### 4/5 — Excellent

*2024-10-03*

Love the guided meditation, enjoy listening to professor Huberman. Only comment is that the volume was kind of low even though I raised it to the max.  Other than that great app!

**Developer response:** Hi there, thank you for bringing this into our attention. Could you provide us with more details about what happened? This will help us investigate the issue and ensure it doesn't occur again. Please send us a message directly at support@virtusan.com

### 4/5 — Overall Great, but…

*2023-12-28*

Note for Devs/content team: In the middle of the 30-minute NSDR session, there is a slight, but certainly noticeable editing error. 

There is a line that needs to be taken out. That line is between 20:09 and 20:22. 
• Rather than, ‘line of illumination’ he accidentally says, ‘line of eliminate’
• This error was noticed and corrected in the following line. — Therefore, the only change needed to be made is simply editing out the portion I have indicated. 
***This is certainly a small, understandable error that anyone could make. That said, it certainly can take you out of your NSDR state.

Considering this falls under a “paid” portion of the app, as well as the simplicity of the issue, I would hope this gets resolved quickly. — When see this change has occurred, I will certainly update my star review from 4 to 5 as well as replace this written review with all the the portions of this app that I deeply enjoy.

**Developer response:** Hi Ricky, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We greatly appreciate that you brought this to our attention. We have noted your concerns and our team will carefully review the issue you've raised, and we'll work on addressing it promptly. If you have any further details or suggestions, feel free to share them with us or contact us directly at support@virtusan.com.

### 4/5 — What happened to LightMeter?!!

*2023-09-29*

What happened to LightMeter?!! That was my biggest interest to know how much light to get in the morning. 
Otherwise, the App is improving with good content. Not quite there, yet. Adding some music and better organization of content is needed before people are willing to be paid members. Equivalent content is available for free elsewhere

**Developer response:** Hi there, we appreciate your feedback. We want to inform you that Light meter tool/Sunlight tracker you have been using in the previous version is not yet available in the current version. We understand that this tool is important to you , and we want to assure you that it will be added back to the upcoming release, which is in mid-October. If you have further concerns, please send us a message at support@virtusan.com. Thank you!

### 2/5 — Volume too low plus subscription expensive in INR

*2023-09-28*

check down the app primarily for NSDR and 40 Hz binaural beats. But the volume is very low.
I thought they would fix that in the latest update but even now the volume is extremely low. 
Also the subscription is very expensive in INR.

### 2/5 — Updated for fewer practices and locked content

*2023-09-27, version 3.0.0*

Originally, I only used this app for the Huberman narrated NSDR sessions. His style is what I prefer: to the point, effective guidance with evidence based practices. 

Virtusan has paid for more than just NSDR. There used to be a suite of practices and ideas available from a number of credible sources. 

But since v3, the app has removed most of the unique content, and it’s mostly just meditations and body scans with a daily water tracker. The subscription ($12.50 a month) unlocks the 20 and 30 minute NSDR Scripts. The only reason I even used this app. 

If you want an app for NSDR and improving sleep/relaxation that isn’t a ripoff, try Som NSDR (3.99).

### 2/5 — Promising but disappointing

*2023-09-25, version 2.2.2*

I’ve had the same experience many of the other reviewers have had. I really enjoyed the content while I could access it, however now the app is malfunctioning and all the screens have turned blank. This seems to be a persistent error based on the feedback other users are leaving.

### 3/5 — App is very glitchy…

*2023-08-14, version 2.2.2*

The user experience/interface of the app is pretty decent, but the biggest flaw about the app are the constant glitches/pauses/stops when listening to the 40 Hz Frequencies, especially the longer duration 60 min & 90 min options for WHITE. For ex., when starting a 40 Hz session, the time instantly jumps to 0:10 secs yet the sounds hasn’t even loaded/started yet, and after 30 secs when the sound does start, there are often glitches or pauses/stops, and it never makes it to the end of the 60 min or 90 min play time… it just stops erratically or spontaneously at different times, and you have to close the app & restart it to make it responsive again. Additionally, the time bar cannot be used to fast forward or rewind the time which is stupid because you can’t simply swipe it back to the beginning if you want to extent the 40 Hz session… as someone else’s review mentioned, this app should still be in Beta testing… and until they fix these glitches, I won’t pay for the premium/upgrade version and I don’t suggest anyone else to either…

### 3/5 — Workouts

*2023-08-08, version 2.2.2*

There needs to be some cardio workouts that are free. The instructor on the strength workout needs to talk a little more about what to do and how and when to start and stop.

### 1/5 — So many glitches!

*2023-08-02*

I really want to love this app and when it works it’s great! But the hz frequencies aren’t working and I’ve tried everything to try to get them to work. They were working then all of a sudden stopped! Hopefully the bug fixes will be done soon!

**Developer response:** Hi  pinot_naj, We're sorry you ran into problems. Please be assured that our team is fully aware of the issue you encountered and has successfully identified a solution, and should be fixed now. If you need further assistance or encounter the same issue, please send us a message at support@virtusan.com.

