TaoMix 2: Sleep Sounds & Focus for Negative User Reviews
✓ Have i paid a subscription or notI opened app but didnt click on payment but now i not sure whether because i tried the trial of 3 days whether i automatically subscribed and i can find no way of finding this out or stopping any payment I can not afford to pay for this app and i need to know no money is going to be taken from my account and how can I ensure this does not happen. I even scared to delet app from my phone incase money still taken as nothing in app that gives you facility to unsubscribe. Not happy so my anxiety levels through the roof and this not good so instead of helping me made it worse..Version: 2.09.00
✓ Outrageous price for premium - stripped of previously added packs$10.49 a week for premium?!?!?! Are you insane?!?!?!.Version: 2.03.00
✓ It's okayMore free sounds would be wonderful..Version: 2.0.7
✓ All my soundscapes and recording are goneLoved Tao Mix and recorded many unique sounds over the years, loons, frogs, twittering birds at dawn and cicadas. All lost. My favourite escape during migraine attacks now need to rebuild the library and soundscapes so sad..Version: 2.03.00
✓ Auto-pay after trialInstalled it to try it out to see if I liked it. I found out that instead of disabling the app after a week or asking you to pay or delete after the trial period the app forces you to agree to auto-pay at $11 A WEEK. This means if you forget to uninstall this app after the free week trial (because you don’t like or use it) you get automatically dinged $11 each week. Immediately uninstalled the app..Version: 2.05.01
✓ Very poorWhy is my app saying I have to get a subscription.... I paid for this this app already once and I was suppose to get any new updates with that purchase. I want my app back!!!!!.Version: 2.08.00
✓ Another one bites the dustThe packaged sounds are great but what elevates this one above the competition is that you can record and add your own sounds using Audiobus or IAA. Which makes this superb! That was written 3 years ago. Now... Oh sad! The developers have gone to the dreaded subscription model. That’s never a good sign. There have been no additional packs for years and for the longest time I have been unable to upload my own sounds which distinguished this app for the rest of its ilk. Sorry, I’m deducting 4 stars from my original review. It is no longer superb. No doubt there’s a TaoMix3 to follow and TaoMix2 will be left as it is..Version: 2.09.00
✓ Ok appIt's ok. More sounds for free would be good.Version: 2.0.7
✓ Pricing model not worth itVery disappointing that they have switched to the subscription model. The price seems steep on its own per year, and then considering that the previous price to unlock all the sound packs together was under $15... quite the modesty there! Glad that I have purchased the app previously and do not need to subscribe... Given the available sounds and functionality of the app, I don’t believe it fits the subscription model well and would advise against supporting this model. Also, very shady that the previous app version explicitly stated that the purchase includes all future sound packs... still leftover remnants of that left around this update (sloppy). Let’s see if the developers will hold their promise..Version: 2.04.00
✓ All my mixes are goneAfter the update, all of my custom sounds that i uploaded are gone.... and worse yet, i can’t seem to upload them again. Thanks guys..Version: 2.03.00
✓ Waste of money since update!Downloaded and paid for entire app before. Now all of the sounds i had are gone with the new update and they want to charge per month now. Waste of money now. Recommend that you look for another app!.Version: 2.03.00
✓ Synthesiser greatestVery relaxing.Version: 2.09.00
✓ PremiumJe trouve cela aberrant d’avoir payé pour avoir plus de sortes de sons, puis qu’un moment donné on nous enleve la multitudes de sons auxquels on avait droit, sans nous rembourser, pour nous les faire repayer, par mois ou par année. Je comprends que les sons sont bons, mais c’est du vol de faire de cette façon. Je suis insatisfaite..Version: 2.06.00
✓ MisleadingWhere under in-app purchases description does it say $10.49 per WEEK??? Pull your head out of your rear. Deleted immediately after opening the app and seeing that. This app is subscription-based. No thanks!.Version: 2.05.01
✓ They don’t care about their usersI bought this app when it first came out there was no subscriptions back then he’s not for this app. The sound packs were things that you bought for 1.99 or 2.99. and I bought them all I practically only entire app everything was unlocked. Now I can’t even use the app that I invested in because they locked it out and force you to use a subscription. This is not only unfair but bad business and no respect for the users who invested in this app before the subscription. These people should be able to use the app without a subscription..Version: 2.09.00
