Treating your insomnia is one thing but getting your restless kids to bed is a whole different ball game. A good bedtime story is the tried and tested solution but, if you don't always have time for it, Calm can help both you and your restless kids to hit the bed. more

Moving to a new location where you have to adapt to the new weather is stressful. It could take you more than 2 weeks to adapt, and along with it are sleepless nights where you just couldn’t find those Zzzzs. Calm is one of the apps that can help you adapt easily. more

Life won't always be a bed of roses. When you're on call 9-5 every day, 7 days a week, you've got to take out time to attend to your mental health. Your mind is as important as the body and needs all the mental support it can get. This will help. more

By you crossed the line

Calm has always been a good app. As they grew, so did frustrating tech issues but they seem to have solved those and have added to their programs. It’s as if they have beautifully sculpted the app with time. I really appreciate the choices given when I open Calm. Sometimes I need a moving meditation. Sometimes I need the wisdom Sometimes a little humor and sometimes only Tamara’s calming voice will do. I really appreciate the meditating sounds of soft rain or a washing machine or waves ebbing & flowing. But my very tough Working K9 will only calm when going through his annual vet visit with blood tests and shots and such to Baby Shhh and it works every time. So I guess if Calms me and my dog, I have to give it five stars. I love the breathing part. I use it almost daily. Not a fan of the music but the sleep stories are the best and I love that I can use the search bar and find one of my favorites I may be in the mood for such as a dream over Paris or the history of the Library at Oxford or the train stories. Also the narrators offer excellent choices and their are certain ones whom I just need to hear at hard times because their soft melodic gift of storytelling puts me right out. I really appreciate the variety. I have had the Calm app I believe since not long after it launched and as others have come and gone and Calm has had its own growing pains, it’s the one with which I remain. So, thanks Calm, from my Tough Dog and I both. more

Good content but not a very good app. The home screen content seems random. You would assume that if I've been doing a particular mediation course everyday that the next session of that would be there at the top ready to go each day, but it is not present at all and there are other things. You can favorite things, but navigating around the app and searching for stuff is confusing. So far I've enjoyed most of what I've heard, but the user experience is sub par considering their subscription cost more

Felix has a stunning, soothing, and low pitched voice. He should be added because a lot of people love his voice. And it could amplify the app's popularity among stays. It's a good idea. But it's not necessary. If your app is a voice-over, then you should use the same pitch as the voice, or even a lower one. The same goes for the text. A Felix has a stunning, soothing, and low pitched voice. He should be added because a lot of people love his voice. And it could amplify the app's popularity. Felix gets a load of support. If Felix's voice can help a 10 year old with autism calm down, it can help your users too. So it's good to have him. You can even add a Felix to your text messages if it helps your customers. This is an excellent idea and one that I've seen in a few places. I like this idea, because Felix has a stunning, soothing, and low pitched voice. He should be added because a lot of people love his voice. And it could amplify the app's popularity. Felix gets a load of support. If Felix's voice can help a 10 year old with autism calm down, it can help your users too. We have a ton of users that love Felix. His voice is amazing. That's why we'll be adding him to the list. Maybe you want to add Felix because he has this video series that is intended for people who can’t sleep. more
Great app, use it every night Oct 4, 2021

I love the Calm app! I stumbled upon a television commercial about it a few years ago and decided to give it a try. I have had trouble falling asleep for years, and was honestly skeptical that an app would put me to sleep. Boy was I wrong! I love the different options - sleep stories, music, meditation - each one is interesting, and while I can’t say I’ve managed to get to end of a story…well that’s the point. I’m out within five minutes. I’ve read some reviews about the expense - here’s the thing - what is your sleep and a relaxed mindset worth to you? Divide that annual cost by 365 and you’re paying a pittance for your health. Check back around the holidays - the makers of Calm run specials sometimes that make it even more worthwhile. I had just renewed my annual fee two summers ago, when an end of year special came around. It was a lifetime subscription that was going to save hundreds of dollars over the years. I knew I wouldn’t get the remainder of my annual fee (8 months left) refunded if I jumped on the lifetime subscription, but it was still worth the jump. This is a must have app. *App makers - please put the sleep check-in back! With the latest update it is gone, and it was something that really helped understanding factors that affect sleep. more
Why did I get the subscription? May 23, 2022

I’m a 41 year old male who has struggled with OCD and panic since age 6. I’ve gone through the doctors and medications. I thought I knew everything about diaphragmatic breathing, as it has been drilled into my head over the years. A couple weeks ago, my heart rate shot up. For the first time in my life, I was confident it wasn’t a panic attack and actually a heart attack. I stumbled out my apartment door, sweat dripping down my face and the few clothes covering my body. I dropped my phone on the way down the stairs but happened to call 911 right beforehand. Medics arrived. After about 10 minutes, they knew and I knew it was panic. I went back upstairs and started searching for every app I could think of. I found calm. I tried the first 7 days and was hooked. Some may think… well I don’t have panic or OCD. It’s not for me. It’s so much more than that. I listened to a series by Lebron James that was amazing. There are different breathing techniques and meditations for sleep, work, anxiety, movement… etc… I know I’ve said a lot and probably more than anyone needs. If I would have had the Calm app a few weeks ago during the worst panic attack of my life, I probably wouldn’t have had to call 911. At least try the trial. It’s very much worth it. more

