Good product

It’s good. I have a little bit of trouble with the volume control which has links to your iPhone and in order to get that to work at least reasonably you need to turn off the decibel controls that are in accessibility and various other things.

It has a lot of nature sounds. I’m not all that interested in the stories but some people love them.

There is music but it’s sort of on about brain waves honestly I would like some - Joni Mitchell or some other types of really good music that relaxes me and sends me off to sleep, but I haven’t figured that out yet. For all I know, I can use my own music, but I can’t review that cause I haven’t tried it.

Of course I’m new to it so it could be that you could add your own music I have no idea but essentially as a headband and so forth, it’s really a good product and like others I just think they should take a look at the app and make it just a tad more flexible and yeah, just more flexible that would be great.

Bought for the band, stayed for the app

I was skeptical at first, but I love this app and have been falling asleep to it for a year now. I’ve tried other ‘fall asleep’ meditations and no luck, but these work for me! Here’s what makes me a fan:

- solfeggio frequencies layered with stories

- stories are the right amount of boring

- there are stories that don’t focus too much on breath and body scans, which I usually can’t get into, but do include maybe one or two deep breaths in the middle. I still use the body scans occasionally for meditation, but not for sleep.

- there isn’t too much content. This might seem like a downside, but it might be the accidental secret sauce. Repetition works for me, and it turns out that’s pretty common. Searching for something new and good is not a good idea before bed.

- I hate monthly subscriptions and this isn’t one.

I’m not big into writing reviews, but this app changed my life. I don’t even use the band every time, sometimes I just have my phone volume up.

Anyway, whatever the reason this odd mix of technically inaccurate, grammatically questionable and occasionally bizarre documentaries and stories puts me to sleep like a tranquilliser when nothing else has worked for 15 years.

Product is ok, but…

The app doesn’t seem to be uploaded with new content, etc. So it gets repetitive… I’m starting to browse the Internet again to find interesting meditations, immersive stories, etc. With the hoomband, but still, I was expecting more.

Terrible

App says I am not connected to a network when I clearly am. I have deleted and reinstalled the app and I get the same message. Now it is not loading any stories or content. Screen is blue and blank. Very disappointed.

Updates more often

Please update the app more often. It could be great. It is the only sleep app that has the ability to queue, but the selection of stories is very limited and new tracks take 3-4 months to be released. By this time the stories have been played 20 times, and then it ceases to be effective.
