Me and my sister tried to do it and we really want it but we didn’t have any money for it again if you have money for it I definitely recommend you getting this app you can immediately tell that this app is professional totally recommended for the people that have money for it. Doesn’t have to be for people that have problems with sleeping? this is an app for people that have trouble sleeping and people that are perfectly fine with sleeping recommended.🙂 ### 4/5 — It would be good to have a choice of theta noise *2019-01-05, version 4.0.2* Would really appreciate the pink noise without engine vibration element. Just waves or a natural sound. I'm the sort that can't sleep in hotels with a ventilation fan humming constantly, or who'll pad around a house trying to work out where the vague machine humming is coming from. Rain or waves excellent. Quite an expensive app. Would be good to have a couple of theta choices or the chance to preview before buying. Appreciate this isn't the goal of the app.... But still. Also, pls note my email address which terminates in.eu isn't recognised, although I'm happy to see logging in isn't necessary. But for those who do want to share their email addresses with you, this could impact other European Union users. Quite a lot of emails terminate in.eu here. I'd hoped to contact you via a ticket but can't and I'm guessing, after multiple captcha attempts, that I can't submit this because of the email, again. I'm guessing it's that because there is no indication, when trying to submit a ticket, of why it's blocking..... ### 5/5 — Great app *2016-07-27, version 3.2.1* Great app. Really like the ease of use & the sleeping portion - especially the loop option. It seems to work for me whenever I use it. Thanks ### 5/5 — Disappointed AGAIN *2016-07-18, version 3.2.1* I had used this successfully for several years. You fixed the problem where it loops continuously but have brought back the issue where it switches off when phone/IPad autolock. Not helpful!!! ### 4/5 — It works!! *2016-03-29, version 3.1.2* I've struggled with insomnia for years. After giving birth three months ago, it grew much worse. So on top of the normal sleep deprivation, I still couldn't sleep. This app has changed my life. I fall asleep easily now, usually before the session is finished. Even when I get up for feedings in the middle of the night I can use the app to fall back asleep if I have trouble. I don't have the anxiety I used to about sleep either. This is absolutely amazing. UPDATE: I started using this app again and while the hypnosis is still wonderful, I wish it would turn off when it's finished. I wake up many hours later to find my phone still on and my battery drained. Please fix! ### 5/5 — Meh *2016-02-10, version 3.1.2* Not a fan. App does not turn off when u complete a session. If you're asleep, why keep playing. Needs more user options to customize the experience. ### 4/5 — Finally Sleeping! *2016-01-04, version 3.1.2* I find his voice calming, but not crazy about the background music. ### 5/5 — zZzZzZz *2016-01-03, version 3.1.2* Best app I have came across. Used to have a lot of trouble sleeping, had been prescribed prescriptions before which didn't work and had tried other meditation apps which never worked. Been using sleep deeply every night for the past 8 months and it really does the trick! Full of helpful tips and little extras which is great! Plus I've not had a single pushy add! Bonus! Brilliant app to have if your struggling to nod of at night. ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2016-01-03, version 3.1.2* Excellent app. Really works well! ### 5/5 — Excellent *2015-11-30, version 3.1.2* I love this app ### 5/5 — Perfectl! *2015-11-19, version 3.1.2* I use this program every night. It's the best sleep app, period! ### 5/5 — Sleep Deeply *2015-09-12, version 3.1.2* Darren Marks is an excellent hypnotherapist. The app is easy to use, I have had no problems that the last review mentions. Sends me off to sleep nice and quickly, always before the end which is about 18 minutes. Loads of great extras free with this download. ### 5/5 — Worth it! *2015-08-16, version 3.1.2* I suffer from clinical insomnia, anxiety and panic attacks and my brain can never shut off. I've gone 3 or 4 days without sleep and it's miserable, I've tried a ton of medications both OTC and prescribed, seen many doctors and tried homeopathic treatments as well. Adding this to my sleep regimen has helped SOOOOO much. I use an app called brainwave in the background while I play his hypnosis and I am actually able to sleep 80% of the time. It's mind blowing honestly I will buy all of his apps when I can. If you also suffer from an overactive brain, anxiety, bipolar, insomnia or simply lack of sleep due to stress, I highly suggest you try this app. ### 5/5 — Very helpful! *2015-08-14* I love it! ### 5/5 — Much much much better! *2015-07-02, version 3.1.2* I am glad it was fixed. It was not working well. Now, it looks much better on iPhone 6+, and I am glad the sessions did not change because I really enjoy them. Thanks for updating it. ### 4/5 — Bring back the old setup! *2015-06-14, version 3.1.2* I like the sessions. The older setup before this new update was easier to navigate - everything right on the opening screen. And app picture of the girl instead of the simple, elegant blue square isn't appealing. