   Tricky pricing- Scam. Under the pricing menu it says Soundly Weekly- $2.99 Daily. All I know is I was being charged by Apple 2.99 all the time and finally figured out it was this stupid app dinging me left and right. I cancelled but it charged me again today and says my plan will cancel July 6. So I guess I’ll be charged 2.99 daily for another week. No way to stop immediately ???

   I used to love this app. Being a college student, focus is absolutely necessary for success in classes, and using this app gave me the focus and the precision I needed. Now that the creators put up a paywall, looks like I’m going to have to find a new app to use and love. Will not recommend this app anymore and my family members have already deleted off of their phones as well.

3. ★★★★★overpriced

   Expensive app. To be honest app is good sounds oky but it is expensive. Should be 4.99$ a month not double of that amount. I’ll pass this one. Not mind paying but don’t want to overpaid. For now I can’t give you more than one star. Sorry!

4. ★★★★★hidden charge trap

   Worst app, limited sounds. Don’t bother downloading this app, with their selection of sounds the app should be free. Not worth it at all. Additionally the company is shady, I downloaded the app for the 7 day free trial and they automatically charged me $60 the second I downloaded. I can’t get a hold of their support team and they do not respond when I asked for a refund because I didn’t want to use the app.

   This app is a scam.. I use white noise so I can fall asleep because it’s loud in my dorm. I thought this was a normal free white noise app, but apparently you get automatically signed up to a yearly $60 charge. I’ve only had this app for a few months and now I have to pay $60?! Not cool. I obviously wouldn’t have gotten it if I had known I’d be charged. I reached out to their email but didn’t get a response. Disappointed.

6. ★★★★★hidden charge trap

   Same old thing. More subscription based garbage with ridiculous pricing.

7. ★★★★★hidden charge trap

   This is weird.. This feels like the guy at the bar who thinks buying a drink means sex. I think there’s nothing wrong for wanting to be paid for the work you do but as a company I think it’s wrong to hard sell before providing value. It wouldn’t hurt to have an extremely limited lite version. Then the main complaint you get would be instantly put to rest.

8. ★★★★★hidden charge trap

   Pointless. I downloaded app and didn’t have the white noise sound I wanted. Deleted app same day and never used again. I had no idea the app cost 60$! Way over priced for what the app offers! Don’t be scammed like me. I tried to request a refund and no response from developer. Over all terrible app!!

9. ★★★★★hidden charge trap

   Too expensive. Seems like a really nice app. I would love to keep it but not for these prices. I understand developers need to get paid but what’s wrong with a flat rate to download and keep. No subscriptions! That’s ridiculous for an app like this. I will be uninstalling sadly.

10. ★★★★★overpriced

    Nah. Make it free

11. ★★★★★hidden charge trap

    Is a scam. It’s a blatant money grab

12. ★★★★★hidden charge trap

    Didn’t even try it..... I didn’t even make it past the initial set up. It wanted me to do 7 day trial after which I would be charged the yearly rate of $59.99.

13. ★★★★★hidden charge trap

    Not a free app. The app is free to download but you have to pay to even use it. *start your trial so we can charge you in 7 days*

14. ★★★★★hidden charge trap

    Soundly review. So I went into soundly and it said I have to pay for it but in the AppStore it said it was free?

15. ★★★★★hidden charge trap

    Deceptive. Be careful.. When I’m half asleep looking for some white noise while traveling, I apparently don’t make careful choices in apps. Appears to be “free” but will charge you a rip off price of $60 after one week. I don’t even remember seeing the notification, but’s there. This app is not forthcoming and overcharges for what it is. Best look to many of the other actual free options.

16. ★★★★★hidden charge trap

    DID NOT WANT TO PURCHASE THIS APP. !!!!!. DO NOT CHARGE ME AND CANCEL THIS APP NOW!!!!!!!

17. ★★★★★hidden charge trap

    Highly Deceptive. I downloaded hoping I can just use the basic app, but the first screen prompts you to PAY $60 a year!! For white noise? It shouldn't be advertised as a FREE app if you aren’t allowing users to use a basic version for free!

18. ★★★★★overpriced

    Money Grab. Very minimal library to be charging a monthly subscription, honestly ridiculous that they’d even try that.

