Why AI?!

I have enjoyed this app for over a year now, and have stopped using it since it has adopted AI
:( Very disappointing. For an app that references nature and history of people who have deeply respected the land, it feels very hypocritical to use a technology that is so incredibly bad for the environment. Sad!

Great App

I find the Dreamscape stories very helpful for calming my brain and getting to sleep. Karen has a beautiful, soothing voice. The app’s tech support is most helpful as well. I had issues logging in to the new app. They researched the issue and helped me every step of the way.

Great app

So far I am really enjoying this app, from the music, to stories to recipes, its quite nice. The pace for the stories and recipes are fantastic as well. I do think a little more history on some of the castle’s, or even more folklore or faerie stories would be a great addition to it as well.

No bagpipes? And Cannot unsubscribe.

There is no easy way to unsubscribe. When you try to delete your account, you’re told that that does not unsubscribe you from charges. And they tell you to go to manage subscriptions. But there is no way that I can see to find a link that says manage subscriptions.

Wonderful

So peaceful and mystical. I really enjoy it every time I listen to it.
