### 2/5 — New update

*2026-01-01, version 2.0.0*

I’ve slept to this app for years I got on to turn it on as I do nightly and I saw the update and that everything I had saved (what I had slept to for comfort every night) is gone so I tried making a new one with the exact same sounds and they sound like new AI versions and completely different from what I’m used to

### 4/5 — Happy for the update!

*2025-12-29, version 2.0.0*

But many old sound were gone, also if there is ai sound I hope it can be labeled since I prefer natural sound. 
And I think it would be useful if we can listen those sounds before add to the orbit. 
the new colorful avatars are cute, but I prefer the old version, the pale with grey styles.
Generally it’s a surprise, everything looks pretty, and there’s more options for us. Thank you!and Hopefully everything goes better and better!

### 4/5 — バックグラウンド再生できない方へ

*2025-12-07*

アップデートが長らく止まっている関係でOSバージョンにアプリの仕様が追いついていないのでしょうか。
以前と違い、普通にホーム画面に戻るなどすると再生停止してしまいバックグラウンド再生されません。ただ、アプリ内でまず再生を一時停止してからアプリを落とさずホーム画面に戻り、コントロールセンターか通知センターから再生すると無事バックグラウンド再生されます。（2025年12月現在）

### 2/5 — Used to be good

*2025-11-03, version 1.05*

I can’t download any of the pro features I have previously paid for and I cannot contact anyone for help.  Used to be a good app.

### 4/5 — Faithful, but buggy app

*2025-01-05, version 1.05*

I would rate this 5 stars in any other circumstance. I’ve had this app and its pro version for several years now and though I’ve found work arounds or made peace with several bugs, it is still noticeable enough not to rate it 5 stars. The app is neatly designed and understandable for new users, has looping high quality sounds, and a great sleep aid. That being said, the only way to use the app when your phone goes to sleep is to pause it, and unpause it, as there seems to be a conflict between the app and the OS on if it’s actually paused or not, and I cannot update or restore the purchases on my app - it will just crash. If this app is still being maintained or worked on I’d love to see these bugs fixed and update my rating, but until then I continue to faithfully work around the bugs.

### 2/5 — バックグラウンド再生が

*2024-09-12*

できない

### 1/5 — Used to be amazing. Now it just crashes

*2024-07-22, version 1.05*

I used to love this app but it’s unusable now. Get help only brings you to an empty Wordpress page. Last update was three years ago. I’m sad. Another good app goes while mediocre ones keep running just because their a little more flashy.

### 1/5 — RIP off

*2024-04-22, version 1.05*

Don’t buy the pro version the app just crashes tried to reinstall but no change tried contacting app support but no reply can’t even get my money back seem like I’m not the only one reading the rest of the reviews wish id read them first. Do not buy keep your money.

### 2/5 — Crashing

*2024-03-06, version 1.05*

Team Sleep-Orbit. This app is hands down the absolute best however, it is crash-y. Please update/help. The focus I am able to achieve with this gem of an app is unparalleled.

### 1/5 — No Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connectivity

*2024-01-20, version 1.05*

No Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connectivity to speakers or audio sleep masks, and can’t even run in background or Lock Screen so if your display shuts off, so does the app, the opposite thing you want to be doing while getting ready for sleep. 

Great concept but clearly not followed through on. Paid sub to even get that accessibility would look greedy but better than what your current “pro version”. This app has the potential to be competitive with apps like Spotify, calm, headspace and many more. Dissapointing.

### 1/5 — Do not get this app

*2023-11-05, version 1.05*

It crashes every time  after you pay for the pro version.  They basically steal your money.

### 2/5 — Pro version crashes

*2023-08-25, version 1.05*

Heaps of potential, but the pro version does not give the additional sounds. The message 'Missing Sound' pops up, then app crashes. 
It is not right for people to pay for an app and not get what the app advertises. 
Apple either needs to get this app removed or ensure the owner is contacted to rectify the issues.

### 1/5 — Was great!

*2026-08-16, version 2.0.6*

Now full of bugs, locks up regularly, support has tried but doesn’t seem to be able to fix anything.

### 1/5 — No longer love this app.

*2026-07-25, version 2.0.6*

I miss how this app used to work. I used to love it. It was rough around the edges but it did exactly what I wanted it to without needing me to sign in or create an account or pay for anything or deal with the dreaded generative AI. It feels overcrowded and bloated now, making it more overwhelming than relaxing. I could just create my own soundscapes without AI in any audio mixing tool, so I’m just going to go do that.

### 1/5 — Не работает

*2026-01-26*

Приложение перестало работать совсем. Вдруг обновилось и всё посыпалось, пропала регистрация, мои пресеты, и оплата, хочешь  пользоваться плати опять! Жаль очень нравилось.

