They changed and improved it a lot！ new paid features were added！ things look nicer than they did... My one disappointment at this moment is the search option - it used to be possible to search by a key word through the sea of relaxs！ but it seems limited now and gives me only a few options. * ***************************************** * This is my second review and I don't see that anything has been done since the first review. I see a lot of app users are not happy with the current bookmarking situation either: it's impossible to see what relaxs one already played or reviewed (why am I allowed to leave reviews every single time after I do same relax over and over again?). Is there a way to separate already played relaxs by giving ### 5/5 — Learning New Way to Meditate *2019-11-21, version 1.1.2* This app is so amazing for relax~ before I found this app I was using Headspace~ for Headspace you have to purchase a lot of the items for a monthly fee that was a little too much for me. I am so happy that I found this app~ they have a lot of soothing relaxs for sleep~ calming down~ getting rid of stress and worry’s and more. I definitely recommend this app to anyone who would like to either start or continue the amazing benefits of relax. I use this app every day to calm down and every night to help me fall asleep. ???? ### 5/5 — Sleeping without drugs! *2019-11-20, version 1.1.1* So nice to have this option. Sometime I combine it with other healthy habits; yoga, relaxtea, reading, journaling. Some stories put me to sleep better than others. If they are too interesting I tend to still be awake. I love the variety of stories and always look forward to new stories. Erik Braa and Allen S. Are my favorites. I have also used the meditation with Tamera. ### 5/5 — This has been a very rewarding journey *2019-11-20, version 1.1.1* For me so far ### 5/5 — Absolutely Wonderful *2019-11-20, version 1.1.1* This app helped me improve my awareness of thoughts by teaching the art of meditation. I felt like it eased me into understanding meditation and offers a lot of great material to relaxan anxious mind. I have told all of my friends about it and frequently send them the gift invites when they become available. Definitely worth sharing. ### 5/5 — Great app *2019-11-20, version 1.1.1* Awesome ### 5/5 — Love this app so so so much! *2019-11-20, version 1.1.1* Get it! ### 5/5 — I love how you can mix your own sounds. This has really helped me fall asleep much easier *2019-11-20, version 1.1.1* Excellent product!! ### 5/5 — What a game changer *2019-11-20, version 1.1.1* The mind is tricky and our world can be stressful. We can self sabotage almost anything. I’m grateful to relax for providing a place where we can get to know the mind and our thoughts. I’ve been using it now consistently for nearly 6 months. Morning and evenings. It’s as usual now as drinking coffee or brushing my teeth. It’s habit and it’s a game changer. Perspective, peace and confidence. ### 5/5 — Great for starting, building arelax *2019-11-19, version 1.1.1* I used this app for about a year before I opted to pay for it. But really， there is so much awesome content for free that I could have used it forever without paying. The timer works well， I sleep better because I used the yoga nidra relaxs， and I enjoy the ad free environment. I really wanted to support the app owner’s mission of keeping relax free for all， so I subscribed. While I have listened to the courses and definitely enjoy them， they are not necessary for this app to be useful. Highly recommend for the beginning meditator who wants to establish a regular practice. ### 5/5 — Life changing *2019-11-19, version 1.1.1* I've been using this app for a while now and working on relax practices. I am so thankful that you've kept it free. The purchase in app choices on others are quite discouraging. but I'm able to really delve into more types and helps me keep an open mind rather than just going with what other apps choose for me. This app has done wonders for my recovery and I recommend it to everyone I know who meditates or is thinking about it. Thank you so much for giving away freely this gift. you have no idea how much it has encouraged me to grow. ### 5/5 — The only relax app you need *2019-11-19, version 1.1.1* I was nervous to try this app because I didn’t want a subscription service. But I tried it！ doesn’t have one！ which I was very relieved. I tried the Loving Kindness session first and was so relaxed and calm after just minutes. If I had to change anything though！ I’d like to see more content like relax for anxiety！ depression or anger. I understand that might not make it a free app but wouldn’t mind a one time fee to get constant updates and new content. But I am completely satisfied so far and will definitely recommend your app to my friends! ### 5/5 — Great app! *2019-11-18, version 1.1.1* I have checked out a lot of different relax apps; I have been disappointed by many of them due to the fact that you get into the app and use it once or twice and many sections are locked out until you pay an expensive yearly charge. This is not true with relax there are many different options from the timer where you can design your own relax time~ guided relaxs and daily insight relaxs that are free! There is a paid option for courses however I’m impressed that the yearly charge for the paid option is considerably less than most apps I have found. I plan to stay with relax for a long time and every day so far I have been amazed by the different options offered. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2019-11-17, version 1.1.1* I'm a licensed mental health therapist and sometimes it's hard for me to de-stress after a long day. This app has helped me improve my mood. breathing. and daily mindfulness. I would highly encourage this app for anyone who commutes often. lives a stressful life. or has a significant amount of anxiety. ### 5/5 — Love the app *2019-11-16, version 1.1.1* I've been using this app since 2013! I must say the improvements that have been done are amazing and I'm grateful for the developers and for the team that is behind this app! I do agree with some of the other suggestions for improvements for the app I think the fast forward and rewind button's would be super helpful for the guided relaxs especially if you do the same ones over and over! Keep up the great work and I am appreciative for the team keeping us updated on things to come and the future of the app I'm a lifelong supporter! ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2019-11-15, version 1.1.1* Wonderful meditations and mindfulness practices! Definitely recommend ### 5/5 — Problems with relax Timer *2019-11-14, version 1.1.1* This app is a hub for any and all meditators. I have personally been using this app for the last three years. I had no experience meditating before that！ and I was torn between a couple of apps. But I found myself coming back to relax. The community and the excellent selection can’t be beat. This yourself ten minutes a day！ and relax will help you be glad you did so. Thanks again! ### 5/5 — Very valuable app *2019-11-14, version 1.1.1* Today marks my 154th consecutive day of mindful work using relax. I don’t start or end my day without it. I said this before...This app has something for everyone！ and if you are not sure there is plenty to explore. If you are not convinced！ the app is free! I have had so many apps over the years using iPhone！ some free and some I paid for. I have never found any with such a high quality of content. relax is always improving and offering more. There is a new feature that offers courses from some of the teachers that cost $4.99！ and I have some favorite teachers I don’t mind supporting. I have encouraged family！ friends！ and co-workers to try this app. It is disappointing that some are resistant！ but a few have tried and are using it. They have expressed sincere gratitude.

