DOES NOT count total sleep hours if you wake at night

šŸ˜‘ Doesn’t take into consideration if you wake up and go back to sleep, so it constantly records that I only sleep 5ļøāƒ£ hours even though my Apply watch and Health App successfully record that I wake up and go back to sleep and sleep closer to seven or eight. Anyone else? Sleep sounds are nice tho.

It’s a good app

Records LESS sleep than I actually do

Biggy AF

This app needs to recognize that some people go to bed after midnight sometimes. There are way too many bugs; most of the time, it gets stuck on whatever I did three days ago.

Download don’t work

I purchased the premium subscription and have followed all of the directions to be able to download sleep stories to listen to off-line and none of them work. The documentation seems very clear, but none of the troubleshooting options seem to actually work. Total waste of time.

Some features don’t cross over

Got this because I mainly use Calm for its sleep stories but I’m sad so say some important features don’t cross over. First, you can’t make playlists like you can in the Calm app. If you choose a sleep story, that’s the only one you can listen to. Or, if you do a mix of things, that’s too bad in this app. Second, there’s no timer. So when you fall asleep you may still hear sounds and re-awaken. I was excited about this app and sad to see it fall short.

Totally awesome

I’m 11 and this really helped me fall back to sleep when I have a nightmare. It’s also very helpful when I want to feel calm before I go to bed with meditation.

Rightist

Grunting

OMG #5

Love it so much

Navigation weakness - Can’t choose from all stories

As a former user of Calm - mainly for the sleep stories - I was very excited for this app and signed up asap.

Expected a few early issues but months later these issues are not resolved.

1. No way to find old sleep story favorites from calm without knowing name or narrator. There is no ā€œall sleep storiesā€ list of all like on calm app.

2. So often there are stories that simply don’t load when you click on them. Even when they are featured, like Harry Styles.

I gave two stars bc at least some stories work. But overall the app is a disappointment.

Not much content unique from the original Calm app

App is quite buggy, so the additional features aren’t all that useful. But, there are a couple sleep meditations on Calm I like, and figured, for a whole separate subscription cost, there would be more content. Maybe there are a few more stories? As far as meditations, there was nothing new. Nor in soundscapes. Not worth a second subscription for sure. Canceled during free trial and went back to Calm.

What’s the point of this app?

Found this app by accident whilst trying to work out why the main one stopped working.
Downloaded it, signed in using their oneID which implied I’d be able to use it & get hit with a subscription paywall.
Agreed to pay despite already being a fully paid member in the other Calm app, start exploring - nothing works. Nothing will play.
Not sure what the point of this app is other than being branded for sleep, but the main Calm app also has a sleep section, so I’m confused as to why you’d have 2 apps, with 2 separate subscriptions that appear to do the same things.
Uninstalled & cancelled subscription.

Dreamscape

I have enjoyed this app immensely. I have not been able to sleep since my daughter passed away two years ago. Thank you for the sleep and the dreams.

It sucks

I used the regular calm app for years and loved it. When the new calm sleep app came out they stopped offering new sleep stories weekly on the regular app, saying the new stories were being released every week on calm sleep. So I then switched to this app thinking It would be better all around and I would continue or get new content. I rarely see a new sleep story, it definitely is not being released every week. The interface sucks, it’s so hard to use and it doesn’t offer a large library like the original app did. It’s a total rip off, making this app was a complete waste of time. Why do you need to laugh a specific ā€œsleepā€ app when the original Calm offered it all? It sucks and I won’t renew. I’m so sad I paid for it to begin with thinking I was getting something upgraded but was sadly mistaken. Idk how it has over 4 stars cause it’s awful. Don’t waste your money.

love calm!

i have struggled with insomnia for years, but this app really helped! i would recommend erik braa for the sleepstories - his voice lulls me right to sleep.

Subscription based app

This is a subscription based app, which means you’ll never own it and will have to keep paying forever just to use it. No matter how well made an app is, if it’s a subscription based app, it is a bad app. There is no such thing as a good subscription based app. Avoid at all costs

Calm

Been great but . . .

Some better integration with the Apple ecosystem is needed. Go to airdrop what I’m playing to the Apple HomePod and the sounds, music etc doesn’t transfer. Might play for awhile but cuts off not to long after. Same goes for main app too! Not sure if I’m doing something incorrectly or some sort of update is needed.
