great app

good customisable app, only complaint is i don’t understand the exercise after lifting eyebrows…

Never heard the end bc I fall asleep!

I got this app to help process grief, because I read about some researchers who are studying the use of PMR for that purpose. I do think it’s helping, but the only problem is that it apparently relaxes me so much that I fall asleep about five minutes in like clockwork!

I’ve been doing Basic - Advanced with just the voice, no music or nature sounds because I use a white noise machine for sleep anyway. I get through the lower and upper arms on both sides, then the last thing I’m ever aware of is somewhere about the face. I don’t usually have trouble falling asleep anyway, but for people who do this might be a magic bullet.

I was somewhat doubtful about the app because it hasn’t been updated in four years, but it works fine. I can’t comment on the background sound options because I don’t use them, but I’m just glad I can turn them all the way down so they don’t fight with my white noise.

Thanks for the nive feedback. Greetings, Anke & Team

I love all the options!

This app helped me establish PMR as a bedtime routine, because it’s so easy to use. I especially love setting the background music with waves and wind sounds, as it helps lull me to sleep after the exercise is finished. Worth every penny - everyone needs to try PMR as part of their sleep hygiene protocol ❤️.

Great that it helps you. Thank you for the nice feedback. Kind regards, Anke & team

Love that it is customizable

You can select exactly the type and length of the relaxation, customize background noise, and know exactly what you are getting.

Progressive muscle relaxation is great. Often works for people that can’t meditate and are irritated by other forms of relaxation.

Really Excellent

I have tried other PMR apps and before that programs on cassette tapes. The narrator’s voice and speaking tone is very relaxing. 20 minutes of this is much better than extended meditation which did nothing to relax me. You must get this!

Thank you very much for the nice feedback, we really appreciate it. Best regards, Anke & team