**Developer response:** Вы можете восстановить покупку через кнопку «Восстановить покупки» в настройках приложения. Повторная оплата не требуется.

### 1/5 — ショック

*2026-01-20*

もう何年もプレミアムの有料でカスタマイズして大変気に入って使ってきましたが、何年振り(10年ぶりぐらい)の今回のアップデートで、今までのデータや購入履歴が全て消えて、ログインまで求められ、初めてのユーザーのように扱われました。
UI もまるで別アプリのように刷新され、もう昔のように使えなくなりました。元のsleep orbitを返して下さい…

### 1/5 — Paid app

*2026-01-18, version 2.0.1*

I’ve used this app for years. I was upset when I went to put it on and found out it updated and you now have to pay to use it at all. Instead of going to sleep, I had to find a new app.

### 1/5 — 設定してたもの全部消えた

*2026-01-05*

2.0？にアップデートされて大幅にUIなど機能が変わりました。
そのタイミングで、私が自分で作って設定してたライブラリが全部消えた………😭😭😭
完璧に作って7.8年前からずっと聞いてたので、本当に悲しいです。
なんとか復元できないですか…？

他の音じゃなくて、私が作ったあの音が聞きたい………😭😭😭

### 1/5 — Awful

*2025-12-31, version 2.0.0*

I absolutely hate the his new version, I’ve been using this app since 2018 and now all of a sudden it’s gone and changed to a pay now subscription.

### 1/5 — Could be an amazing app, but don’t waste your time.

*2025-01-21, version 1.05*

Has the potential for greatness, but if you upgrade it will just start crashing every time you try to use it.  I want my money back.

### 1/5 — 課金したのに意味がない

*2024-11-30*

課金することで得られるオプションが得られる前にアプリが落ちる

### 1/5 — Abandoned app

*2024-10-16, version 1.05*

Background audio doesn’t work, if you hit the support link it just sends you to a weird Korean website about gambling.

### 5/5 — Great app and support

*2026-06-21, version 2.0.6*

Amazing app and sounds. Support is very responsive.

### 5/5 — ADHD silencer

*2026-04-21, version 2.0.3*

Coming back to this app after an absence I find it has been greatly updated and improved. For me it is the most effective way of quietening the interminable inner chatter. Highly recommend.

### 5/5 — Love the 2.0 updates!

*2026-01-12, version 2.0.0*

I’ve downloaded so many apps to try out, but this one is the best! It not only improves my sleep with the orbiting sound, but also provides the freedom for me to create my own mixes!

### 5/5 — 2.0 Update 🙌

*2025-12-24, version 2.0.0*

I have owned and used this app since day one, as it was the only one that could do what it does so well.

I was sure it was only a matter of time before it stopped working because the last update was seven years ago.

Instead, they decided to come back much stronger. All the features I love are still available, like uploading your own sounds, which I use to upload my voice for affirmations.

This app is nothing short of amazing, and I will continue to use it daily for sleep, focus, and personal development.

### 5/5 — Excelente

*2025-09-24, version 1.05*

Sonidos útiles para dormir.

### 5/5 — これは1度入れるべき!!!!!

*2025-05-28*

普通にサイコーです!!!!!
簡単に音を合わせることもできるし音量の微調整もできるし、これは星5でいいと思う!!!!!
もちろんイヤホンの方が立体的に聞こえるけど、別にイヤホン無くても個人的には充分癒されると思う!!!!!
どこでも聴けるし、他の下手なアプリよりかはバッテリーもくわないので完璧だと思います!!!!!
今まで使ってきた睡眠用のアプリの中ではダントツ1位ですね!!!!!
余裕で音15個くらい重ねられたし!!!!!
あんまり雑音感ないし!!!!!
少しでもいいから入れて聴いて欲しい!!!!!

### 5/5 — Великолепно!

*2024-01-25*

Уважаемые разработчики!!! АУ!!! Почему вы забросили свое приложение ???? Оно замечательное и лучшее!!!! Пожалуйста, раьотайте над ним, не бросайте !!!! Очень прошу !!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️😭😭😭😭

### 5/5 — Music

*2023-09-18, version 1.05*

How to make the music continue to play when the screen closes.  I have the Pro Version.

### 5/5 — Purchased pro version and stopped working

*2023-07-25, version 1.05*

Tried to get help but leads me to a link to purchase a domain. Yet another rip off to get your money

### 5/5 — Проверено временем

*2023-07-21*

Пользуюсь уже несколько лет и только сейчас решил оставить отзыв)
