I found this app and have been using it everyday and it has helped me so much with my anxiety. I have the premium version and it is well worth it because I use this everyday. I love to mix up the sleep sounds and there are so many of them. I am also enjoying the new sleep stories. I travel a lot for work and I think it’s great that I can download the meditations and stories to listen to even when I don’t have wifi or my phone is in airplane mode. The relieve travel anxiety meditation really helps me. Great app! ### 5/5 — ⏰-🧟‍♀️♿️ *2020-01-08, version 1.0.30* Timer... ? I like the sounds & music & meditations BUT either 1, u hid the timer, 2, timer is only in Rest+, OR u just simply 4got. A LOT of other FREE meditation/relax//sleep have a timer. Please PLEASE ADD A TIMER!! Deleting until u put in a timer. This is rediculous. ### 5/5 — Perfect *2019-05-29, version 1.0.6* I used the sleep meditation and must have fallen asleep within the first 3 minutes!! So great!! ### 4/5 — Pay? *2019-05-16, version 1.0.3* The app is quite good but, you have to pay for some! But you can even make your own! ### 5/5 — Ultimate Relaxation *2019-04-27, version 1.0* Fantastic app. Soothing, easy to use and really helps you unwind. ### 5/5 — Good stuff! *2019-04-26, version 1.0* My Yoga instructor recommended this App to me and I’m not disappointed. Very creative with an array of unique relaxation/focus tools that can be utilized by almost anyone in their own way. I usually don’t pay for apps but I was happy with my decision on this one and the unlocked features are well worth it. Unlike most apps, I know I’ll continuously be using this. ### 5/5 — Stress relief *2019-04-26, version 1.0* I have a hard time decompressing from the day your guided meditation really helps to shut down my mind and calm the noise ### 5/5 — Lifesaver *2019-04-26, version 1.0* I am a mother to a toddler, this app is a lifesaver!! I can use it to relax anytime and in the mist needing a min to breathe. Happy mama = Happy baby. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2019-04-26, version 1.0* My sleep quality is a lot better now ! Thank you so much. ### 5/5 — Love this App! *2019-04-24, version 1.0* I’ve tried a ton of meditation apps and so far this is my favorite one! - extremely user friendly and highly recommend ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I will be cancelling *2024-07-26, version 1.1.13* This constantly will not open and I’m tired of it. Even turning G my IPad off for a while didn’t work Please post this review ### 1/5 — Misleading *2021-05-09, version 1.0.50* You get 3 or 4 for free and they are good ones. Then you have to pay either $5 a month or $60 a year. For something you get free elsewhere. ### 1/5 — So Boring! *2021-03-12, version 1.0.49* Even with the free meditations- I’m deleting the app. It shows lots of beautiful pictures in the menu, but each meditation only shows the same picture over & over. Ok- then the same person narrates everything. And I’m sorry, but her voice was part of the boredom. I also tried listening to some of the free stories. Oh brother- how corny! It sounds like the person is making it up as she goes. And I actually tend to like meditation apps - but not this one. ### 1/5 — Menteur *2021-01-23, version 1.0.49* Vous passez votre application gratuite pendant quelques jours histoire de vous faire un peut de publicité facile mai 95% de votre application reste payante. C’est une publicité mensongère et je ne pense pas que ce soit autorisé sur l’AppStore ni memes en Europe. Encore un application nulle qui propose un contenue « premium » sans intérêt et qui n’hésite pas à tricher pour espérer quelques ventes. Fuyez ! ### 1/5 — Abusé *2020-12-24, version 1.0.48* 70€ par ans c est des fada ### 2/5 — Great app *2023-07-24* when it works but it keeps giving me an error or won’t open periodically. Last night I found a free app. I would appreciate a refund! **Developer response:** Sorry you are having troubles. Have you updated to the most recent version?

I thought it was BS, rated it low, and developer replied (quickly I might add). I was wrong... there are many free sounds and other stuff BUT THIS APPEARS TO BE S 1-week freebie. I’m impressed. Sound quality seems good and there is more variety than I expected. I wanted mostly nature sounds but there are also meditations and musical stuff and weird things to me, like a hair dryer. You can layer the sounds (e.g. add crickets to wind to a lullaby). Pretty cool. But appears free for only the promo week and then it seems spendy I’m still not sure how to know which are free from the buttons alone (I’m colorblind so maybe it’s there somehow) and would prefer seeing it instead of getting the Subscribe Page. Customer service is obviously good - someone replied to my initial low rating quickly... thanks for correcting me. I’m still not sure if I’ll subscribe but am glad I’m trying it. ### 3/5 — Stole money from my account! *2019-06-21, version 1.0.9* I loaded his app to see what it was about and forgot it as installed. A few weeks later I was charged £35 for a years subscription with no notification, no warning, I hadn’t even started the weeks trial. I have spoken to Olivia Rivera who gave me instructions on how to cancel the subscription, but she has kept my money. This is stressful. Also there is a free app called rain rain which does exactly the same thing for free. ### 4/5 — Was having trouble but it’s working now. *2021-02-26, version 1.0.49* Nice layout and good sounds. Need to test it out more though. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — so many sounds to choose from *2025-07-28, version 1.1.15* love this app ### 5/5 — Very nice *2024-07-15, version 1.1.13* Very good ### 5/5 — Helps so much *2023-04-25, version 1.1.10* This app is the only way I ever get to sleep anymore 10/10 ### 5/5 — Best sleep ever *2021-07-13, version 1.0.50* @Broadcastingbrian put me onto this, so peaceful put me right to sleep. ❤️ ### 5/5 — Amazing App & an Amazing Mom *2021-06-25, version 1.0.50* I absolutely love this app!
