En revanche, la gestion (erratique) du volume du son est très souvent gênante, au point que je ne lance pas l’appli aussi souvent que je le souhaiterais. ### 3/5 — Relaxing music, ok everything else *2025-12-10, version 3.2.80* It’s nice. It messed up my Spotify data (irritating), but the playlist it directs you to is very relaxing. ### 4/5 — Постоянная ошибка *2025-10-15* Почему при синхронизации с Apple Music не устанавливается соединение, поэтому не грузится музыка? ### 4/5 — крутое приложение.. в прошлом *2025-10-10* раньше все работало, это было самое лучшее приложение в таком ключе. необычный дизайн, неповторимые мелодии, красивые анимации и все базовые функции. но сейчас.. увы. жаль, что в итоге в РФ оно не доступно. разработчики прошу, если все же это возможно, почините эту ошибку о невозможности подключения к эпп музик.. хочется наслаждаться этим приложением и дальше.. ### 3/5 — Option zur Bildschirmdeaktivierung fehlt *2025-09-08, version 3.2.80* Eigentlich gute App, aber wenn der Bildschirm aktiv bleibt kann ich definitiv nicht einschlafen. Macht deshalb für mich keinen Sinn. ### 3/5 — Amazing but need so much work 💔 *2025-07-31, version 3.0.28* As someone who loves astronomy, this was amazing! I love it, but there’s an issue. My volume constantly turned down, even when I wasn’t doing it. I don’t know what happened, but please fix whatever the issue was. It’s a great app otherwise! ### 3/5 — Love It But It Needs Work *2025-05-06, version 3.0.14* Pro: three useful tools (sleep, meditation, relax(ation); simple intuitive interface; lovely interface, Max Richter; the meditation aspect is useful to me Con: buggy (volume control is like grabbing a wet eel), unreliable? (I tried the sleep function twice set at 6:30, first time it worked bit the second time didn’t wake while it was on Bluetooth), the visuals are too bright for nightstand mode. ### 3/5 — Alright but… *2025-04-28, version 3.0.14* It is good at first but after a while you get bored of hearing the same things one after another after another and we are still waiting for more planets as promised that haven’t came out in ages. All I think it needs is a mix of songs and updates on the planets. ### 5/5 — I may have had the best sleep of my life *2025-04-14, version 3.0.12* Not sure how to describe it, but I felt so wonderful after waking up. Thank you, whoever Max is, for this gift of sleep. ### 5/5 — Restful.. *2025-03-20, version 3.0.4* Restful sleep period.. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not inclusive *2026-07-30, version 3.2.90* You need either Spotify or Apple Music for it to work ### 1/5 — Тик ток лучше *2026-05-12, version 3.2.80* Намного проще засыпать под тик ток ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with Apple Music *2026-01-17, version 3.2.80* Doesn’t work with latest version of iOS, App seems halfway abandoned. I have Apple Music with a subscription but the app won’t start when I tap Apple Music. Only complains it needs a subscription. Still broken after months. App is basically abandoned. ### 1/5 — Locked in *2025-12-10, version 3.2.80* You cannot listen to maxs sleep unless you subscribe to Spotify or Apple Music. I find this very wrong. What happened to owning your music collection? ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with Apple Music *2025-10-26, version 3.2.80* Doesn’t work with latest version of iOS, App seems halfway abandoned. I have Apple Music with a subscription but the app won’t start when I tap Apple Music. Only complains it needs a subscription. Still broken after months. ### 1/5 — Не скачивай!!! *2025-09-02, version 3.2.66* Не скачивайте!!! Там требуется какая-то подписка!!!😡😡😡 исправьте это пожалуйста😡😡😡 создатель этой музыки😡😡😡 ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with Apple Music *2025-06-19, version 3.0.20* Doesn’t work with latest version of iOS, Apple seems halfway abandoned. I have Apple Music with a subscription but the app won’t start when I tap Apple Music.

Only complains it needs a subscription. ### 1/5 — Пустышка *2025-04-12* При старте сразу просит соединить с apple music или spotify. Без них не работает. Если вы не пользуетесь ни тем ни другим, то это приложение для вас бесполезная пустышка ### 1/5 — Nichts funktioniert *2025-04-09, version 3.0.8* Leider funktioniert bei dieser App nichts! Die Verbindung zu Spotify funktioniert nur sporadisch und wenn Sie mal klappt wird man vom Schlaf nicht geweckt, sondern die Musik hört einfach auf. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Immersion *2026-08-21, version 3.2.90* This slowly evolving sensory experience is very calming. It uses simple musical textures intervals and elements to evoke feelings of joy and stillness ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2026-06-26, version 3.2.90* Not only is this app fabulous - it accompanies one of the greatest musical masterpieces of all time! I use this app to study, meditate and to sleep! It also keeps a record for you so you can track your progress. Awesome! ### 5/5 — Down time *2026-05-17, version 3.2.80* This app really help me share my day , get everything off my chest, meditate than I felt calm an relaxed . ### 5/5 — Ok *2026-04-07, version 3.2.80* Ok ### 5/5 — bon . *2026-01-04* mille merci ; Bonne et Belle Année a vous . Beaux Travails . ### 5/5 — Great *2025-09-26, version 3.2.80* It really worked have always found it difficult to to sleep nowadays but this worked. ### 5/5 — Невероятное приложение! *2025-09-15* Совершенно случайно наткнулся... во-первых, сама его база / эпический восьми часовой альбом Макса Рихтера SLEEP - кто может оценить хороший эмбиент, минимал, но как и я пропустили почему-то это событие - вы будете в восторге. А оболочка в виде этого приложения вообще космос. Еще и с визуалом - через airplay на телек можно включить и... красивейшие виды космоса! Низкий поклон и Максу Рихтеру и разработчикам ### 5/5 — Потрясающе! *2025-06-06* Бесплатное приложение сквозь которое в мои уши льется великолепная, красивейшая, нео-классическая музыка и ничего лишнего! Единственный ньанс - музыка подтягивается из Apple Music или из Spotify. Нужна подписка…Но, на Авито вполне можно найти студенческую подписку Эппл за 75-100р в месяц (+Эпл ТВ) ### 5/5 — Efficace *2025-05-10* Détente profonde ### 5/5 — We Love Sleep *2025-04-29, version 3.0.14* I love this album, I love this App, I love the Documentary. All arrangements of this material are so very well executed. Bravo team Sleep. My family has grown up falling asleep to this music. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
