### 4/5 — Work well

*2019-05-30, version 2.2*

I really like this ap for going to sleep. Kept my mind from going all over the place. I didn’t use it for a while and now display is different and I can’t read it anymore because the print is to small. Needs a different option for poor sighted.

### 3/5 — Great App

*2015-02-22, version 1.500*

I really enjoy the app and notice a significant difference using the different programs I have purchased.  However, the latest version is suddenly crashing.  Crashing every time when I edit the play list or try to add a program to playlist.

### 4/5 — Relaxing;uplifting

*2015-01-20, version 1.401*

I like it; the voice is soothing & the pace is just right. I've just started but do think it is belong already. I'm hoping to notice s significant difference in 30 days.

### 2/5 — Please reinstall the old inductions

*2014-12-08, version 1.401*

I have 5 of these apps and have listened to them for a while. I cannot get used to the new audio and will delete the apps if the audio is not reverted back to what it used to be.

### 4/5 — They work- wish they were cheaper

*2014-06-17, version 1.401*

I think each app @ 3.99 is overpriced. That said, the sessions do work for me. It's pseudo-science, so if you're the kind of person that would respond to a placebo, this works too.

### 2/5 — Do not enjoy the updates

*2014-05-31, version 1.401*

I used the previous version of this app for roughly 40 days in a row and felt more calm and positive overall. I just began using the app again since the updated induction and do not enjoy it. The speed of his voice is too fast for me and I do not feel I have enough time to breath calmly and deeply to relax. I had to turn the app off because it's so fast I couldn't relax or concentrate on his words. I find this disappointing since I found the app so helpful in the past.

### 2/5 — Used to be great...

*2014-03-16, version 1.400*

I used to listen to one of these great tracks every night.  This new version has a new recording, and he speaks faster, and in a more 'clipped' tone.  Have had to go to another guided meditation until they fix it!

### 4/5 — Good buy

*2014-03-13, version 1.400*

Awesome app , highly recommend.

### 4/5 — Worth it

*2014-03-07, version 1.300*

I like the fact that you can buy multiple programs in one app. The mans voice is soothing I always fall asleep. I only had it for a week so I'm going to reserve if it's effective or not I will comeback later.

### 5/5 — Meditation app

*2013-11-30, version 1.300*

My favourite meditation app so far

### 5/5 — Hypnosis

*2013-11-25, version 1.300*

Very good wording. Soothing voice. Easy to listen to. Notice results quickly.

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2013-10-30, version 1.300*

Great app, listen to it every night. I fall asleep to this on and it's really helped me become an all around better, more positive person

### 3/5 — Very basic for the price

*2013-10-10, version 1.300*

I read the details and thought there'd be lots of options.. There are options but essentially there's one hypnosis session.

The wake later function doesn't work - the app does say not to rely on it as an alarm clock so I guess they know the feature doesn't work but can't fix it.

There are better hypnosis apps out there with more sessions in one app for the same price or less. 

There are options to buy different sessions in the app - but no discounts for multiple purchases etc which would be good.

The hypnosis itself is good - not the best I've used but I feel it has worked - but my review of this isn't too positive so perhaps not as much as I thought!!!!

### 5/5 — Very helpful

*2013-09-07, version 1.300*

Puts my head in a great place. Really like the configuration flexibility. This app has made a significant difference.

### 1/5 — Can’t listen when phone is locked

*2023-12-25, version 2.2*

You use to be able to listen when you closed the app or locked your phone now since the new update you can no longer do this which means you can fall to sleep to it and the app is now rubbish

### 1/5 — Induction happens but hypnosis never starts

*2023-05-21, version 2.2*

Bogus

### 1/5 — lost all my in app purchases. Re-downloaded. And I still lost 7 in app purchases.

*2018-11-04, version 1.605*

lost all my in app purchases. Re-downloaded. And I still lost 7 in app purchases.

### 1/5 — Criminals

*2015-03-17, version 1.501*

This was just fixed by toilet cleaners with no formal education in technology. My $50 went down the drain and someone should be held accountable for this. Bunch of criminals. Because they are toilet cleaners, it will take another few months before it's fixed. Don't waste your money on this piece of crap. You will need a Psychiatrist after you use this App like I now need one.

