Could you make an app for stuttering. ### 5/5 — Please create one for SELF-DISCIPLINE & PROCRASTINATION!!!! *2010-09-17, version 0* Discovered the Andrew Johnson apps a few weeks ago. Never tried anything like this before, but I love them! Deep Sleep works like a charm, and Public Speaking was helpful the day of a big presentation. I'd LOVE to see one aimed at increasing self-discipline and overcoming procrastination. I'm a writer who struggles to maintain a daily writing practice and I'd be curious to see if one of these recordings might help with facing the blank page and accomplishing my word count without being defeated by procrastination and its evil twin, perfectionism. Please consider it? I'll bet there are many others who'd be interested as well! Thanks........ ### 5/5 — Great app *2010-07-22, version 0* Gives exactly the right encouragement and confidence. I tried it for two weeks before presenting at an international conference and my performance was totally different to past experience. I enjoyed it and have never had such good feedback. Even got offered *** after! ### 5/5 — Right Time for this App *2010-05-23, version 0* The release of this app came at a good time for me. Last Friday I had to teach an audition lesson for a job I am applying for. I downloaded the app on Wednesday and used it twice before Friday. Usually they say you should use these apps daily for 3 weeks, but since I've been using Andrew Johnson's apps for several months now, I was able to benefit immediately. I was already well practiced in the self-hypnosis techniques and I had already developed a familiarity with, and trust in, Andrew Johnson's voice. The audition lesson went well. I think it would have been OK anyway, but I could tell that I was more relaxed, confident and optimistic from having used the app. Some of the concrete directions from the app, such as making eye contact, breathing out and relaxing, etc., came to my mind before and during the audition. Since I am already familiar with other Andrew Johnson apps, such as Deep Sleep, Relax and others, I was pleased to find some new techniques being tried in this one. For example, I appreciated that the directions to relax muscles happened twice during the session, rather than only once at the beginning as in the other apps. That felt particularly good and right. ### 5/5 — Well done. Very helpful *2010-05-23, version 0* I have quite a few of Andrews apps and like all the others this one is very good. I gave another public speaking fear app and they are both helpful but Andrews is much better. His voice just puts me at ease. Thank you mr Johnson. ### 5/5 — Nice *2010-05-19, version 0* Sweet stuff yo ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — i’m not stressed *2025-01-28, version 9.4* i want my money back ### 1/5 — Do not buy this app - yet. *2010-08-28, version 0* Unfortunately, there is a glitch in the recording - like a scratched CD that jumps - near the end of the induction. This startles you out of your trance, and so spoils the session. Have downloaded twice just to make sure it wasn't to do with me - and it wasn't. Emailed the developer twice and have been ignored - which I think is incredibly poor customer service to say the least. As for Andrew Johnson - I found his voice deeply relaxing and soothing, and the suggestions good. If it were not for the poor recording, I would be very pleased. Do not buy until a new version has addressed this. ### 2/5 — Likes to relax *2011-02-02* Program would work well if it didn't freeze up all the time. Others of this series are good, buy them instead. ### 2/5 — Problems with iOS 4 *2010-07-19* Since I upgraded to OS 4, this app is slow to load, slow to change between preparing and listening modes. At times there is also a lag between recordings. Please fix this. ### 3/5 — Good but pricey app. *2011-01-17, version 4.99* This is a pretty decent app but it's kind of pricey. It would be well worth the money if it addressed more issues and solutions related to public speaking. The app is more focused on getting you to relax, which if fine, but you also wanted to get over your fear of public speaking. After all that's you sought after the app and bought it in the first place. Like I said it's a good app, but the price is questionable for what you receive within in app. Just don't expect an end all solution with this app... ### 3/5 — Help!! *2010-07-09* This used to work- 5 stars when it did - but since OS 4.0 it's frozen! I've redownloaded it same problem- please fix this with an update as this was awesome, definitely 5 stars but HELP!!! ### 4/5 — Excellent but Flawed *2011-01-25, version 4.99* I had to speak in front of 320 people and was worried for weeks about it. This App really helped. It helped me keep calm and connect with the audience. I highly recommend Andrew Johnson's recording. However, there is a glitch with the app; it freezes when you want to Change the settings. Update needed. ### 5/5 — Really works *2017-05-31, version 8.38* So helpful ,thank you! ### 5/5 — Woo hoo!! Recommend A+ *2012-12-12, version 6.1* So, I have never been into these relaxation tech. however, I started to believe it when I came across Andrew J.'s app .. I was actually one of those people who laughed at people who use relax techniques ... and I thought it was all fake... little did I know that with the right app... you will believe it allll.... I've been using other AJ apps and I love it. I just started to use this pub speaking one ... I am not fully sure... But I had a brief presentation & I didn't freak like I usually do and I was able to improvise with out freaking out when I was looking at people! Note to Andrew: I wish you had a 3 apps in 1 where it helps with public speaking, confidence and positivity lol ... Or something of that sort because at nights I don't know which one I want to listen too...lol -- His voice is awesome... Other apps Ive tried in the past have freaked me out! AJ has the best voice and accent! ### 5/5 — Fantastic!! *2012-06-12* I absolutely love this app! It was a big help when my teacher announced that we had to do public speaking, the whole class went into panic mode.......but I'm just like pfft piece of cake! After woods, my teacher approached me and told me that I was just like a professional!!!!i got the highest mark in my class! Thank you,thank you,thank you! ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — All his apps are Fab! *2012-01-21, version 6.1* They do work.... Honest! I at first was a bit weary thinking he just goes on about relaxing and sleeping, with no hint of him talking about the subject, but...... This is the really clever bit, because it's so good at sending you straight to sleep. You should be fast asleep by the time he starts "brain washing" you! Don't believe me, try it! (well if you can stay awake that is). The program comes in two parts. First just gets you into a deep sleep. Second kicks in a couple of mins after the first and kinda brain washes. I think this helped with my wedding speech! Cheers! ### 5/5 — Andrew Johnson does it again *2011-12-06, version 6.1* Very good!! Helped in a presentation had no nerves after listening to this. two thumbs up ### 5/5 — Great app *2011-11-28, version 6.1* It really help me over come public speaking and also with performing thank you!!! ### 5/5 — Public speaking *2011-11-12, version 6.1* This app works. I sat on the stage waiting for my slot and I felt like I was inside a 'bubble' of calmness. I was scared the bubble would burst, but it didn't. I did the app about 5 times before talk and most importantly about 2 hours before talk. I recommend doing with good quality head phones and make sure you tell family not to disturb you. Good luck if you are about to do a talk - this app will help, I have actually used twice now for two big public talks. ### 5/5 — Addicted! *2011-03-30, version 5.0* I am a public speech teacher and I am very impress with this app. The first thing I noticed is that I am more connected in what I teach and with my audience. Another thing I speak more clearly and directly with confidence. I also feel more clear and relax before speaking in front of hundreds of people. I've been speaking for more than fifteen years and I've already more improvements after a month. It is not an app that fixes but improve you as a person. Just try this with an open and willing mind. Thx! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2011-03-30, version 5.0* Post-grad student totally petrified of public speaking... Listened to this every night for a week and practiced lots and aced my 30 min presentation! Really got rid of my nerves. ### 5/5 — Great *2011-03-24, version 5.0* Excellent app as always from Andrew. Helped me feel more relaxed when giving a presentation. Also helped me get a good night's sleep the night before. Just need one for interview nerves now. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