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — You get nothing it’s all pay *2025-08-26, version 6.0.9* Only the 2 minute ad is free, so pointless. ### 1/5 — Did not understand how to use this app *2022-10-28, version 6.0.9* Too confusing ### 1/5 — Free today? *2021-02-14, version 5.0.0* Soo downloaded this app. So I seem to be required to sign up for a 7 day free trial. I do t understand how I saved $7.99, do you mean that it usually requires one to pay $7.99 in order to partake in a 7 day trial? I’m not willing to risk not canceling a trialSubscription, only to be billed $9.99 for my first month there after. It seems to me there or to be a better “free” version. ### 1/5 — Stops playing when screen locks *2015-04-15, version 3.0* I just saw another review of someone saying that this app doesn't work with iOS 8. They described the exact problem I'm having: the session will stop playing when the screen locks. Kind of useless when the point of the app is to help you sleep, but you have to keep the phone on and unlocked so the app will play. Wish I could have saved my $7. It's unfortunate too because I used to use Darren Marks' hypnotherapy exclusively and love his work. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work right with IOS8 *2015-01-23, version 3.0* Used to be a good app but it doesn't work with IOS8 - the playback stops when you lick you phone, so the only way to use it is to keep the phone live. Instead of fixing the app, a new subscription based one came out, so now you get to pay twice for this app if you really want it. I'll just go back to white noise tracks instead. ### 1/5 — Deep Sleep by Darren Marks *2013-05-04, version 3.0* This was one of the worst hypnosis apps I've come across. It was very short I was so irritated by his voice I couldn't get to sleep. Personally I couldn't possibly recommend. ### 1/5 — Absolute waste of money *2012-06-02, version 3.0* This is a terrible app. When he first starts speaking I thought his voice was a joke, can't understand how that is meant to be soothing. It's only 20 mins long which is not enough time to send u to sleep and it was so rubbish it didn't even relax me during this time. When it ended so quickly and I wasn't anywhere close to being asleep I ended up feeling furious and even further from sleep than before I started listening to the app. Do not waste your money, there are far better free hypnosis apps on here ### 1/5 — TOO SHORT... not worth it's money *2011-06-12, version 3.0* I did find this app relaxed me but not as much as others had which were free !! ### 1/5 — Deep sleep *2010-04-21, version 0* What a waste of money. Cuts out continually, hard to load, controls dong work...more frustrsting than not being able to get to sleep!! ### 2/5 — Does not *2016-12-28, version 3.2.1* Change tracks anymore. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — My go to! *2025-08-23, version 6.0.9* I’ve been listening to Darren marks sleep hypnosis for around 12 years. It works 95% of the time for me! The 5% it doesn’t is when I can’t switch off. I highly recommend him. ### 5/5 — Very helpful with insomnia *2025-01-14, version 6.0.9* I have used these sessions since 2013 (deep sleep, limiting beliefs, and weight loss). The ones that say “without wake up” have helped me go to and remain asleep many times. They are a treasure!!! Also, when I changed my phone and had technical difficulties, Darren was very patient and helped me solve my issue. Thank you Darren! 😊 ### 5/5 — Love this app ! Raving fan *2021-05-16, version 5.0.0* I work in lots of different time zones and need to grab sleep whenever I can , on a flight , mid afternoon , mid morning. I never normally make it past 4 minutes in before I am away fir 2”-40 minutes of deep sleep. I’ve also used it in the middle of the night when my head is spinning with work and life’s stresses. Strongly recommend the investment ### 5/5 — Sessions not opening *2020-04-17, version 4.1.1* The sessions won’t open on my phone, only the introduction audio works ### 5/5 — Avec un peu d’habitude *2019-06-20* Après plusieurs séances maintenant il ne me faut que quelques minutes pour (re)plonger dans un sommeil de bonne qualité. Il faut s’accrocher au début, il m’est arrivé de faire plusieurs séances d’affilée et maintenant je dors dès les 1ères phrases. Je ne crains plus les insomnies, j’ai la solution. ### 5/5 — Love this *2017-09-21, version 3.2.1* Am usually asleep within within minutes, absolutely amazing. Thank you ### 5/5 — Best nights sleep *2017-07-04, version 3.2.1* Not only does it help me fall asleep but I stay asleep longer and wake better rested. ### 5/5 — Puts me to sleep *2017-05-18, version 3.2.1* Love this app. ### 5/5 — Love it!!! *2016-12-02, version 3.2.1* Wonderful session to relax and recharge ### 5/5 — Relaxing, de-stressing and puts me to sleep *2016-09-11, version 3.2.1* I love this app. I've been using it for years now. Puts me into such a trance and immediately relaxes me or guides me into sleep depending on the recording.