19. ★★★★★other

    Can’t log in. I can’t log in with pizziz

20. ★★★★★hidden charge trap

    AVOID!!! A MASSIVE RIP OFF!!. That’s such poor form, charging $93 automatically for year if you don’t cancel the app. And the app isn’t that good, certainly not $93 good. For $93 I expect to own the app. You people are crooks and rip off merchants . Honestly, justify to me, how you can charge that yearly? I’ll wait ...........for that much money , I should own the app. Rip off merchants. Why don’t you reply to this developer ?

21. ★★★★★hidden charge trap

    Subscription. The subscription link doesn’t work so I can’t cancel before the end of the trial period.

22. ★★★★★overpriced

    disappointing. i loved using this app until it asked me to pay the ridiculous prices . i assumed there would be some sort of free limited section but not even one thing . i refuse to pay for “sounds” .

23. ★★★★★hidden charge trap

    Not free.. Says it is free in the App Store, but you have to subscribe $7.99 a month. I was able to fall asleep with it too :(

24. ★★★★★other

    No longer being updated. Love this app, but sadly it is no longer being updated with new sounds and stories, missing many of the newer stories and music. Will update the review if things change.

25. ★★★★★narration and sleep stories

    Many options, little value. As a Pzizz user that is having problems with Airplay in the current app, I was hoping this app would be a more up to date replacement. Unfortunately this app is not well suited to sleeping or napping. Unlike Pzizz, the narration is exactly the same every time, which makes it annoying after one or two uses. The narrator that I like, Matthew, has very few sound clips, and does not talk at all after that. Most of the background sounds are also repetitive and on a short loop. It also cannot find any way to setup a nap that starts with narration and ends with wake up narration. There also appears to be no option for an alarm. There are too many choices, most of them not very good, and the app is not very intuitive. Overall this app feels to basic compared to Pzizz. I wish Pzizz were updated to be better and work properly with the new Airplay. The original Pzizz with it’s randomized script and the classic Pzizz soundscape is still by far the best and most effective tool I have used for a relaxing nap. One of the reasons Pzizz worked so well in its original form is that it was not the same every time. Most of the new soundscapes in Pzizz, and everything in Soundly, seems to be the same every time and on a simple loop. This does not live up to the legacy of the original Pzizz, and I would not recommend it. I am getting tired of paying for a subscription only to get access to more repetitive and less varied soundscapes, or apps like Soundly, where there is no variation at all. The original Pzizz that I started using on my Mac 15 years ago worked well, and when I can get it working on my phone, it still does. I disappointed that that original experience hasn’t gotten the attention it needs to keep it functioning. As it stands this will never be a suitable replacement.

    Was good but is now ruined. It was good for awhile as I was struggling to sleep. That was until now when I logged on to check it out it says to use the app at all I need a subscription the free stuff before was perfect. Guess what? Now you have ruined it! Thanks a lot

27. ★★★★★overpriced

    Expensive. I wish it was cheaper it’s not worth the service. It is a cool app though.

28. ★★★★★overpriced

    nice while it lasted.... it was incredible, and I used it every night until I cleared the app from my queue, and then when I opened the app again, I had to pay to use it. uninstalling it and reinstalling it did absolutely nothing. it was amazing while it lasted, but unfortunately, it did this to me (and others, apparently). oh well, at least I can get it free on YouTube and Spotify :///

29. ★★★★★overpriced

    Amazing but it’s too expensive. I loved the app when I first got it. The sounds were really pretty and really helped me fall asleep and relax. I find that (and i’m sure a lot of other people do too) that it’s too much money to subscribe. You could make the free version locked away from a few things and make the monthly subscription thing cheaper and i’m sure you would get more customers.

30. ★★★★★overpriced

    Loved it but far to expensive :(. Its a great app and ive tried dozens like it, I love that this one has such soothing ambience, not like others that just have a bunch of annoying pianno loops. Unfortunatley once the trial ended i couldnt use a thing or even get back in it. I understand it was a trial but I assumed the free version would just be limited selections and could still use some. Im sad as I really fell in love with it but just cannot afford subscriptions like these. I would love it if developers created a free version of something similiar with a few features, they are deff on right track with there sound apps and wish others had there vision.
