You purchase this app to buy other hypnosis apps/ scripts ### 3/5 — Pretty good but… *2022-02-06* Sometimes I make it to the bottom of the steps, sometimes I don't. As a 72 year old I seem to be having more difficulty getting to sleep and have started using this app again and it does help but when the ending starts, the volume is much higher than it was previously and it wakes me up. I am using the Sleep beginning and the Sleep ending. Is it possible to balance the volume of each segment please? ### 2/5 — App needs work *2022-01-15* I used to love this app… now it stops playing when you lock your phone? Please fix ### 2/5 — Different volume levels. *2019-04-14, version 2.2* Volume levels not the same for different tracks - this is a big distraction. **Developer response:** We are addressing some volume bugs in the next update coming soon. Thanks for the feedback. ### 4/5 — Review *2014-08-07* Most satisfying program. Does actually work. Helps me to sleep if I can't sleep during night if it is interrupted. ### 3/5 — Review *2013-11-23* It keeps stopping after the introduction. Very annoying! Not helpful for relaxing ### 5/5 — Relaxing sleep *2013-09-29* I start listening in bed at night with headphones on then after a couple of minutes relaxing I'm asleep. The next thing I know I'm waking up (headphones out) feeling refreshed having had a good nights sleep. I couldn't tell you what is talked about fully on the app, but it works for me! ### 5/5 — Excellent *2013-09-23, version 1.300* Usually asleep before its done. Using for 2 weeks notice i feel much better overall both positive and serene ### 5/5 — Love, Love, Love this!!!! *2013-09-16* Great way to get to sleep and I always wake up fully charged !! ### 5/5 — This works *2013-09-14, version 1.300* Enjoy the program. It works. ### 5/5 — Really helpful! *2013-09-12, version 1.300* This is the best way to get my daughter to sleep! She loves this! Thank you! ### 5/5 — Sleep!! *2013-09-07* I have never made it past the first twenty minutes. Put me into a deep relaxed sleep wake feeling refreshed. No longer waking up at 2 or 3 am with insomnia. FANTASTIC!!! ### 5/5 — I'm a veteran that can sleep now! *2013-09-04, version 1.300* I'm a veteran in the Army I served twice in Iraq and have had trouble sleeping for a while now and this fixed that problem!!! All vets need to try this In even in better moods through the whole day. ### 4/5 — Gives a wake-up at the end *2013-09-03, version 1.300* It is pleasant enough, but at the end, it begins a five count to wake me up. If you use this while drifting off to a night's sleep, be sure to stop before you get to the end. This would be good for a nap though, to make sure you don't spend too long in the nap. ### 5/5 — Busy working mom and wife *2013-05-26, version 1.099* I was having a hard time calming my mind. I had a lot going on at work and home. This app really helped me focus and rest so I felt calm and ready to take on the next day. ### 5/5 — Haven't slept this good in years! *2013-02-23* I was hesitant to buy this app initially but so glad I did. It's the best app ever. 9 times out of 10 it puts me to sleep. That 1 time is when I'm too awake but I'll play it twice and then I'm out like a light. I once had to share a room with a couple of girls and I told them about this app. They were very cynical and kept making jokes. After 5 mins they were asleep and I was slowly falling into a nice sleep. Just love it! The best thing is I just play it, I don't listen to what he says or do what he says i.e deep breaths and I fall asleep. I've tried other apps and CDs and nothing has worked this well. Highly recommend! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — FIX THE APP! *2019-08-26* Since "upgrading" you cannot access previous purchases.. Support advise to reinstall and download, and you still get the same issue. Then they advise it is the "first they heard of it". Beware before purchasing or upgrading. Issue still not resolved. ### 1/5 — Unhappy *2015-08-29* After purchasing a lot of different hypnosis stories, all were lost after installing the recommended update. I sent multiple emails trying to get my purchases back, with no resolution. Not happy, I do not recommend this product. ### 1/5 — App is broken *2015-05-18, version 1.502* No only are the in-app purchases no longer accessible, some are more expensive than they are when you purchase individually from the App Store! Since the RESTORE function within this update does NOT work, the purchases are USELESS! Seriously consider a different app...