The sound is disturbing instead and it seems that she is an amator talker. And amid of that when she goes countdowning the steps from 10 to 1 while explaing through the steps she forgets to explain the step from 8 to 7 but instead goes straight from 9 to 7. Additionally the other purchases of 3$ is quite expensive. **Developer response:** I am sorry to hear you're not pleased with my style of induction. Everything is intentional. And I can ensure you that although my programs may be somewhat similar to other hypnosis or meditation products out there, I have been doing this for some time now, and I stand behind my practice, and the results of my listeners and clients. ### 3/5 — Nice and relaxed *2015-05-16* This is a lovely app that will inspire you into using yoga and meditation techniques more, however, whichever recording you listen to it always starts with a staircase which is a bit boring. ### 4/5 — Mostly relaxing *2015-04-23* This isn't one I usually listen to when going to sleep. It's good for relaxing after work. But I did last night though and woke up screaming. I had forgot to change it to sleep at end, it was still set to wake at end. I listened to the waking suggestions this morning to figure out why I had that reaction and I think the suggestion that I would wake with a surge of energy is what did it. Yep. I did. Lol ### 4/5 — Very calming *2014-09-07, version 1.400* I like this app. Helps you to think positive. ### 5/5 — It works *2014-08-30, version 1.400* Great app. Her voice and words truly help you unwind. Love it. ### 5/5 — Happy app *2014-08-29, version 1.400* I bought many of them and I have been very pleased. Her voice is soothing and I sleep better. Will get back to you after a few more. Nancy, disabled and frustrated. ### 5/5 — Review *2014-08-07* Was having a horrible morning- thought I'd try this to calm down. I used to see a hypnotherapist. This was really great and used some of the essentials I was tought for doing self hypnosis as well as when I used to see my practitioner Dr. Funda Khan. This is a good back up for me- really enjoyed it and felt better. Thank you for bringing me back to a positive state of mind. ### 5/5 — Great app, very flexible, helps put me to sleep *2014-06-29* Look, I have no idea if hypnosis really works. I figure it can't hurt. What I like most about the app is that listening to it never fails to put me to sleep. I love her voice, and the introductory pieces have great guided imagery and are very soothing. You can choose an ending that keeps you asleep or one that wakes you up. Then I have fun choosing the middle hypnotic parts--do I want to work on being happy, ending self-criticism, becoming healthier? No idea how effective these parts are scientifically, but they say really good things (from the little I've been awake to hear) and I figure that can't be bad and may be doing a lot of good. ### 5/5 — Love it *2014-06-13* It's really really good ### 2/5 — In app purchases disappear *2014-04-05* I bought in app purchases and they just disappear from the app. I paid money for the app itself and also for the other in app purchase so I am not impressed with the fact it just disappears and you can no longer hear it. GET THIS FIXED PLEASE. ### 4/5 — Very nice to fall asleep to *2014-03-14* Awesome app. Extremely positive messages and a is always sleep amazingly afterwards. Highly recommended for those who need a positivity injection into their life ### 5/5 — Amazing *2014-02-11* Love this app, love the menu if choice to enable a comfortable and variable experience each time. Definately worth the money. Ps don't listen to background 'rain' with a full bladder lol ### 5/5 — Absolutely amazing. *2014-01-09, version 1.05* Helps me fall asleep faster than sleeping pills. ### 5/5 — Works so good it's scary! *2013-10-15* I use it at bedtime. I don't know how it works but I'm usually asleep before I reach the middle section, less than 10 minutes. I honestly have not heard the entire message. I just know I wake up feeling much better than I did two weeks ago when I first started using it. The interface is basic, but it works for me. Definitely worth the investment. ### 4/5 — Seems to be helpfull *2013-09-25, version 1.05* It definitely helps me relax. