It really excels in two places that makes it stand out from the crowd. 1) Insanely practical and optimized for consistently mediating — no nonsense, practical, guided sessions that don’t get stale. There is no overhead or confusion in picking different courses or content like in some of the other apps out there. Get started right away, and good content at increasing levels to keep you going. 2) This is one of the only apps that also teaches you the basic foundations of mediation/NSDR as you go through the sessions. Not just buzzwords and trendy highlights, but you’re immersed and get a good understanding of how everything works and why you’re doing what you’re doing. **Developer response:** Thanks for the detailed review and glad you're enjoying the app! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 2/5 — Great NSDR but another subscription *2024-10-08* Only reason its not 5 stars is because you are paywalled at level 4 (~20 levels total). Id be much more willing to purchase the app or donate than pay for another subscription…. ### 3/5 — Okay *2024-10-13* Initially, I was intrigued by the various activities in a single session: breathing exercises, rotation of awareness (similar to a body scan), brief visualisations, etc. By the time I got to sessions in the 40-50 minute range, however, I began to find the whole thing bothersome. The narrators’ voices have a definite robotic edge to them. Many of the exercises are conducted too quickly, which I found frustrating. And in the end, it was just too many bits and pieces strung together with no discernible end point. ### 3/5 — Great NSDR but another subscription *2024-04-25* Only reason its not 5 stars is because you are paywalled at level 4 (~20 levels total). Id be much more willing to purchase the app or donate than pay for another subscription…. ### 4/5 — Really nice *2024-04-25* The meditations are really good, I haven’t found any other app that can really help me feel the same state of deep relaxation. Unfortunately I got a new phone and even with a subscription it has resulted in all my progress being lost and wants me to go through all the introductory lessons all over again 🥲 ### 4/5 — Great NSDR but another subscription *2024-03-25* Only reason its not 5 stars is because you are paywalled at level 4 (~20 levels total). Id be much more willing to purchase the app or donate than pay for another subscription…. ### 4/5 — First Impression *2024-03-11* Very surprised by the quality of this app after first use. Can’t wait to see how this app and its community grows. Suggestion: If you are up to the challenge, consider open sourcing your mobile apps. Github and the OS communities are fantastic. (Will periodically update with new/relevant info) ### 5/5 — Wonderful! *2026-07-30* I just love this app! I really enjoy the timed feature, where I get a completely different session each time. I’m impressed by how many new pieces emerge even after using it for quite a long time. Really recommend for relaxation and stress reduction. ### 5/5 — More than I was hoping for *2025-03-17* This app is more than I ever expected. It is perfect combination of education, practical application, and gentle pacing. I have been using the app daily and can see the effect in my life. Thank you for making this accessible to everyone with such an unbelievable price. It is easily worth 10x this. ### 5/5 — Unexpectedly very helpful *2025-02-08* When I started using the app I was ambivalent about its potential. It turns out that, to my surprise, it has made an enormous difference in my overall well-being, in my level of general feeling of peace and has resulted in a drastic improvement of my sleep. If you have tried similar apps (like I did) this one is the one that will make a real difference. ### 5/5 — Love this app *2024-12-13* This app is fantastic. One of the best mediation apps I’ve used. The interface is clean, the guided meditations are excellent, and the narrator’s voice is soothing (surprisingly hard to find). 5 stars. ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Dedicated NSDR Session Generator *2024-10-31* I was looking for a way to listen to Non-Sleep-Deep-Rest sessions that didn’t just repeat the same script over and over. This app is perfect. There’s some really interesting and unique elements (skills) such as a 75 breaths and manifestation of opposites. Outside of the skill progression you can have the app randomise an NSDR session, incorporating the skills you’ve unlocked anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour! I feel much calmer and sleep better too! Highly recommended ### 5/5 — Simple and practical *2024-09-13* This app is extremely simple to use—the sessions are organized into set of four designed to develop basic skills followed by more advanced interactive sessions. All sessions are guided. I like the fact that interactive sessions can be customized and that each new session is created uniquely for the user based on previous sessions. I’ve been using the app to improve my sleep and it has worked well for this purpose. I’ve also noticed that the app promotes equanimity which allows me to approach difficult situations with a clearer and calmer state of mind. ### 5/5 — Simple and effective *2024-09-08* Love its simplicity. No non sense or upsells or tons of meditations I don’t want. Just simple nsdr in a simple straight fwd interface. Very responsive dev too. ### 5/5 — Most practical and comprehensive Yoga Nidra (meditation) app out there *2023-12-12* It really excels in two places that makes it stand out: 1) Insanely practical and optimized for regular meditation — no nonsense, practical, guided sessions that don’t get stale. There is no overhead or confusion in picking different courses or content like in some of the other apps out there. Get started right away, and good content at increasing levels to keep you going. 2) Teaches the foundations of mediation/NSDR as you go through the sessions — not just buzzwords and trendy highlights, but you’re immersed and get a good understanding of how everything works and why you’re doing what you’re doing. More thorough and comprehensive than most apps out there. **Developer response:** Thanks for the detailed review and glad you're enjoying the app! ### 5/5 — Most practical and comprehensive Yoga Nidra (meditation) app out there. *2023-12-12* It really excels in two places that makes it stand out: 1) Insanely practical and optimized for regular meditation — no nonsense, practical, guided sessions that don’t get stale.

Amazing NSDR and yoga nidra app. It has the perfect options for all levels. I absolutely love using this app during the day for yoga nidra as well as when I’m going to sleep. Highly recommend this app to anyone interested in sleep, relaxation, and/or yoga nidra. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
