Really? *2023-04-15* I love AJ’s apps, but when I come to relax I don’t want to be hit by a full screen ad pitching the Easter Promo sale. I paid for this app. Leave me alone and don’t bug me when I come to relax. ### 2/5 — The ad in the beginning for him is a major drag *2023-01-16* I have two other of his apps and I like them so I was bummed when he opened this one with ad ad for himself, inviting people to click links later (ooh, looking forward to getting links during my meditation!). I guess he’s gotten really successful so now instead of just being good and letting word of mouth work its magic, he’s chosen to self promote. As a component of a meditation app, and a $2.99 one at that, it’s bad business. It’s the last app of his I’ll buy because of this, so in trying to drum up business, he lost it. Who woulda thought. The ad may not play every time. Still the one feels different than ones I’ve listened to in the past. It was clearly edited so the nonspecific hypnosis part of it is tethered to the weight losss part of it so that he can use the hypnosis part of it with other programs. Also it’s not a positive message. It’s “stop eating those fattening foods, those greasy, salty, fattening foods, those sickly sweet foods.” I mean maybe some people need that but I don’t eat anything like that. It isn’t positive, it’s negative. This was is definitely not as strong as the two previous ones I’ve used. ### 4/5 — Love this program.. *2018-08-24* Not sure about the “trance” part - don’t think it really happens - but the sincere encouragements have helped me stay on course - thanks!! ### 2/5 — Not so much.... *2017-09-03* I listen to Andrew's meditations all through the night ...every single night.... they're amazing! This one however has a lot of words that begin and end with a long, drawn out S. It sounds like hissing ... over and over.. and I wakeup in a twilight sleep throughout it. I had to quit using it. I would love for Andrew to create a new one! ### 5/5 — LOVE THIS APP *2015-02-03, version 8.34* It's my favorite and most relaxing... Let you're mind go and the weight will too. ### 4/5 — Great so far! *2014-08-01, version 8.31* After the first week I couldn't hold the fork and this forced me to slow down and chew more, also I was eating again fruit and vegetables ... I didn't lost weight so far, but I feel better, less heavy! So far so good! Thanks Andrew! ### 5/5 — Helped me quite awhile ago *2014-06-13, version 8.31* I still recognize some of my healthy thoughts about eating as those reinforced by this app. A low-effort and relaxing way of boosting your healthy-eating initiative. ### 5/5 — The best meditation app! *2014-06-07, version 8.31* All of Andrew Johnson's apps are great! This one is really helping me to eat better and healthier. ### 5/5 — Positive *2014-05-21* It could be a coincidence, but I've been listening every night for about 3 weeks and there has been icecream in my freezer that I've had no interest in for about two weeks- this has never happened in my life, I've been known to eat a whole tub in a day. ### 5/5 — One of the best App purchases I've ever made!! *2013-12-01, version 6.1* LOVE LOVE LOVE this app/track!!! I don't feel like I've changed much except for listening to this every night before bed and I'm losing about 2 pounds each week. I did some research on hypnosis and weight loss which said it works so I decided to give it a try. I didn't like some of the other recordings out there but I found this one and realized what the experts said was true. Can't speak highly enough of this track and Andrew Johnson in general I love all of his recordings! Now when I put my headphones in and start listening I'm fast asleep in about 1 minute! Thank you Andrew Johnson!! ### 5/5 — Wonderful! *2013-10-20* One of my favourite apps by Andrew Johnson. I have lost 5kg so far and have easily swapped to a healthy diet full of 'super foods' and am enjoying and feeling the benefits of everything I eat. I am extremely happy with my progress and highly recommend this app. I was well and truly ready to embrace a healthier diet and this app is an invaluable tool on my weight loss journey. I listen twice a day...when I wake up in the morning and then drift off into a relaxed state before falling asleep to it at night. If you are really ready to do something about your excess weight then this app will certainly help you on your path to weight loss and better health. ### 5/5 — A great app *2013-08-29, version 6.1* One reviewer said since she started listening to this app she hasn't needed to take her sleeping medication. Let me second that. No Lunesta so far for me. If this app can help me with my cravings as well as get me off some of my meds...then this is a total life changer for me. And when you factor in the cost of prescriptions and food and the amount of money they cost these days, this could be the best $3 I have ever spent. I will check back in later and let you know how it is going. ### 5/5 — Good so far *2013-07-09, version 6.1* I was also skeptical of this app but I have noticed a difference with what I am eating and I have changed my diet without really noticing or missing food I used to eat. I have lost weight & Going to continue to listening to this hopefully it will carry on working. ### 5/5 — Absolutely love this! *2013-06-28, version 6.1* I have just completed my first session and I feel weight loss is going to be so easy now. I can see the path before me. I agree with the others that Andrew has a great voice but coming from the same are I would love the accent :-). I'm sure my weight loss will start immediately now. ### 5/5 — Nothing short of amazing! *2013-06-20, version 6.1* I made a small investment and this app will make my sleep and my mind more focused in my weight loss goals. ### 5/5 — Iv lost 8kg *2013-04-27* Since having my baby I have lost the excess weight and a little more with this app. I put it on to help me sleep also, most of the time I fall asleep in the first five min but it still works. ### 4/5 — Soothing *2013-03-22, version 6.1* I love listening to his voice- very relaxing ### 4/5 — Great! *2013-03-13, version 6.1* It works! Please mention more about carbohydrate. 