Not worth it

Very basic with a lot of issues such as repeat button not working and not syncing with iOS properly. It’s a shame because it has a lovely layout but the content is very minimal too.

Loop function still not working on IPhone 14

Love the app, but loop function still not working on iPhone 14… have deleted and redownloaded, but still no success. Any thoughts?

Great (especially for Reddit users πŸ˜‰)

Shoutout to the developer of this app for having a way for people who don’t want to spend money on a sleep sound app get this. As a broke college student who needs to fix their sleep cycle I really appreciate this app. The green noise is fantastic, I’m going to check out the audiobooks later, I’ll update if there’s anything amazing or not amazing about them! The onboarding is super quick and easy. The first screen when you get in seems a little bare but go over to the discover page and root around. Thanks again for making this!

No Airplay

Can’t airplay to my bedroom HomePod mini, so it’s rather useless unless you just want to listen to the tiny iPhone speakers.

No possibility to scroll audiobooks

I want to continue listening audiobook from the moment I stopped before. But I have to listen over and over again..

Repeat function fails?

Sounds are decent but the repeat function for rain sounds does not work for me. I get the pleasure of 3 min of sound in total before it cuts off. Cannot work out a fix. Not very immersive.

Too many bugs

Sounds randomly stop after a few minutes, even with a timer set for longer periods.

I can’t find a way to play a single sound scale on a loop, the repeat button doesn’t work.

Such a shame because it promised so much.

Greating app 😍😍

I really like this app and I look forward to its future development

Yawn works

Simply put - it works!!!!! πŸ˜ŠπŸ‘πŸΌπŸ‘πŸΌπŸ‘πŸΌπŸ‘πŸΌπŸ‘πŸΌ

Premium lifetime not able to purchase

The $59.99 is available but NO lifetime free premium is offered like it says in the app purchase info…

No instructions and can’t contact developer

I have questions about using this app but I can’t contact the developer. All links in the App Store go to the privacy policy. Even though I got the Free Lifetime Subscription I have deleted the app because I can’t get my questions answered.

Update. After posting this review the developer did reach out to answer my questions.

Doesn’t work

With the free premium purchased . It keep asking for subscription every time the app open . And after 30 minutes there is no sound .

Room to improve

The app looks nice and I like the sleep timer.
However I am wondering why the sound, that I activated, is not playing until the end of the timer has been reached. It makes no difference whether the β€žloopβ€œ is activated or not.

Nothing special so far

In description developers claim huge library. In reality it is not.

There is repeat button but doesn't work.

Recordings (few I checked) are few minutes long. Can't put them in loop. After playlist finish I had to force app to close twice as it was frozen.

30Β£ subscription πŸ˜‚

It is new app so maybe it'll improve. As of now it's hard to recommend

Life time 0 subscription fake

It’s shows lifetime 0 while installing I couldn’t find this life time 0 options pls update or remove it it’s not good to attracting people by just showing lifetime 0 subscription

Has reasonable potential, but missing some key features and content.

This app has a nice, modern layout that is easy to use and navigate and accomplishes the basics pretty well. The quality of the audio is very good but unfortunately there’s not a lot of it, maybe around 100 tracks distributed across the categories. It’s also missing the iOS media integration that allows for lock screen controls and airplay which limits its functionality massively.

If there was significantly more (~10x) content (even AI generated, it doesn’t need lyrics) and integrated media controls then I’d be far more likely to use this, but right now it’s just too bare to use properly.

Great app but missing 1 feature

I really love Yawn but it’s missing a simple feature - allow us to repeat 1 audio sound for the X amount of time. At the moment it’s possible to set it to repeat but it seems to go through the entire catalog instead of just the 1 audio.

Good UI/X and collection too but..

The app is well designed. Good categorical division of stories and audiobooks. Soothing sound playlists are a good staple to such apps. However I’m guessing the app is in its early days still as the collection is overall very limited. I’d have hoped more items under each category. Currently the collective items in the app altogether don’t seem a lot on offer. I’m on a lifetime sub using an offer/promo so not complaining but a genuine feedback.

This app needs fixing

Wow a app that is very over priced
There is a spelling mistake β€œHov long do you want the audio to play for?” In the timer option. The timer works but the audio does not continue since some tacks or only minutes long. There is no option to just play one sound. Where is a customized play list option? The repeat button does not work. How can I fall asleep to this app when the audio tracks change every few minutes?There are many other sleep app out there that actually help you sleep. This one does not. This one is just frustrating and annoying.

it has potential

It's a pretty little app and seems like care has gone into making it. There's a lot to like: the visual appeal, good privacy of no data collected, and a wide variety of types of bedtime sounds to choose from. And I do like the green noise a lot. But lots of downsides too and at this point, definitely not worth the amount of money being asked for it. 1) Even though I have premium it keeps acting like I don't, it keeps prompting me to buy it and shows lock symbols but I can access it all. 2) No offline mode, it requires internet but at bedtime I am not connected so it's basically useless. 3) Not able to fast forward through music or audio books. 4) It looks like certain items expire so if I end up really liking something it could be taken away. 5) No search to easily find what you're looking for, just have to browse through everything until found. 6) No way to save favorites for easy access. 7) It requires a name to be given and I don't care to be called by name. 8) No explanation of the difference between the Home tab and the Discover tab. In summary: it has potential but for right now doesn't seem developed enough and is too expensive.