### 3/5 — Light exposure tracking doesn’t work

*2023-07-11*

I think this app has a lot of promise but the light exposure tracker doesn’t work. Whether I’m inside or outside, it just goes up ~1% per second. This doesn’t seem correct as Andrew Huberman emphasized that outdoor light is a lot stronger than indoor light. It also says the get 5-10 minutes and it finishes for me in 1.5 minutes, again whether I’m inside or outside.

**Developer response:** Hi there! We're sorry you ran into problems, and we appreciate you bringing this issue to our attention. Our team is currently investigating this issue, and we'll keep you posted once we have more information. You can also send us an email directly at  support@virtusan.com, so we can assist you further. Thank you!

### 1/5 — Very glitchy

*2023-06-04, version 2.2.2*

Time of day is perpetually wrong. Notifications don’t work

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Fresh new crash

*2024-10-08, version 3.8.0*

The fresh new look is buggy. Can’t even use it anymore

### 1/5 — Audio stop in background

*2024-07-04*

Unable to mediate. Why do I have to keep my screen on always and app doesn’t run in background. It wasn’t the case earlier.

### 1/5 — Sound goes off with auto lock

*2024-01-06*

I generally do yoga Nidra or NSDR with the app but the sound goes after 30 sec due to auto lock.

### 1/5 — I feel like I was robbed

*2023-12-12*

The old version was great. Good videos explaining different practices. Way more practices to follow and work into a routine. 

This app is a shell of the old one. I signed up for a year to get a better deal and shorty after they updated and stripped the app of all of its goodness. 

I regret signing up for a year because this version is a shell of the old app and this is. Or what I paid for. 

Extremely disappointed that I no longer get my money’s worth with this. 

This app is not anywhere worth what it used to be. Don’t waste your money here unless they bring the old version back

**Developer response:** Hi Maxoid5,We understand that change can be challenging, and we appreciate your loyalty to the previous version of our app. We want to assure you that we value your input, and our team is actively working to enhance the user experience. We understand that the latest update may not have met your expectations. If you could provide more details about the specific features or aspects of the old version that you miss, it would be incredibly helpful for us to consider in future updates. You can send us a message directly at support@virtusan.com. Thank you!

### 1/5 — Bad experience after updating

*2023-10-03, version 3.0.2*

I was prompted to update to 3.0 and as I did, I lost access to the multiple nsdr recordings I used to be able to listen to in the earlier version of the app… DO NOT UPDATE

### 1/5 — New update- everything is gone

*2023-10-01*

I was using this app for light tracking. But that feature is removed in this new version.  Many protocols are gone. Why?

### 1/5 — removed a bunch of practices

*2023-09-28, version 3.0.0*

i was excited that every practice became free so i wanted to try out things like the micronutrient stuff and try the "huberman student routine" but i literally have no idea what happened to them

### 1/5 — What have you done?

*2023-09-28, version 3.0.0*

I used this app for a month and it was awesome. Today you updated it and have completely killed it. Some of the free functions have now gone, the daily routines don't log or work properly. The exercises are laggy and intermittent. Why have you ruined this?

### 1/5 — Content is locked

*2023-09-26, version 2.2.2*

You sent an email saying the app was new, all content was unlocked. The app is new but the content is locked.

### 1/5 — Nothing in this app is free unless you subscribe first

*2023-08-24, version 2.2.2*

Would like to sample a few thing before subscribing.

### 5/5 — I love this app

*2026-02-13*

This app single-handedly helps me regulate my nervous system as someone who has C-PTSD. I genuinely feel so grateful Huberman designed this and made it accessible to the public.

### 5/5 — App

*2025-11-02, version 4.7.0*

This is solid

### 5/5 — App that keeps my body healthy.

*2024-09-26*

It's a great app that helps me focus on meditation and exercise that I can't do on my own. I'm working hard to imagine that if I keep using it, I'll be much healthier and more beautiful than I am now. I also like the visually lively and pleasant illustrations.

*2024-04-26*

### 5/5 — amazing

*2024-03-05, version 3.6.0*

your phone is awful and made you feel bad and sick? the only good thing on it can be this app! amazing, especially the meditations.

### 5/5 — A very doable and helpful ntdroduction to mindfulness

*2023-10-15*

I use this app to help me focus when I need to focus and relax when I need to relax. It has all the important basics for practicing mindfulness from some of the best researchers and practicioners in the field.

### 5/5 — Insane!

*2023-07-27, version 2.2.2*

make sure to install this app and try NSDR!

### 5/5 — Absolutely addicted to this app

*2023-05-31, version 2.2.2*

My dietitian recommended Dr Andrew Huberman to me a few weeks ago which quickly lead me to discovering this app. I’ve been trying to get myself into regular meditation, get on the Wim Hof bandwagon, care for my wellbeing and maintain self-compassion for years. I’d do it for a few days or weeks then let it slide. I’ve been using this app for about 3 weeks now and absolutely love it! With the mini-lesson videos attached to each activity, it now makes all those years of meditation classes, Wim Hof techniques, yogic breathing techniques, etc. make so much sense, giving me the big enough ‘why’ I need to stay committed to the practice. As someone with severe ADHD and Autism and chronic stress challenges, discovering this app has been an absolute godsend.