✓ Why subscription??Loved this app when I paid once and had a library of sounds on my iPod Touch. Went to download it on my iPhone and now it’s asking $65 per YEAR? No thanks. Even if it adds more sounds every year, I’m not paying that much. Too bad you can no longer just purchase set packs of sounds..Version: 2.07.00
✓ Je modifie mon comentaireDepuis la nouvelle mise à jour j’ai perdu mon pack camping payé 1,49 et pour avoir les autres sons maintenant c’est un abonnement. Et excusez moi mais 10,49$ la semaine c’est abusé !!! Ça fait plus de 500$ l’année pour avoir un peu de sons c’est une blague 😳 Toujours très bien pour prendre un moment pour soi ou pour s'endormir..Version: 2.04.01
✓ RESPECT AND GRANDFATHER YOUR LOYAL EXISTING CUSTOMERSFool Me Once—Shame on YOU! Fool Me Twice—Shame on ME! I downloaded the “update” to the original app (which I liked very much) but instead of being rewarded with improvements I was tricked into installing an inferior version of the app that I already had and had paid for. Now the developer is asking me to download another “update” promising fixes to the mess that the previous update created (see other critical reviews). Unless there is DETAILED documentation from the developer on exactly what and how this most recent update will affect the app currently installed on my phone, I’ll be sitting and watching the reviews here to protect myself from further missteps and/or misrepresentations. I don’t want to pay again and again (subscription) for the complete sound options I had paid for once before. I don’t want to be fooled a second time..Version: 2.03.00
✓ Couldn’t have loved this app more, until the updateI’m a long time off and on user. When I needed background sounds, this was my go to. I was super impressed by the set up and options and after having the free version on my phone for several years, purchases the full version several months ago. I couldn’t be more disappointed with the update. Not only have I lost all my long curated soundscapes (one of the best things about this app was being able to customize everything just so), I have lost all the unlocked sounds. To add insult to injury, this is now apparently a subscription service, at 8 dollars a week??? Not only is the price extortionate, the lack of loyalty to their users is appalling. I couldn’t be more disappointed. I’m so sad to say I’ve lost faith today in good apps in general. Who knows when the program owners will turn? What a shame. An absolute shame..Version: 2.03.00
✓ Peu de choixLe principe Est bien toutefois plutôt décevant de devoir payer un somme pour avoir accès à plus qu’un son..Version: 2.03.00
✓ Latest update comes with a cost - literallyI’ve been using this app for well over a year now, and it’s served me well. There has always been a one-time purchase to buy certain sound packs, but now for some reason they’re adding a WEEKLY subscription that you must pay to even use the app. People who bought the additional soundpacks prior to this update are not being compensated, so if you ever spent on this app and you don’t pay the subscription, your money is down the drain. As far as I know, there aren’t any other added benefits to buying the subscription and there weren’t any other features or “optimizations” added. The latest update also seems to be very glitchy, removing settings and not allowing users to restore purchases. I guess I’ll have to switch to TaoMix 1.Version: 2.03.00
✓ BaaaadU can’t just make it without money u want just your money whatever.Version: 2.06.00
✓ VERY UPSET with latest updateI absolutely loved this app Used it to capture amazing moments in time (kayaking Chile islands, final purrs of my 18yr cat) Then they were all wiped from existence with seemingly no way to retrieve them Why did this happen?.Version: 2.02.01
✓ Fun for a while but boredom soon sets in. Not worth £36 per yearI was too hasty in subscribing to this. Seemed like a good idea at the time to commit to £36 per year for this nice selection of sounds but I quickly got bored and returned to playing music to relax and nap with. Subscription cancelled and lesson learned to resist the impulse to purchase novelty items. 1 star would be too harsh though as I did enjoy it for a week or 2..Version: 2.10.02
✓ Have to pay premium??? What is this dictatorship mate 😂😂😂When we first download app it recommends premium in the introduction. In fact, it recommends it so much that we aren’t able to even exit this page until we buy the premium🤔. I have read comments and you have replied saying it is optional however there is no way to exit this subscription page. 1 star for now, improve this I’ll move it up to a much higher rating. Excited on being able to use this app 😁.Version: 2.05.01