### 1/5 — Grrrrr

*2015-03-06, version 1.501*

Used to love this app and the IDEA of the playlist was cool except I can't edit it and the darn thing crashes all the time. Would love an update to fix that

### 1/5 — Waste of money!!

*2015-03-04, version 1.500*

Just purchased some tracks and every time I try and edit the playlist the app crashes. Total garbage!

### 1/5 — Titles are different but...

*2013-08-09, version 1.300*

I bought one of these and decided to try another one.  I purchased the second one and it is the same exact one.  I paid twice for nothing.

### 1/5 — BAD

*2013-08-06, version 1.300*

This was just BAD. I'm doubting that anyone bothered to actually listen to this before making it available. I'm not sure if this guy is drunk or just bored. He doesn't know the script or seem to have ever even seen it before.

### 1/5 — It puts me to sleep very well but........

*2012-01-11, version 1.094*

I read some of the ratings and figured I would try it. However, when I used it the first time it worked and I fell asleep like I needed to. But i noticed some of the apps are the same speech. Like "better brain function" or "better memory." I don't know if it's supposed to be like that but I did expect something different if I'm going to pay $4 for each one. Also when it puts me to sleep- which I love, don't get me wrong- I don't stay asleep. Because of these awful dreams I've been having I've woken up as early as 3am on my days off because of these dreams. It really doesn't do all that I thought it was made out to do.

### 1/5 — Terrible.......don't buy!!!!

*2011-09-10, version 1.08*

I purchased this app and it worked for about 6 months and now it hasn't been working for the past three.  For over a month I have been in contact with the company and they assured me an update they were working on would fix the problem (the app does not open).  Today I saw the update on iTunes and it STILL does not work.  Complete garbage!!  How can you post an update that still doesn't work!  Don't waste your money.

### 5/5 — Helps me fall asleep every time!

*2021-11-28, version 2.2*

I love all the different programs to choose from and it never fails to put me to sleep. If I wake up in the middle of the night I just turn it back on. I love this app!!!!

### 5/5 — Voice audio problem

*2017-02-19, version 1.605*

Please fix the part where the voice audio randomly gets louder

### 5/5 — Great

*2016-09-05, version 1.605*

I love this app it really helps me sleep I would take sleeping pills and still not be relaxed with this app I fall asleep fast and stay asleep and I feel so relaxed it really helps

### 5/5 — Worth purchasing

*2015-01-16, version 1.401*

This app works for me for two reasons, the background music is gentle and unobtrusive & the guys voice is peaceful and soothing. This app is free from loud voices bellowing RELAX or commanding you not to think about your worries. It's one of the few good ones & is worth the money I spent.

### 5/5 — Power of positive thinking app

*2014-08-26, version 1.401*

I have been using this app for a while now. I wake up each morning feeling positive, up lifted and ready to tackle any challenge that comes my way. It is such a simple and easy app to use with many options for different situations and areas of concern. Simply put its just a fantastic app :D

### 5/5 — Forever thankful

*2014-08-07, version 1.401*

I have been listening to your tapes nearly two years now I suffer chronic pain fatigue and fibromyalgia . Your tapes have been my savour the beach the boat gentle waves, usually asleep by the time I reach the island rarely hear the end now.. For that their are not words to thank you enough.. Insomnia was my greatest enemy until I discovered your tapes that is up to three days ago and you changed the words to countdown I haven't slept in three days please give ment beach boat ocean and Island back forever grateful, with many thanks Jill

### 5/5 — Massive Value

*2014-07-27, version 1.401*

I'm impressed by this package. Easy to use, great inductions, the voice is great and the content is not superficial. There is wisdom in the material and it works from the inside out. Thanks. My suggestion for future versions is to have functionality to play multiple tracks consecutively.

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2014-02-05, version 1.300*

It really works!

### 5/5 — Very helpful

*2014-01-10, version 1.300*

This is a very useful app

### 5/5 — Highly recommended

*2013-12-07, version 1.300*

Hi highly recommend this app. As a hypnotherapist myself I listen to this at least 4 times a week to help me stay on track with my positivity. 30 mins of walking and the self hypnosis with this app creates a positive start to my day and keeps me in a good frame of mind.
