immediately annoying

it starts off by telling you how much better than other apps it is, how they’re not nearly as greedy, and then immediately starts trying to get you to buy premium without even getting to try the games. if you say no they ask again, and again, and again, every time trying to guilt you a little more into giving them money with options like “i’ll stay wondering,” “i don’t want to sleep well,” etc. after like three times saying no, they give you a pop up that essentially says “well fine, i GUESS we can give you a discount since you’re so persistent but you have to buy it in ten minutes or it will be full price again.” keep in mind i never got to try the games.

Thank you for your feedback. We do offer a 3-day free trial for everyone so that they can try all the games prior to paying. In the next version of the app, which we will be releasing in a week or so, there will be a free eyes open game and a free eyes closed game for everyone, regardless of whether they select a free trial or not. There is currently also the full sleep sound library and breathing exercises available to everyone. We hope you will come back and try the app again once we release the update.

Review

I love the idea. It’s super great. They set up is awesome. Love the music. Love the sleep reminder love the games definitely come to my body, but what I didn’t like. Is that you had to pay for all of the games for me personally I’m not going to pay for me to be sleeping. What I think would’ve been nice is if you had at least one free game for each category so then we could at least test it out for me personally I do not try out the free trials because I am personally forgetful. So I love the idea and the whole building around it. I’m just not willing to pay to sleep.

We totally hear you, and sorry that the free trial setup doesn't work for you! Thanks for the nice comments of your first impression of the app!

Incredibly helpful

I’d like to go in noting that this is definitely a pay to access app once your trial ends: however, it’s worth it, and not expensive. The developers clearly had a goal when they made this. Not only did they ensure the colors were dark to set you up for bed, but also use red accents instead of blue to avoid blue light telling your brain to wake up. The games are low intensity, fun, easy to understand, and with the recent addition of choose your path, I suspect our devs here have dabbled in DnD.. 10/10

Glad to hear you are enjoying the app! Thank you for the kind words. Yes, definitely some RPG influence in the choose your path game!

Pay Wall

This is an interesting concept for an app and I was hoping to use it to aid in falling asleep. However, you are prompted to subscribe before you can play any of the games, and if you don’t subscribe the games are locked. I like to at least make sure I enjoy something before buying.

Response from developer

Hey there! There is actually a 3-night free trial with the annual subscription, so you can definitely try it out and make sure you enjoy it before you pay anything. I'm sorry if that wasn't clear on the paywall! If you sign up with the free trial and cancel before it ends you won't be charged. Would love for you to try the app!

Payment Mandatory

Minimum £2.99 to access anything (if you grab the 30 second flash deal), otherwise minimum £5.99.

Bad

You have to pay a subscription to use it at all

Better than scrolling

I know I should probably be reading or something before bed but this at least has gotten me to stop doom scrolling. I like the eyes closed games

Response from developer

Happy to hear the app is helping you fall asleep!

Pay to Play

This is only free because it’s the free trial, you have to purchase a thing in the app to play longer than 5 min. Its games are the same ones on every app- 2045, checkers, Simon says. It’s not anything special.

Response from developer

Hi! Thanks for your feedback. The app store listing does show the subscription price, which is very minimal. We chose to do it this way because we did not want to subject our users to advertising in order to make it free, as it would be counterproductive to sleep. We had many users who requested the ability to see the games before the paywall appears, which is why we included the short trial period upon downloading. Additionally, there is currently a 3-night free trial if you subscribe through the app store and you are free to cancel at any time :)

Great app

I love the concept and the ui is warm and effective

Response from developer

Thank you! Glad to hear the app is working for you!

Amazing and underrated

this app has it all, i am honestly blown away by the amount of features it has that are perfect to wind down and feel sleepy for the night. 10/10!!

Calming

Fell asleep playing. Much better than watching videos or playing games that are too stimulating.

LOVEEEE THIS GOOD NIGHT!

:)

You’re getting sleepy…

Great app! Something about the colors and soothing nature of the games. I fall asleep every time!

Great addition to my sleep tools

I love this app. The colors make me feel sleepy and I like the options for sounds and breathing strategies. The games are simple, but get the job done

I like this game

It is very funny, I play it when go to bed every day :)
