Very minor details, otherwise I strongly recommend 😍 **Developer response:** Hi Susanher, thanks very much for your positive review and recommendation. I’m pleased to hear that you find the practice and the app useful. Both excellent suggestions, noted. Workaround re sleep: not to worry about it too much. Once exhaustion has run its course, you will enter a relaxed, yet aware state instead of falling asleep. Also, it works even if you fall asleep, just in a different way. Workaround re intention: spend some time working on the statement beforehand until you are satisfied and do it once instead of thrice during the track. Please do write if you have any questions anytime. Happy nidra 🙏🏽 ❧ Best, Kanya ❧ kanya.kanchana@gmail.com ❧ For more resources, you are welcome to check out www.alarmelyoga.com/yoganidra. ### 5/5 — Part of my routine *2024-05-21, version 1.5* I play one of these before bed every night, and they have pretty much eradicated sleepless nights. I appreciate the variety as well! ### 5/5 — Lifesaver *2024-05-14, version 1.5* This app is a lifesaver after a night of inadequate sleep. I don't sleep when I listen to it, but I drift in and out of consciousness and feel refreshed when the practice is over. ### 5/5 — Love this helpful app *2023-10-08, version 1.5* As a first time in practicing relaxation, this app made it easy for this 60 yrs, overweight Granma on a quest to get healthier. Thank you!!! ### 5/5 — Simple, Sweet, Private *2023-07-30, version 1.5* Thank you for this offering, which respects our privacy and keeps it simple and non-commercial, with a soothing voice to boot. ### 5/5 — Zzzz *2023-01-14, version 1.5* You won’t last. Surrender and wake fresh ### 5/5 — Just getting started…already seeing benefits *2022-09-26, version 1.5* Thank you thank you thank you for this app! I started last week and day 1, I woke up with a “sleep headache “ as I didn’t sleep well the night before. I did the gentle track and not only was the headache gone, I felt refreshed! Love the the tensing of all muscles and progressive awareness of body parts. Beyond grateful! Thanks again. ### 5/5 — Great practice *2022-08-04, version 1.5* Started with short free version for several months and upgraded to the longer practices .I use in later afternoon as recharge for last 6-8 hours and has been great .For me ,it has helped with late day energy ,as well as incredible consistent sleep ### 5/5 — Great app *2022-03-16, version 1.5* Easy to use very soothing good voice thank you ### 5/5 — Excellent and authentic *2021-11-18, version 1.5* I started studying meditation about a year ago. I have used this app for relaxation, breath work, sleep, and chronic pain. It is one of the best guided techniques out there. ### 5/5 — Very authentic Yoga Nidra *2021-04-15, version 1.5* I have done many Yoga Nidra classes and I find this very similar. If you have trouble falling asleep this will definite help. Although, I try to complete the session and have some quiet time, I often fall asleep to the sound of her voice. And I am in a deep sleep. ### 5/5 — Margaret *2021-01-17, version 1.5* This is one of the best, easy to follow yoga nidras you’ll find. It’s of the Satyananda tradition. Best, and I’ve tried A LOT. ### 5/5 — Rejuvenating *2021-01-15, version 1.5* A wonderful tool for a deep practice. The gentle sounds in the background enhances the experience and space to practice yoga Nidra. It would be nice if there was just a bit more time to repeat your san culpa. ### 5/5 — Short Yoga Nidra *2020-12-23, version 1.5* Nicely Done,Perfect Pace!! ### 5/5 — She is Real *2020-11-11, version 1.5* The only one I trust It’s her beautiful voice helps and true honesty and conviction to being real ! ### 5/5 — Beneficial for relaxation *2020-08-24, version 1.5* I’m a scientist and have a leisurely interest in meditative traditions. I partake in mindfulness based practices in an infrequent basis, but sometimes I feel one almost ends up trying to hard with such practices. Not to knock it, it’s just not for me. Yoga Nidra, and the exercises in this app have been very beneficial to me. I feel immediate benefits and find it easy to just ‘be’ and follow the script. I find the voice