Very good app. Thank you. ### 2/5 — Kicks me out *2022-07-11, version 2.2* Every time I select a sound it kicks me out to the home page. Even though $1.99 is not a lot, the program should not have serious bugs ### 4/5 — Love it, but… *2022-05-26, version 2.2* I LOVE this app, but it is extremely annoying that I cannot simply click on my custom sound and have it play. You can’t click on ANY sounds and they just play. If this bug could be fixed, I would rate five stars, because it is an amazing app and I use it every night to assist in sleeping. Somebody please fix this! ### 2/5 — Paid Version crashes *2022-03-25, version 2.2* Not sure what happened but the paid version crashes. You need to click the Zen icon and create a mix. I agree with the another commenter, and only found this work around because of them. Please fix the crashing, it does get annoying ### 3/5 — Liked it at first *2021-09-30, version 2.2* I really enjoyed the sound of thunder but when I purchased the App. I thought more would become available but just a bunch more that are locked ### 3/5 — Crashes!! *2021-04-16, version 2.2* My daughter loves this app but she just upgraded it and every time you click on a sound it closes out ### 3/5 — Plz help. *2020-11-13, version 2.2* When I get on the app, it works, but when I press on a sound, it brings me to the home screen of my iPad. Please fix this. It is very annoying and I had to ask my mom for money to get this app. I know it will be good if it didn’t crash but please fix this. I have the regular one but I want more sounds but it crashes whenever I pick a sound please update to be compatible with the newest update on IOS please I will give 5 star when it is fixed😁 ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2020-10-17, version 2.2* I have the paid version of the app that crashes every time I click on one of the sounds. I would love the app if you could fix this bug, ### 2/5 — Crashes? Potential workaround *2020-09-11, version 2.2* I use this app every night to help me sleep. It works great. But recently it’s crashed every time I tap on any of the sounds. For those experiencing this issue on the paid version, you can tap the Zen logo at the top to create mixes. If you add a mix and just play the sound you want, it will work without crashing. Still frustrating that it doesn’t work outright, but at least it’s still usable. Love the app otherwise, but would appreciate a fix for this apparently common bug. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2020-08-06, version 2.2* I downloaded, paid the money, set every up like I wanted and all of a sudden it went to the home screen, I’d open it up, click on what I wanted to hear and it would go straight back to the home screen! This app hasn’t worked since I got it! If anyone could help I’d greatly appreciate it, I’ve even deleted it and downloaded it again only for the same to keep occurring, I guess that’s $1.99 I’ll never get back! Very frustrating!! ### 1/5 — Love free app, paid for full app never worked and crashes *2020-07-26, version 2.2* I loved the free app and went and bought full app. I feel cheated because it never has once worked. It keeps crashing when I select a sound. Really bummed and feel like aim wasted $2.00. ### 1/5 — App keeps crashing *2020-07-21, version 2.2* I purchased this app. Used to work awesome. And now every time I click on a sound it crashes. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled it numerous times. I’ve hard reset my phone numerous times. Free app and purchased app don’t work. Such a disappointment. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work. Don’t pay for it! *2020-07-19, version 2.2* The free version works great I love it but wanted more sounds. I paid for this pro version and IT DOES NOT WORK AT ALL! Every time I choose a sound the app closes I’ve tried deleting and downloading again over and over and nothing works. So don’t spend your money stick with the free version!!!!! ### 2/5 — Latest version crashing *2020-07-10, version 2.2* As others have reported, the latest version is crashing to home when trying to load sounds. Would love to have an older version re-uploaded. ### 1/5 — It’s crashing! *2020-07-08, version 2.2* I have had this app for years, at least 3-4 years maybe... and I remember buying the pro. All of a sudden I can’t use either of the apps!! Every time I select any of the sounds to play it crashes and closes the app on me! I can’t live without my alarm clock on this app, waking to birds is the best way to wake up and falling asleep to the rain is the only I can sleep! HELP! ### 1/5 — Was a 5 star when it worked *2020-07-07, version 2.2* Free version stopped working. I’d open the app, set the timer, click rural nights, and off to sleep. Then last night the app would open but when I clicked any of the themes the app shut down. So I downloaded the paid version for $1.99 thinking that should work. NOPE. Same issue rendering this app useless on my phone. Software is current at ver. 13.5.1. What a waste of two bucks. ### 3/5 — Need help with app *2020-07-06, version 2.2* Enjoyed the app for a couple of days, but now i cannot access. I have the paid version - click on a sound and it bounces me out to my home screen. Deleted app and reliaded - still doesn’t work. No access to support in app - found a customer service email address that was undeliverable (artsyapps). Why isn’t there an inapp help option? Hope Christopher or someone else reads this and can assist. Thanks. