### 1/5 — New Update Broke It

*2026-05-22*

It only works until your phone locks.

### 1/5 — Added music in latest update is terrible

*2022-08-10*

I’ve been using this app for years but hate the new update - the music under the guided meditations is awful and intrusive.

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing

*2021-01-03*

Her voice is so calming, I like the fact you can adjust the volume of the music and her voice separately, I’m finally able to not fall asleep immediately but now I realize I can’t get thru an entire exercise bc it crashes every time. Boo:(

### 1/5 — Distracting accent

*2019-07-23*

I agree with the one star review that the accent of the yoga leader was very distracting and unsettling

### 1/5 — Awful

*2015-06-17*

The computer generated voice is not relaxing at all and way too many words are pronounced incorrectly. Many times it's impossible to even understand what words are being said. What a shame. If they invested in a better production this would likely be a great product. I'm irritated I wasted money on this as I just can't listen to it.

### 2/5 — :/

*2014-11-24*

As informações são legais, as instruções também - exceto que a narradora tem um sotaque muito forte, muitas vezes não consegui entender o que foi dito. Isso me distraiu durante a prática. Estou arrependida de ter comprado o app :/

### 3/5 — It’s Okay

*2014-11-01*

I liked the choices and longer sessions. The accent, tho nice, is at times hard to understand. Also in one section the breath count down from 27 to 0 went really fast! Im used to that taking a lot longer.

### 4/5 — Yoga nidra app

*2014-08-14*

Might seem pricey for an app, but you get six different routines here, the longest lasting 45 mins, so this is a lot better value compared to a CD or download. 

The voice is vital in something like this. In the Nidra app, the female voice is pleasant and relaxed. A slight Asian accent, and some of the pronunciation is odd, but this is not a distraction once things get going.  

The range of beginners, medium and advanced sessions is welcomed and the variety proves useful in avoiding the same old session over and over

### 5/5 — So relaxing!

*2022-08-31*

This is my favorite yoga nidra app. Thank you so much for adding back the ability to mute the background music.  Great customer service!

### 5/5 — One of the best - even with its flaws

*2022-05-23*

There are so few authentic yoga Nidra apps that contain the level of depth and insight that this one does.  I think her accent is endearing and the app only crashes if you keep trying to change the volume.  If you set it and leave it it works perfectly.

I use this almost every day and prefer it to everything else I’ve tried.  It’s an idiosyncratic gem.

### 5/5 — Superb Nidra App

*2014-11-29*

I'm impressed! Have had this app for several days and love it. There are several audio programs to choose from and I especially enjoy "Inner Journey" and "Tantric Chakra." I wish there were an optional repeat button. I also wish the countdowns from 27-to-zero allowed the time to actually complete the full count. In "Inner Journey" there are three such countdowns, each only lasting for five breaths. I suggest either changing the audio to match the time allowance or preferably, lengthen the time. These are minor complaints. I highly recommend this app both for experienced Nidra practitioners as well as for anyone seeking a technique to relax.

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2014-06-03*

I have several Yoga Nidra sessions on CD or apps, but this is by far the best of them. Carmen's voice is gentle and soothing and she leads the listener into a deep and profound state of relaxation.  The choice of 6 exercises gives me plenty of variety. I highly recommend this app.  :)