I really think this app is too expensive. I mostly use it for sleep stories lately but have used the meditation in the past and while I think it's a great tool, there really should be more features included when it's so GD expensive. One main frustration I have is that you can't make a playlist for sleep stories. I can try to find the longest story but it will still quit before the story is done most of the time. Please add this feature, I think it's a pretty simple ask when I'm paying $70. more
Great App-Needs a few little tweaks Mar 22, 2022

By JoyfulBookDragon

Calm has great stories, meditations and more. I love it and have the full version. I love Anna Acton, Eric Braa, and other soothing voices. Some of them, however, are just a bit...jarring. I know everyone has different tastes but I like to listen to voices directing me during meditation or towards sleep that don’t jump out at me. Please, Calm, add more voices like Eduardo Ballerini, Ramon Tikaram, Chiké Okonkwo, May Charters and Jerome Flynn. Cillian Murphy is a great guest sleep story teller but please don’t just use celebrities because of name value. They don’t all make good storytellers/meditation guides. Some write the stories and I am grateful to those who come up with such wonderful sleep stories for adults. The ones that travel back in time, especially aboard old trains are outstanding! Just curate the voices a little better because some of us are too sensitive to the nuances of voice to listen to many of the meditations/stories. That’s kind of a waste. I end up listening to the same ones over and over. Please make the sleep stories at least 35 minutes, too. For those of us who need longer to drift away. Finally, since you are now making playlists, how about one that is just long train stories? Thanks so much! more
Sleep, anxiety, & life saver all in one app May 24, 2020

By CaylieHan

Honestly, I had come to a point in my life where I insomnia and anxiety were at an all time high , I was on anxiety meds, sleep meds, anything they could do to try & get my anxiety and insomnia under control & even when the pills weren’t really helping, I decided to try this app out because even doctors had recommend it, while yes- price tag can seem like a lot, BUT I used this one night while my anxiety was setting in and I was asleep half way through the sleep story and when I woke in the morning I was in disbelief. Nothing, I mean nothing had helped me until I found this app. The meditation & sleep stories are amazing. I am so grateful for this app. Now, the only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars would be due to a recommend I have for the creators, they should create a watch or something that can track your sleep & in the morning provide meditations, music, sleep stories that reflected how you slept the night before. For example, if someone woke up a lot, or of people were waking up frequently and having a hard time going back to sleep & maybe making suggestions for a meditation they could choose that one as more personal, or for anxiety with sleep or sleeplessness, things like that. I don’t know that would be my only recommendation, but overall and amazing app that’s worth the price. more

Dear calm, I have had your app since my middle school years. I’ve got to say, your app was AMAZING with 15 sleep stories and 2 and 1/2 meditations, this wasn’t a problem for me because I also use headspace. Yes, they're your competition but I wasn't choosing sides. Anyways, over time you guys added feature that you really focused on for 2 weeks at a time and just gave up on it. Next, you decreased the amount of sleep stories which was ha a huge problem for me because I was NOT getting enough sleep to keep my grades up. It got so bad that I stole my mother's phone just to sleep (she Had the Premium subscription). So I was like, ”ok, I'll just use headspace ONLY for sleep and calm for meditation. Then, you took away the 7 days of calm AKA: YOUR MAIN TRIAL AND ONLY TRIAL MEDITATION LEFT after you premiumfied the 7 days of something (forgot). I mean like BRU, I have other options. I started using headspace which is a great alternative if you don't have much money. I recommend bringing back some stuff from premium and reduce the price. To counteract this, put one 15 second ad at the beginning. Of every session of meditation for people without premium. Therefore, there is more than one reason to get it and it's CHEAPER. That's a win-win situation. I hope you come to the right decision. Whatever it is, I probably wouldn't stop using the app. Thank you for your time. more

The only thing I don't like is you can't watch in landscape mode. I'm an epileptic always looking for ways to help my brain. The songs alone are fantastic. All deferent types of meditation for all levels. The calming and sleep songs and meditations are second to none. Thank you so much for your research and help. Don't think I'll ever unsubscribe. more

By LYNETTE S PUGH

Until it came time to renew!!!!!! I chose the monthly rate, because for some unknown reason my phone would go wonky when I sometimes used the app. But I didnt want to discard it completely. So unbeknownst to me, after I paid for the month, 3:15 am I am informed my account has been overdrawn!!!!! It was overdrafted by$75! They took the payment for the year, without my consent. So essentially theyve been paid twice! The person that emailed me seemed to think maybe I was too upset. more

Downloaded to hear more "brown noise" that was advertised on a tv commercial, since the app was free.. but once I opened it, before showing me anything about how it might work, it asks me to subscribe to a $69.99 annual subscription. When I click close on that screen another opens to offer me "today only", 40% of at $41.99. As near as I can tell only one sound is available without paying for their subscription. Bait and switch. Free app, but you have to pay a subscription fee to try and use it. more

I've had this app for years and have loved the free options. There are certain ones I listen to when I sleep or meditate. I recently upgraded my phone and in so doing have learned that there are no free options anymore. Very frustrating, & poor service as they won't fix it. I had to go on my old phone, change downloaded pieces to ogg files, save them in my music folder, and transfer to my new phone that way. But I won't be using Calm anymore. 🙄 more

Purchased this app year ago believing I'd be able to cancel at anytime by going in Subscriptions on Google Play. Purchased it, I didn't like it. Went to the place I was instructed to cancel. It most definitely APPEARED TO CANCEL. It did not. Noticed a large withdrawal today for this app which I simply CANNOT AFFORD. Which shouldn't have happened. Now I cannot figure out how to cancel something that has already been cancelled but really isn't. Now I get to decide who gets to eat today? Nice! THX! more
App is in accessible for blind user, buttons unlabeled Apr 29, 2021