😖 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not the right app *2014-01-31, version 6.1* This downloads the relaxation app not the weight loss app. I wouldn't purchase until this problem is resolved. Hopefully I will get a response from the email I sent to support from their website. ### 1/5 — Nightmares! *2014-01-19, version 6.1* This is the first Andrew Johnson app I have downloaded based on the reviews. But unfortunately, I just seem to get terrible nightmares every time I listen to it. They have become quite vivid and disturbing and so I won't be listening to this one again! I wouldn't rule out his other apps though and might try them. But this one is definitely not for me! ### 1/5 — Do you like being shouted at? *2013-02-11, version 6.1* Most of the time Andrew Johnson's voice in this app is soothing and pleasant. But a sentence will go like this: "It's time to STOP eating all that oily greasy unhealthy food." The "STOP" is very loud compared to the rest. It feels like he's yelling at me. I think compassion, support, and caring would work better to get people to examine their eating habits. The STOP startles me at times, other times it just sets my teeth on edge. The worst: I have Deep Sleep, which has been great for occasional insomnia. Andrew Johnson is the narrator for that one, too. Now it doesn't work as well as it used to. I keep expecting him to yell "GO TO SLEEP." I need a new sleep app. Bummer. ### 1/5 — Arrrrggggghhhh.....the voice!!!! *2012-09-22, version 6.1* The incessant repetition of "fattening fuds" annoyed me so much I can't listen to it. It's "food" not "fud"! Over priced too. ### 1/5 — Annoying *2012-06-19* I do not find this app helpful at all. His voice is less than soothing and all ypu hear is the word "fatty foods" that is sooooo annoying!!! I know right from wrong , fatty from not.. Waste of money but he's making good money! ### 1/5 — Failed at its job *2012-05-02, version 6.1* I lost no weight. The guy remained me of the fat guy from Austin Powers. ### 1/5 — Don't buy it *2012-01-02, version 6.1* This app is exactly like the one on relaxation with Andrew. Granted he has a soothing rhythmic voice but the advertisement said this app would motivate people to lose weight. I fell asleep but I already have an app with Andrew on that!! How do I get a refund?? ### 1/5 — Not what it says *2012-01-02, version 6.1* Brought this and have listened a couple of times and there is no mention of weight loss it just relaxes you then stops. ### 1/5 — Um? *2011-12-24, version 6.1* Yeah it's relaxing but iv listened to it afew times and iv not heard him mention anything to do with weight lose? Just how to relax? Is mine wrong or something or did I just waste money???? ### 1/5 — Wrong app *2011-10-07, version 6.1* I received the wrong app!!! Paid for something that everyone can download for free!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I haven’t lost any yet *2020-09-02* I started listening to this in 2011. I ended up giggling over the way he says crunchy, fattening, sweet and etc because it sounds so delectable. Those were all my go to foods . It actually triggered my desire at first. I stuck with it and also tried his Positivity app. Then I added nearly all of the Andrew Johnson apps. I don’t smoke and am not an addict, so left those out. I only wish there was one for handling grief. Move On sounds good but wasn’t quite right for that. Anyway, back to this app. I believe it helped change my stubborn mindset. I now exercise every day and am on a fasting program. I’m able to stick to it and am hopeful that finally I can do this. Thanks for EVERYTHING you do for people ANDREW. ❤️ ### 5/5 — It works *2020-08-19* I don’t write reviews but I thought I would for anyone in the same position who’s debating whether to purchase this. For 10 years I have been massively overweight. For 10 years I have had serious issues with food that I didn’t understand. I have been addicted to food, I’ve eaten myself sick more times than I can count. I’ve done hundreds of diets and have never learnt to eat a normal healthy diet until now. I have listened to this everyday for 8 weeks and I’ve lost a stone but that isn’t the best part. I no longer live to eat, I eat to live. My whole life has changed and that’s not an exaggeration, I finally have a great relationship with food. I love cooking again and eating healthy food, real food. I used to find it so daunting that the thought of being on a diet for the rest of my life made me sob. I’m not on a diet, I’ve changed my lifestyle and I absolutely love it. I don’t know if Andrew Johnson ever reads these but if you do I just want to say thank you. You’ve honestly saved my life! ### 5/5 — Best relaxation app EVER! Love Andrew Johnson’s voice *2018-09-10* For my wedding I wanted to loose weight. With this app from Andrew Johnson it was possible and so easy! Naturally I was a bit sceptical but soon I fell in love with the voice - the music and - the whole program. I downloaded the other apps as well and cannot recommend Andrew Johnson’s app high enough! Absolutely worth every penny! I LOVE IT! ### 5/5 — It works for me *2018-07-13* I am absolutely thrilled with this!! I have tried everything and was stuck at the same weight, even though I had been doing much more exercise. I couldn’t control my willpower with certain foods. Until now!! The voice is very soothing and I usually fall asleep before the recording is finished. I don’t know how this works but it does! I’ve lost 5lb in the first week which I am thrilled with. Im just not having the usual cravings. I also feel a lot more relaxed. Just amazing!! ### 5/5 — Very relaxing *2017-08-11* I've always had trouble mediating. This one works! His voice and technique wonderful. ### 5/5 — Works for me *2016-11-19* This app has changed my attitude to food. I've been using it for a few months and have lost a lot of weight. I no longer want to eat just because other people are eating. I now listen once or twice a week, especially as the introduction puts me to sleep. Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — 👌🏼 *2016-10-02* Great ### 5/5 — Wow... surprisingly good *2015-07-27, version 8.34* I give A+ on the content of the app. Very soothing voice...I've seen a positive difference in my need for sweets. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Great app! *2015-03-14, version 8.34* I love all of Andrew Johnson's apps! They have all been very helpful and comforting to me. :) ### 5/5 — Best *2015-02-16, version 8.34* Love all these apps! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
