### 3/5 — Alarm 💕

*2026-09-03, version 2.56.2*

*Edit: A couple of years on, I still enjoy the colouring but there hasn’t been any new ones added in over two years. Which is disappointing.*

I’ve had loona for a while and have been lucky enough to have the alarm for the last few weeks. This is THE best way to wake up in a morning!!! I don’t know how I managed before! It’s sets me up for a wonderful start! 💕

### 3/5 — Sad they don’t add any new

*2026-09-02, version 2.56.2*

At one point this app was very special. I feel sad they let it go.

### 2/5 — Used to love it

*2026-08-19, version 2.56.2*

This app is brilliant and the artwork, stories etc are fantastic. Unfortunately, it was ruined when they put everything behind a paywall. I would much rather watch ads than have to pay an extortionate amount to access the content personally but that isn’t an option. I am disappointed as it really helped me previously

### 3/5 — Half the app doesn’t work

*2026-08-17, version 2.56.2*

I love this app but I need it fixed!

### 5/5 — Uniquely helpful

*2026-08-14, version 2.56.2*

I like this app a lot- it was the best app I could find that offered interactive games that are purposely designed to help you relax and sleep. That’s helpful for me because the games are gentle, but still interactive. Provides some structure to help transition into sleep.

### 4/5 — I've been using this app for years but boy I wish they'd update

*2026-08-12, version 2.56.2*

I discovered Loóna when it offered free registration back at the beginning of the pandemic, and it has become a staple of my nighttime routine. I have ADHD and the sleepscapes offer a wonderfully multisensory (audio/visual/tactile) experience that helps to focus and relax the mind. I enjoy the autocolor mode for when I'm too tired to do the full sleepscape on my own too, and the soundscapes are my husband's favorite way to be lulled to sleep. All that said, they haven't updated with a new sleepscape in months and while I enjoy replaying, I miss when we'd get new ones consistently. I wouldn't even mind the updates being slow as long as they're on a regular basis. It makes me worry about the health of the company that they haven't done any content update in ages.

### 4/5 — Adorable

*2026-08-11, version 2.56.2*

i’m liking this app more and more. The only thing I wish they would do is put more than two choices for the play and color section that they have.

### 5/5 — Beautifully tranquil

*2026-08-10, version 2.56.2*

The app I always come back to when stress is affecting my sleep. It’s like magic.

### 4/5 — More? Please. ❤️

*2026-08-03, version 2.56.2*

I love this app. I’ve been in since its earliest conception. I’ve watched it evolve over the course of many years. I still use it nightly. My only wish is that they’d have continued making sleepscapes. I loved them but my brain needs novelty. I return nightly for the music and occasionally complete one of my favorites but it’s been so long since they’ve updated with a new one and it’s such a shame. They are all so well done.

### 3/5 — Not innovative

*2026-07-27, version 2.56.2*

They don’t make any new worlds so it gets boring

### 2/5 — Lovely,but not as great.

*2026-07-17, version 2.56.2*

i do love this app and i love the sleep scapes but i know you get 50% off which is great but you only get to look at 2 sleepscapes and then you have to pay to see more ? I thought they’d let you look at some but not only 2.
edit: i did this review in about 2023 and i’ve come across the app again to reminisce, now you only get one free sleepscape. it’s honestly sad that we have to pay to have some peace at night , unfortunately. would be nicer if this app becomes free one day.

### 5/5 — Phenomenal

*2026-07-17, version 2.56.2*

I wish there was new content but this is by far the best sleep aid app ever. I haven’t needed the assistance of medication in years due to the use of this app. I cannot thank you enough for giving me a piece of my life back by restoring some peace to my nights.

### 1/5 — Test fraud

*2026-09-05, version 2.56.2*

I’ve had the loona app for YEARS, at one point I paid money for some AI background thing beta test that just disappeared. For the last 2-3 years I’ve been waiting for Anxiety, Gratitude, Body Appreciation (weird one?) and ADHD (just no) tests to be released. Hasn’t happened. Also please only use the British man to read stories. I can’t sleep to anyone but him because David Attenborough’s little brothers voice is like all my ‘tism’s voice’s in my brain are finally quiet.

### 1/5 — Развод

*2026-09-02, version 2.56.2*

Купил подписку на сайте на год, активировать не могу, поддержка не отвечает

### 1/5 — Claims 3 day trial, charges immediately

*2026-08-25, version 2.56.2*

If I could give 0 stars I would. I agreed to and signed up for a 3 day free trial. I am on an extremely tight budget but wanted to see if it was helpful then I would save up the $99.99 annual charge. They charged me immediately. It did not clear because like I said I would have to save up for it if it was helpful. Now my Apple account is in limbo. I can’t do anything until I put in new payment information then fight them for a refund. They do not respond to their contact email, social media dm’s/comments or other reviews. I watched the first night because I thought I was on a trial and I have not used it sense because I do not want that used against me. I actually found it helpful but they scammed me.

### 1/5 — Hasn’t been updated in over a year!

*2026-08-24, version 2.56.2*

I think this is an incredible little program, I was really looking forward to actually getting a sub for it, but unfortunately, despite triple checking  all of my own settings, the purchase screen indefinitely shows a loading indicator, therefore never allowing access to the payment section. I was going to try to contact the dev to try to fix this, but then it dawned on me, why would I pay for something that the dev has not updated since March 2025?

