Transformative

I started using Solu a few years ago and I’m astonished at how it still brings me, almost instantly, to a place of peace and stillness. I’ve shared it with many friends. I think the grounded and centered feeling it promotes is in part because not only the tones soothing and calming, but also they never increase in volume, never have a “beat” to them. Besides listening to them with intention, I have found these tones to be a lovely background sound to have on when with a friend who is sharing something deep or personal. I can’t recommend this app highly enough!

I guess

From 1.99 to 3.69 a month. It’s just not worth it… so many similar things.

Profound

I was skeptical with all the free meditation apps available out there but something about the way they make these tones is just beyond. It’s weirdly transformative. I find myself listening every single day. Thank you.

Thank you Scrunchie22! Yes, daily listening is transformative. Try taking the ToneStream on a walk with earbuds. Transforms the world around you! Cheers, Michael Joly, Founder, Solu.

So great

This app is wonderful and addictive in the best way, but I think you would get many many many more subscribers and make this magic accessible to way more people if you lowered your prices a little.

What happened?

Last year the app was free with the option to donate.
Now it’s subscription without any notification other than the screen saying that your free trial is over.
Sooo not cool. I recommended it to others. I feel like it is just another bait and switch.

Hi there, thanks for your comment. We found there were not enough paid subscribers to continue to offer the Solu ToneStream service to all who were using it for free. Our mission is to bring peace and healing to the world, through sound––as a heart based company. We don't have any in-app advertising, or in-app pitches to purchase––only a gentle, tone-based meditation experience. We have un-recouped development costs and have on-going streaming and developer labor expenses. We know we're offering a valuable service and we're simply asking folks to try it for 1 month, for free. If it resonates with them a $1.99 / mo. subscription for the benefits of more peace, more unity and better sleep is a small price to pay for those life-changing benefits. I hope this explains why we changed our subscription offer. Thanks for your understanding. Best, Michael Joly, Founder, Solu

This is misleading

I am currently requesting my money back from apple. The app is misleading in so much as you think it’s a one off payment so you accept the payment in the belief that you only have a one time charge. Then once you download the app and have already paid you then have to make monthly payment. This is a con in my opinion and had I known this from the beginning I would not have downloaded it. It has not been marketed properly.

Best app ever!!

I love love love this app! I have ADHD and struggle to read and relax in general due to the background noises . Not anymore!! It’s so relaxing that my brain doesn’t register it as “noise” only relaxation that is so subtle that I don’t even notice it’s there!! It helps me read, relax, and sleep. I use it everyday, I can’t give this app enough stars.

Not happy with latest update

You have to subscribe now. Before, it was completely free. Not really thrilled with the change. Was a great program I would use all the time as I could not always have my n.o.w. Devices with me.

Grounding and cleansing

I’ve downloaded countless meditation and sound apps, only to delete them a few days later. Solu is by far my favorite one. It took no time to set up, you can choose how much, if anything, to pay for it, and there are no ads even if you have the free version. The moment I started it, my senses focused on it and the chatter in my brain stopped. It feels like a warm bath for the soul. So grateful to have found it.

Food for the Soul

I have been using the app for a month now and I can’t get over how it helps me to glimpse the transcendent even as I move through the mundane. I wear the tones when I go to supermarket and colors of all the products are brighter and I can see deeper into the eyes of the checkout person.
The tones sit in the background but subtlety make you aware of where you are and why you are here. There is no real word for it but you could say it brings love and joy to the ordinary world and helps you to hear the universe deep within you. Some might say it reduces stress, but I would say it makes stress irrelevant. Listen to the tones and tune your mind to a new channel, a 24/7 cable news channel from the cosmos.

No Magic Link

Requested it 4 times over a few hours. App won’t let me proceed. What a waste.

What a gift to humanity 🥹🙇‍♀️🥰

Having purchased the physical version (the n.o.w. Tone Therapy System) & received great benefit from it, I was hoping to find an app for anywhere access. Imagine my surprise & delight to find an app by the same creators. And you made it price accessible to all. And you made it the same stream for all. I had some hesitation around having to create an account, but I’ve already benefitted from your brand so there’s some trust. Please keep doing your great work, of great service, with great love.

Solu N.O.W. Tone Therapy seriously works!!

I’ve had the Solu N.O.W. Tone Therapy speaker units for months now, and absolutely love them, but you can’t always have them with you (work, etc.) and you can’t always listen to them because you might be in a shared environment, and you might also want a longer session than 3 min. Enter this app! I’ve been waiting and waiting for this app to come out, and I’m so excited it’s finally here! I just gave it a test run, and it did not disappoint! I’m SO needing this on my lunch breaks at work, and before bed, and first thing in the morning, to help with my anxiety and daily stress, and these magical sounds actually work!! Thank you so much for the different payment options!! One suggestion: have an option to send a one-time tip, so that I could send maybe $5 here, $10 there, without committing to a monthly or yearly amount. Also, not sure if this is a bug, but when I first clicked on the Quick Refresh timer, it began a 1-min countdown and no sound was playing. I turned silent mode off, still nothing. I tapped the center of the screen, waited, tapped again, nothing. I tapped the left of the screen to go back to see the timers, and as the screen slid over, the sound started playing. Weird. I quit the app and restarted it but now it seems to be working fine and I can’t seem to reproduce the issue. The only other request would be to not have the saved timers end-to-end, left to right. Not intuitive or obvious that this is where my saved timers are (You can’t see them and thus don’t know to swipe right and left on the saved timers to see your other saved ones). This extra effort to access them also makes them less convenient then simply displaying them on the available screen space to tap, and makes accessing them just as time consuming as changing the timer each time. Would love them to stack vertically, or to flow like text on a screen. Would also be nice for 3-5 of my favorite timers to appear at the bottom of the main screen to simply tap to jump right into a season, and have them disappear once the session starts, and reappear once it’s over. Along this line, it would be INCREDIBLE to EXTEND a timer on the screen to keep a session going for longer if you realize you really should have set a longer timer and don’t want the session to end quite yet. Thanks for this incredible app!!