By Apelli0727

Hello, I really like the content on your app and it has really helped me to develop my practice. However because of the issues described in the title I probably will no longer subscribe to calm next year. I am blind, and use the screen reader voiceover. I can play the videos for the content well enough with play pause, fastforward but the biggest barrier I am facing is that the mountains which you tap on in the for you tab to bring up the settings are unlabeled. I was trying to turn off the babbling Brook sound, accessible apps need to have text labels to accompany any clickable items. I would love to resubscribe once you have resolved these issues, buttons for the mood check-in feature are also unlabeled or nonexistent. The box breathing technique does not speak anything aloud or refresh on its own. A better way to accomplish that might be to use a metronome with 44 times signature. I am happy to speak to a developer more about my feedback and suggestions for how to resolve these issues, but I think that especially since healthcare providers are starting to recommend your service to their users, many of them who use Medicaid and Medicare and are disabled the app absolutely should be more accessible. Thank you for your timely consideration and namaste. I look forward to working with you in making the meditation community more inclusive. more

Don't fall for their "Free Trial" Subscription. They won't send you a reminder email (as promised), and you'll find it extremely hard to actually cancel this subscription (before they charge your card), on both Google Play or their website. Two thumbs down for a bait and switch technique that shouldn't be needed if the product was worth it --- It's not. I rate this app at LESS THAN one star (not worth it) -- more

I've used this app for years, and I'll never use it again. There used to be a lot of free soundscapes and sleep stories. But suddenly the soundscapes I've been listening to for over a year without the subscription are all behind a pay wall when they weren't yesterday. I'm disgusted at the dev team for reducing free access so much. Having to pay for new content is one thing, but to remove access to old content is underhanded. more

I used this app a couple of years ago or so and thought I would try it again since I've been having trouble sleeping. I almost cried no joke when I realized my saved nature sounds were now only accessable via paid subscription. Guess it's back to Spotify. Clips this generic should be part of the free version. Disappointed is an understatement. more
Dec 23, 2022

By Jacob Behring

"Free 3 month trial" false advertising, not even one where you can cancel after the 3 months. You literally have to buy a whole year and you get 3 months off, you still have to pay them for a service you have no idea how it is. That isn't a trail, you see a trail is when you let people try your service to see if they want it, really scummy tactic more
Dec 22, 2022

By J

Not worth it. I had the paid version for awhile (2 years) and the daily meditations were nice but not worth the price. Some sleep sounds were always free if you didn't have a subscription, but suddenly all the free ones locked. There is literally nothing free on the app at all now. Deleting. more

The best way to calm anxiety Mar 2, 2022

By Cudnakshiesnjxixisjjeuduufu

I’m a 19 y/o college student that suffers from an anxiety disorder. I feel anxious most of the time and when things to actually feel anxious about present themselves it can be absolutely debilitating for me physically and emotionally. However calm allows me to find hope in my current predicaments, and is amazing at calming me down. I really enjoy the soundscapes and meditation but my favorite thing is definitely the sleep story’s. Listening to a bedtime story made for little kids mostly is really strangely therapeutic. There are more adult options but give the kiddy one’s a try. I feel like I’m one of the last demographics that these sleep story’s would reach but they make me feel more secure and able to connect back to the security of childhood. But anyways I highly recommend this app, the subscription is a bit pricey but the quality isn’t matched anywhere else. Falling asleep, calming down, feeling secure, and gaining more confidence & hope have all been easy and peaceful to do with this app. I’ve been falling asleep with my headphones on every night so I can listen to this without disturbing my roommate. But I feel like he would enjoy it too. After just the first day of the free trial I’m hooked. more
So relaxing and amazing Apr 11, 2020

By calm girl10

I absolutely love love love this app!!!!♥️ once I could not go to sleep so I turned on some of the calm music and I fell asleep 10 minutes later. I was amazed. I have been getting better sleep since than. Also whenever I am feeling stressed or anxious about someone or something, I listen to one of the daily calms or the next day on the meditation trial. Right away it’s as if you were brought into some beautiful relaxing world where there are these voices saying “It will be ok no matter what. This will pass.” And it does its amazing how calming and peaceful this app is. Next, mood check in. The mood check in helps me express and release good and bad feelings and thoughts. Enjoy the good ones and let go of the bad ones. It even gives you a chance to write a little about them. It’s like your own personal diary, but way better. Last but definitely not least, I Believe this app can make you a better person. To be happier, to live life longer. It can be a real life changer. And just know that it’s never to late to start fresh again. It’s never to late to change yourself. But most of all, it’s never to late lo be the big change in the world, that you have wished for. And calm can help with all of that. This is a total recommendation for anyone. more

You get a FREE subscription if you have Kaiser for health insurance. I like the short 10 minute meditations and stretching as they're perfect for busy lives. I use the app before and after work. You have the option of longer meditations. It has helped relieve my anxiety making me calmer and more relaxed during the day, helps me get a good and full night's sleep.

