A longer one specific for sleep would be very helpful, as would one not intended for sleep but for daytime positioning. This short one seems to be trying to be so multipurpose! An all- night play with the option for the wake command after x-time would be great! Also, play in the background so the screen shuts off. ### 1/5 — Insufficient to Say the Least *2013-07-14, version 3.0* As TMD sufferers we are desperate for any relief and most of us have spent years dealing with people who claim to have an answer. This app is not the answer. It is cruel to prey on people who are in constant pain. ### 1/5 — Very disappointed *2013-03-26, version 3.0* Out of sheer desperation I downloaded this app. Less than 5 minutes of hypnosis and I was already doing this "trick" anyway. No auto stop, no "sleep" option biggest waste of money yet :( Another reason to keep on clenching. ### 4/5 — Really helpful practice *2012-10-31, version 3.0* Helps with this painful condition! ### 1/5 — Waste *2012-10-13, version 3.0* There's no sound....what a waste of money ### 1/5 — If the sound worked... *2012-09-21, version 2.0* The sound doesn't work. Just spent money on nothing. Very upset. ### 5/5 — Goodbye Night Guard! *2012-05-05, version 2.0* Didn't take long for this technique to become automatic, but do be patient and keep listening. I also use it during the day when I'm tense or exercising. Great for easing neck strain during Pilates classes. ### 1/5 — Cl *2012-04-28, version 2.0* Don't waste your money!! ### 5/5 — Great ap! *2012-03-12, version 1.0* A very simple message that was the only thing to provide me any relief. Just started this three nights ago and will continue. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Sweet relief! *2012-02-18, version 1.0* Spending a few minutes to bring consciousness and awareness to where I was contributing to my TMJD and could relax the tissues with this guidance was time well spent! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — It doesn’t work *2026-08-11, version 4.0* I can’t give it an actual review because I never got the opportunity to hear it. After downloading it, deleting it, and re-downloading it troubleshooting in every direction it never worked. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2023-04-18, version 4.0* Do not download, sound doesn’t play. ### 1/5 — Waste of money!! *2022-06-29, version 4.0* This stupid app doesn’t even work!! Won’t play anything. What a rip off!! ### 1/5 — Useless *2020-09-09, version 4.0* This is a recording of something like 3 minutes or a guy telling you to relax your jaw, keep your tongue on the roof of your palate and let go of tension. Honestly useless. Just find something similar on YouTube and it will prob help more ### 1/5 — No sound! *2019-06-12, version 4.0* There is no sound on this app and the website doesn’t exist! ### 1/5 — Nothing waste of money *2018-05-14, version 4.0* It played once and since then has not played. Tried redownloading, turning phone on/off nothing. What a waste of money. ### 1/5 — So happy this has returned! *2018-03-13, version 4.0* Absolutely love this app! I found the app by accident several years ago and was so glad that it was available. I was suffering from depression and the medication side affect – Bruxism was greatly disturbing my sleep, causing me great discomfort. My doctor couldn’t/wouldn’t prescribe anything for it. The first time I used the app, the Bruxism stopped immediately and it became a part of my nightly routine. I stopped using the app very soon after, as the Bruxism had ceased. I recommend to everyone I know and still have it within my well-being apps. The app is pure genius and definitely one of a kind 👆🏾👆🏾👆🏾👌🏾 ### 1/5 — What a waste of money! *2015-11-11, version 3.0* It lasts about 2 minutes! Not even vaguely enough time for anyone with TMJ to relax! Basically it can be summed up in one line - put your tongue on the roof of your mouth - and that's it, simple. Only if curing TMJ were that simple there wouldn't be thousands of people suffering with it for years and years. Do yourself a favour - get a decent meditation app - it will do a lot more good than this! ### 1/5 — I thought I was the only one *2014-11-05, version 3.0* Well, I agree every single word with reviewer above me. I thought my phone has a problem. They should fix it! Or give our money back!!! ### 1/5 — Don't waste your money *2014-03-19, version 3.0* This app is a rip-off. All he does is tell you to put your tongue on the roof of your mouth so that your teeth do not touch. I cannot believe I paid four dollars for something so stupid. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Genius *2018-05-10, version 4.0* I have been suffering for a while with TMD and I want to thank the author for giving my life back. I took a chance a searched the App Store. Glad I did! Thank you for this life changing product Niagara Falls Canada ### 5/5 — Kim *2014-07-28, version 3.0* I've listened to this while going to sleep. Seems to be helpful it's just day 2 .... I will give it a week and let you know. ### 5/5 — Relief *2014-06-19, version 3.0* Love this app! What a relief to find something that works! Love not having to wear my custom made mouth piece after 15 years of wearing. Thank you for making this. Give it a week and feel the change!!!!! ### 5/5 — Outstanding! *2014-04-20, version 3.0* When I first read the instruction I thought it seems way too simple. Ten years ago I went to a massage therapist specializing in TMJ Disorder. I did receive relief & flexibility after a number of painful sessions. He also gave me a series if stretches to perform daily. However, though much better, I would still awake with pain in my jaw muscles from clinching in my sleep. Then I got away from the stretches & the tightness returned. This simple practice has completely eliminated any discomfort from TMJD. I cannot thank or recommend the instruction from this app. It is sad to think of all the people who might have benefited from this app instead of enduring other temporary treatments or worse surgeries. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2013-05-20, version 3.0* So simple and practical. Thank you ### 5/5 — Relief at last! *2013-04-26* A short simple recording but the most effective thing I have found for relieving jaw tension! Better than splints and drugs for relief. Highly rate this. ### 5/5 — Really good *2013-01-25, version 3.0* It's really helping me ### 5/5 — Great *2013-01-16, version 3.0* Stopped my pain right away on the first listen. Still have to listen for result - am not "cured" yet but hope to change the habit of clenching more fully soon. I do have to leave the ringer on my phone on for it to work, which is not the case with my other apps, but, I just put the phone on airplane mode before using it. There are some other little sound annoyances that break through because of this, but overall the app works well, the tech support has been extremely responsive, and I have much more comfort in my jaw. The shortness of the session was perfect because it worked quickly and the auto repeat was great because I can leave it on at night to wake without pain in the morning. ### 5/5 — Give it some time, it definitely works for some folks. *2012-09-21, version 2.0* What an elegant (and inexpensive) approach to solving teeth grinding. Seems like anyone suffering should give this try, could be the best few bucks you ever spend. Not sure why some reviewers were surprised by the content/features of the app, it clearly says it's an audio recording to be used repeatedly. ### 5/5 — Unbelievable! *2012-07-22, version 2.0* I was totally sceptical about this app, but was having serious problems with clenching my teeth in my sleep. On a whim, I downloaded and listened and feel like it was the best night's sleep I've had in I don't know how long. No wonder I am normally always so tired and have headaches and backaches! This was the first morning I've woken up without an aching back for months. I'm very very impressed, and thankful! Would be nice if it went for a little longer though. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