over soothing and I also like the choice of background sounds. I try to do the 10 minute relation one daily ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — $$ WASTED for year app that doesn’t WORK *2025-08-19, version 1.5* Every time I tried to open it, it was in the evening… and I couldn’t get in. My log in didn’t work and I’ve tried to reset my password so many times and the app simply frozen. Paid money for something that did not work after the free trial! ### 1/5 — Sound quality *2025-02-16, version 1.5* Why do the Tibetan High Bowls have disappointing scratchy sounds? ### 1/5 — Patronizing tone, not relaxing *2019-08-06, version 1.2* Reading text too fast, patronizing voice doesn't help relax, feels like u r being given orders in a army ### 1/5 — Deceptive Advertising *2019-05-30, version 1.2* The description on the app states ‘free’. The reality is it costs $3.99 to unlock one of the three “free” guided meditations. While $3.99 isn’t much money I refuse to participate in a developer who misleads people. ### 2/5 — No clear indication that Only 10 minutes is free *2019-11-05, version 1.2* İ was very excited to find this app. However, quickly disappointed that there wasnt any clear indication that you get abt 10 min free and the other 2 are for purchase. İ thought İ looked through it, read the description, a few reviews and sounded good and downloaded it. When i went back to see where this was indicated, i had to search for it. İts not in the description. Just above the screen pics of the diff themes and still doesnt catch your eye. İ find this deceptive. İ will erase the app! ### 3/5 — Just one bad thing *2020-10-06, version 1.5* I like the app and the fact I can use it online. I only care about the fact that my phone rang in the middle of it (with no sound) but I wasn’t able to proceed for. The point I was. It would be great if the user has the option to skip some time (for edge cases). ### 4/5 — Nice app *2025-01-18, version 1.5* The app is nice. The practice is good, but it would be better if the speaker spoke softer because that would make the tone more relaxing. ### 4/5 — So Nice. *2020-08-05, version 1.5* I love this yoga Nidra! The only change I would make is that the long introduction should be something you can turn off and not have to listen to over and over. Otherwise this is wonderful yoga Nidra. ### 4/5 — I AM *2019-09-12, version 1.2* I find It’s a great way to start my day. ### 4/5 — Relaxing but needs some technical help *2017-08-05, version 1.2* Great app!! I wish there was a way to rewind/fast forward without needing to restart the app altogether. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Perfect *2026-05-31, version 1.5* Her voice is beautiful and she does the Yoga Nidra practice so perfectly. Love it! ### 5/5 — Good stuff *2026-01-14, version 1.5* Appreciate how easy to use this app is. ### 5/5 — Yoga Nidra *2025-12-24, version 1.5* I find that this is extremely relaxing and I fall asleep quickly ### 5/5 — Yoga Nidra *2025-12-14, version 1.5* I slept wishing minutes after practicing the ten minutes yoga ### 5/5 — Clear & Easy & Effective *2025-11-12, version 1.5* Love this app. Have had it for years. Great tool to have to regulate your nervous system. Also the price is great. Just download it. ### 5/5 — Yoga Nidra *2025-08-15, version 1.5* I have been using this app for a few years now and it is wonderful. Helps melt away stress and allows me to relax. ### 5/5 — Calming voice and guidance *2025-03-05, version 1.5* The bird song and calming voice make this meditation even more wonderful ### 5/5 — SPEECHLESS *2025-02-01, version 1.5* The BEST Yogic experience of my life. I’m 82 years old and this isn’t my first Rodeo. ### 5/5 — Relaxing Yoga Nidra *2024-09-28, version 1.5* I would recommend to help quiet the mind and for anxiety. ### 5/5 — Relaxing *2024-09-18, version 1.5* I’ve enjoyed using this app and wish I could use it more often, I have to make the time, right? I appreciate your making Yoga Nidra accessible to those of us who were unaware of its benefits. Thank you The voice is calming and carefully takes you on the path to calmness --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