It will help you through sleepless nights - worth the annual membership Aug 10, 2022

By tashhi

I originally received a Calm membership for a year through Verizon and mostly knew it as a meditation app. I would probably give the meditation side of the app 3 stars. It has variety and guided options but if you are a meditator, it isn’t very helpful. The search feature also isn’t useful. I look for sound meditation with chimes at various times depending on how long I would like to meditate. And if I want a guided meditation, I want to be able to search by length, not topic. But all that being said, the sleep story side of this app is 5 stars. It has saved me from sleepless nights and eased me back to sleep when I’ve woken in the night due to anxiety and illness. While I don’t use it every night, when I do, I am asleep within minutes. On nights when I’m having a hard time sleeping, one to two will ease me to sleep. There’s great variety from fiction to nonfiction, different types of narrators, and different journeys from walking through a bookstore to riding a train to taking a trip to space. I highly recommend the paid version for these sleep stories. I’ve even enjoyed some of the children’s versions! more

Sleep, anxiety, & life saver all in one app May 24, 2020

By CaylieHan

Honestly, I had come to a point in my life where I insomnia and anxiety were at an all time high , I was on anxiety meds, sleep meds, anything they could do to try & get my anxiety and insomnia under control & even when the pills weren’t really helping, I decided to try this app out because even doctors had recommend it, while yes- price tag can seem like a lot, BUT I used this one night while my anxiety was setting in and I was asleep half way through the sleep story and when I woke in the morning I was in disbelief. Nothing, I mean nothing had helped me until I found this app. The meditation & sleep stories are amazing. I am so grateful for this app. Now, the only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars would be due to a recommend I have for the creators, they should create a watch or something that can track your sleep & in the morning provide meditations, music, sleep stories that reflected how you slept the night before. For example, if someone woke up a lot, or of people were waking up frequently and having a hard time going back to sleep & maybe making suggestions for a meditation they could choose that one as more personal, or for anxiety with sleep or sleeplessness, things like that. I don’t know that would be my only recommendation, but overall and amazing app that’s worth the price. more

By Brandon

I enjoy the app but there are a few things that bug me. If I miss a mood check in at my scheduled reminder time there is no way that I can find to check in. And a feature that I wish this app had is a random mindfulness notification. You can set one at a specific time (and only one) but I'd like to get several throughout the day at random times. more
Great but needs more voices Dec 3, 2020

By nmbr1sk8r

I love this app and use it all the time. Loads of new content added constantly. The length of the meditations is perfect. I love the series like 7 days of calm, 7 days of sleep, etc. the breathing exercises are so helpful. One area for improvement would be that currently most of the meditations, especially new content, is narrated by the same woman. It would be really helpful if these same sessions were recorded with a male voice, so listeners could have an option. It would also be helpful if there were a more diverse selection of voices throughout the meditations. (This is done in the master classes and sleep stories, but I’d like to see it in the meditations too). A second area would be a review of the content of the gratitude meditations, which make assumptions and are therefore injurious for some listeners. For example I am in the middle of fighting a long term disease. Suggestions like you should be grateful for your health are not helpful and actually harmful for me. I’d really like to cultivate more gratitude but I can’t get through any of these meditations without being triggered. A review by someone working with diverse populations could help this. Other than this, I love the app. It has been designed so well and my mental health has improved dramatically since starting to use it. Highly recommended! more
Sleep Stories are AMAZING! Nov 20, 2019

By TinySenshi

This App is my absolutely favorite to use when I’m going to sleep. I got it solely for the sleep stories and I’m absolutely obsessed. It’s like being a kid again and getting a beautiful story read to you by a soothing voice. While I use the app mainly for sleep stories I’ve used the meditation, background music, and breathing exercise options on the app as well. I used to use Headspace for a lot of my meditation sessions but with Calm having so many additional features I switched over fairly quickly. The only problem I have with this app is that I can’t set up a playlist/cue of the stories I want to fall asleep to. Sometimes I can’t fall asleep right away so I have to go through the process of unlocking my phone, setting up another story, and trying to settle down once again just to set up another story to be read. It quickly becomes irritating, especially on nights when I can’t fall asleep easily and have to go through the process of setting up an additional three stories and eventually giving up in the end. So if that can somehow be added then it’ll get my full 5 stars. But having nights where I’m on and off my phone throughout the night definitely makes me feel frustrated enough to keep it at 4 stars. more
My opinion about the calm app. Mar 24, 2021

By nehdhdhennej

Dear-Publisher,I have had this app for year and I love it so much, it helps me a lot but I deleted the app and downloaded it back and I’m glad I did. I know you may not have the some opinion as me but I think this app is outstanding. If the creator or person that published this app sees this, I just wanna tell how thankful I am that you made this all because it helps a lot. I know that some of the stories cost money but it’s still worth downloading the app. I recommend listening to “sleep paws” and “the secret lagoon” they are both amazing bedtime stories for all ages! There is no age policy for this app if you ask me I just think that there is only one thing that could make the app better which is making the stories a lower price or just making it cost 0 dollars itself because some of the stories look very interesting but I cannot read them because I have to do a trial and that’s the reason why umm giving this app 4 starts! So if the person who published this app sees this review I just wanna say thanks for making my life so much more easier but please Mack some of the stories more reasonable of price because I have read all of the stories which are the ones that don’t cost money. more
Pretty cool app Apr 13, 2020

By Mr brake your back

This app was created to help people who are struggling with anxiety, daily stress, sleeping problems, or even depression. The app has many different resources and techniques given to help people. It has breathing exercises which can help people who are dealing with anxiety or stress. These breathing techniques are proven effective by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques. The app has calming music to listen to while doing work or to help fall asleep. For someone who is struggling with depression the app gives many tips with the focus on mental health. These tips are how to maintain a strong mental health. I downloaded this app since I saw a lot of advertising for it. My first impressions of the app were just okay. Once I figured out how to navigate around the app and use all of the features I began to enjoy it more and more. One of my favorite features about the app is the stories to help you fall asleep. One of the parts of the app that I did not like very much is that you have to pay to get a majority of the features. Although they do have a free 7 day subscription, I feel that you need to use it longer to get a good effect from the app. Overall I think that app is pretty cool and interesting. more
Needs a night shift worker version Oct 16, 2022

