die ich mir von Andrew Johnson geholt habe und ich bin begeistert. Möchte Sie nicht mehr missen und höre täglich rein. ### 5/5 — I am completely honest with reviews This is great *2015-11-04* I honestly think this one has been the best out of 6 I have tried. It was the last in the package I bought but the results after using this one have been the fastest. Set it to 1) skip into 2) long induction 3) sleep not wake 4) repeat twice. I'm a skeptic and would not advise you to pay a dime if it didn't work. I do wish that they would lower the price so more people could try it. But you do get what you pay for & Johnsons Aps pay for themselves every time ### 5/5 — Great track *2015-05-03* I love this tape, I've been listening to it for 2-3 years every time I can't sleep or am stressed. It's helped me increase my confidence at work and in life, and get to sleep when counting sheep doesn't work. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Great app *2015-02-03, version 8.34* I've tried quite a few of these type of apps and Andrew's are the best of the lot. I felt a difference straight away. I've also tried Andrew's social anxiety app and that is also great. ### 5/5 — Great powerful app! *2014-06-26, version 8.32* Love how it is broken down into parts. Love his voice. Felt deep relaxation. ### 5/5 — Perfect *2014-05-27, version 8.32* He says exactly what I am aiming to be in myself, I just hope all his positive suggestions make an impact to my subconscious! ### 5/5 — 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 *2014-05-03, version 8.32* Worth downloading! ### 5/5 — Love it *2013-11-10* This app is truly amazing. I loved how you guys made it. It must've taken a lot of time to write produce edit and add in the audio. Along with artwork and animations. And I'm just shocked at how much the price is set for the app. It's worth a lot more than the price. Regarding all the time it took for you guys to make this. :) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
