Over priced, content limited

Nice app, but content seems really limited. For what it is, I would expect many more scenarios guided experiences. Several of the scenarios seemed really really rushed and mechanical so much so it was typical for my wife too understand what they were asking. To try, but after renewing it for one month, we’re excited to cancel because it’s not really worth the expense. You can look up guided audio scenarios and instructions for free online.

Response from developer

Thanks for the honest feedback, and for giving Melba a shot even after a rocky start! Sorry a couple of scenarios felt mechanical rather than natural, we're regularly adding new content and refining the guided experiences, so this kind of detail genuinely helps us prioritize what to fix next. Feel free to write us anytime at contact@melba.app if you have specific requests or notice something off, we'd love to hear from you (and we promise we actually read those emails). Thanks again for the feedback, and take care! Léa

Great app, needs more content

App has been great. It gets us out of that comfort zone and doing some things that we wouldn’t normally have tried.

Content is great overall, but wish content would come out more regularly. Also, it seems like episodes will go away at times. Have seen unfamiliar ones on screenshots or other place that aren’t on there now. Please keep the existing content on there.

Overall, great app though.

Thank you so much for your review! 😊 We're thrilled to hear Melba is helping you explore new things together. And yes, message received on the content front! We're working hard on bringing new experiences regularly, and we'll also share your feedback about keeping favorite episodes available. Thanks for being part of the adventure 🔥 . Léa

Disappointed

Wouldn’t load or open after first time.

Designed to get as much personal information as possible

They will not even let you in the app to see what is there without you giving them massive access to your personal information. This app might be great, but it is a data mining app disguised as something else. Do not fall for it.

Response from developer

Thank you for sharing your concerns. We want to reassure you that Melba does not collect “massive access” to personal data. We only request the information strictly necessary to create an account and provide secure access to our content. Payments are processed through the App Store, and we do not store any banking details. Melba is a startup focused on guided, voice-led intimacy experiences designed with certified sex therapists. Our mission is to help couples strengthen connection in a safe and private space. If you would like more details about how data is handled, feel free to reach out to me directly at lea@melba.app. Léa

No way I said ok to that

The price I was charged was like 138 US! I know for a fact i would never agree to that, especially with these meh scenarios

Deep throat 101

Thank you

J ai testé le mode solo , puis 1ere expérience avec mon mari et depuis c’est notre rituel et on a toujours hâte d être au prochain rdv Melba 😍

hot and fun

Cool app. Tried it right away and took us out of our comfort zone immediately. WOW. We tried new moves that I’ll know I’ll do again. Hard recommend!

Response from developer

Thank you so much for your review 🤗 ! We’re thrilled to hear Melba helped you explore new sensations and step out of your comfort zone, that’s exactly our mission ! We hope the next sessions will be just as powerful 🔥. Léa

Jeux de role

J’aimerais avoir plus d’intensité dans la voix et le rythme sinon sais correct

Response from developer

Merci beaucoup pour votre retour Alain 🙏🏼 ! On prend bonne note de votre remarque sur la voix et le rythme. L'app évolue en continu et de nouvelles fonctionnalités arrivent très bientôt 🤗. Si vous avez d’autres suggestions, n'hésitez pas à nous écrire à contact@melba.app. Léa

Subscription

Really annoying going through all the questions and getting excited to use the app and then being held up by a pay wall. And then being charged $130 for a year. I’d be happy to pay a reasonable 1 time payment but I’m not getting a subscription for something I don’t know if I’m ganna use. I saw someone else complain about this too, I would be very keen to try out this app if it had a free version with ads maybe with limited features

Response from developer

Hi, Thank you for your feedback. Melba is a 100% ad-free app, created by sexual health experts, which means offering high-quality content has a cost. That’s why we offer a 7-day free trial with full access to everything. To avoid being charged, it’s enough to cancel before the end of the trial. We also send an email reminder before the trial expires, just make sure notifications are enabled and check your spam folder, just in case. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts. Léa

Paywall bs.

Immediately deleted. Force you through the sign up process only to confront ya with a subscription. Here’s an idea.. just give the 7 days free without taking my cc info.. THEN if I decide it’s worth it maybe I’d buy. But waste my time and buy. Garbage. $119 a year lol fugouttahere

Response from developer

Hi, Thanks for your feedback, we get where you're coming from. The credit card is required by Apple to activate the 7-day free trial, but you're absolutely not charged if you cancel in time. We know it can be frustrating and we're working on ways to make the process smoother. If you'd like to give it another try or have questions, just email us at contact@melba.app, we’re always here to help. Léa

My wife and I LOVE this app

We’ve been married 16 years, together for 21 and things are good but we try to keep it interesting in the bedroom. We were actually pleasantly surprised with Melba. The audio “experiences” weren’t crazy wild but they were a lot of fun. A lot of the things we’d done before but it’s cool doing them in a different way. There are a few new techniques we’ve got on the list too. She LOVES it. Reckon it’s well worth a try for any open minded couples.

Hi, What a pleasure to read your message, thoughtful, honest, and exactly the kind of spirit Melba was created for. 🥰 If we’ve managed to spark new sensations in familiar territory and add a few surprises to your shared playlist… then our mission is on the right track. Thank you for welcoming us into your intimacy with such generosity 🙏🏼. Léa

Waste of money

They bill you the entire amount up front so that once you realize it’s a waste of money, they already have your money.