By Kekerich409

Night shift nurse here! My first year as a nurse has lead to high anxiety and stress levels. My therapist recommended this app for mindful meditation and I’m enjoying it so far. I find Tamara’s voice very soothing—not annoying, and the soundscapes in the background are perfect. It would be nice if there was a setting or a collection of audios for those who work nights and therefore sleep in the day time. It can be hard to sleep with all the noises of day (lawn mowers, car horns, noisy neighbors,etc.) It would also be nice if the daily check ins could take this into consideration as well—when I meditate in the morning after I get off work, the question is “how did you sleep last night?” Well I worked last night so that doesn’t apply. As far as the $70/year, this is affordable for me but I realize that isn’t the case for everyone—especially in this economy. I definitely couldn’t have paid for this in college, maybe the developers should consider a discount for college students, teachers, etc. Access to mental health resources should ideally be available to all regardless of financial situation. more
Should not claim to support Family Share Jun 2, 2020

By bbrockit

Like many expensive subscription apps Calm claims to support Apple Family share. However, In-app purchases and subscriptions cannot be shared, so no, your purchase of Calm cannot be shared. Only the free portion (accessible for 1 week) can be shared—which is of course unnecessary since family members don’t need family share for something that is already free. Family members would actually be better off downloading it directly because the free access only lasts one week so they’d at least get their own trial period instead of whatever remains of a family member’s. There is fine print in the App Store which says that Family Share does not support in-app purchases and subscriptions, but nothing in the app itself will tell you that your $70 one year subscription cannot be shared with a family member or significant other. It would be simpler and more honest if Calm would opt-out of Family Share so it would not display that capability on their App Store description as Family Share is only relevant and useful for one-time paid apps. You have a very nice app otherwise. more
Amazing but.... Feb 9, 2019

By Avasherry234

Okay, I will be honest this app is so relaxing. At first, I thought that it would be some kind of boring app that wouldn’t have any use— well I was wrong. This app is so good. There are different types of meditations that you can do for seven days, sleep stories that will make you fall asleep, classical music, relaxing backgrounds that you can change anytime, yoga lessons, and to just breath normally. I started about a week ago, and I have been so relaxed after that. I don’t get as mad when my lil sis hides in my room and steals things, I don’t get as frustrated when my parents ask me to do double chores with no extra allowance. But there is something that I will have to point out before you download this app— most of the things are NOT free! Most sleep stories are not free, most meditation thingies are not free (you can only have one sample then every other day is locked, ask of the relaxing music costs money, it is the same for the yoga. You need to buy a year’s worth of unlimited pro, month, or week. To me it is kind of unfair, but they still allow a few sleep stories and I can get relaxed even without the pro needed. more
More narrators please Mar 18, 2019

By Dia diamonde

This app has been incredibly helpful for me; the focused texts are simple enough to be absorbable / not distracting in a state of meditation, when you need it most. The 7 days series is excellent. The texts themselves are poignant with the exception of some cultural references Ive heard (honestly, I don’t think this is any place to mention what Amanda Palmer from Dresden Dolls thinks) - trying way too hard with that. My main issue which has kept me from being able to use about 50% of the guided meditations, including Daily Calm and most other practices, is that I just can not bear the speaking voice of Tamara Levitt. I’ve tried & tried and i just can’t. It it is probably just me but she really rubs me the wrong way in how mushy and drippy her voice is...it comes across as disingenuous but I realize that the intention is exactly the opposite. It would be really nice to have at least one other choice for each program - ideally the other one would be more neutral. It’s a pity because I like the content very much, but otherwise, with no adjustments of added narrators it will probably keep me from renewing my subscription. more

Good content but not a very good app. The home screen content seems random. You would assume that if I've been doing a particular mediation course everyday that the next session of that would be there at the top ready to go each day, but it is not present at all and there are other things. You can favorite things, but navigating around the app and searching for stuff is confusing. So far I've enjoyed most of what I've heard, but the user experience is sub par considering their subscription cost more
Nov 15, 2022

By Ariel George

I really think this app is too expensive. I mostly use it for sleep stories lately but have used the meditation in the past and while I think it's a great tool, there really should be more features included when it's so GD expensive. One main frustration I have is that you can't make a playlist for sleep stories. I can try to find the longest story but it will still quit before the story is done most of the time. Please add this feature, I think it's a pretty simple ask when I'm paying $70. more
Pls read Jun 24, 2020

By a ds42gme

Dear calm, I have had your app since my middle school years. I’ve got to say, your app was AMAZING with 15 sleep stories and 2 and 1/2 meditations, this wasn’t a problem for me because I also use headspace. Yes, they're your competition but I wasn't choosing sides. Anyways, over time you guys added feature that you really focused on for 2 weeks at a time and just gave up on it. Next, you decreased the amount of sleep stories which was ha a huge problem for me because I was NOT getting enough sleep to keep my grades up. It got so bad that I stole my mother's phone just to sleep (she Had the Premium subscription). So I was like, ”ok, I'll just use headspace ONLY for sleep and calm for meditation. Then, you took away the 7 days of calm AKA: YOUR MAIN TRIAL AND ONLY TRIAL MEDITATION LEFT after you premiumfied the 7 days of something (forgot). I mean like BRU, I have other options. I started using headspace which is a great alternative if you don't have much money. I recommend bringing back some stuff from premium and reduce the price. To counteract this, put one 15 second ad at the beginning. Of every session of meditation for people without premium. Therefore, there is more than one reason to get it and it's CHEAPER. That's a win-win situation. I hope you come to the right decision. Whatever it is, I probably wouldn't stop using the app. Thank you for your time. more