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Uuhhgg *2023-05-13, version 2.2* Great app when it used to work right. Now when you click on a sound it crashes and takes you to your Home Screen. I noticed all my sounds are disabled and can’t figure out how to fix it. Hopefully the developers of this app can do something. I’d love to give it a 5 star rating. ### 1/5 — Wish the paid version worked *2022-07-08, version 2.2* I enjoyed the free version and decided to upgrade to pro. After downloading the program, I try using it but the pro version blinks off and goes back to my home screen. It’s been like this for over a year. When will this be fixed?? ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2021-12-10, version 2.2* I downloaded the free version and had issues as it seemed like there were no sounds. I’ve been paid for the pro version, and still don’t get any sounds. Based on the reviews I’ve seen, I’m not the only one who’s had these issues. Please fax as this is clearly a waste of money at this time. ### 1/5 — Crashes routinely *2021-11-26, version 2.2* I have experienced the same trouble that others here have reported: the app loads fine but any attempt to select a sound (which is, of course, the entire point of the app), it crashes. ### 1/5 — Waste of Money *2021-03-11, version 2.2* I was so looking forward to some new sleep sounds so downloaded this and paid $1.99. However I have not been able to use it since the app shuts down as soon as you click on a sound. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling and rebooting my device....nothing works.....so my advice is to not waste your money. ### 1/5 — Do not waste money on full version *2021-03-02, version 2.2* The full version crashes and it would seem they have no interest in fixing it or else the company has gone out of business. The free version still appears to work though. ### 1/5 — Ap no longer works *2021-02-01, version 2.2* After the last update, this app and Zensong - earth no longer work. I paid for both of these apps and am incredibly disappointed that my money was taken for apps that is seems the developer is no longer concerned about fixing. I did attempt to contact them on Twitter, but it seems they have not had much activity since 2016. I doubt anyone trying to reach them will have very little luck. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work after update. *2020-11-07, version 2.2* The app worked great until I updated it this week, now I click on it, and it just disappears. It appears the only way to contact customer service is by Twitter which I do not use, which is ridiculous. ### 1/5 — I just want it to work! *2020-08-14, version 2.2* I just paid for the full version, but should have read the most recent reviews before I did. It doesn’t work. It closes when you try to play one of the sounds. Please fix this. ### 1/5 — Great when it works *2020-08-11, version 2.2* This is a wonderful app when it works. I am a therapist and I use this app daily in my sessions; however, for the past two months, whenever I make a selection, the app closes itself. I'm very disappointed considering a paid for the app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Authentic sounds *2021-01-27, version 2.2* There are lots of good nature sounds apps. I like the variety of sounds on Zen and how real they sound. I use it for sleeping every night. ### 5/5 — Free version played but paid version isn’t playing. *2020-08-14, version 2.2* I was able to listen to all the sounds in the free app using voiceover. I bought the paid version and now I can’t get it to play. Hopefully you can help me figure out what went wrong. Thank you. This is a five star app if it starts playing again. ### 5/5 — Sleep inducer *2020-07-09, version 2.2* I use this when I can’t sleep and it works every time. It even helps when I get a migraine - drowns our the noise with soft sounds that don’t hurt. Love it. ### 5/5 — Really like the sounds *2020-06-03, version 2.0* And glad that you can blend at different intensities. ### 5/5 — Use it every night *2020-05-05, version 2.0* Feel asleep quick and wake up rested ### 5/5 — Thankful *2019-04-13, version 2.0* I finally found a way to get better sleep thanks to this App ### 5/5 — Very useful and worth a few dollars *2018-11-26, version 2.0* This is one of the best nature sound apps I’ve tried. It has a good variety of sounds, which you can also mix to customize, and the sound quality is really good. I definitely recommend. ### 5/5 — Anxiety Relief *2018-03-08, version 2.0* This app really keeps me level headed when I'm stressed. I can listen to it as if I were in the woods while trying to sleep. I love being in the woods and this helps me feel happy! ### 5/5 — Sensing *2018-01-11, version 2.0* Love this app! When I have trouble falling asleep I put it on and the next thing I know it is morning! ### 5/5 — Awesome Pro Version! *2017-12-22, version 2.0* This app has an awesome pro version! Like 35 new sounds for only 1.99! The new sounds are unique and you probably won't find as many sounds in one app like it. Because how long will you hear a long thing of ice cracking or a cat purring? --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
