Ai voices. Cuts off out of nowhere. Was a nice app till it started glitching within 6 to 15 minutes of use every time and the ai voices are horrible. It’s useless now.

Not free anymore?. I sent the app to my sister to download and it’s telling her it’s $15, is it not free anymore? Or did I pay $15 and can’t remember, and the app description is wrong when it says 100% free?

Non-Functional. Constantly says it’s “loading”… I did not even see until after the fact that it has not been updated in 2 YEARS (as of 7/2024). That would explain a lot.
★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors
Not working. I’ve had this app for over a year and recently when I open the app it says “loading please stand by” and it never opens. Deleted app and reinstalled, phone has latest updates. Still doesn’t work. Please fix the app.

Doesn’t work. Used to work and loved it. Hasn’t worked in a while! Bummed.

App hasn’t worked in days.. Did they stop updating this app? It hasn’t worked for me in days. I deleted and reinstalled, but continue to receive a message saying the content is loading and will be available in a moment, but nothing comes up. This is my favorite sleep stories app. I’ll be sad if it goes away.

No longer works :(. Like many others, my app no longer loads any content. So sad because I loved it when it was working.

It was great but. It stopped working and no signs of a fix as of yet it’s been a few days. I loved it when it was operational

Doesn’t work. Ever since I downloaded this app, the pages won’t load up!

Was great until it broke. I used this app for a few weeks and liked it but a few days ago got a blank screen with a message "content loading". I deleted the app and downloaded it again, same black screen. 5 stars when it was working.

App is down. As of yesterday (6/24/24) at least, the app appears to be down. Blank pages when you open & just says content is loading. Closing app & reopening doesn’t work. Trying to contact app support through App Store just takes you to a zen desk page that says “oops” the page no longer exists. Is Soothing Pod dead??
★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors
Why is it not working?. I’ve had this app for years and use nightly, it’s not working at all now. What gives?
★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors
Not working. This was my favorite app to help me sleep at night. But it stopped working and when I tried to report it, it said it couldn’t send to the developer.

Trash. App is seriously malfunctioning and they don’t have technical assistance.

Good app—when it works. This is a good app, but unfortunately it stopped loading meditations. I’ve deleted apps and redownloaded. My wi fi works fine. But no meditations will load. Disappointed it no longer works. On to a new meditation app…..

Works on initial download that’s it. I’ve downloaded the app 4x. After each download, it works for the first time. Every other time I open the app it’ll say “content loading, please wait….” Then nothing happens. Blank screen. So I delete it & start again.

Used to love. This app had been a game changer for me, but no longer works with Siri to pause, restart. Then i looked at the podcast & saw all the new content that isn’t in the app. You cant reach the developer & it appears they have abandoned this app. Its frustrating because i like the ability to turn off the obnoxious music & sounds in the background and you can’t do that in a podcast or on YouTube. Would absolutely change this to 5 stars if they would start supporting the app again & provide the same content as their YouTube/ Podcasts.

What happened?. Yesterday this app had great relaxing sounds that worked even when you left the app! Today, it’s crap. You leave the app and you leave the sounds behind!! Crap!!!
★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions
App just stopped loading. Idk what’s wrong with the app but it just stop loading. I tried deleting and reinstalling the app and I get the same issue. I was really looking forward to a truly free meditation app and I guess I got what I paid for.
★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
Not free. Liars.
★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors
No support. There is no support option in the app. The support option here in the App Store links to a broken place. The privacy policy also links to a broken place.

Please stop interrupting my meditation. Every time I start a meditation, about ten seconds in (just as I’m getting settled) the app stops to “congratulate” me on another meditation. I then have to quit the app and restart, because the meditation will not resume. In addition, this app will not save my settings for reminders. I don’t want, don’t need reminders. By every time I set it and click save, it reverts back. Uber frustrating and zero support. Tried App Support but says page no longer available.

Glitch. I stirred a story and it suddenly stops for no reason whatsoever. I look at it and the timer has gone back to zero. This happens almost every time I use it and it is the antithesis of soothing.

New version. App updated and now nothing with load. Constantly says “getting content, please wait”. Nothing even after trying for 20 min
★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
Disappointed. Can’t get the meditations to play on my phone.

Again?. I can write another one? Careful people: this app is NOT supported by Apple. IN FACT, I WILL REPORT IT. Don’t download it. The developers take your info regardless, and use it for their personal purposes. It’s a scam.

Ironic Rant. Ok, I know going into this that ranting about an app whose purpose is to promote mindfulness is rich with irony and snarkable witticisms, so if you must indulge, do so knowing that I completely support you because a part of me is smirking at me even as I write this. So here goes: What is the deal with all of these apps claiming to be designed for iPad, and then don’t even support landscape mode!!?? For that matter, where is Apple in all of this? How does Apple allow a developer to list their app as being iPad compatible when it doesn’t support landscape mode? Landscape mode is one of the joys of working with an iPad. Not including it as a feature harshes my Zen. Ok, breathe in.... breathe out... loving kindness flowing to the developer...

Doesn’t work. I downloaded the app this afternoon and I can’t get ANYTHING to play. I was looking forward to it but nada! I’ve even uninstalled it and reinstalled the app with no success.
