App seems fine, but from my experience 95% of the content is locked behind their paid subscription, which was I was asked to use a “free trial” not once, but twice, and that was even before I had even got to the main menu. You’re only given a very select few “options”, heck even the […]

I love the interface, and the overall feel of the app. The only reason I’m rating it 4 stars instead of 5, is because of the price. i believe there are similar, if not better stories narrated on YouTube for free. The convenience of having all the features in one app really shouldn’t warrant such […]

Not worth a subscription – you can get better on Youtube. The search is poor: you cannot find what you’re looking for. The interface is bad: I’ve had it where in a 7-day week-long series, it doesn’t start on the next episode automatically (and can go back to what you listened to yesterday). And lastly […]

I listen to lofi to help me fall asleep, among other sleep sound apps. I was thrilled to find an app that combined the best of both worlds! Now, however, instead of setting a timer and having music play continuously in the background, this app stops playing after EVERY. SINGLE. SONG. Haven’t used it in […]

Didn’t work at all. Nice stories, but didn’t work. i did not want to subscribe to this app; i thought i had unsubscribed after the trial period. I was, of course, charged the year long subscription fee of $76.and some cents. i need that returned as i do live on a budget. plus, the app […]

There’s a great variety in sleep stories, but the navigation is focused on repeating ones you’ve already listened to. The app also tends to crash when opening it for the first time each day, which makes it harder to choose content, which partially defeats the purpose of sleep meditations. But all in all, it’s still […]

This app used to be great. They had a good layout, able to save what you wanted (with a subscription) so you could find it quickly when you needed something. I had to do this to help in times of bad agoraphobia with panic attacks. Then Calm started changing EVERYTHING and my go-to stuff I […]

READ the CRITICAL Reviews BEFORE you spend money for this app! According to what I’ve read, their so-called “free” version is just a small fraction of the full premium paid version. I tried this app again, and it’s still NOT Free! Free for only 7 days, then you must pay a LOT of money. NO […]

This is app is terrible for helping with sleep, especially when downloading it in the middle of the night. It offers way to many listening options and its hard to find what you are looking for when you just need something simple to help you sleep, which definitely doesn’t make a person feel calm. All […]

*UPDATED/DOWNGRADED!* Nearing 3rd yr w/Calm. I really likeD it, to pay the $$ (most expensive app I have-2026 is $$$INCREASING!). No longer use every feature, STILL completely annoyed w/OFFERS (PUSH) to share w/others (Christmas DEAL finally gone, NOW it’s a FAMILY OFFER -WON’T GO AWAY & NO OPTION TO GET RID OF-EVEN AFTER YOU VIEWED). […]

I downloaded this app (and paid the outrageous subscription fee) to help with sleep. I have it on both my pixel phone and Samsung tablet. This app randomly “freezes” during the night (about 30% of the time) so it goes silent. Nothing more frustrating than coming back to bed after bathroom and trying to decide […]

Be careful when accepting “offers”. The ad said 50% off for mental health awareness month and the option was to start the 7 day free trail only which would have allowed canceling with a 2 day advance reminder. Not only did I not get any 2 day notice (yes, I confirmed all email folders and […]

The content is good, but there are constant popups to share the app with others. If I wake and want to start a new story/session I have to click out of an ad before I can do that. I get frustrated and it becomes even harder to fall back asleep. I didn’t pay $70 to […]

I would rate this higher, since whats there is pretty good, but WAY too much is locked behind premium. I don’t make in app purchases, and I literally can’t access even like 1/8 of what is available. they give you like five things you. an access and none of the daily things are available. if […]

Long time subscriber here. I’m changing my previous rating from 5 to 1 ⭐ until the app gets sorted out. I noticed months ago issues that others have reported already with no bell in timed meditations or app stopping working when the screen goes blank. Also can’t resume the meditation after the screen goes off […]

I loved the app until I tried to upgrade to the family plan and they charged almost twice the amount. It was supposed to be $119. I was billed $207.47! Now I find out I have to wait 2-3 days to get an email from support to even start the support process? There isn’t even […]

The best app for guided meditations, hands down . It has plenty of short meditations that you can pull up anytime you’re feeling anxious, and it has daily meditations to help you get started with your day. There are specific meditations like before a meeting, studying, general anxiety etc. to help get you in the […]

Looking for something simple, keep looking. You must create an account, pick username and password, add friends, click on this and that, go through ad after ad. Then you get a jumbled mess that you have to look through to find a sound. I just want a list of sounds with a timer! Thanks for […]

you HAVE to pay to use it and it’s not clear before downloading or signing in. Yes it gives you a 7 day free trial but other than that you have to pay to use any part of it. If you read all the info it mentions .99+ but a lot apps say that because […]

I have been using ( and paying for )this app for about two years. I really do enjoy it, but it lacks some basic features to make it 5 🌟. First, they claim you can download things to listen offline, but it does not work. at least it does not work on a Samsung S24. […]
