Perhaps it is best, there are a lot of permissions listed for this app, and a hefty lifetime option. (Although thanks for at least offering an end to the endless subscription model…) ### 2/5 — Stopped loading *2022-02-26, version 5.5* I did the lifetime purchase. Then the app stopped working. Gives an error domain message. I uninstalled and redownloded. Did not help. ### 3/5 — It works... when it works *2021-01-22* It’s a good app, unfortunately it’s very temperamental and half the time dose not open! Such a shame. **Developer response:** Thanks for you feedback. This issue has now been fixed. Thanks ### 2/5 — Latest Update *2021-01-07, version 3.6* I updated today and now the app won’t open. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2020-09-24, version 3.0.22* This app is amazing! So helpful!!! ### 5/5 — Joe *2020-09-20, version 3.0.22* Relaxing ### 5/5 — My Favorite App *2020-08-07, version 3.0.19* This is the best app, to mediate, help me relax, and sleep. Tell all my family, and friends about it! Also, thank you for waiving the monthly fee, due to Covid! ### 5/5 — So relaxing *2020-07-03, version 3.0.17* Wow so soothing and relaxing. I work with the public 6 days a week and find it very hard to fall asleep at night (STRESSED OUT) I played the good night sleep meditation and peacefully went to sleep in about 10 minutes. ### 5/5 — Cool *2020-06-10* You can select what you want in life for peace, calm, anything in here ### 5/5 — Relaxing *2020-06-09, version 3.0.17* Relaxing and a great choices ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Takes an eternity to load *2023-06-09* The app makes more stress than it will ever solve why did you make an app whitch takes so long to load litrally been waiting 10 mins i had to check it was 2023 ### 1/5 — Pure Greed *2021-02-24, version 3.7* Pumpkin used to be an app where you’d pay a one time fee and get all meditations and hypnosis for free. Now they charge a subscription fee to access anything. So now anyone who got the app when it used to cost money, now has to buy the subscription in order to use the app. How greedy, I rarely write reviews like this, but I used to love this app. ### 1/5 — Free to Expensive *2021-02-16* I think there is a glitch it is showing the monthly rate as $67.99 This app was fantastic, it definitely helped with my sleep but slowly the free sessions disappeared and that is disappointing. **Developer response:** Sorry to hear about this issue. All the content is now free to listen to. ### 1/5 — Ugh *2021-01-21* I was LOVING this app. And now all the meditations I was listening to are locked unless you buy a subscription. So sad :( ### 1/5 — Seriously used to love this app but now it won’t even stay open *2021-01-09* If you can actually access this app it is a great app to have. However, since one of their updates every time I try to open the app I see the pumpkin logo and then it promptly closes. Nothing I can do to fix this from rebooting my phone to making sure it’s up-to-date. Really wish they fix it so I can get access to this again. ### 1/5 — Latest version update *2020-12-30, version 3.6* Ever since the latest version this app keeps crashing and won’t open. Any tips? Or is another version going to be released soon? ### 1/5 — Have to agree *2020-12-21, version 3.5* Worked 2 days ago just fine, then WHAM give us money to keep us. Sorry, enjoy the app, but not willing to dish after disrespect. I used your app, I enjoyed your app, but now I must let it go. ### 1/5 — Quite shady *2020-12-08, version 3.4* I retract my glowing review of pumpkin due to greed. When pumpkin was released, I recommended it everyone I knew. Most everything was free (meditation, stories, music and hypnotherapy. I understand the need to make some money from the app, however it went from most all of it being free to absolutely NOTHING being free. And I’m talking NOT ONE THING! Pure greed. I think that it is a terrible terrible way to try to gain a following. I think Calm is superior and Pumpkin is just a fraud. I’m deleting you Pumpkin! Happy trails! ### 1/5 — Disappointed! *2020-09-05, version 3.0.21* I downloaded this app and selected email to do a log in with. Once you click on email, you can’t click on the part that says create an account. Makes me wonder if this is a scam that makes you have to go through faceback or Apple to set up an account. Looked like a good app but not anymore. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2020-07-04* Please sort this out, my mother in law has the app working for her but me and my wife tried to use this on the IPhone 11 Mac Pro and it just won’t work! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Mindfulness for daily life ‌‌‌ ‍ *2023-04-24* The interface of Lotus is so aesthetically pleasing.