✓ Exploitative business modelI purchased a bunch of sound packs for version 1. Version 2 update was forced upon me - I was quite happy with functionality of version 1. Version 2 was deployed without ability to restore my previous purchases. Version 2 forces a subscription model. I don’t have a problem with devs moving to subscription model as such, however doing it in such a way which forces users to repay for already purchased functionality is unethical at best. If the functionality to restore purchased functionality was “not ready”, then the release schedule should have been pushed back. From a customers perspective - what do you expect me to do? (a) loose access to stuff I have already paid for until some undetermined time in the future, or (b) pay for something that I was already purchased? Suggest you fix this situation and consider how you balance the importance of customer goodwill versus short term financial gain..Version: 2.05.00
✓ $80 a year? Seriously?And get this: that’s the *only* subscription option. No monthly or three month, etc. I was a huge fan of Taomix back when they allowed single pack purchases; I saw they responded to another comment that their new model allows more improvements... which would be fair if they at least broke up the subscription periods to something less than a year. I’m sorry to say it, but this really amounts to nothing but greed. I would gladly change my review to 4 or 5 stars if the developer would re-add pack purchases, or at the very minimum, have a reasonable subscription scheme..Version: 2.05.01
✓ Update: Deleted Mixes2019 Edit: A recent update deleted all of the data, all of my packs had to be redownloaded and all my soundscapes are gone. Considering the amount of time it took to create them, not to mention how much I paid for this app, I’m extremely frustrated. Contacting “support” was also very unhelpful. I use to use this app daily, but now I’m very reluctant to bother creating any more mixes. ——— Really good app! I'm still getting used to mixing my own music but there so many customisation options and that's what makes it amazing. I'd like it if it were a little more visually pleasing. For example if I could upload a simple picture to fit with each specific track to differentiate them a bit, and an easier picker menu as scrolling through all the ones I've created can get a little tedious. But overall it's great!.Version: 2.03.00
✓ Won’t let me restore purchasesI got a new phone and it won’t let me restore my purchase that I bought before they went to subscription. Clicked on the help email and it told me I had to configure my email account..Version: 2.07.00
✓ Love the free version but £7.50 per week for premium?!!Are you mad? That's insane. I'd love to give you £20/£30 for more sounds but £7.50 per week is just insane! This is literally one of my first proper reviews ever.... Surely there are other options you can offer here...can't just provide a subscription and that's it... Lovely app in general and nice use of features on free version. So thanks for that, want to support you further though!.Version: 2.03.00
✓ Not even usableWhen I open the app the home screen just keeps loading forever I can’t even use the app.Version: 2.10.02
✓ $8/week or $40/year??!!??I love this app. It’s one of the best atmospheric apps on the App Store. This subscription pricing is insane and the subscription model for an app like this really doesn’t make sense. Maybe if it were a few bucks a month I might be interested as the developers should be able to make money; but I thought buying packs was fair already. The pricing of $8 a week, $20 a month or $40 a year? Well since you only get the content while you are subscribed, I guess $40 a year is what they really want you to do; which tells me they don’t have confidence the subscription plan will work. You offer a nice discount for paying a year in advance but $200???? Something is up and with pricing like that I refuse to trust them further. I may continue to use the app but I’ll keep my eye open for another. I wouldn’t suggest subscribing at this pricing level period. It’s a well made app, but not all apps need to be subscription. There will never be enough new nature sounds to justify..Version: 2.03.00
✓ Used to be good, has turned to trashUsed to be a great app, but was sold in Dec 2018 and now has a user-hostile UI to trick people into expensive subscriptions. They don’t honour previous purchases either, the ‘Restore Your Purchases’ button doesn’t even do anything, meaning I can no longer access sounds I previously paid for. Trash..Version: 2.06.00