😡 ### 1/5 — New release crashes *2015-03-11* Crashes when I edit my play list. ### 1/5 — This was not made for people who truly can't sleep. *2012-06-04, version 1.098* Im sorry that a lot of you can't get this to open. I have never had a problem with that. Unfortunately though, not once has this app worked for me. I have never been able to sleep. In fact, at this moment I am on my 53rd hour since I slept last. I had high hopes for this app, but I take high doses of Rx sleep aids and listen to this multiple times a night and have no luck. It's not anything wrong with the voice or anything like that. I guess after reading everyone else's great reviews, I'm starting to think that nothing can put me to sleep. I'm glad to see most people had success with it. ### 1/5 — Save your money *2012-05-04* Worst hypnosis app I've heard. Voice just elongates worrrrrrddssss in a patronising manner which you end up focussing on instead of relaxing. ### 1/5 — :( *2012-01-31, version 1.094* I bought this app at 4:00am and I'm an 11 year old awake at this time so I texted my friend and she said buy this because her mom uses it. The first thing it does... Crashes ### 1/5 — Scraping metal! *2011-12-12, version 1.093* Stop! Don't get swindled like I did on this app! How this app could be called relaxing is beyond me! I couldn't make it past two minutes of what sounds like a scraping metal background to a badly engineered tape of a guy talking. Crap! ### 1/5 — Ummm yeah no *2011-09-22, version 1.08* Crash crash crash crash crash crash crash crash I could have spent this 4 bucks at the strip club and gotten better sleep then this app can provide ### 1/5 — Terrible....don't waste your money *2011-09-10, version 1.08* I purchased this app and it has NEVER worked. For over a month I have been in contact with the company and they assured me an update they were working on would fix the problem (the app does not open). Today I saw the update on iTunes and it STILL does not work. Complete garbage!! How can you post an update that still doesn't work! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Been using this for years. *2022-08-19* I listen to this almost every night. Works without fail for me. If you’re using the version where you’re going down the stairs, I don’t know what happens after step 9. . . Heck, I’m usually out like a light by step 14. Sincerely, this helps my brain from spinning, trying to fall asleep. ### 5/5 — Sleep & Hypnosis Program *2020-03-14, version 2.2* Great program. I have had a hard time sleeping. Since listening to Eric Brown I go to bed earlier and sleep through the night. I am into my 2nd week. Love it. ### 5/5 — Love love love! *2019-03-24, version 2.1* We’ve loaded several back to back and listen to them practically every night. Beautiful messaging. We miss the crickets as a background option though! **Developer response:** Thanks so much, we appreciate the feedback and kicking butt on your hypnosis. ### 5/5 — Great app *2015-06-22* Great app use it almost every night ### 5/5 — Very helpful during a tough period of work. *2015-01-15* This is the only thing that got me to sleep during a very difficult period of work, when I was going to bed in a high state of anxiety - but a good night's sleep was important. Even when I didn't fall asleep immediately, I felt calm and relaxed. ### 5/5 — Can sleep no matter what! *2014-06-07, version 1.300* My mind races frequently when I lie down to go to sleep. With this app, my mind shuts off and I'm asleep in minutes!! ### 5/5 — Sleep hypnosis *2014-05-08* Love this app! No problem falling asleep anymore! However, I purchased another app which will not play when I pick it-it just keeps playing my sleep app. Frustrated because my sleep app works so well so I thought I'd give another app a try-just lost 3.99 :( ### 5/5 — More time spent in deep sleep *2014-03-22, version 1.300* Since I’ve been using this, my sleep cycle tracker indicates I’ve been spending more and more time in deep sleep rather than in the lightest stages of sleep (where I used to be). I’ve been feeling better about my sleep! ### 5/5 — Works like a charm *2013-11-22, version 1.300* I always relax and fall asleep right at the same part every time! It's the best one I've found. ### 5/5 — Sleep well *2013-11-13* Awesome app! Really helps you relax and get to sleep.