I've had a subscription for a couple of years and I mainly use the app for sleep stories. The content is fantastic! However, there are some obvious things missing that you'd thing are easy to add: -repeat? -creating playlists? Moshi, this app's sister app has had these features forever. There's nothing more disruptive than waking up in the middle of the night and having to fiddle with my phone to put back on a sleep story. I wish these would be added, as this would make the app 100x better! more
I like it but………. Jan 19, 2022

By 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 more
Oct 26, 2022

By Omri Abram

I've been using the app with a yearly subscription for a couple months now. I generally like it but there are a few things that make me doubt I'll resubscibe if they aren't addressed: 1. I'd like to have many more lightly guided meditations longer than 10 minutes. A bit less talking! 2. I appreciate the use of soundscapes as background. But there are often audible and distracting clips when they loop on themselves. 3. The UI is quite poor and disorienting. more
Improved over time Oct 11, 2022

By KCF 96

I want to say I tried this app back in 2015 or 2016. I took a break from it for a while after I found Insight Timer because I much preferred the content on that app (comes from thousands of creators and is free). I REALLY do not enjoy Tamara’s voice and refuse to listen to it which eliminates about 30% of the content on this app (previously her voice accounted for 90% so this is an improvement). This is what originally led me to explore other apps. They’re really beginning to expand on variety now and I don’t have to listen to that god-awful Mid-Atlantic-like accent while I’m trying to meditate or go to sleep. I love the sleep stories and my boyfriend has also grown to look forward to picking one out. One thing I noticed recently that I would like to call out to the developers was that I had turned on Jay Shetty’s sleep meditation and noticed I was able to still listen to my background music of choice from the home page. This was really really cool and something I hope I’m able to do to customize the background sounds for my other meditations. If it’s a new feature or something please continue to offer it! I like being able to choose from more than just “music” or with “rain” in the background sometimes. Thanks! more
Doesn’t work as well as it should for the money Dec 30, 2021

By Kimmi624

I paid $70 for this thing, and the sleep feature does not work correctly for me at all! I set it for three hours usually, because I like the noise to continue until I know for sure that I have fallen asleep. It never fails that once it stops, it jars me out of sleep, assuming I have fallen asleep quickly enough. Unfortunately that’s exactly what keeps happening to me. I use this app on my iPad, and usually after the first song, if I am listening to sleep music, it completely stops playing, and then I get a message telling me that my timer ran out. Even though the timer underneath clearly shows that I have close to three hours still left on it. This literally happens almost every night so I’ve gotten to the point where I don’t even try to fall asleep until at least two songs have played. I like the app otherwise, but it’s absolutely ridiculous that I have to do that after having spent so much money on this thing!! I like the sleep stories as well, but I wish there was some way to set them on repeat because I don’t always fall asleep quickly enough and I wouldn’t mind having them play multiple times. more
Great, but limited content, needs more Nov 25, 2018

By bioeric

This app has really changed how well I sleep. And for that I am truly grateful to the developers. They definitely deserve all the accolades the app has been receiving. I do have one major criticism thought that I wish I could get them to pay attention to at this time. They apps content is very limited in comparison to other similar apps. The major area of limitation is the sleep stories section. There are only a handful of sleep stories that can not even get you through a month of nights without having to listen to the same stories over and over again. Many users I know are focusing in on the sleep stories section because they work. However, all have the same complaint as I do; just not enough stories and having to listen to the same stories over and over again. Hey for little kids, this particular flaw is fine. Heck, I have read the Fantastic Mr. Fox to my youngest literally over a 100 times to get him to sleep. For us adults, the developers of calm need to realize we need more variety in our sleep stories. If this app only had more, I would be elated to change my rating to 5 out of 5 stars without a days hesitation. more
The app is wonderful, but lacks variety. Sep 8, 2020

By AJayneDyer

I got a year of premium on this app and absolutely adore it. The depth, care, and detail that went into making this app the best of its kind are not at all lost on me. It’s been very helpful to me with managing sleep and anxiety, really to life-changing levels. But I find my biggest complaint and the thing that makes me go through bouts in which I stop using it altogether is the lack of variety in narrators. Tamara Levitt is used to narrate a very large number of exercises and while her voice is positive and upbeat—she really is lovely, I’m sure!—it’s not AT ALL relaxing and totally grinds on my nerves. I literally cannot listen to any audio that she does in this app and as I said, there are many. It’s really disappointing. I’ve found the male narrators, specifically Elisha Goldstein, have a slower cadence and a much more relaxing tone that allows me to decompress and stop my anxiety attacks or drift off to sleep. But repetitive listening of certain audios can lead me to memorize it, which I find has me anticipating the words rather than absorbing them. I would really appreciate more frequent updates to the “cast” in these audios, especially ones for sleep and anxiety management. more

