Calm

I have used Calm going on two years to help me relax & fall asleep. It works much better than pills without the side effects! I wouldn’t be without it.

I’m surprised that Calm doesn’t have free trial. I tried Headspace and Calm both at the same time. In my opinion, Headspace is much better in terms of the interface design and app contents. I purchased Calm’s annual plan by mistake when I wrongly assumed it comes with free trial. A waste of money.

The calmest place in the world

If you have had a bad day you will not retreat calm I promise. In 5 to 10 minutes you will drift off into wonderland and dream the best dream.

So helpful for tinnitus, headaches, anxiety post concussion

LT1926825

I’ve suffered from tinnitus (ringing in my ears), migraines, and anxiety since a concussion several years ago. I never pay for apps, but the Calm App is so helpful that, after paying for 1 year, I’ve decided to pay for a lifetime membership. I love that I can choose to listen to a male, as many female voices increase my symptoms. It’s wonderful to have such a vast choice of categories to turn to. I love the 4 to 7 day training sessions for things like decreasing pain, decreasing anxiety, decreasing headaches, and falling asleep. When my tinnitus is bad, I use one of the sleep meditations to help overpower the sound and allow ne to fall asleep. When I have a headache, I lie down and listen to a calming meditation, and the headache resolves, or at least decreases. These guided meditations really help soothe my anxiety. The different daily meditations help teach what to do for various issues, and you can save the ones you especially like. I highly recommend the 30 day Intro to Meditating, as it helps you become adept at meditation. This app is so worth getting!

Best bedfellow

I’ve been a subscriber for over five years and I’ve seen this app grow and expand so beautifully. I don’t know what I would do without Calm, there is rarely a night when I don’t listen to a sleep story. Keep up the great work!!!

Cannot access anything without agreeing to pay $70 at the end of a week

I cannot stand apps like this. I’m scrolling FB at night because I can’t sleep. This ad shows up and ropes you in. Download it and find out the only way you can access ANYTHING is if you agree to a trial and then $70 a year. The entire purpose of apps doing this is because most people forget about what day they have to cancel it by. No, thank you. I’m not agreeing to anything (7 day trial or not) without even being able to use it ONCE first. Extremely disappointing and now it’s 4am and I wasted a good 20-ish mins with this.

Leaves a lot to desire

Not at all what I expected. I find much better sounds to sleep through Alexa or through free videos on YouTube. Frankly, I don’t like it all and regret I wasted money.

I like it but……….

mikethehousekey123

Ok so to start off I like it but I can barely even use anything. I was trying to do the 7 day sleep meditation but I can only do the first day and I had to repeat the first day over and over and over. All because I didn’t have the premium and the premium is $70 a year. I didn’t want to get it because that would waste my money but everything is locked for premium. So here is what I am thinking that you should do I think you should make it 50/50. Like 50% of the stuff that is locked for the premium and make it not premium so it can be fair to those who don’t have the premium and to those who have it. Now let’s talk about the price we should make it reasonable enough to get and instead of $70 let’s make it 35 dollars so it can be fair and people would be happy if they had the premium or not because they get a reasonable price and they get to use many of the meditations if they have it and if they don’t. Sorry if this was confusing but I want it to be fair because the price and the amount of meditations that you can use without the premium wasn’t fair so I wanted to make it reasonable and fair. So now I want to hear what you have to say because there are many other people that might agree with me but I am wondering if you do too

Terrible offline functionality

Teradyl

Every time I start a sleep story it immediately downloads 30 mins of the track, and then stops. WHY NOT DOWNLOAD THE ENTIRE THING?!?! This means that if I lose service or put my phone on airplane mode (which helps to make sure you really don’t get bothered) the end of the story doesn’t work. Now you’d think the download button would work but NO IT DOESNT. Even if I press the download button after starting the story it doesn’t work unless I stop the story entirely and restart it…only THEN does it have the end downloaded (not what I want to do when trying to go to sleep). One year ago I got this app and thought eh they’ll fix this. STILL HAVENT FIXED IT. I’m done with Calm, going to headspace if this isn’t fixed soon.

Crashes
