## What is Soundly?

Sounds, music, stories and meditations designed to help you achieve better sleep, focus, relaxation, breathing, energy levels, and more.

Soundly is music with a purpose. Music beyond entertainment.

More and more, people are using music in very specific ways: to help pump themselves up at the gym, to focus at work, and even get better sleep.

This new genre of audio— “Functional Music” — is quietly soaring in digital popularity. You can find it dispersed across Spotify playlists, Youtube videos, popular meditation apps — but now it has a true home in Soundly.

We've composed a huge library of functional audio content using clinically validated techniques. Mix and match your favorite sounds, stories, music and meditations to create your perfect audio experience.

### 1/5 — Money Grab

*2025-01-29, version 1.9.4*

Very minimal library to be charging a monthly subscription, honestly ridiculous that they’d even try that.

### 5/5 — Cannot sleep without it.

*2023-11-20, version 1.9.4*

Chronic pain sufferer here and this app is a godsend.

### 5/5 — Try clearing 1

*2023-09-27, version 1.9.4*

Best sound app I’ve ever tried.  Useful for focus, mediation, sleep, destressing, or just pleasant sound tracks as. A backdrop to your day.   Clearing 1 is a nature sound scape unique to this app I love having on. Give it a try.

### 5/5 — More stories/voices

*2022-11-28*

Love this app. I’ve had it for over 2 years and I listen every night to sleep. Hoping the developers can add some new stories and voices soon. Some of the stories are great but the voiceover option is not very pleasant to listen to. Still love all the options. Love this app! Just more voice options please!

**Developer response:** Thank you!

### 1/5 — Tricky pricing- Scam

*2022-07-01*

Under the pricing menu it says Soundly Weekly-
$2.99 Daily. All I know is I was being charged by Apple 2.99 all the time and finally figured out it was this stupid app dinging me left and right. I cancelled but it charged me again today and says my plan will cancel July 6. So I guess I’ll be charged 2.99 daily for another week. No way to stop immediately ???

### 5/5 — Truly Amazing!

*2022-02-07*

The best app for white noise and a lot it is free! Thank you

### 5/5 — Soundly is Amazing! I love the stories for naps!

*2021-07-22, version 1.8.8*

I love using it for short naps and meditations. It helps me feel refreshed and calm.

### 1/5 — AVOID!!! A MASSIVE RIP OFF!!

*2021-07-09, version 1.8.8*

That’s such poor form, charging $93 automatically for year if you don’t cancel the app. And the app isn’t that good, certainly not $93 good. For $93 I expect to own the app. You people are crooks and rip off merchants . Honestly, justify to me, how you can charge that yearly? I’ll wait ...........for that much money , I should own the app. Rip off merchants.   Why don’t you reply to this developer ?

### 2/5 — No longer being updated

*2021-04-13, version 1.8.6*

Love this app, but sadly it is no longer being updated with new sounds and stories, missing many of the newer stories and music. Will update the review if things change.

### 5/5 — My new favorite

*2021-01-16*

I recently learned that my Pzizz subscription also works with this app, so I gave it a try and it’s already become my favorite. It’s fast to set up a “sleep soundtrack,” and they do help me fall asleep faster. So many options to choose from too!  It’s well worth checking out!  

I do have a couple suggestions for changes. First, I’d love a favorite mix to be able to include a sequence of spoken tracks instead of just one. I’d love to be able to delay the start of the spoken track as well.
