Don’t waste the money. ### 1/5 — I’ve subscribed but content still locked *2021-08-15, version 3.6.1* Where can I get help? ### 1/5 — Not hypnosis *2021-04-30, version 3.6.1* This app is terrible. It is a guy who starts the hypnosis by apparently sending subliminal messages but he has not actually hypnotised you. It’s a joke. ### 1/5 — Rip Off *2021-01-24, version 3.6.1* Do not pay for this. Most all content says unavailable for loading audio. Very disapointed ### 1/5 — Hypnosis on speed *2020-11-10, version 3.6.1* This hypnosis is not relaxing at all. The person talks so fast it’s like they are on speed. Definitely do NOT recommend ### 1/5 — This is hilarious *2020-05-03, version 3.6.1* It’s almost funny listening to this. 😂 don’t waste your time ### 1/5 — Tracks are way too fast!!! *2020-03-09, version 3.6.1* Tracks play way too fast. No time to breathe. Don’t waste your money. I did. ### 1/5 — Wow what a joke of an app *2019-11-05, version 3.6.1* This app is terrible the alcohol addiction video is 4 minutes long and the so called relaxing sounds can hardly be heard because it has pointless music in the background how this was ever allowed to be released is beyond me ### 1/5 — Absolute Rubbish *2018-04-04, version 3.6.1* This is not hypnosis - just a guy reading out a list. Don’t even bother - it’s a insult to one’s intelligence! ### 2/5 — I will give the app 2 stars and then I’ll delete it. *2020-10-27, version 3.6.1* Each sound, the male speaker repeats the same few lines at the ending. It’s triggered anger in me rather than “positive motivation” stopped about half way through each one because of reused material and script. Don’t even bother with this. Go pay for the “Well” app. It actually hypnotized me. Coolest alleviation ever. Ps, definitely still puffing on a marborol too, after the guaranteed quit smoking Knock off. 😒 ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Definitely a good support *2024-01-02, version 3.6.1* I have always suffered with dark thoughts, even though I am generally a very positive person. This stems from having not the greatest childhood or formative years, and an abusive marriage. I’ve used many different forms of self-help/Reiki/counseling, but this gets very expensive unless you have the funds to finance these modalities. I come across this app about a year ago as I was struggling with grief from losing my father, and leaning on every day, drinking to block out the sadness that I was experiencing. So when I stumbled on this app I thought what if I got to lose? Are used it religiously every day for about a month, and the results were a very positive outcome, so I stopped using it. Fast forward three months and those negative sad dark thoughts, creeped their way back into my head, and I have been very miserable, so today I am starting back on my chosen hypnotherapy sessions. Which are for obsessive thoughts/be happy/positive thoughts. Let’s see if it can work its magic again! If all it takes is five minutes a day first thing in the morning to put me on the right track and hopefully get my head out of this horrible place. It is at the moment. Then I will continue to use these hypnotherapy sessions every day if that’s what it takes. No amount of counseling really does fix what’s going on in your brain. It’s about a bit like any addiction that someone’s got you have to take it a day at a time, because these are experiences you can never really truly forget, but you can try and control them so that you are in control of your mind and how your day weeks months life goes going forward. All I know is deep down is I am a really happy positive person that was just unfortunately dealt a rough deal in my younger years and I’m not letting it control the rest of my life, good luck to anybody that tries these apps. I hope it works for you! :-) ### 5/5 — Good variety of meditation. *2021-02-13, version 3.6.1* I just had heart surgery and there was even a meditation for ICU recovery of my heart! ### 5/5 — Love it, just a couple notes *2020-01-21, version 3.6.1* I wish there was a was to stop it from immediately going to the next session without warning, there should be a option to pause between each session if you don’t want it to auto play forever. Also, I wish they could turn off the background music and replace it with all of those meditation sounds I paid for to change things up. What’s the point of all the extra background sounds if we can’t take out that original spooky sound? Lastly, I reeeally hope that they add more than one personal playlists. Besides those things this is an amazing app and I’m going to start using it everyday. Keep up the great work guys! ### 5/5 — Would highly recommend to anyone *2019-12-05, version 3.6.1* The library is huge. This app is for self improvement not just addiction. Everyone can benefit from this app. I love it! ### 5/5 — Love the App *2019-07-30, version 3.6.1* I am working through some demons, this app has helped me start my road to a better self. The two things I would want are an option to loop the seminars. This would help so much when trying to listen during slumber, and to allow more free ones. ### 5/5 — Does exactly what it says it will *2017-10-05, version 3.6.1* Gives you relaxing sounds and short quick hypnotic-like reassurances in a variety of areas that many people struggle with every day. No pressure to “upgrade”, no annoying ads, doesn’t crash. 5 stars. ### 5/5 — One of my favorites *2016-10-05, version 3.2.3* This is one of the apps that I've been using. Its been really helpful. ### 4/5 — * *2020-01-10, version 3.6.1* You can choose your own meditation sounds this app is pretty good.