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Thieves *2022-01-31, version 2.3* I love Rachel’s content, but I purchased a lot of these hypnosis and mysteriously the app disappeared from my past purchases and I can’t restore my purchases on the new app that is out. Literally spent over 100. Save your money and go to YouTube . ### 1/5 — Nah *2018-05-15* Just nah. No. **Developer response:** Hello, I am sorry to hear you were displeased with the app. Is there anything we could do to make your experience better? Please feel free to email our support team at, RachaelMeddowsApps@Gmail.com. ### 1/5 — I want my money back *2016-05-31* The voice is annoying. I really want a guided meditation that works for me, so I was hoping this would work, but the voice just makes me more tense. ### 1/5 — Don't Buy! Un-authorized Renewal!! *2016-04-20, version 1.400* This renewed my membership and charged me without my authorization. DO NOT BUY!!! Trying to cancel but contact is only some random email!!! ### 1/5 — Exactly the same meditation as Power of the Mind app, no in app options as stated in description *2015-02-25, version 1.400* I'm very annoyed. Just bought this app, started it up and it is exactly the same meditation as Power of the Mind. I also see no options to change the middle portion of the meditation to focus on a particular area. Very disappointed that the app doesn't match the reviews. ### 1/5 — Scam!!! *2012-06-29, version 1.03* This is the same exact app as the power of the mind app. There's just a different icon, name and description. I bought it hoping for different content and a difference experience and it is literally the same exact thing that I already paid for and own. So disappointed! Don't fall for the same trick that I did!!! ### 1/5 — Happy app *2012-05-15* Utter bobbins ..... Tried this app does not seem to work to do anything but send you to sleep . Don't bother !! ### 1/5 — Not so happy with this app *2011-12-11, version 1.03* I got a free app 1st, called 'loose weight' by 'on beat apps' it was awesome, so I had high expectations for a paid app & had already planed to buy some of the in app purchases before listening... Well, her voice was not as effective, the silent pauses followed by 'good!' in an upbeat tone was counter productive & her whole approach to relaxation was not as good as the free app. Good luck! Hope you get better... Wish I could get my 4$ back... ### 1/5 — Relaxation app *2011-11-27, version 1.03* This program will not come on. The pic. appears when you touch it the screen goes blank. Awful. ### 1/5 — No... *2011-10-29, version 1.03* I've purchased many hypnosis apps. And this is the worst. The woman's voice sounds too robotic and it isn't soothing at all. Also,the pauses are seemingly endless. It's almost like you are paying to hear a stream or river, of which isn't that good in the first place. Very disappointed. And not recommended what do ever. You want something good? Check out Andrew Johnson's apps. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I bought the app but still see ads *2018-09-27* I bought this wonderful app but still see ads on my screen when I open the app.plz remove the ads out it is really unfair ### 5/5 — I love this app *2016-07-10* This app really works I was surprise but it works ### 5/5 — Why not?? *2015-07-09* I figured why not when my life seemed to be crumbling, I turned to God & I found this app. After the first night listening, I've been waking in a more positive mood. I don't believe I'm being hypnotized but I do believe in the power of suggestion. ### 5/5 — Must have! *2015-06-17, version 1.400* I've downloaded all of Rachael Meddows' apps and they are worth every penny! I use one almost every day/ night for a power nap or good night sleep. Help with stress, focus & balance. ### 5/5 — Be Happy and get to sleep *2014-11-16, version 1.400* This app is great for putting oneself to sleep, no doubt. It will be some time before I can vouch for the "happy" part of the App - but sleeping so well is more than good enough! ### 5/5 — Very helpful! *2014-11-15, version 1.400* I found this meditation time to be very relaxing. ### 5/5 — Not a good sleeper!! *2014-11-05* This app has me asleep within like 5 mins of listening to it.. I enjoy it a lot I feel like it's helping me in my life!!!! I love the fact that if I want to wake up at the end of the session I can.... Even though I hear the que that it's time to wake up.. It freaks me out that I consciously did not here what was being said.. But my sub conscious did... Sooo crazy!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ def worth the $$ for thus app been using it for over a month and I don't go a day with out listening to it at least once. Some days I listen to it to just make me feel better... :) enjoy ### 5/5 — Awesome App *2014-10-16, version 1.400* I have never slept so good in all my life! I feel so rested the next day. I feel anxiety the next day, a very calming feeling. ### 5/5 — Great app *2014-10-04, version 1.400* I love her soothing voice. Really helps Me relax and feel less anxious. I fall A sleep at night now so easily. ### 5/5 — Life saving *2014-09-25, version 1.400* It is great app --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