### 1/5 — Not worth it anymore

*2026-07-27, version 2.56.2*

I used this app for a while a few years back, when I was using it I’m pretty sure it cost about half what it costs now for the yearly subscription. I got rid of it because they hadn’t added content in a while and I figured I would pick it back up again in the future once they had added content. However I downloaded the app again recently and I’m not sure there’s a single thing that has been added in the last few years… but the price has doubled. The concept of this app is great but it almost feels like it’s been abandoned by the developers. Unfortunately I’m not willing to pay what it cost these days for essentially no new content.

### 1/5 — Everything is now Locked behind a Paywall

*2026-07-22, version 2.56.2*

Stopped playing for a bit due to my hyperfixation moving. When I come back, I find every escape I haven’t played locked behind Loona plus. I wouldn’t have rated so low even with that if it wasn’t for the fact that it costs nearly $20 a month. Just make the app pay to play at that point. Scammers.

### 1/5 — Don’t download unless you have money

*2026-07-18, version 2.56.2*

Loved the first night helped me go to sleep. Tonight no…immediately wanted me to pay 20$…what happened to apps that actually wanted to help people, downloads should be enough revenue…

### 1/5 — Free trial scam

*2026-07-16, version 2.56.2*

Used to be good but when I accepted a free trial I was instantly charged the full year at a cost of $150. Loona says I have to take it up with apple but apple aren’t the app developers who set the trap.

### 1/5 — Really screwed up subscribing

*2026-07-15, version 2.56.2*

I signed up for the free trail and the next day they charged my 100$ for the subscription. This is not only ridiculous cause the free trail was like 10 days but it also automatically signed me up for the most expensive option. There are like 20 different options to choose from and none of them explain the differences between the services. It is freaking ridiculous! I would give negative stars if I could and there is no way to contact anyone. Just an email on there website.

### 1/5 — Exactly when did the developers abandon this app?

*2026-07-07, version 2.56.2*

I used to be a long time subscriber and used to do the sleepscapes or music every night but they stopped updating the app at least 3 years ago. 

I would have appreciated a response when I suggested a playlist feature for stories as I thought it would be a great update to the app, & make the stories more useable.

I guess when they stopped updating the content, they wouldn’t address any requests for new features either.

### 5/5 — Beautiful App

*2026-09-03, version 2.56.2*

I am so glad I found Loona-the app is amazing and very beautiful with fabulous scenes to discover and gorgeous music which really helps me unwind and destress. Highly recommended for anxious and stressed people (by me!)

### 5/5 — Thank

*2026-09-03, version 2.56.2*

You

### 5/5 — Life changing

*2026-08-28, version 2.56.2*

I wish I could personally thank everyone who works at Loóna. I suffered from insomnia for years, going to bed turned into torture every night. This app has transformed my life in so many ways I couldn’t begin to post on a review. I’ve never even wrote a review before but if you are still debating about this app please please try it, you will NOT regret it. Happy dreaming x

### 5/5 — i love this app

*2026-08-26, version 2.56.2*

i don't often write reviews for apps, but honestly this app has helped a lot with my insomnia. i have the yearly subscription as well, i find it very worth it. along with the relaxing visuals which is very nice before bed (wear blue light filtering glasses!) they have music that i couldnt find anywhere else, & they have bedtime stories! (my absolute favorite) it helps so much for me personally & i think the app is definitely worth a shot trying out for yourself.

for the developer:
heres some criticism to make the app better! 
i think if you could make it so you can change to your favorite narrator's voice, at least for the bedtime stories or something, it'd be really nice! i definitely got attached to a specific narrator voice & i do find myself skipping stories & sleepscapes that don't have my favorite narrator. i understand that this would require a lot more work, having every narrator narrate a story, but imo it'd be a great improvement. i also wished you guys added more episodes more frequently? the last update was a year ago. again, i personally love the app all the same but i think this will attract a more consistent audience, having the app be a little more customizable to preference, but of course all that comes with a budget & time. just honestly please continue to never use ai outside of like.. coding lol. please im genuinely begging you do not use ai for voices, do not use ai for the sleepscape visuals. please don't take the shortcuts. the work that you have put into this app is beautiful & please keep that integrity. if you guys have a patreon or anything i can further support the development of this app lmk.

### 5/5 — Application géniale

*2026-08-24, version 2.56.2*

Pour trouver le sommeil, ou pour réduire l’anxiété cette application appaise et calme . Je la recommande .

### 5/5 — A idea the creators

*2026-08-23, version 2.56.2*

Can we get a free section for people who don’t want to pay the subscription but want to enjoy it the same way. Many is rather tight when everything’s expensive now these days. Please 🥺.

### 5/5 — PRINCESS SHIRLEE ANN

*2026-08-22, version 2.56.2*

YOU DON’T HAVE THE ANSWER EITHER.

### 5/5 — Amazing!

### 5/5 — Best Sleep App Ever!!!

I absolutely love this App!!! I have been listening to it every night for a couple years now!!! There are so many things to choose from! It’s so relaxing reduces stress and I fall asleep so fast I never get fall asleep. I try to finish that the next night. I would recommend this 100%.