App is in accessible for blind user, buttons unlabeled Apr 29, 2021

By Apelli0727

Hello, I really like the content on your app and it has really helped me to develop my practice. However because of the issues described in the title I probably will no longer subscribe to calm next year. I am blind, and use the screen reader voiceover. I can play the videos for the content well enough with play pause, fastforward but the biggest barrier I am facing is that the mountains which you tap on in the for you tab to bring up the settings are unlabeled. I was trying to turn off the babbling Brook sound, accessible apps need to have text labels to accompany any clickable items. I would love to resubscribe once you have resolved these issues, buttons for the mood check-in feature are also unlabeled or nonexistent. The box breathing technique does not speak anything aloud or refresh on its own. A better way to accomplish that might be to use a metronome with 44 times signature. I am happy to speak to a developer more about my feedback and suggestions for how to resolve these issues, but I think that especially since healthcare providers are starting to recommend your service to their users, many of them who use Medicaid and Medicare and are disabled the app absolutely should be more accessible. Thank you for your timely consideration and namaste. I look forward to working with you in making the meditation community more inclusive. more

Not great for the chronically ill Nov 10, 2020

By straea

I downloaded this app when Apple recommended it. I have tried several guided meditation apps and am always open to the possibility of finding another one to add to my options for meditating alone. I could not open the app the first time without agreeing to be charged a subscription at the end of a one-week free trial. The app then asked me a few questions to try to determine what to recommend — how familiar I am with meditation, how often I meditate, and what I’d like to focus on in guided meditation. It then recommended I try a one-week course on stress. I figured I would give it a try, but I did not make it 60 seconds into the very first lesson before the person leading the meditation falsely claimed that a variety of physical chronic illnesses are *caused by* stress, the same utter garbage that some people claimed to me way back when I was diagnosed over 20 years ago. I immediately stopped the course but decided to try something else before giving up on the app. I tried a few of the daily meditations, but like another recent reviewer, I found the style of the person who always leads them doesn’t really mesh with my style. Then I had an anxiety attack and only later realized that I had forgotten this app was on my phone when doing things to calm myself. At that point I finally deleted it. more
Latest layout just has so many design and access flaws Apr 10, 2022

By Samantha Twotwins

This was such a wonderful app, At some point, a year ago? they redesigned the layout and made it stressful to use. It was so simple before, you wanted a sleep story? You could scroll through every one simply and fluidly. now they are all separated, train stories from nature from featured or whatsoever and you have to spend your time searching through multiple tabs, that shudder as you scroll, not fluid anymore, the last thing you want to do when you’re looking to get to sleep. And though on each there’s a See All tab, you only see all of that category - making it really difficult to just access all sleep stories. And these sleep categories are all buried among daytime use tabs, meditations, daily get up and go stuff, mental fitness. Who thought this was a good idea?? The layout design is too specified and difficult to just go and find what you want. Also, while I’m glad there is more kid content being added for parents it would be nice if they added other stories at the same pace, and also backed off some of the more cheesy approaches to new stories that seems to have begin to pervade. Bummer when a great thing is “improved” and made far less nice. more
Most meditations guided by the same person Aug 6, 2020

By Madelyn Michelle

After having calm for several months now, I’ve enjoyed exploring to the variety of content from masterclasses to music to meditation. I also like the approach calm takes in encouraging you to develop your own daily practice of mindfulness. However, the main reason why I purchased calm was for the large library of meditations. However the bulk of new meditations come from the daily meditation which is always guided by the same person, Tamara Levitt. She also guides many of the meditation series they have available. Unfortunately I don’t enjoy how Tamara does her meditations and I find them more distracting than helpful. Because of this I find myself avoiding her meditations and whenever there is a choice for another voice I’ll pick it, but there are only so many of these. And, if you’re not doing the daily meditations, it doesn’t take too long before you feel like you’re running out of content. Calm is great if you enjoy Tamara’s meditations, but your kind of out of a deal if you don’t. I just think its unfortunate that there isn’t more variety in the voices available and authors coming out with new content. My wish would be for calm to at least have a second choice for the voice of the daily calm. more
Great app but lots of $ Jan 1, 2020

By penguino🐧567986543

I love the app! But that’s a lot of money. I think there should be an app that thinks about the people using it more, because some people can’t afford this including me. I’m trying to look for a app that helps with my anxiety and this app is great but I don’t have the money to get what I need on this app. This seems like a little much to charge $70. This helps people’s stress, anxiety, depression, and more. There are a ton of options you can use which is great if you have $70. You should have more free things and give more price options. Like you could have a certain amount of money for a week or a month or even even a few months, not just charge to only get it for a year. And you could lower the price for a year even if it’s just by a few $. This might attract more people to the app and you would make more money. You would probably get better ratings too. If you have the $ to spend on this app spend it! It’s not going to be a waste of your $. This has sleep stories for people of all ages including kids, it has all different kinds of sounds, it has meditation, and it has breathing exercises. GET THIS APP if you have the money to spend for it. It won’t let you down. more
Too many locked things Dec 30, 2019

By 🌺🐘Elephants4Ever🐘🌺

Today I found myself in a EXTREMELY stressful situation and I needed to be calmed down. I decided to download this app because I couldn’t take it anymore. I read the reviews and a lot of people were complaining about the locked features. I thought it couldn’t be that bad. I was wrong. Almost everything helpful is locked. I found myself not only stressing out about the situation I’m going through but this app. Now I know it’s not a lot of money but even if it’s like a couple cents a month, I stress about it. I’m not poor or anything it’s just that I have a lot of anxiety. I mean a lot. This isn’t a very helpful app if almost everything helpful is locked. All the music is locked which would help me the most. Very disappointing but I gave it an extra star because if we had some helpful things, it would be an amazing app. I saw a response to a review like mine saying that they make it so expensive so they can keep building the app. Omg these people who made this aren’t very smart. Have you seen all the 5 stars? If you make it cheaper, there will be more people buying the app and then the reviews won’t be as bad and you’ll have even more money. $70 is just outrageous. more
Ironic Sep 30, 2021

