I really liked Nerva and found it relaxing and effective. I also tried some of Ursula James hypnotherapy mp3s, which I also found useful. The sessions by Dr Yapko (all except one “narrated” by his wife) were more like lectures than the hypnotherapy that I had experienced previously. I listened to one of Yapko’s talks on YouTube, and he had some good points about depression. However, I personally think that he doesn’t understand enough about trauma or compassion to be generally useful. One of them really rubbed me the wrong way, and I cancelled at the end of the free trial. I would not recommend. ### 2/5 — No sound *2022-01-12, version 2.3.2* I love this app. It gets two stars, because it no longer plays the sessions. In the first two months, it worked fine. Now, nothing. ### 1/5 — Trouble with billing *2022-01-08, version 2.3.2* I tried this app and found out really quickly that it wasn’t for me. I used the trial period option and cancelled it immediately. My subscription expired in September 2021. I just saw a charge for a yearly subscription in December 2021 and with further investigation saw another charge for a yearly subscription in October 2021! I have reached out to the company with no response. This is extremely disappointing!! ### 2/5 — Annoying voice *2022-01-05, version 2.3.2* The session droned on, the guy flips pages as he reads. Lost interest quickly. ### 1/5 — Good content. Lousy delivery. No support. *2021-11-13, version 2.3.2* I loved this program the first day. Bought specifically for the hypnotherapy. Which they then removed from the app. Customer service gives the runaround. Don’t bother!!!! ### 5/5 — Mindset is *2021-10-21, version 2.3.2* Awesomeness ### 5/5 — Brilliant! *2021-10-14, version 2.3.2* This app is absolutely amazing! I’ve been in therapy for years and now working towards a career in Clinical Psychology. Always seeking ways to manage my anxiety and work on personal development. This hypnotherapy approach is very unique and not at all what I expected. I’m learning so many skills without effort and experiencing a deep sense of calm and confidence in my everyday life. Michael Yapko’s anxiety program is extraordinary! And I’ve still got all the other programs to look forward to! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Is this app free??? *2025-03-30, version 2.3.3* Is this a free app? ### 1/5 — Cannot access from my new iPhone 16 *2025-01-30, version 2.3.3* Please fix the glitch that is preventing my access to this app over the last two months, since I upgraded to my new iPhone 16. On my old 7 Plus iPhone, I never had any problems at all and I used to use the app a few times a week with great benefit. Help. I’ve paid good money for an app that I can’t access. ### 1/5 — AVOID *2024-03-25, version 2.3.3* You will be charged without your consent for an annual fee, and you’ll never find any information this app itself on Google. They have an “Ask Me Anything” section that is supposed to connect you to a live person, but I’ve been waiting 2 days for mine to show up. There is barely any content and the fee they charge you without your consent to access can be described as “sparse” at best. What a (bad) joke. ### 1/5 — Reset Password DOESNT WORK *2023-12-02, version 2.3.3* Never got an email. I’ve been paying for this app and can’t even get into it. Their reset password link does NOTHING. Even checking my spam. No emails from them. I hope they refund me honestly. Been such a waste of money. ### 1/5 — Scam *2023-08-16, version 2.3.3* Your “free” trial will cost you around $70. You will get a surprise receipt in your email. ### 1/5 — Not A Lot For Your Money *2023-02-04, version 2.3.3* While the quality is decent, the lack of content is surprising given the price. For $70+ a year, I expected much more than a few different modules with less than 10 sessions in each. ### 1/5 — Original therapy sessions removed *2023-01-11, version 2.3.3* I loved the mindset from 4 years ago but updated the app with a new therapist and it just isn’t working for me. The original guy they had is gone can’t find his content anywhere.. I’d pay if he was still on mindset app. ### 1/5 — Issues *2022-12-14, version 2.3.3* Been having lots of issues, been paying fir 3 months but haven’t been able to use it because none of the audios will load in order to play. Why do you have to download each one and wait for more than 19 mins to use it,?? It’s become a big waste of time ### 1/5 — Not as advertised *2022-11-20* The options for hypnosis are not at all what is advertised. I purchased a year subscription with the expectation I would have all the options they show on the main screen when purchasing the app. It is much more limited and doesn’t look anything like what’s advertised. I contacted customer service to let them know and was told their contract expired with a creator and they only have Yapko’s content. This was 8 months ago and they still haven’t corrected it. Yapko’s content is good but not worth the price for what you get. It feels like a bait and switch. Very disappointing. ### 1/5 — Not good *2022-10-16, version 2.3.3* I downloaded for the free trial thought I