## Most critical reviews (7 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Horrible !

*2023-11-28*

This is the most horrible app of all time. It sounds like the weirdest robot voices.

**Developer response:** You can choose from a range of pre-installed voices, download more voices without charge, and change the pitch and speed of the pronunciation. Not all voices please everyone, just try other combinations.

### 1/5 — Anrufbeantworterstimme

*2022-04-11*

So kann man nicht entspannen. Stimme ist aus der Konserve

**Developer response:** Manche mögen es schneller, langsamer, höher oder tiefer. Passen Sie die Tonhöhe und die Sprechgeschwindigkeit mit den entsprechenden Reglern in der App an, oder wählen Sie eine andere Stimme. Laden Sie weitere Stimmen über die App Einstellungen > Bedienungshilfen > Gesprochene Inhalte > Stimmen > Deutsch herunter.

### 1/5 — Poor instructions

*2021-08-24*

Found the initial relaxation technique good but when I tried to change the exercise, the instructions were poor. Not intuitive

**Developer response:** The app offers two categories of exercises, on a single limb (hand, arm, foot, or leg) or on central body parts (like back, chin, etc.). You can choose the number of repetitions on each category. You can also change the duration of both the tension and the relaxation phase, in steps of 5 seconds. The app displays automatically the total number of exercises and the total duration after such a change. When you choose a short tension duration, the instructions are cut down to fit the tension time. Experienced users can cut the spoken instructions further down to just announcing the body part. Make a suggestion from the app if you need more changes.

### 1/5 — Schlechte spracht

*2021-03-15*

So eine schlechte Sprache habe ich noch nicht gehört . Computer Roboter da kann man nicht abschalten .

**Developer response:** Siri-Stimmen sagen nicht allen zu. Laden Sie weitere Stimmen über die App Einstellungen > Bedienungshilfen > Gesprochene Inhalte > Stimmen > Deutsch herunter. Apple erlaubt Apps leider nicht, Stimmen direkt herunterzuladen oder direkt auf die entsprechende Stelle in den Einstellungen weiterzuleiten. Sobald Sie aber erweiterte Stimmen heruntergeladen haben, können Sie sie in unserer App anwählen. Danach dürfen Sie dann abschalten.

### 1/5 — Voix robotique agressante

*2019-03-07*

L’application semble bien avec les images mais le guide à la voix robotique est stressant

**Developer response:** Téléchargez une autre voix dans les réglages.

### 2/5 — Weird robot type voice

*2019-05-24*

The app does a great job allowing you to personalize how many times, and for how long, to tense and relax each body part. As well as choosing which body part to begin with. Which is great to get what you need specifically from PMR. 

However, while doing PMR, I like soothing and relaxing voices to guide me. This app uses robot or siri type voices, which aren’t relaxing at all. A great start to the app, it would be perfect if it had a better option for voice guides.

**Developer response:** Thank you for praising our personalization options. You can also personalize the voice. The app shows you how to download and switch to enhanced voices (for free). Please try some of these voices, some of them may suit you better than others or have an accent that you prefer.

### 5/5 — PMR is very effective

*2019-10-02*

PMR has worked well enough to help me stop taking sleeping pills.

**Developer response:** We are very glad that it works for you! Good night and sleep well!