Tried to get subscription, it charged me but would not let me listen. Tried to make an account and it says all my emails have been used although I have never used one in the app. Just want to be able to listen to these items. Would love for help. Tried uninstall and restarting phone to redownload and nothing changes. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2020-08-12, version 1.2.1* Paid £9.99 for a 3 month subscription but the app will not unlock and I can’t seem to access any support to fix the problem ### 5/5 — Amazing *2020-03-18, version 1.2.0* I never usually write reviews but I felt the need to say how amazing this app is! The stories are really good and I’ve never heard an end. There no subscriptions! I love this app and I recommend it over all of the sleep apps I’ve seen as it is really effective and there’s no payment! ### 5/5 — Best app for sleep and meditation *2019-11-22* This app is the best app that I used for sleep and meditation. It is believed that music could deliver better sleep for everyone and refuel energy for daily life. No ad and free to use is the advantage for this relax meditation app and it is why I choose relax meditation over calm. ### 5/5 — Best free relax app *2019-11-22, version 1.1.2* Fantastic! I use if every day。 Definitely people with anger issues should try this out! ### 5/5 — Extremely relaxing! *2019-11-22, version 1.1.2* There’s a lot to love about relax. I racked up more than 10 hours during the beta. The one feature I want to call out is the “Save Extra Time” feature. It keeps track of the extra time when you go over (e.g.。 if you start a 10 minute unguided but end up going for 20 minutes。 the extra 10 minutes is tracked). ### 5/5 — Great App *2019-11-22, version 1.1.2* Love this app i have been using every night for over a year~ cannot fall asleep without it~ love it~ Thank you~ I just discovered the new relax feature. I use it when i wake up to start my day relaxed with a positive mind. It works like magic~ Thank you~ ### 5/5 — I love this app! *2019-11-22, version 1.1.2* This app has helped me through tough issues in the past. I will recommend this app for all who have a few issues. It will not only relax the mind。 it will also revitalize the most important parts of your way of thinking. ### 5/5 — Soothing all experience and great data tracking *2019-11-21, version 1.1.2* I discovered your app at a desparate moment in a "too quiet" hotel room on vacation. I usually sleep with a huge powerfull fan on。 and I needed something to send through the bluetooth speaker that would give me good "noise". I love how you can touch the hanging tiles that each have a different sound and you can layer them together to get just what you want! Very useful. I can see how this would be handy for a mom with a baby who needs to calm down and go to sleep. Many free choices and options to upgrade to bigger sound packages. This app is fun to just play around with! I dont want to spend my vacation time fooling around with this app。 but it sure is tempting!! Rebecca H. from California ### 5/5 — Very relaxing! ✨ *2019-11-21, version 1.1.2* Learn the practice here. simple yet efficacious. Apply it everywhere with or without your device. ## Most praised reviews (2 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Support for consistent practice *2019-11-21, version 1.1.2* This is the original！ the genuine and the broadest. This is the only app I can think of that could save or greatly improve your life. 30 years ago I took a course in Transcendental relax！ it never stuck. I downloaded IT 2 yrs. ago and before long committed daily for life. I don’t commit to much！ so that alone was a breakthrough. I know some others apps have attracted big VC money and IPO riches but I have not tried！ for researched well and I appreciate this is essentially a non-profit where most proceeds go to contributors. It’s had some nice improvements and format changes recently such as to its SLEEP section. It has not made some obvious improvements I sent them. Such as they misuse the word FINNISH at least as American English speakers use it. Bless their hearts but they are either ### 5/5 — No longer a user friendly app *2019-11-21, version 1.1.2* I suffer from depression and I have tried everything medication etc. and nothing has worked. I am a Christian and I do pray and I do believe Jesus is the answer！ but I do believe that it’s okay to meditate on correct thoughts. When I meditate I can feel the stress and anxiety leaving my body and it feels so good. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
