Anybody help? X **Developer response:** Sorry to hear this, please try re-installing the app. 1. Make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi and signed in with the same Apple ID. 2. On the home screen hold down the app icon for a few seconds and press X. This will uninstall the app. 3. Then go to the App Store and tap on More... then Purchased. Or on iPad just tap Purchased (bottom right). 4. Re-download the app. 5. Open the app. 6. Press Restore (top right) a few times. You may find that turning your phone on and off again and then reopening the app fixes it. ### 4/5 — it works *2013-06-02* Expensive but it works. ### 3/5 — It's alright *2012-12-30, version 4.0* Works 4/10 times, but then again, I'm not good at sleeping... But I guess that's why I got this app... ### 4/5 — Thank you, mister Harrold! *2012-04-06, version 4.0* I have had trouble getting into sleep for a long time now, due to sleep apnea. This app helped me not only to fall asleep, but also to relieve muscular tension. Neither too fast nor boring, surprisingly effective for me. First time I tried hypnosis. I recommend this app as well as "Relax & sleep well" from the same author. ### 4/5 — Love it *2012-01-23* Good app for those who struggle to relax ### 3/5 — Hmm *2012-01-20* U go to sleep.... U go to sleep... U go to sleep.....? Hmm nope! I'm still pretty much awake after listening to this. I yawned here and there but I'm afraid didn't work for me. Disappointing. Update: although I don't fall asleep straight away after listening to this I do believe when I wake up in the morning I feel refreshed in the morning than I usually would. Before I used to be reluctant to get out of bed but after listening to this I am able to jump out of bed straight away. Coincidence maybe or does hypnosis really work? ### 5/5 — fall asleep everytime *2011-11-11* What a great download ### 5/5 — Eeeeeeeeeeeek *2011-10-28* You are awesome :) you're apps help so much especially before my dance competitions and exams when I'm stressing out. They've helped so much to relax, and your lucid dreaming app WORKS thank you loadssssss ### 5/5 — GREAT *2011-10-27* Its weird and all how it puts you to sleep but i wake up in the morning and dont remember falling asleep!I dont have any sleep abneia or anything i jus DONT sleep at all. This app fixes it all! Thanks!!!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Shocked *2011-10-25, version 1.0* This was a great app until it stopped working a few weeks ago . ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Piece of crap hack *2015-08-20* I bought deep sleep a few years ago. Got removed via the cloud and I just paid four bucks for the exact same thing... Only difference is the musical intro. The guy is a money stealing hack. ### 1/5 — Doesn't open on ios8. Fix it *2014-10-27, version 4.0* Not good ### 1/5 — No longer works *2014-10-24* Since the latest iOS update, this program no longer works at all. It was really great in getting me to sleep. The program will now not even open. On my iPhone and iPad, I press the app button then the program makes the screen flash and then return to the home screen. Please update this program to work with the new iOS. ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2012-10-31* I just downloaded this and I feel like I just paid for the same thing I just bought when I purchased his deep sleep hypnosis meditation. What a scam to make more money. I want a refund. Shame on you Glenn. ### 1/5 — Don't buy this app *2012-07-06* Not worth the money only one track that stops randomly forcing you to reset it not conducive to relaxing I WANT MY MONEY BACK I would give it a minus star if I could, can't use it because it won't play straight through to expensive and yes this is my opinion what else would I put here ### 1/5 — No sleep *2012-03-23* I've experienced hypnosis and this is a really poor app. It's simply too short and being told "you go to sleep" doesn't do for me. The setup is too short, if you are struggling to relax then it takes much longer to calm down enough for anything to be effective. I really wish it would work because I've been having real trouble sleeping lately. I've even put this on a loop and can listen thought the whole thing three times before switching it off as it ends up being annoying and counter productive. ### 1/5 — $5 for a guy to tell you repeatedly: go to sleeeeep, go to sleeeeeeeeeep! *2012-01-19* Dont waste your money with this app, 20 minutes of this guy repeating himself by just saying "go to sleep, go to sleeep, go to sleeeeeeeeep".... He starts by giving a very quick and not very relaxing breathing instruction, he has a very flat and not very soothing voice and it even feels creepy with the effects that he puts on the 20 minute "sleep hypnosis" so dont waste your money and instead either..1: count sheep, 2: go to walgreens and use those $5 to buy sleeping pills, or 3: look for another app that has better reviews and that its not so expensive. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2012-01-06* Really slapped together interface. Full of bugs. Horrible, horrible voice narration. Not effective and not worth the money. I almost want to write a sleep app myself because it probably took this developer 15 minutes to write this one. One word Pzizz. ### 1/5 — Fix!! *2011-10-28, version 1.1* Oct 27- still broken, audio cuts out when screen goes to sleep or is locked Please fix this!!! ### 1/5 — Won't work after IOS 5 update! *2011-10-25, version 1.0* Please fix!!!! I love this app!!!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Indeed the BEST *2025-03-04* As a respectful fan of Mr. Harrold’s for 10+ years, I really don’t know how I missed this one! He is one of a kind, and this app is unbelievably and magically effective! I wish I found this sooner. Truly grateful for Mr. Harrold and everyone involved in developing and producing these tools that help us in so many ways. Thank you so very much. **Developer response:** Very many thanks for your valued support and glad to hear you are enjoying the app. Best regards, Diviniti ### 5/5 — Great sleep aid *2019-05-14* I have been using this app for several years. I found that it is one of the best apps to help me fall asleep. I have a racing mind and take sleeping medication and still need help. This app puts me to sleep every time! Highly recommend. ### 5/5 — Works for me! *2015-03-15* Good to find you as an app Glenn! I used your CD's 17 years ago after having my sleep pattern broken by my newborn. Now I am experiencing different challenges and stresses that resulted in the same break of sleep. It's like finding an old friend and good to find and app with an English voice! **Developer response:** Thank you for such a complimentary review of our Deep Sleep app. All the best, Diviniti Publishing. ### 5/5 — Fits the name perfectly *2014-09-23* This is my 'I can't sleep without it' app. I have sleep problems but each time I'm using that app since more than a year, I'm always falling asleep in less than 10 min. But now, since iOS 8 update, the app is not working anymore. I don't blame the app developer for this problem as it i normal with a new OS. I'm just curious to know if there is any plan to update the app to make it compatible with iOS8? Seriously, I wasn't able to get a good night sleep without this app. Thanks ### 5/5 — Instant Sleep *2012-08-13* I was a chronic insomniac till I started listening to this meditation. Need to listen to it every night as it took a little time to work, I think it is great and recommend it highly. ### 5/5 — I heart Glenn Harrold!!! *2012-07-08* I have now tried every single sleep app and this guy is hands down the best!! I use the free one 2 months ago (and for someone who does NOT sleep and narcoleptic!) I literally woke up in the exact same position WITH my headphones still on and my iPhone laying on me!! This guy is truly talented. Not sure why I debated so long about a $5 app, absolutely worth it! His voice is soothing and nothing really quirky or bothersome like another one I have and she says "body" about 15x in first 10 min! Go get it and go to bed :-D ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2012-06-06* Excellent app, worth buying it... Relex your mind... Motivate you, restart your mind... And begin a new life... ### 5/5 — 👼👼👼Don't be fooled 😃😃😃😃 *2012-05-26* 🌷Okay! Please note everyone's ratings are there opinions, you can download free versions of glenn Harold and hear his style of voice recording before buying, and he has a very mono tone voice, but in saying that I'm always asleep with in 10-15mins. I suffer from Insomnia and anxiety and even 50mg sleeping pills werent doing the trick. ✨✨#1 trick to any hypnosis is if you feel your mind going else where focus on his voice just listen to what he says n it had helped me amazingly. ✨✨ 🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴 Just remember these are people's point if views on his style. It's not horrible it's just not for them. !! Also it never stops half way the balance of the recording goes left to right speaker to create a surround sound effect if one isn't working then it would appear like its loosing the sound. Best app! Thank you! 👍👍👍👍 ### 5/5 — Amazing *2011-12-29* Had a big today so I downloaded this last night because I wasn't tired at all. Worked within ten minutes. I guess it put me into a deeper than usual sleep because I woke up fresh and without the alarm. If anything changes I'll update the post but awesome so far ### 5/5 — Like it *2011-12-18* I like this app - used it maybe 10 times so far and always sends me off to sleep nice one glen! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