✓ Not even usable unless you subscribe?.....Version: 2.06.00
✓ Love the free portion of the app paid is a RIP OFFI have been using this app for a couple years now and love it. The limited free items available are fantastic and I have been thinking of upgrading to the paid version which I thought was only $5.99 or near that range. I don’t remember this from before the recent update but now they charge $7.99 PER WEEK for the paid version. This in my opinion is an absolute rip off and a disappointment. Needless to say, at that greedy price I will never upgrade. Bad move, Tao Mix..Version: 2.03.00
✓ Not freeNot free. 99.9% of content is lock behind a nasty paywall. This should cost 10-20 dollars forever, not $10 a week. Whoever developed this, honestly ask yourself if you would actually pay this amount. If not, then you’re really doing something unethical here. I’ve read all the review. Don’t answer me with one of your stupid copy and paste replies or excuses..Version: 2.06.00
✓ DéçuCela fait une année que je l’utilisais et j’ai tout perdue mes musiques que je m’étais fait. Tout ce que j’avais acheté est partis en fumé....je m’endormais avec l’application tout les nuits.... je suis fâché et déçu!.Version: 2.02.00
✓ They take your moneyI don’t like the fact that I purchased sounds and music. Now when I go into the app I can’t play what I purchased because the app wants you to join a subscription and you can’t go any further. Very unethical..Version: 2.06.00
✓ OverpricedI great app but subscription price is beyond acceptable. A comparison, the weekly charge of $11.99 is the same price you would pay for a major streaming service per month! I can’t under why the creators would think such a grossly overpriced subscription plan would be helpful in getting people onboard..Version: 2.06.00
✓ Scam AppDownloaded “free “ trial version and then it informs me I have 3 days to cancel or they will bill me. But I can find no way to cancel. Does Apple not check this at all, now it’s repeatedly asking for my password..Version: 2.06.00
✓ GarbageThis app is garbage. You can’t even trial it. They give you “7 days free” but need your CC information first. Sorry, I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone..Version: 2.06.00
✓ Subscription prices!?!The developer responds the same way to each reviewer who has a problem with the new subscription model... That the “subscription will allow further development of TaoMix”. Seriously... at $7.99 a month, which is the default subscription... this app better do a HELL of a lot more than it does now! I didn’t use the app too often. Usually while on travel at a noisy hotel but I’m seriously considering deleting the “limited” version if this is the type of app this has become..Version: 2.04.01
✓ I don’t like.This app was great before they changed to a subscription model. If you were lucky to have bought the $6 IAP before the change, the restore function doesn’t work, and the premium sounds aren’t available offline. I decided to delete this app, as it isn’t worth $7-$8 a WEEK. I will take my business elsewhere. There was/is a $6 non subscription IAP to get all sounds. However, there’s also an $8/week subscription with the newest update. Deleted some custom scenes, and had forced me to restore purchases. Had to check my Apple ID to see if I hadn’t inadvertently subbed to these people. Thankfully, I wasn’t. Recreated one scene, and now I’m wary of these developers. You should be to, cuz that’s $8 a WEEK. If you’re that desperate for money, make it $15/month or $80/year and grandfather in the people who bought the $6 IAP to unlock everything. Not that pay per week nonsense..Version: 2.03.00
✓ Too expensive!I refuse to pay $40/month. Way too expensive!.Version: 2.06.00
✓ A huge rip off. Stole £100s off me and won’t refund.Selected me for subscription when I hadn’t requested or authorized it, thus I had no reason to check my subscriptions, a year or so later and I found it by mistake. This app team and Apple blocked further communication after they sent me a unauthorized refund of only a few pounds. I was also ill during the period and with disabilities had a hard enough time just managing normal daily activities..Version: 2.07.00
✓ New premium featureI am disappointed that, after spending money to get all of the soundtracks I now have to pay even more money again to get them with the new premium feature. I just feel like I have wasted money on something that I now cannot access..Version: 2.03.00
