### 5/5 — Well worth getting!

*2014-10-17, version 1.4*

I regularly use six of Patrick Browning's apps from the Lifestyle and the Eating and Weight categories.  Thankfully I haven't needed anything from the Medical section.  All have been really good value for money and are well worth the time. I recommend them highly to anyone thinking about purchasing one or more of them.

### 5/5 — Stopped biting nails

*2014-06-12, version 1.4*

I was not sure this would work as id bitten my nails for as long as i could remember. It didn't work at first but one day something in my brain just said don't bite and i haven't bitten since. For years i tried by myself to stop but failed.

### 5/5 — Excellent way to take control

*2013-08-29, version 1.2*

I have used self hypnosis for some years. I use it to relax and to unwind but also to enforce ideas of how I want to be. This app is a great help both in how to learn self hypnosis but also as a framework for further reinforcement.

### 5/5 — Fabulous

*2013-08-17, version 1.2*

This series of self hypnosis apps are fabulous...they help me to deeply relax every time...usually so I fall asleep.

I've done hypnosis for real, and this series by Patrick are better than that and much cheaper....these are great value for the benefits achieved?

My only request is please do a pregnancy specific recording!

### 5/5 — Ahhhh :)

*2013-08-12, version 1.2*

Early days, but certainly let's reminds me of what relaxed should feel like!!

### 5/5 — Try it

*2013-08-11, version 1.2*

I was very surprised with this app. Have to be honest I wasn't expecting this to work at all , only downloaded it out of boredom thought I'd give it a go because am a very irritable person that doesn't sit still for a second , so I was shocked how calm & relaxed I am nowadays even family & friends have noticed . So absolute app for me :-)

### 5/5 — A skeptic proven wrong

*2013-08-10, version 1.2*

I think the conditions have to be just right but when this works it works, I was surprised at myself how impressive the results were but I felt everything g he was saying and have noticed changes in myself, give this app a go!

### 5/5 — Great

*2013-08-04, version 1.2*

Awesome app. Great to take Largatol to too!!!

### 5/5 — Calming for my anxiety

*2013-08-03, version 1.2*

I really enjoy this app, I am very stressed at the moment, but Patrick's voice is helping me to be calm and relaxed and  and stay in the moment.. Always asleep before the end, and feel so restful.

### 5/5 — This app really helps me sleep

*2013-05-22, version 1.1*

I'm usually a real cynic about these types of apps. But I have to say that I've never felt so relaxed in my entire life and the sleep lesson made me go to sleep and I never heard the end of The session as i was fast asleep snoring!! Don't be old cynic like me and just give it a go and I promise you will feel so so relaxed.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Problem

*2022-05-25, version 1.18*

App is unavailable- trying to open: it flashes up for a moment, then it disappears.

### 1/5 — Great app but now doesn't work

*2022-05-24, version 1.18*

Used to be good but immediately crashes on opening

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2019-10-18, version 1.9*

App quit working a few months ago. The seasons I bought are now worthless. Very poor sound recording. No service when trying to contact them.

### 3/5 — Poorly developed

*2019-01-24, version 1.9*

This app has no settings at all that the listener can control. The sound is so low it is impossible to follow his voice.  I found it absolutely useless.  I am going to try to get a refund.  I had the sound turned up as high as possible and even tried to use ear buds, but that did not help.

### 3/5 — App issue

*2016-10-18, version 1.7*

Session purchases from inside the app do not appear to be working

### 4/5 — Love Patrick's voice

*2016-05-01, version 1.7*

One of my favorite apps

### 4/5 — Very good!

*2014-04-03, version 1.4*

Early days, but having used this just a couple of times, I really think it has helped to reduce my anxiety and improved the quality of my sleep. Great stuff!

### 4/5 — Nice app

*2013-12-31, version 1.4*

This is an effective tool for working with the mind body connection.
It allows one to direct their own progress.

### 4/5 — Excellent!

*2013-08-11, version 1.2*

Does exactly what it says on the label.

### 4/5 — Skeptical at first but remarkable results...

*2013-08-02, version 1.2*

At first I was slightly skeptical about the app but it delivered interesting results; I had never experienced hypnosis before but I definitely went into a deep, dream like state! A must for anyone interested in hypnosis or just to try out on a quiet evening!

### 5/5 — B

*2025-02-17, version 1.20*

Great👍

### 5/5 — Thoroughly enjoyable

*2021-02-07, version 1.16*

I have tried quite a few hypnosis and meditation apps and  have to say I keep coming back to Patrick Browning.  Perhaps it is his voice, I don’t know.  I used this app daily for many months and now on and off over several years and found it very helpful.  I guess I was using it so often it was Patrick’s voice I was hearing as my own thoughts!  Yes perhaps the app is limited compared to others, but the sessions are very reasonably priced  and effective.  It’s also not rife with upselling and doesn’t try to cover every possible topic and I find it refreshing that there is no session on finances, money and abundance.

### 5/5 — A reassuring and comforting friend

*2020-11-30, version 1.16*

A wonderful warm and reassuring voice to help you quieten anxiety, relax an overactive mind and ease yourself into blissful relaxation. 
Having suffered from insomnia and anxious thoughts for years, I am now able to keep those worrisome and negative thoughts at bay and my sleep has improved enormously.

### 5/5 — No more nail-biting

*2017-07-26, version 1.9*

Having been a nail-biter for 37 years and tried various other ways to stop, I downloaded this app with only £2.99 or whatever to lose - and haven't bitten my nails since. Five months in now, my nails look amazing and I only had to listen to the session once! Going to try to kick the chocolate habit next...

### 5/5 — Impressive

*2017-02-14, version 1.9*

Update: The developers have issued a fix (very quickly too). App works well and the hypnosis sessions still get me deeply relaxed! 

Having tried hypnosis before without much success, I wasn't sure what to expect.

After listening to the 'learn self-hypnosis' freebie I was relaxed within minutes. So much so that I've bought a few of the paid ones. For me, they all leave me deeply relaxed. 

I can also now get myself very relaxed using the self hypnosis technique he suggests. For me, these sessions work and are well worth the money.

I've also had two 'lucid' dreams so far as a result of listening to the lucid dreams session. Great stuff!

### 5/5 — Helps us in troubled times

*2017-02-04, version 1.8*

We recently lost our dear son and Patrick's app has helped us to get to sleep and has reduced our anxiety. We started with the free self hypnosis download and then purchased Relax Into Sleep and Relax In Your Garden. 

Patrick has such a gentle, relaxing reassuring voice. Combined with the beautiful soft music, water sound effects and bird noises we soon drift off to sleep and feel refreshed for the first time in months since our loss thanks to his positive suggestions.

The downloads help us through the  stress of the day as we adjust to life without our son and have reduced anxiety levels.

Thank you Patrick.

### 5/5 — The Best!!

*2016-10-11, version 1.7*

I have over 100 hypnosis apps on my phone. Patrick Browning is by far the best!

### 5/5 — Motivation

*2016-07-15, version 1.7*

I love this app and the spoken command and clarity of Patrick.
Use daily,give it a go!.

### 5/5 — Patrick Browning

*2016-01-29, version 1.7*

I've tried a few apps/websites in the past with regards to self hypnosis and cannot recommend this app strongly enough.
Not quite sure how I came about this, but is far superior to any previously tried, soothing, relaxing and stimulating is an understatement!
The additional (and inexpensive) add ons are well worth it.

### 5/5 — And relax!

*2015-12-05, version 1.5*

Really calming voice and helped me deal with a bout of insomnia
