Good app, great design, bad voice – Calm Review

Update Sept: need new voices. Developers keep promising (over a year now), but nothing. The "newer" meditations use a woman's voice that is terrible. Sharp, poor flow and not relaxing. The original lady's voice was great. Love the app, I really do. Long time user and the major update the did a while back really fixed many performances issue. Content is great as is the design. Best one I've tried when it works. "Pro" subscription adds content which is good (basically new meditation focuses). And they've added new content. My major issue is the new ladies voices. It's not good. Too many inflections, randomly, along with harsh beginnings and endings of syllables. Wildly inconsistent. The inflections are unnecessary and super annoying. What you want in a voice is smooth, even and constant. The original voice was that way. The new material is unusable for me because of the voice. It is a constant "jarring". Additionally, the level of processing is poor in that the voice is more intense and sharp (not softened). You may think it is petty to call this out, but it really is a huge issue for me. I now avoid all of them with her voice. The voice should be complementary not distracting.
