It’s uniquely helpful for so many things. Aj has a gift for the world and the app is beautifully design. Unfortunately and the reason for my 3 stars ( it gets a 5 for content but 1 because for technical reasons I can’t listen. Average that it gets 3 stars). After more and more material has been added I find I cannot listen without it crashing. Have tried listening in many different locations so I think their servers can’t handle the load. I sent an email about the issue. Twice. Doesn’t seem to be getting any better and it’s been some months. If it was possible to download it might help. Many thanks. ### 4/5 — Help *2021-05-28, version 9.0* Love the app but now I can’t open some of the apps they just aren’t working. Not sure what’s wrong but you need to fix them ### 4/5 — Last update problem *2020-08-06, version 9.0* I love it and I’ve been using it for years. But I don’t get why in this last update there was suddenly this sound chunk added about squeezing your fingers together? It kind of stressed me out because I had been so used to and familiar with the regular flow of it. Also it interrupts the music. At one point there’s also repetitive instructions (always have been there) which I’m not sure if are intentional but have always been annoying. ### 2/5 — Great meditations, awful awful “update” *2020-07-28, version 9.0* I wish I never had allowed the app to update to the new look. It is terribly bright with no night time shift and has gone completely backwards in terms of look and functionality. Playback preferences are buried, no more calming visuals (just a blinding white screen) and unsophisticated graphics. With so many visually appealing & calming apps out there to compete with, it’s hard to see why these changes were made. Otherwise Andrew makes quality recordings. ### 3/5 — Used to be able to play and pause with Apple headphones *2020-06-23, version 9.0* Love using the app but with the latest update I can no longer play and pause the meditations with the button on my Apple headphones. Used to be able to do this with the previous version and I found very handy at night when I didn’t want the brightness of the screen to wake anyone around me up. ### 2/5 — Bring back the chime!! *2020-06-18, version 9.0* Why did the hourly chime change to a standard notification sound?! I hate it. It certainly isn’t soothing—the opposite, in fact. ### 2/5 — Please fix script *2019-05-29, version 3.38* Positivity is a nice app but I get distracted by the script which is not fluid. At the start it says you end with sleep.. no I don’t And then there is a lot of unnecessary repetition before the actual suggestions which gets irritating . It should be possible to edit it properly eh? When the editing is inadequate I have like I am not valued as a customer. Jenny ### 3/5 — Needs an update *2018-11-25, version 3.38* I love the app and find it super useful however the setting that allows you to wake up says during the therapy that you will fall asleep. Just needs an audio edit to fix that part then it gets five stars. ### 4/5 — Post reminder doesn't work *2016-08-06, version 8.34* I bought the large package and the reminder app doesn't work on any of them. Also I with you had the create abundance and money magnetism available in the apple App Store too. ### 2/5 — Strange this app gave insomnia.... *2016-05-19, version 8.34* I have many AJ apps but 2 of them give me "side effects" this one gave insomnia and when I finally got some sleep, when I woke up I was in a really bad mood all day long like never before. I didn't try it again because the experience was traumatising, and I don't like to feel it again. The other app that gave me nightmares was relax, I don't know why. ### 5/5 — Positivity *2015-05-21, version 8.34* There are many times when you get frustrated and fed up with life. I alternate between positivity and the success downloads. In a day or two I have a much better positive happy outlook.. It's so easy, play them and do to sleep, wake up to something so much better! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2014-09-22, version 8.32* Probably one of the best guided meditations I have done. His soft voice with a calming Scottish accent is wonderfully soothing and I always wake feeling amazing (even if I fall asleep and wake the next morning). I was looking for something positivity based to do as I was getting bogged down with work stresses and couldn't change my mind frame so I looked in the aps store and found this. I've only done it 3 times and it has made a difference already. I would highly recommend this :) ### 5/5 — Love these recordings! *2014-06-13, version 8.32* I use a number of Andrew Johnson recordings. His voice is pleasant to listen to and this positive, healthy suggestions are solid and get at the root of the issues you may be experiencing. ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2014-05-11, version 8.32* I've downloaded the whole range. I had big problems sleeping, no longer. I use the deep sleep app every night. I'm asleep within a few minutes and get an extremely restful night. Thanks Andrew! Lifesaver. ### 5/5 — Bugs fixed for iphone4, back to perfect! *2014-04-29, version 8.32* All the Andrew Johnson apps have been my go-to apps for relaxation and inspiration for at least 2 years. Thank you! ### 4/5 — Another great app from Andrew Johnson *2014-03-01, version 6.1* I first used the Relax Lite app and have since bought many more. I downloaded this Positivity one a while ago along with a couple of others, and only recently started using it as my 'Get To Sleep' AJ soundtrack! It's been almost three weeks of nightly use, and even from the first morning, I have felt so much happier & more motivated. The relaxation format is slightly different to the others (I like that as I have memorised the beginning of Deep Sleep!), but it still works; I'm normally asleep by the end of the 'stairs'. As I've never listened to it while awake, I have no idea what he says in the main body, so haven't felt the frustration that others have about the supposed inconsistencies. I would suggest to those who've struggled with it, to listen to it as an aid to falling asleep & let the 'brainwashing' happen subconsciously. It has seriously worked for me (I have depression & ME, so very much prone to low moods) ### 2/5 — FIX THE DELAYED WAKE FOR CRYING OUT LOUD *2014-01-10, version 6.1* I have many of Andrew's apps and have held off reviewing for years in the hope that the glitch that means that the delayed wake (to wake you at a desired time as an alarm) doesn't operate - the app simply goes into wakeup mode as soon as the 'repeats' finish - would be fixed in an update. This glitch kicked in a few months after the apps were launched and as yet there is no update to fix and make the apps fit for the purpose I downloaded them . Very disappointing as Andrew had had a lot of my cash. ### 5/5 — Life changing *2013-09-30, version 6.1* I don't write too many reviews, but with Andrew Johnson's apps, I can't say enough good things about them. From day 1, they began working for me, and I love now going to sleep and waking with different ones. I'm ever grateful for them. