### 4/5 — Good but

*2026-04-08, version 3.34*

If you want money make me pay for the initial app not a subscription good what I can do tho

### 4/5 — Really great exercises

*2026-02-25, version 3.34*

I love learning the techniques. I have only had one dream since I started, but I was able to make myself lucid. That was nice because it was otherwise a horrifying dream. I do have 2 critiques: one could add some info about how to best prep the mind for dreaming in the first place.  Also, the guide voice is just a little too quiet. Adding a little volume would help.

### 5/5 — Had a lucid dream in 3-4 days

*2026-02-25, version 3.34*

I’m still learning the app, and honestly haven’t even used it that efficiently or effectively, but I had a lucid dream within the third or fourth day of having the app so it earns five stars for me.

Definitely the most gentle way of being taught lucid dreaming I’ve experienced.

this is not the first time I’ve had a lucid dream, but I’m thrilled to have had it after three or four days of downloading g the app. Which leads me to choose to pay for the year loan subscription.

In the small amount I have communicated with Support, they have been fast to respond.

### 3/5 — It messed my mind up

*2026-02-22, version 3.34*

I used the guides to lucid dream last night, but it messed up my dream/sleep patterns. My dreams were fragmented in intervals of wakefulness and very light sleep all night. However, I remember very clearly all my dreams, and I almost never seem to recall them on a regular basis. I don’t think I reached the lucid dream state though…

### 5/5 — I had to do

*2026-02-02, version 3.34*

I had to do

### 2/5 — The “am I dreaming” reminders don’t appear to work

*2026-01-31, version 3.34*

I was really disappointed with this app. The main reason I wanted it was that it was supposed to regularly send me reminders to ask myself if I was dreaming; the idea was to get in the habit of doing this so it would carry over into the dream world.  I set mine to give me the maximum of four reminders daily, but I don’t seem to have received a single one. Nothing else in the app was particularly helpful; I don’t need an app to keep a dream journal.

### 3/5 — Good app

*2026-01-25, version 3.34*

It just cost money past basic programs

### 5/5 — First time doing this

*2025-12-26, version 3.34*

It’s amazing best sleep ever and I had control well was dreaming all nite dreams are crystal clear

### 5/5 — Dreaming

*2025-12-06, version 3.33.2*

Seems cool so far
Do recommend

### 5/5 — I love this app! Please add a widget!!

*2025-12-04, version 3.33.2*

I love this app, especially for dream journaling. It’s very intuitive and the UI is so nice. A widget would be really useful if implemented!! thank you!

### 4/5 — Wish it was cheaper

*2025-11-30, version 3.33.2*

I really wish the subscription was cheaper or free but other than that is good

### 5/5 — Best app to lucid dream

*2025-11-30, version 3.33.2*

Last night I had. Dream about me waking up at 1 am and doing my birthday presents but I already did them at 3 so it helped me lucid dream download to lucid dream

### 5/5 — This app I good

*2025-11-09, version 3.33.1*

I like this app because it shows you your progress and does it directly tell you how to lucid dream? If it doesn’t then add that please?🤗😶‍🌫️

### 1/5 — Disappointing experience

*2026-08-09, version 3.36*

Didn’t live up to the hype or the advertising

### 1/5 — I am at a loss

*2026-08-01, version 3.36*

I fail to see what this app provides but a bit of info and a place to record dreams. Which could be done in a dozen places. 
I also “payed for it without knowing I did so and still the app requests I pay again. I want to cancel it and have tried to no avail

### 1/5 — Doesn’t do much for $80 a year

*2026-07-20, version 3.36*

The only thing this app does is draw info from Apple health and the presentation is way too simple to be of any help.  Everything else is journal entries and dream signs. You can do this in free apps. There’s no journal summary or any insight at all.  Save $80 every year and just type them into excel or a free journal app.  $80 is way too much for a simple app. It’s one of the highest I’ve seen, especially for a journal app.  I almost forgot, I never got the free trial. This is a bait and switch because they charge you instantly so that you can’t just cancel.  We need to stop supporting these simple, high priced , subscriptions.  Not sure if anyone noticed , but all of the changes in the change log are the same   this makes it appear like they are working on it.

### 1/5 — all my data disappeared

*2026-07-17, version 3.36*

every dream entry i had just disappeared out of nowhere, very glad i’ve only had this app about a week so there was only about 10 or so dreams logged.

### 1/5 — Not impressed

*2026-07-14, version 3.36*

I thought it would be be so much more.
I  expected more .


except for instructing you to write things down I don’t think it  explains how to do anything significant.

### 1/5 — Mid

*2026-05-27, version 3.35.1*

I don’t like this app it doesn’t work

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2026-03-11, version 3.34*

Makes you pay for everything😂

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2025-10-27, version 3.33*

To be honest there’s not much to do in this app. Whether or not you buy premium. I’m a little disappointed to be honest

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2025-07-31, version 3.31*

Not even worth it.

### 1/5 — Can’t possibly be worth $40 a month

*2025-06-15, version 3.31*

Well i thought i could use it for free but all the fun parts are behind a paywall

### 5/5 — Best thing app

*2026-08-12, version 3.36*

Best thing app

### 5/5 — I only wished this was longer

*2026-06-16, version 3.36*

A can’t wait for more

### 5/5 — Lucid dreaming

*2026-06-04, version 3.36*

I have been trying to lucid dream for about 6months now constantly meditating and practicing lucid dreaming techniques. That’s when I came across this app and let me tell you it has increased my speed & progress by 10X highly recommend for anyone who is serious about learning about lucid dreaming and embark on the most amazing journey of their lives. God speed 😇

### 5/5 — Awesome but one suggestion

*2026-06-03, version 3.36*

Please make it so we’re can add drawings or upload images to our journals. I like to draw in my dream journal to remind me of what it actually looked like. I think this addition would be grate and make the dream journal much better.

### 5/5 — An amazing app

*2026-05-27, version 3.35.1*

I got the free trial and I honestly I’ve been getting more dreams. I haven’t had anything like a lucid dream but I’ve been realizing I’m in dreams. I do wish this was free, but I understand they do have to make money otherwise an amazing.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-05-04, version 3.35*

Teaches everything on what to do and how to do, amazing app and i truly recommend

### 5/5 — Good Free Service

*2026-04-12, version 3.35*

You don’t have to pay unless you want to, but it’s perfect without the subscription.

### 5/5 — This app is good for keeping track of your dreams.

*2026-04-06, version 3.34*

Honestly this is probably all you need to learn how to lucid dream. There is a subscription but it doesn’t get in the way of the main interface. I have one suggestion. Can you please make it an option to not log the “time” when we lucid dreamed. This is because I don’t know when they occurred and I don’t pay attention to it and then when I go to my insights it tells me my best dreaming time is around 8 - 9 am in the morning. But thats just when I usually log it. Thank you for your consideration.

### 5/5 — Dreams

*2026-03-25, version 3.34*

I like it better
