Review summary

Users appreciate Andrew Johnson's gentle voice and effective relaxation guidance, with many having relied on the app for years. However, recent Android updates have frustrated users by changing original recordings, introducing technical problems, removing customization settings, and shortening sessions. The removal of continuous background music and the addition of repetitive scripts have diminished the app's effectiveness and user satisfaction. Longtime fans desire the option to revert to previous versions or recordings, highlighting a strong divide between new updates and established user expectations.

2024-01-24	Ad*****	Great voice and instruction. The settings buttons are invisible on my OS. They're there and functional, but I can't see them. I hope this helps someone else.

2023-03-31	Lu*****	Not a fan of the updated track with the music pausing with every line. Takes me out of a relaxed mood. A stop start feeling that does more anxiety than relaxation. Counterproductive. Preferred the previous version with continuous music in the background

2023-02-13	Je*****	The recording is good, but there not being a dark mode is not great. I like to use this app when going to sleep, but I don't like being blinded every time I have to look at it.

2021-02-05	Ka*****	This used to be one of a few things that could help me on a difficult night. THEN IT WAS CHANGED! I seriously don't get why. It was great as is.

2020-09-27	As*****	I want a refund. I've been listening to you for years and you rerecorded everything! I'm sad the stuff I would listen to to help me sleep well and not stressed is different. Why did you have to change?

2020-09-25	Br*****	Loved the original recording but it is gone and this app has been ruined. New (weird) audios should be optional. This is not what I paid for.