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not working since update *2014-04-23, version 8.31* The app freezes on iPhone 4. Have had this app for a long time and sad that I can't use it with the latest interface. I noticed that the issue of freezing also happens on your Deep Sleep app that has also had the interface update. 1 star. ### 1/5 — Usually a fan of Andrew Johnson *2013-08-17, version 6.1* I like Andrew's apps, but I'm afraid on this one the sound is very muffled & not clear to listen to at all. The sound quality needs improving please? ### 1/5 — Didn't do anything for me *2012-08-25, version 6.1* I like Andrews other apps and find them very useful, but this one just didn't do it for me at all. The initial part where you are talked down into a state of relaxation did nothing of the sort, unlike his other apps where I can feel myself sinking into relaxation very quickly. The whole premise behind the main section, where Andrew says phrases that you are then supposed to repeat in your mind, adds an aspect of interactivity to the process which just doesn't tally when you're supposed to be in a relaxed and trance-like state at that point. Then there's the phrases themselves, many of which, in my case are just not true. Ok I must have issues! But either way at the end I did not feel remotely relaxed, in fact I finished feeling very frustrated and almost angry. The exact opposite of what's intended here. Sorry to give this one a bad review but the content and format did just not help me at all. ### 1/5 — Nothing special *2011-12-20, version 6.1* Voice is of a man and not soothing. It's a guided prompt of a man telling u to relax . ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2011-11-27, version 6.1* I am a huge fan of Andrew's apps, and I have generally found them to be very helpful. This one, however, is a total dud. The program is not structured like the others, and I just don't find it to be compelling or effective. Very disappointing. ### 1/5 — Edit *2011-07-10, version 5.999* Return to thumb-forefinger. This one just doesn't work as well as his other programs ### 1/5 — His worst app. By far. *2011-03-20, version 5.999* I love these apps. The accent, music...everything awesome. This app is the only exception. The induction is horrible. it feels like he is telling me to walk down the stairs for ten minutes, not to mention he says STOP of stairs. It is the worst one I have purchased, and the only one I regret. ### 1/5 — No way *2011-03-09, version 5.999* I have all the aj apps. They are fine but dodgy. Better free stuff out there. Big gaps. Volume issues and never an update. Im not impressed. ### 1/5 — Delayed Wake Not Working *2011-02-10, version 5.99* Andrews apps send me to sleep nicely, but this one's wake function never happens, just gets stuck on waiting to wake loop. ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2010-12-21, version 5.99* Used every night for two weeks. Doesn't work at all. Just a gimmick to get your money. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Transformative *2023-10-23, version 9.2* This app has transformed my health by giving me back control over my sleep patterns since completing cancer treatment. All is well, but as many know there are major lifestyle changes, and disturbed sleep was one of them. Especially the classic 3 AM to 6 AM time when the brain is naturally in a lighter sleep, I find myself rising, and instead of even letting myself fully awake I just put the headphones on and let Mr. Johnson invite me back into sleep. I attribute his soothing voice and clever technique to helping me turn a corner in my survivorship. I’ve turned countless naysayers into converts and am grateful for his work. ### 5/5 — Helped me during a depressed suicidal moment *2022-12-17, version 9.2* I swear by this app. I had a really bad day and was having suicidal thoughts I was fighting and this app basically helped me fight through it. If you’re looking for something to help you this is the app. ### 5/5 — Positively a great app! *2021-11-05, version 9.2* I’ve been using many of these apps for many years and love most all of them. I get benefit from the Positivity app with its subtle suggestions just like the others. I have a big library of Andrew Johnsons work and will continue to use them as needed. ### 5/5 — Very helpful *2017-08-08, version 3.38* I feel less stressed and more positive and look forward to daily reminders to deep breath and relax. Magical ### 5/5 — Grounding for this new CEO of large Org *2017-08-05, version 3.38* The depth of quietness I can reach in such a remarkably short program is has profoundly ground me in what can feel like a world of chaos and change. Andrew has a pulse on my beat. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Positivity *2017-02-28* Excellent app. Use it almost everyday. ### 5/5 — Improved sleep and mood *2016-12-29, version 3.38* I have been using the app for almost three weeks and have noticed my sleep and mood have both improved. The app is easy to use. ### 5/5 — Just love it *2016-06-07, version 8.34* 5 stars - easy to use, very relaxing and I always have a great day after using this app. I put this on and drift off to sleep to Andrew's soothing voice fairly quickly. I'd highly recommend it to anyone with anxiety, depression or feeling a bit low. I have quite a few of Andrew's apps: deep sleep and positivity are my favorites. ### 5/5 — A tool fro every day life *2016-02-11, version 8.34* Andrew Johnson apps are terrific tools for managing the ups & downs of every day life. Positivity helps me 'reset' my confidence & hopeful outlook when life feels discouraging or hard. I work in mental health where simply tools such as these apps can actively assist people in developing more positive and productive ways of thinking about themselves & their everyday activities SJ ### 5/5 — Helpful for anxiety *2015-07-02, version 8.34* Helpful for anxiety --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
