### 3/5 — No Family Sharing of In App Purchases

*2021-04-20*

This app has been so helpful for my daughter in falling asleep. She loves it so much that I paid for all the additional content. But when she got an iPod I was disappointed to discover that there was no way to transfer that content to her device using our Family Share plan. Apple now allows developers to permit in-app purchases to be shared in Family Share. Please update to allow this so my daughter can listen on her device and not have to use mine! Without that issue my review would be five stars!

**Developer response:** Hello and thank you for your review. 

We currently don’t have the Family Sharing feature in place. We will however pass your feedback on to Glenn and his team so when we update the app we will add Family Sharing. 

Please contact us at sales@hypnosisaudio.com if you require further assistance.

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2020-01-14*

I was told to do some relaxation by my therapist and I thought why not get my 6yr old involved also so I downloaded this app and we’re both fast asleep in no time thinks to this x just wish it wouldn’t cost so much for all the add ons x

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2020-01-13*

### 4/5 — Love it

*2019-10-14*

### 5/5 — Amazing 😍🤩🥰

*2019-08-06*

Love it I fall asleep all the time but you do have to pay 2.99 for one that fine for me at least.

### 2/5 — It’s not that good

*2019-07-08*

To me it is not that good. At first you only get one thing to listen to and sometimes her voice stops in the middle of her talking and it's just music. And you have to pay for I would say about 95% of the things on there.

**Developer response:** Hello, you will find a free session on the Library tab which is available forever. If it is stopping half way through please try reinstalling the app by holding down the main icon for three seconds and tapping X. Then we download the app from the App Store. If you continue to have problems please contact us at sales@hypnosisaudio.com and we will do our best to assist you. Diviniti Publishing.

### 1/5 — Nonononononono

*2026-01-13, version 3.3.1*

You have to payyy I CAN ONLY LISTEN TO THE SAME ONE OVER AND OVER!!!DO NOT GET!

### 1/5 — Pointless to download

*2020-02-20*

Says it comes with samples but doesn’t ask you right off the bat to restore purchases? 
Feels more like a scam of an app. Don’t waste your time.

**Developer response:** Hello, sorry to hear about this. The reason why we asked people to restore purchases is to help people restore any sessions they've purchased in the past if they previously downloaded the app and have bought a new device, or reinstalling it. We do offer a free session in the app which will be available forever so there is no requirement to purchase other sessions. If we can help with anything else please get in touch at sales@hypnosisaudio.com.

### 1/5 — Frustrating and not worth it

*2019-02-26*

Couldn’t load any meditations and then when trying to attempt to look at “FAQs” you have to answer a math question then try and chance the bubble answer over and over again! So frustrating, deleted straight away

### 1/5 — Free version no good, over priced

*2018-11-26*

The free version cut off awkwardly without a natural closing ... the voice just stops. It left my daughter feeling more unsettled than before, had the opposite effect of what I was looking for. So the free version is no good, and I find it overpriced considering what you pay for each option.

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2018-10-09*

You pay for everything but some little 13 minute meditation. I know it’s a “free app” but you pay for everything.

**Developer response:** Hello, I'm sorry the app wasn't for you. If we can help with anything please feel free to contact us directly at sales@hypnosisaudio.com. Diviniti Publishing.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2017-08-10*

Tried repeatedly to download stories; I can't get anything to work even after purchase. Waste of money.

### 1/5 — Allie

*2017-01-03*

You have to pay 2.29 for a calm story

**Developer response:** Hello, I'm sorry the app wasn't for you. If we can help with anything please feel free to contact us directly at sales@hypnosisaudio.com. Diviniti Publishing.

### 1/5 — Nothing

*2016-03-29*

I wish I'd know this gives you nothing. It just lists books you can purchase. Thanks for nothing

### 1/5 — Does not come with any stories

*2016-03-28*

You have to buy the stories. I'd rather pay for an app and get stories than download a piece of junk and not know what I'm getting.

### 1/5 — Please fix

*2015-06-06, version 2.0*

I can't listen to this anymore as all the in app purchases keep crashing on start up.