Response from developer

Hi, We’re sorry to hear that and totally understand your frustration. Apple requires users to request refunds directly via this link : support.apple.com/en-us/HT204084 If it’s not working or you need help, feel free to email us at contact@melba.app, we’ll guide you step by step, and whatever happens, we’ll make sure we find a solution. Best regards. Léa

Permet de se reconnecter à l’autre

Notre vie sexuelle était un peu à plat. Nous permet de retrouver de l’intimité, de nous reconnecter l’un à l’autre. Fait baisser la charge mentale liée au sexe car on est guidés et bien guidés. On retrouve des sensations très fortes. Nous plaît beaucoup à tous les deux. Hâte de continuer d’explorer !

Merci beaucoup @mademoiselleliberte pour ce retour si sincère et touchant 🙏🏼. C’est exactement pour cela que nous avons créé Melba : pour aider à relancer le désir, alléger la charge mentale et offrir un cadre sécurisant pour explorer à deux. Nous sommes ravis que les épisodes vous permettent de vous reconnecter en profondeur et de retrouver une belle complicité 🥰. On vous souhaite encore de très belles découvertes ensemble… et de belles surprises sensorielles à venir 🔥! Léa

Waste of money

The app charged us for a whole year when it was supposed to be a free trial. Apple refused to refund twice and the app owner said they couldn’t do anything for us. The app is mediocre at best and feels like a scam in the end. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

Response from developer

Hi Svickar, we’re truly sorry for the misunderstanding and for any frustration this may have caused. The subscription process and billing are handled directly by the app’s payment platform, and charges are applied according to its terms. We’d be happy to look into your case in more detail and see how we can assist you. Could you please contact us directly at contact@melba.app so we can work to resolve this for you ? Thank you. Léa

$119.19 Charge the Moment I Logged In — Complete Scam

I’m absolutely furious with Melba. I only needed to sign into my old email to retrieve a contract, and the moment I did, the app charged my Apple Wallet $119.19 — all because I had once tried a “free trial” on that old account. There was no warning, no confirmation, nothing — just an instant charge for a subscription I never agreed to continue.
This is beyond deceptive. It’s unacceptable for an app to automatically bill someone just for logging into an old account, especially when the so-called free trial was long forgotten. The fact that it could access my Apple Wallet without explicit consent is disturbing.
Avoid Melba at all costs. Their “free trial” is a trap, their billing practices are shady, and their lack of transparency is outrageous. I’ve already reported this to Apple, and I hope others do the same.

Waste of Money

First, the app charged us for a full year when we were signing up for a free trial period. Despite following the instructions provided by the app developer, Apple declined our refund request twice so we are stuck with the charge. Having used the app a few times since, it’s generally a waste of time and money. NOT RECOMMENDED.

10/10

Wow, quelle application incroyable !!! Je l’ai testé avec un amant en vacances car je comptais le proposer à mes clients (je suis sexologue) et on s’est complètement prit au jeu ! On a fini par en faire un tous les jours et c’est devenu notre jeu préféré des vacances. Les épisodes sont extrêmement bien guidées, la voix est très sensuelle, elle tient le cadre parfaitement sans être trop intrusive, les scénarios sont variés et il y en a pour tous les goûts ! Jeu de rôle, massage, frustration, il permet d’être prit par la main pour explorer des choses auxquelles on n’aurait pas forcément pensé. Je suis absolument fan.

Bonjour Élisa, Un immense merci pour votre message 🤗 ! Lire que vous avez non seulement apprécié l’expérience Melba, mais aussi que vous envisagez de la recommander à vos clients, nous touche profondément. C’est exactement pour cela que nous avons créé Melba : offrir un cadre bienveillant, inspirant et guidé pour (re)découvrir le plaisir autrement. Nous sommes ravis que la variété des épisodes ait su nourrir vos vacances 🤩 ! Votre regard de professionnelle de la santé sexuelle est particulièrement précieux pour nous. Encore merci pour ce retour, qui fait super plaisir à toute l’équipe. 🙏🏼 Belle continuation à vous ! Léa

Bien mieux que de la porno !!!

Laissez-vous guider par les jeux de rôles de Melba. Un retour à la séduction et au désir charnel.

Response from developer

Merci pour ce super retour 🤗 ! Ravis que les jeux de rôles Melba aient réveillé en vous le goût du désir et de la séduction. À très vite pour de nouvelles explorations sensuelles 🔥. Léa

Payez d’abord, essayez ensuite

A partir du moment où il n’y a qu’un accès payant de disponible sans pour avoir la possibilité de voir ce que propose l’application, c’est non. Un essai gratuit d’une semaine, très bien mais faut d’abord donner ses coordonnées bancaires…

Response from developer

Merci d’avoir pris le temps de partager votre ressenti. Nous comprenons tout à fait vos réserves. Chez Melba, nous avons fait le choix de proposer une semaine d’essai gratuite pour permettre à chacun de tester l’application avant de s’engager. Les plateformes exigent une méthode de paiement pour activer cette période d’essai, mais il n’y a aucun prélèvement si l’abonnement est annulé à temps. Il suffit de résilier pendant les 7 jours, et aucun montant n’est débité. Notre volonté est de proposer un contenu de qualité, guidé et sans publicités, ce qui implique un modèle économique payant. Cela nous permet de rémunérer justement les créatrices et créateurs de contenus qui conçoivent les expériences proposées. Si vous souhaitez tout de même découvrir Melba gratuitement, n'hésitez pas à nous écrire via l'app ou à l'adresse contact@melba.app. Peut-être à bientôt sur l'app 😉. Léa
