✓ This is July 3, 2020 and the app does not work.The app was last updated in 2015. There’s a number of features that do not work. On several screens you can’t press the “done” button to close the screen. On the share button a window pops up that is gobbledygook and ghost images. You can’t select a recipient to share and you can’t close the window. For these features it is only possible to close and reopen the application.I tried to fix these problems by deleting and reinstalling the application and restarting my iPhone. However you can use the application, create and save new mixers and load a mix you’ve saved however you can’t close the window on the “SAVE” screen so you can only do that once then you’ll have to close and restart the application. I tried to send the developer an email using the email address that is shown on this page but my email was rejected because it said I didn’t have access. So you can’t contact the developer..TmssacVersion: 4.1

✓ It's stopped working :(Iv been using this app for years and love it, in fact Iv become quite reliant on it to help me get back to sleep when I wake through the nite. The problem is the sound has stopped on it now. There is no problem with sound in any other app I have, but there is no sound from this one! :( is anyone else having this issue?.GfcggjjvVersion: 3.1

✓ Excellent sleep aid, needs workI have serious insomnia, so I use this with a custom mix to help get to sleep at night. And it helps, a lot. Overall, it's very good, the loop tracks are excellent, but the UI needs serious work and upgrade. Developer has not updated in almost 18 months now and is unresponsive to feedback. For these items I deducted 2 stars. Suggestions/Complaints: • The UI is very confusing, it needs to be simplified. Some of the settings should be in a Settings panel and the App currently has none. The mix panel seems to appear and disappear for mysterious reasons, perhaps because the App needs to updated for iOS 10. • App appears to assume all sleep activity is preplanned, which is ridiculous, if I take an impromptu nap in the afternoon, it takes minutes for me to trick the App into engaging. • Some of the clock screens are nice, but most are mediocre or just silly. The developer can do much better, trust me, I used to do UI work for a living. • Six weeks or so ago I asked the developer to consider a tvOS version (and so far no response), I encourage others to do the same. If I need to nap in the family room, I'd like my Apple TV to handle the sound and display. All that being said, this seems to be the best or a top sleep App in the store. In many ways, this App has what the Bedtime feature of the Clock App needs, and vice versa (hint to developers and Apple)..TonkiniteVersion: 4.1

✓ It used to be a great appI’m really disappointed that I have to write this review because this used to be a great app. However, the last updat was 4 years ago and there is previous functionality that no longer works. For example, if you want to set an alarm you cannot go back to the main screen. The “back” hyperlink no longer works. So no longer can you use this app as an alarm clock with the time showing. I’ve contacted them and complained about this issue with no response at all. There must be better solutions in the marketplace now. I will be searching for them soon..JpatrowiczVersion: 4.1

✓ Used to be better!I used to give this a 5 star rating. It was perfect. Now I think I’ve used this 2x in the past 3 years. The sounds offered are great and this app does help me fall asleep and the alarm was perfect fade in and out to wake me up pleasantly. Then they updated and the alarm doesn’t work anymore unless you have the app running on the screen(killing your battery life), with your ringer ON and Do Not Disturb mode must NOT be on. As someone who reads on my phone before bed and also receives texts & calls late at night but doesn’t want them to bother me, I use Do Not Disturb mode to it full potential- which means I cannot use this app to its full potential. As such I’ve found a new app to help me sleep and wake up. Bring back the old alarm method and I’ll start using this app again and change my rating - it’s too bad this USED to be great!.Shindo79Version: 4.1

✓ Not much better than the free versionI really enjoyed the free version so I thought I would get more from the paid version.I was surprised to find that there was very little difference..BadboydsterVersion: 3.1

✓ New glitchesI have loved this app and in the past when I have questions I received a response within 24 hours that resolve the issue. Now I have a new problem with it and I am not sure if it is because of an update on my phone or an update with the app, but my emails have not been answered after a week or two. I am very disappointed and at the current time cannot use my app for an alarm or to schedule sleep sounds to go off after a certain amount of time like I used to be able to. Hoping things get better soon..LagonaveboundVersion: 4.1

✓ Please fix this alreadyCan you please fix this app? It hasn't been useable since the iOS update. It's so frustrating having to have gone without this for months now..Gill242424Version: 3.1

✓ Annoying Bug, but all round good appThis has loads of great sounds and is worth the full price if you have some iTunes credit going spare. Annoying part is there are three volume sliders to mix your choice of sounds to the preferred levels, but iPod integration is poor. The music level piggybacks on the iPhones main volume control, making it pretty impossible to mix your iPod music with other sounds decently. I hope they fix this bug, then it would be near enough perfect!.ThisIsPadawanVersion: 3.1

✓ GreatFantastic app, the only downside is that it has stopped working since I upgraded to ios9..Jimmyjames8787Version: 3.1

✓ Update equals constant crashesThis used to be a great app. Had used it for years, ever since the update however it is constantly crashing which ends up waking me up because it's too quiet into the room. Very disappointing, contacted customer service, they never bothered to reply. Basically useless to me now. If you managed to not get the last update, DON'T, it also erases your favourites, which double sucked for me because it ended up that it updated right when I was going to bed an I not only had to wait for it to finish nit also had to find all my sound combos again while exhausted and frustrated..TrilliankVersion: 4.1

✓ Great app - horrible updateI've used this app for years and it's been great. This recent update has been terrible. I use this on my dedicated iPhone 5 and since the update about 2-3 hours into sleeping the app does this click thing constantly. I've tried to close the app and re-open but that doesn't work. I have to completely reboot my phone in order to reset the app. It then works again for a couple hours until it does it again. I find myself rebooting my phone usually twice every night, disrupting my peaceful sleep. This kinda defeats the purpose of the app. I hope the developer fixes this problem..StuartxoxoVersion: 4.1

✓ I love this app.Are use it all the time. It’s a fabulous see you made up great quality everything about it is great the only thing that I have to complain about is, the developer has not updated the app in over 2 1/2 years. Just stick with the light out and don’t bother the professional version in my opinion because the pro version is never monitored or updated and is a waste of money..Ryandd7Version: 4.1

✓ Doesnt work with ios9Great app. My favourite of all the sleep apps. You can therefore understand why I am devastated that it doesn't work with ios9. I keep stalking the updates and have downloaded it several times with no luck. Using relax m instead which out of all the others offered the most comparable options/sounds but is still not even close to matching the awesomeness of this app. Please fix the ios9 problems!!!.BetaariaVersion: 3.1

✓ Why is this not working?!I have used the app for years with no issues and now nothing works on it. No noise for any of the different sounds even when pressing play on the noise even though the noise used to come though as soon as the app was opened without having to do that. I have contacted the app designer via feedback on the app and still no response! Don't waste your money! What was once amazing is now useless!.Arfb12Version: 3.1

✓ Defunct appDeveloper hasn't updated in 4 years and no longer works properly with latest iOS versions. On mine this thing does something in the background that consumes my battery really quickly - phone even gets warm when using it..DieterkevVersion: 3.1

✓ Useless alarmAlarm function does not work if phone powers down which means this component is entirely useless. Would also have thought the sounds would contain more music and less white noise..Shassa2004Version: 3.1

✓ Downloaded update - and Presto, it does NOT work anymoreIn an attempt to solve the issue, I deleted it and then tried to download again from cloud. However, the app was no longer listed under my purchased apps... Under on this iPhone/ iPad. Ended up having to buy the app again, and sure enough the configuration is all phucked up and does not work on my iPad. Pos.Just Call SaulVersion: 4.1
