- [R1] White Noise Deep Sleep Sounds 7 Day Trail: Pay to use this very basic white app. It complicates and monetizes what should be a straightforward service.
- [R6] White Noise Deep Sleep Sounds Expensive: Why force people to download your app only to find out there is a charge?
- [R8] White Noise Deep Sleep Sounds It’s not free: There are plenty better apps which are not only free, but much better.
- [R19] White Noise Deep Sleep Sounds Great white nose app: Great white nose app for helping babies sleep, but it does not need to be a subscription! I would happily pay a reasonable one-time price, but ongoing payment is ridiculous. I don’t use any of the premium features anyway and don’t need new sounds, just the basics.
- [R4] White Noise Deep Sleep Sounds Very few sounds: There are only 5-6 mediocre sounds available to free users. Lots more sounds available if you pay. But the App is more money than it’s worth.
- [R39] White Noise Deep Sleep Sounds Boo premium: I like it but I think they should make things less premium because I don’t want to pay and their a r not a lot of sounds without premium.
- [R10] White Noise Deep Sleep Sounds Charged me even though I cancelled within 7 days. Not cool.: I subscribed to a 7 day free trial and cancelled before the 7 days were up. It seemed like a great ap the few times I used it, but the company charged my credit card 39.99 even though I cancelled within the 7 day free trial time period. I am disappointed in this, have contacted apple and hope the owners of better sleep make this right.
- [R3] White Noise Deep Sleep Sounds Couple of issues: Use app to help put my 2 month old to bed. You're unable to use certain apps while playing sounds like Facebook or random gaming apps without it turning itself off and playing music from the apps even if you turn the sound off on the app itself. So it's hard to keep yourself awake while you're trying to put someone else to sleep.
- [R28] White Noise Deep Sleep Sounds White noise deep sleep sounds Airplane cabin: It’s a very nice app! But it only stays on for 8 hours and shuts off in the middle of the night so then I have to go on my phone and turn it back on. I know I can pay to get longer hours but I don’t have a card and why would they make me pay.?? There’s a lot of options but you have to pay to “unlock” them. Over all I really do like the app cause they
- [R12] White Noise Deep Sleep Sounds Great but....: Tons of sounds, most are pretty good actually but about half are pointless. Unless you really want the sound of a microwave to help you sleep. They give you you a ridiculous amount of sounds and no way to favorite them?? So I have to dig through every time and remember that one version of a fan noise I liked? You have the sounds now just make this user friendly.
- [R52] Calm Essential: Meditation is a great skill to find clarity of thought. This allows decision making to made more maturely
- [R55] Calm Calm has changed me and my life: I’ve been using Calm for about 2 years, and the first time i used it was listening to a sleep story. I was going thru a roughy time in my life, and putting my ear buds in at night to try and get better sleep was very relieving. The sleep stories took it up another few notches! The meditation, the breathing, the reflecting have all helped me discover things about my
- [R56] Calm Calm: Very good. I love the calming piano music, it helps me relax after homework,deering stress. Thank you Calm!🫠🤗
- [R60] Calm Daily: Thanks to my mother and Calm, I was finally able to meditate daily. I think there is probably something for everyone on this app. I recommend it to my patients to help them learn mindfulness meditation. I find Jeff Warren’s meditations refreshing and useful for their honesty and practicality. I just hope they keep it affordable to all, maybe providing scholarships to those who cannot aff
- [R2] White Noise Deep Sleep Sounds Brown noise: For years, I’ve used a white noise maker - even packing it in my suitcase for travel. I decided that I wanted something more portable and added this app. It recommended brown noise based on my goals. It really did seem to make a difference. I was able to increase the volume as well. The price point of about $3 per month was also more reasonable than other apps. It has a nice range of
- [R5] White Noise Deep Sleep Sounds 8000 hours: Ocean Waves is good
- [R7] White Noise Deep Sleep Sounds Love the green noise and theta waves: This app is the best whether you’re on a noisy train or trying to get some Deep Sleep. It has sounds for every occasion.
- [R51] Calm Promo said free for 7 days, charged me immediately: The app charged me $80 when it said I was signing up for a free trial. Despicable.
- [R59] Calm Access: I would like to be able to access some kind of meditation without having to pay for it or at least not in the realm that I can justify. I like the app, but I need what money I have and I like to meditate!
- [R63] Calm $$$: Years ago when calm first started they actually had inspirational quotes after you finished a meditation. But now that version costs money lol. I get app developers need to make money, but the concept of charging to stay “calm” is just lame to me. Barely anything is free on this app.
