Crashes all the time, please fix
I paid for the full version of this app and now it won’t continue to play the meditation, and will crash silently every single time without fail. I can’t make it through a meditation. It used to be so helpful, and now I can’t use it anymore. Please fix.
Won’t Launch, Friezes
I wish this app worked
Logging in every time means more screen time before bed
Update:
I was so happy to see that the app developers listened to user feedback and fixed the login issue!
This is a wonderful app and I would highly recommend it to anyone trying to establish better sleep hygiene and habits.

Having a sleep meditation app that forces you to log in each time you use it (waking you up more than necessary by keeping you looking at the phone's screen) totally defeats the purpose of the app. There are settings you can set to make the screen view less disruptive while you pick a track but the settings reset every time the app logs you out (which is every time you use it). Having paid around $10 for all of the content, the least they could do is have the app remember my email and/or password -- or keep it logged in once you've paid for the full content.
I am very disappointed in this app because I genuinely love Buddhify and I like the meditations on this app too. Stored log-in info and keeping settings from session to session (otherwise, why bother changing the settings at all since that also means more screen time before bed) is a very basic function that most other apps have mastered. Changing this one issue would make a huge difference in the user experience. I'm honestly surprised that they haven't done anything about this yet, given the number of people who have brought this issue up.
If this ever gets fixed, I'll be happy to consider a higher rating but I can't give this app more than a 1 at this point while it is lacking such a basic feature -- especially given the cost of purchasing all of the tracks.

Crashes and more crashes
I love the meditations in this app so much—even more than Buddhify—but the app silently crashes after about a minute or two without fail. Can’t use it at all anymore and it makes me sad. Have iOS 11.4 on an iPhone 8 Plus.
Don't make people make accounts for no reason
Let people try the app and let them make an account if they feel it's worth it. Right now I'm going to delete this and download a different sleep app.
Love it
This is a delightful, effective, and easy-to-use app. I pop in my headphones as I'm lying in bed (so as not to disturb my husband) and all I have to do afterwards is take them out before I drift off, which I don't find too cumbersome. I have not experienced the issues mentioned in other reviews (for example, since installing the app I've never once had to re-log in). I love the nice wishes the speakers send you at the end of each meditation--it's lovely to feel that they're really rooting for you. Very grateful!

Signing in every time I use the app is getting old.
I like Buddhify, and I like the content in this app. I paid the $10 to unlock all the packs almost right from the beginning. My problem, however, is that recently the app has required me to log in to my account almost every time I use it. I do not understand why an account and a password is necessary when I've happily given the company my email address already. Further, why can't the app simply check with the App Store to see what in-app purchases I've unlocked? When I'm trying to start a track to help me go to sleep, the last thing I want to do is stare at my screen for longer so I can type out my email address and password.

Love it!
Great addition to my other meditation apps!
Nice idea - but it doesn’t work
Have repeatedly tried to ‘register’. When I click the link in the app it says it needs an e-ddress, which I put in but then wants a password, which I do not have because I have not been able to register. It’s all a catch-22. The registration link does not work….
This app does not work. It is not user friendly and I’m sure glad I didn’t buy anything. What a waste of time.

Needs work
Just not ready for prime time. Bad interface I can work around, but not loading and doing updates in the background is unacceptable. I want to go to sleep, not wait for your app to update. Especially after I paid $10 to get all content always.
Disappointing repackage
I'm disappointed. This app is beautiful, but the free tracks are ones I already paid for on buddhify. I hoped it would have some original new content for those loyal to mindfulness everywhere. Also it's aggravating to keep logging in to the app over and over. Sadly, I will be deleting it.
I have to log in for every session?
Think about it... I need an app like this because I am tired, and just want to sleep, I don't want to do more work. Why does this app make be login more often than the PayPal app? Please fix.
Disappointed
I hit the register button, but nothing happens. After reading other reviews, I agree that I should not have to register for this type of app. Deleted it.
Bad user experience, loved the other app :(
I loved your other app. But this is just a terrible user experience. I'm okay spending money in the app, but you make it so confusing and inconvenient. You really missed the mark on this one, guys. And this is coming from someone who was so excited you were making an app just for sleep. Hire a UX researcher next time and learn what your users actually want out of the app and how someone might want to use an app when they're trying to get to sleep.

Outstanding App and App Developers Listen
I originally rated this app as a 3 because I bought everything and it didn't download the files it was supposed to. My email to the developers was listened to and the issue is now resolved. The rating has now gone to a 5.
It's a new app. It just takes time for the bugs to get worked out.

Requires an account just to use it
I can’t even use it without creating an account. This isn’t Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter where the point is to share and have a public-facing identity, it’s an app that’s supposed to help me sleep and I shouldn’t need to create yet another account for something like this. At the very least, let me access the free packs first so I can see if I like it and whether or not it’s worth it to create yet another account.

I think you forgot to turn off audio in App Preview
Looks like they forgot to turn off audio while recording their app preview in QuickTime. You can here the people talking in background and the mouse clicking.
Not working
I registered and verified my email address. Now when I open up the app it goes to a screen with trippy purple jello mountains, but that's all. No other content. :(
App won't work unless you give them email
App immediately asks for email, and won't let you use it unless you provide with her looking for.
Rehash and data grab - skip
Needs an account so you can get spammed when they repackage their same recordings and resell them to you as a new app.
Shameful business practices.