✓ Ridiculous subscription priceI’ve had this app for a while now and love the features. I had even purchased some of the sounds. Now I am no longer able to access the app at all without a subscription of more than £7 a week. I am very very disappointed and will look for a different app with similar features and I recommend everybody does the same until this issue is resolved..Version: 2.05.00
✓ £7.50 a week.... uhuh....The pricing it wants to sign you up to before trying anything about the app is impressive in it’s audacity and the level of disrespect shown to the app’s current and potential audience. Nothing shown in the promotional materials could ever respectably demand that price, you’re better off looking for other apps like myNoise instead that respect the user’s time and money..Version: 2.06.00
✓ “Free”Ya this ain’t free it’s $10.50 per WEEK lmao. You seriously expect people to drop $520 per year on this app? This is nothing more than a cash grab for the stupid. “We’re going to use the money to improve the app” Netflix charges $10 a MONTH for access to all the movies and tv shows you could watch but a white noise app needs 4-5x that amount for an app that’s already complete?? The greed is real. DO NOT DOWNLOAD.Version: 2.05.01
✓ Was goodSubscription are you kidding me, uninstalled.Version: 2.04.01
✓ What happened??? Such a shame...UPDATE: a new version out today, 28 Jan 18, but still no sign of the annihilated soundscapes. The developer keeps telling people how to restore sound_packs_ knowing full well that isn’t the main issue. People, I think our soundscapes are gone for good, and no amount of distraction from the dev is going to bring them back. The least they could do is be clear about all this! Well, that’s me out of here. I suppose they won’t be too bothered anyway as I paid for all the soundpacks last year. This was a fantastic app, one of my favourite. Then a recent update annihilated the many soundscapes I’d spent tons of time creating and tweaking over the months - pieces of audio that had come to mean a lot to me. I really don’t understand how the developer could allow this to happen. The app had always seemed lovingly and carefully designed to me. And to discover that the new subscription pricing is $7.99 just beggars belief. By all means charge for a good product, but that’s just so way out. Especially in light of this recent disastrous update. Anyway, I’m sad to say I doubt I’ll be using the app any more given that I can no longer rely on it. I can only hope there’s something similar out there....Version: 2.04.00
✓ Not working any moreI used to enjoy going to sleep with this app every night But all of a sudden it deleted my entire playlist When trying to rebuild from scratch it keeps crashin and kicking me out, and deletes all of todays contents Unhappy with recent changes.Version: 2.01.00
✓ Now have to pay to access sounds I had beforeI no longer have access to the sounds I previously did and must pay 10$/week to subscribe to an app for which I already purchased access to “all current and future sound packs.” No option to honour that initial purchase of all sound packs, only to subscribe to the premium service. I am a student with limited disposable income and 10$/week is well outside my budget. Very frustrating..Version: 2.05.01
✓ WTHHI used to love (and I mean LOVE-ed) this app but someone got greedy. I think I paid like maybe under $10 (can’t remember exactly) one time fee to unlock the premium sounds. Which was reasonable considering the quality. I took a hiatus from using it due to life issues etc. I was having trouble sleeping and thought it might help only to discover that now they want 8.99 a WEEK!!! That’s insane. I cannot imagine they will make money on it with their outrageous new pricing. Apparently you can contact them to get some access restored based on previous posts, but what a hassle. Last night I just wanted to use that app I paid for not search through a bunch of reviews to try to find out who I need to e-mail and then wait for their responses to discover what other inconvenient steps I will need to go through to get it working again. DELETE....Version: 2.05.01
✓ To expensive.This should be 10 bucks for the app, not 10 bucks per week. Loved the first Version..Version: 2.05.01
✓ $11.00 a week?!That’s insane! And I can’t try it out without signing up? No thanks..Version: 2.05.01
✓ I’m now disappointedI was a user for this app for a while, and by that I mean before this “premium” feature was added, I rightfully payed for all of the sounds and I was very happy with what I got, unfortunately I had to delete the app because I was experiencing glitches, and it stayed deleted for a while, now I come back with this premium feature and unable to get my old stuff back! I cannot restore my purchase and it makes me upset that I won’t be able to enjoy this app as I used to..Version: 2.07.00