By TheWillLawrence

I just wanted to explore the app but immediate I was faced with signing up(here comes the spam marketing emails), and choosing a pricy subscription(is it worthy it….. I’d not know I haven’t seen anything yet). Then you find the way out of the subscription screen and Bamm they hit you with another one… a bit cheaper though. After that finally I got to the app. Almost everything is locked. But I tried clicking anyways right cause that’s why I’m here. Bammm they hit you with the subscription page because you need to pay to view that content. … Okay I’ll got back and look for something free so that I can see this app in use. ….Scrolling scrolling scrolling almost nothing is unlocked. And them Bammm…. Pop up…They want a app review…. I just got here, I can’t review yet. All that to say I gave up at that point and I still dont know if it’s good app. Maybe. But it was a stressful experience getting almost nowhere. And then hours later after I’ve given up and deleted the app and moved on… Bammm… email comes in from Calm offering a discounted subscription. Ironically the most stressful thing in my day was this Calm app. more

Until it came time to renew!!!!!! I chose the monthly rate, because for some unknown reason my phone would go wonky when I sometimes used the app. But I didnt want to discard it completely. So unbeknownst to me, after I paid for the month, 3:15 am I am informed my account has been overdrawn!!!!! It was overdrafted by$75! They took the payment for the year, without my consent. So essentially theyve been paid twice! The person that emailed me seemed to think maybe I was too upset. more

Downloaded to hear more "brown noise" that was advertised on a tv commercial, since the app was free.. but once I opened it, before showing me anything about how it might work, it asks me to subscribe to a $69.99 annual subscription. When I click close on that screen another opens to offer me "today only", 40% of at $41.99. As near as I can tell only one sound is available without paying for their subscription. Bait and switch. Free app, but you have to pay a subscription fee to try and use it. more

I've had this app for years and have loved the free options. There are certain ones I listen to when I sleep or meditate. I recently upgraded my phone and in so doing have learned that there are no free options anymore. Very frustrating, & poor service as they won't fix it. I had to go on my old phone, change downloaded pieces to ogg files, save them in my music folder, and transfer to my new phone that way. But I won't be using Calm anymore. 🙄 more

Purchased this app year ago believing I'd be able to cancel at anytime by going in Subscriptions on Google Play. Purchased it, I didn't like it. Went to the place I was instructed to cancel. It most definitely APPEARED TO CANCEL. It did not. Noticed a large withdrawal today for this app which I simply CANNOT AFFORD. Which shouldn't have happened. Now I cannot figure out how to cancel something that has already been cancelled but really isn't. Now I get to decide who gets to eat today? Nice! THX! more

Don't fall for their "Free Trial" Subscription. They won't send you a reminder email (as promised), and you'll find it extremely hard to actually cancel this subscription (before they charge your card), on both Google Play or their website. Two thumbs down for a bait and switch technique that shouldn't be needed if the product was worth it --- It's not. I rate this app at LESS THAN one star (not worth it) -- more

I've used this app for years, and I'll never use it again. There used to be a lot of free soundscapes and sleep stories. But suddenly the soundscapes I've been listening to for over a year without the subscription are all behind a pay wall when they weren't yesterday. I'm disgusted at the dev team for reducing free access so much. Having to pay for new content is one thing, but to remove access to old content is underhanded. more

I used this app a couple of years ago or so and thought I would try it again since I've been having trouble sleeping. I almost cried no joke when I realized my saved nature sounds were now only accessable via paid subscription. Guess it's back to Spotify. Clips this generic should be part of the free version. Disappointed is an understatement. more

"Free 3 month trial" false advertising, not even one where you can cancel after the 3 months. You literally have to buy a whole year and you get 3 months off, you still have to pay them for a service you have no idea how it is. That isn't a trail, you see a trail is when you let people try your service to see if they want it, really scummy tactic more

This is basically unusable unless you buy the premium option for 69.99/yr. I wanted to try out prior to purchasing anything (or using the 7day free trail). I have been searching for over 10 mins to find something that is part of the "free" app with no luck. If you are looking for free this is not the app for you. more
FRAUD! DO NOT SUBSCRIBE!!! Jul 16, 2022

The offer a 7 day FREE Trial and then auto bill your credit card thereafter. A friend was gracious enough to purchase me a 1 year gift certificate to the program; however, when I signed up, the app would not accept my gift certificate info and stated I would be billed on my credit card after the free trial was up. I have attempted for HOURS to go into the app to cancel the premium subscription and to also delete my account. The app just takes you in circles and gives you no avenue to cancel. When I try to delete my account, I get an error stating I have to cancel my subscription first, which the app will not allow me to do. I have also tried deleting my credit card info from my phone in settings and removing the app subscription that way and it does not work either. I ultimately had to cancel my credit card and have it reissued to prevent the auto charge subscription from taking place and now am without my credit card for several days. I did not want to wait for the charge to go through and then have to wait 90 days for me to get the charge deleted/reversed. This practice with the developers to make it impossible to cancel is shady.. they also do not provide any contact customer service email or phone number to contact to cancel or address billing concerns. more
