Initial take. Nonsense
- ★★★★★single track repeated across all durations
SCAM!. Are you kidding me?? This is one track of audio that can be 10, 20 or 30 mins long. That’s it. It’s the same track every time. One single walk-through of telling you to relax different parts of your body. That’s all. Complete rip-off.

Script won’t play. Doesn’t work.

yoga meditation. Unfortunately the sound quality is less than optimal.

Doesn’t play. Both free and paid-for app don’t play the track - rubbish.
- ★★★★★single track repeated across all durations
Nothing to this app. This app is just music. There is nothing about guiding through different nidra positions. There is nothing in this app over and above Yoga nidra videos you can get for free on YouTube. Total waste of money and can only suggest that the other reviews of this app are fake.

Disappointing. I have paid for upgrade and it has not installed.

Dislike!!. Voice is irritating, the guy just sounds bored & there is no rhythm to what he's saying. It's just stop start, stop start!

Disliked. I have to disagree with all the glowing reviews here (which convinced me to buy the ap in the first place) this meditation is hard to get into & I did not find it relaxing at all, I found the sound of the guys voice irritating. There are much better relaxation meditations out there eg- Andrew johnston.

Disappointing. Very disappointing app. A lot of babble, taking away from the actual yoga nidra. The different durations contain only extra babble. Would not recommend.

Annoying. Sorry mate, this was not what I was expecting,
- ★★★★★technical glitches
Crashes on iOS. I love this app but it freezes up constantly
- ★★★★★single track repeated across all durations
Not worth it. There is only one 10 min guided session in the whole app - that was a rip off especially when there are other free ones with 100s of sessions! Don't buy this. I gave it two star because the session itself was fine - just false advertising.
- ★★★★★technical glitches
Please fix!!. I LOVE this Yoga Nidra practice but since it has been upgraded to the 1.3 version the app shuts down when my phone auto-locks and I have to unlock the phone to get back into it...not very relaxing. The previous version did not do this...PLEASE fix this so I can continue to enjoy my Nidra :-)
- ★★★★★intrusive music and unbalanced audio levels
Please stop the music. As soon as you launch the app it starts playing music with is very annoying and there's no way to opt out of it. I haven't actually tried the practice yet.

Used it once. I used this app once and loved it. Go to open it on day two and the sound will not work. I tried everything in my settings to trouble shoot this to no avail. Too bad, it had promise.
- ★★★★★intrusive music and unbalanced audio levels
Sound levels are bad. This would be a good app if it was sound mixed properly. I might sound pedantic here, but when I’m lying down to meditate, i don’t want to be racing to turn sound levels up and down. The Indian chanting that is a ‘placeholder’ for the app is too loud. Then the actual instructions are really soft and almost drowned out by their background atmos music. Once the yoga Nidra is finished the chanting comes on automatically and is way too loud. Not exactly relaxing! If the sound levels are fixed I’d recommend it. As it is, nope.
- ★★★★★intrusive music and unbalanced audio levels
Able to turn off loud music!. I am changing my review from negative to positive because I discovered that one can now turn off the intrusively loud music/gong sound. While the music is quite beautiful, it was too disrupting. This should be added to the instructions, or the speaker icon should be appropriately labeled. Note To Users: In the upper right corner of the opening app screen, use the grayish speaker icon to turn off the music ONLY for your meditation session. Also, the gong rings in the beginning, but will NOT sound once the voice/session has ended. Thanks for this update! Suggestion: The meditation can be enhanced if one could allow the nature sounds to continue on after the voice has ended.
- ★★★★★intrusive music and unbalanced audio levels
Great app but intrusive music!!. Love the content and delivery of this app, but after purchasing the full version, I am back to using the lite 10 minute version because it does not have the loud, intrusive music at the end. The music disrupts any calmness or centeredness created by completing the program, and interrupts my stillness when I have to open my eyes and fumble with my iPhone to turn it off. Please add the option of removing the music from the sequence, or I cannot wholeheartedly recommend this app.

Yoga Nisra. Useful. Voice could be warmer.
- ★★★★★guide voice and pacing
Daily practice. I am practicing yoga nidra as part of a sadhana. So far, this my favorite app for the practice. The teacher’s voice is steady and soothing. The directions are clear and easy to follow. The result over the last few days has been a very relaxing experience. I will definitely recommend this app to friends and fellow yoga practitioners.
- ★★★★★single track repeated across all durations
One Meditation. When I purchased this app I expected to have for my use more than just one meditation. There are three different times such as 10 minutes, 15 minutes and 30 minutes but only one meditation. The 30 minute one that I used was good. I just wish I had more options as far as the variety as well as an option for a one hour meditation. Overall, For the price it's good.
- ★★★★★single track repeated across all durations
Confusing description. While the 10 minute session is quite nice, the ad copy sounded like the app also included a 20 minute and a 30 minute session. That it's not the case. Only the 10 minute is included. Feeling a little ripped off.
- ★★★★★intrusive music and unbalanced audio levels
Great nidra. The app is wonderful. I usually do para yoga nidra and this one is similar only shorter My only complaint is that there is not an hour long option. The voice and guidance is right on. I Agee that the music is a bit intrusive. But as soon as you start the program ( by pressing the arrow in the middle of the screed) the music subsides and then it is only voice and sounds as you choose.
- ★★★★★guide voice and pacing
Excellent practice. I like having the choice of practice length, as some days I have less time to practice. I do think he moves a bit too quickly through the body scan - more so than other Yoga Nidra practices I have tried. But all in all it is an excellent program, and I love the intro music. I find it very relaxing to come back to the present with that music.
- ★★★★★intrusive music and unbalanced audio levels
Excellent App. Madhav's voice is pure, soothing and unpretentious. The nature sounds are unobtrusive and realistic. Yoga Nidra is a wonderful practice. I like the option of a 10, 20 or 30 minute session. Would like some more background information and guidance on creating an effective sankalpa. Highly recommended app.

On line elementary teacher / yoga teacher. This app is nothing short of fabulous! The voice is calm and steady which helps the practitioner easily reach the relaxed borderline state between sleep and wakefulness.