had cancel but apparently not. Paid £67.99 for this app and the bank said there was nothing I could do about it. So, having paid I thought I would give it ago. And I’m sorry to say this is possible the worse app I’ve used. I had been using breath for the last 12 months and thought I would change things up. To sum up, it’s currently nearly midnight and I am no closer to sleep after listening. My bed time is normally about 10:00pm. This is NOT a hypnosis app as it made out to be, completely misleading. Save your money ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Wow! *2024-03-08, version 2.3.3* Just wow…. I feel like I’m being ‘ saved’ by these sessions. thank you so much. ### 5/5 — Inspirational *2023-05-18, version 2.3.3* The sessions are inspirational. What Dr Yapko shares is truly profound. The content for £60 is truly superb when you think that this is usually the price of a single therapy session in the UK. Wholehearted thanks to Dr Yapko and the developers for all their hard work here in bringing this to us. Yes it costs money, but let’s appreciate what it offers. Some of the messages can be life changing. What price do we place on wisdom? It is priceless. Areas that could be improved. No one replies to the support messages which is unprofessional for a paid app. The negatives are that the trial period is too short, you need a trial of a month to really appreciate it. I could afford to lose the £60 subscription but many can’t and are missing out on the teachings here. I’d like to know how I can share the app with family without purchasing a whole new subscription. Could there be a family subscription? The content is a little confusing at first and a free trial of a week isn’t enough to get your head around it. Colours on content need a higher contrast ### 5/5 — Awesome *2023-01-04, version 2.3.3* It actually bloody works! Remarkably effective. ### 5/5 — Letting go of rigidity at last! *2022-12-27, version 2.3.3* All this is helping move thru relocating out of the trauma loop and also more immediately so I can be letting go of 52 years of body pain the hull height of my left side from age 8. Originally I took interest because depression and global thinking caught my attention in ‘How to recover from depression’ on YouTube. I’m feeling that out of the loop and just getting out of the end of my tension in seemingly endless increments I’m needing to bring a good portion of attention towards packing up my depression. In this regard I’m finding these sessions really extraordinary to my experience with hypnosis and a valuable utility toward what keeps unfolding as the unknown I’m here to achieve. Thank you. Craig ### 5/5 — This thing works *2022-12-10, version 2.3.3* I’ve never written a review before but felt the need to simply put some positive vibes out to anyone who may be considering this app. I have noticed real improvement so far and really think people should give this a shot! ### 5/5 — Grateful for this app *2022-10-25, version 2.3.3* This app has been tremendous in calming my mind, addressing my GAD (generalized anxiety disorder). It provides peace, centeredness, stability, and focus with my mind. I recommend it to anyone suffering from anxiety. ### 5/5 — Wonderful *2022-09-03, version 2.3.3* Can’t recommend this app highly enough. A lot of thought and care has obviously gone into each session. Very grateful. ### 5/5 — Review *2022-03-13, version 2.3.2* I’m enjoying the doctor comments however I prefer reading and reflecting more aka Tony Robbins Awaken The Giant Within I’m reading now and finding it very helpful ### 5/5 — Amazing *2022-02-13, version 2.3.2* I have not had this app for long but can already tell I am going to love it. Can’t wait to see how many ways this can help me. ### 5/5 — Positive experience so far 💜 *2021-12-17* I haven’t had the app long & I've Listened to only 2 different sleep hypnosis recordings & only one additional recording under a specific subject (program). Admittedly, although I currently use subliminal messages & hypnosis through music, when I saw the actual length of time the recordings are, I was skeptical & so happy I had found a free 7-day trial. The sleep music I ℎ𝑎𝑑 been using EVERY night, all night 𝑚𝑎𝑦 have had some affect & I fully intended on listening to it after using this sleep hypnosis; I just figured I’d change from this app to my music after the SHORT hypnosis session was over. Well, (lol) I have not listened to 𝐴𝑁𝑌𝑇𝐻𝐼𝑁𝐺 after these 3 consecutive sleep sessions because I’m OUT! As for actual sleep, I’ve slept through the entire night each time about 7-hours before waking. A tiny bit of my backstory; I haven’t been able to sleep more than 3-4 hours straight in several years & 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 was while taking Rx my Doctor prescribed to help. It’s not enough to say, I’m excited to dive into the specific sessions & probably obvious by now, that I’m most certainly going to purchase the yearly subscription. Thank you to the developers for making this app & pricing it reasonably where it should be accessible to many users 🙌🏻 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
