   I want to rate this highly but. The problem is… Thomas Jones’ voice is on the VAST majority of any of the stories. Almost exclusively. And that would be fine except the reason there need to be voice options is because not every voice works for everyone. Unfortunately, his voice (though I adore a British accent) does the opposite of soothe my mind so I can drift to sleep. There simply are not many other voices to choose from and the ones there are… are not stories I want to play. So this app has to go & I’ll go back to “BETTER SLEEP”

   Where’s the variety?. Please stop using Thomas Jones on every single track

   I love your app.. 5 stars.

4. ★★★★★вылеты, зависания и ошибки

   Broken features.. The background noises don’t work right. They are absent except for “music” which turns off the voice if you use it.

5. ★★★★★негативный опыт без конкретной причины· без конкретики

   Blah. Okay

6. ★★★★★негативный опыт без конкретной причины· без конкретики

   Not free. 39.99 a year and 7.99 monthly

7. ★★★★★триал, списания и возврат денег

   Disappointed. I did the free trial, then requested to have it cancelled before I was due to be charged. They charged me, anyway, and won’t respond to any emails I send. Not very impressed.

   Charges. I did not order a years subscription to this, but have been charged for it. I can not find any way to correct this error. I have canceled the subscription and am still being charged for a year.

   They started using AI pictures. These people used to have nice art for their stories but now they’re replacing them with AI generated images. Very disappointing and very ashamed. AI cannot replace art and the servers used to run AI take too much energy, wrecking the environment! Hoping you people make the change to use no AI. 🚫🤖

10. ★★★★★негативный опыт без конкретной причины· без конкретики

    Not helping. I am not satisfied with the selections offered. Wish to cancel

11. ★★★★★негативный опыт без конкретной причины· без конкретики

    Sound quality poor. You need to listen at low volume but sound is weird on some stories. The guy reading Darwin seems to have a head cold! If you can’t hear the words the effort to decode them is a stressor that nullifies the intended purpose

12. ★★★★★негативный опыт без конкретной причины· без конкретики

    Horrible. I don’t want to buy the vip pass so I only have 2-5 stories to play deleted it in almost 10 minutes but you should try Calm there voices are calmer and you don’t have to buy a vip pass and there are about 135 stories to choose from not worth it easily 1 star

13. ★★★★★негативный опыт без конкретной причины· без конкретики

    Too bad. So many ads now. Wakes me up.

14. ★★★★★негативный опыт без конкретной причины· без конкретики

    Onboarding. Dislike the onboarding process. I just want to browse content and make my own choices. Absolutely not interested in another reminder. Beyond child/adult, age is irrelevant. Hate having to include/ exclude voice actor after5 second sample.

15. ★★★★★подписка и платные ограничения

    Used 3 days didn’t like, won’t refund me. I think it’s absolutely ridiculous that I use this app for three days, and the company is not giving me a refund. I will continue to write bad reviews.

16. ★★★★★негативный опыт без конкретной причины· без конкретики

    NO. Do not buy this. Period. Let me explain, when I pause or stop my story, IN FIVE SECONDS IT WILL PLAY AGAIN. My point is, I looked at some reviews saying that they have the same problem. I know I’m not the only person having issues….

17. ★★★★★негативный опыт без конкретной причины· без конкретики

    Bakery storyline. Doneg

18. ★★★★★подписка и платные ограничения

    My review. It’s an okay app my only downside is that there’s not enough stories for the non-premium people

19. ★★★★★негативный опыт без конкретной причины· без конкретики

    ???????. Maybe just let everyone have 7 days without subscribing (as in nothing to cancel) that way if we want to continue we can subscribe! Marcelous put me to sleep but I cant test his other stories…..🙄

20. ★★★★★не хватает нужной функции

    Meditations are great… When they have narration. I have several on several of the meditations that should have narration to them things like “a sleepy history of time making” and after sending multiple emails have still not been fixed. Furthermore, when you quote, give feedback and quote it sends an email and pops up saying to give them 24 hours to respond yet it has been five days and I have sent three emails with no response Update-I have received 2 responses on two different emails I sent now and responded to both.

21. ★★★★★негативный опыт без конкретной причины· без конкретики

    New Content is Geared to Children. I was a big fan of this app for years, but over the past year new content has focused on sleep stories oriented toward children 5 to 10 years old. It seems the customer focus has shifted away from its previous market of adults. I will not likely renew.

    Lacks Critical Standard Features Found In Most Other Similar Sleep Apps. Lacks the ability to make playlists, causing sleep to repeatedly be interrupted and disturbed all night. You can’t blend audio with any other apps and so to keep the sound running you’ll have to run a premium subscription of something like Endel or Moongate in the background set on audio blend because when tracks end, even despite the lack of ability to run a playlist, music still shouldn’t go silent because of the delayed ending feature for the one background track that runs in the background of stories and meditations. Unfortunately, delayed ending feature DOESN’T WORK and hasn’t for a very long time now due to glitches they never fix. I would not recommend this app, at least certainly not in the paid version until the creators take the time to first fix the issues with no playlist feature and the broken delayed ending feature for iOS 16.9… What a disappointment! And so disturbing to a smooth and comfortable night of sleep to have to constantly fumble with the app every 30 minutes ALL NIGHT LONG just to keep it consistently running. NOT COOL SLUMBER! Please fix!

    Missing so many critical features. I love the sleepy bookshelf, so I tried the free trial of this app for a long trip in which I needed to sleep on several airplanes. Plus hotel sleep is never good, I rely on the sleepy bookshelf in hotels for great sleep! But this app, what?? It’s so expensive and there’s no sleep timer. A paid app should basically be perfect. How can an app designed for listening for sleep not have a sleep timer? Or a queue/playlist. You can either listen to one episode, or one whole book. Why not have a queue so I can line up a few chapters of a book? Or a few random episodes? Some sound great by the description but I’m never going to choose one that’s 20 min, bc what if I’m not asleep yet? I have to turn on my bright phone and go searching for another one to listen to. Listening to chapter 2 of A Christmas carol and fall asleep? Good luck finding chapter 3, you have to type it in the search. It should just pop up as your next listen. Honestly it’s s mind boggling how user unfriendly this app is. Will not be purchasing after the trial expires. Update with another comment. I was about to board a 10 hour flight so I downloaded a few episodes. When it was time to sleep, I went to look for downloads. They’re not categorized anywhere. I had to click a bunch of row one by one to see if I had downloaded them or not. It’s just not great on a dark plane, sleepy time, to go scrolling through show by show. Literally every way to use this app is clunky. Which is a shame bc there is really good content. Content: A+ App: F Canceled my free trial.

    Not my fav. I think you shouldn’t have to pay to try to fall asleep and the kid sleep stories are not my fav and there should be a search you should choose what you want to listen to at night also there should be more options for people who don’t want to subscribe also there should be more soundscapes I was very sad when I saw how little soundscapes there were I would not recommend Slumber also the people who responded lied to me also they said there was a wide selection I am very restricted to the stories I listen to at night

    Too expensive. I dont understand why they charge so much! Every. Episode. On. Here. Is. Free. On. Youtube!

    Purchased a subscription but unhappy. I bought a year subscription thinking like most apps, I could log in to my account on another device… well this isn’t the case. I bought it to be able to play on my child’s iPad, we don’t have a payment card attached to her Apple account as she’s 2 and doesn’t need to make purchases… now I’ve wasted $35 because I’m not going to use this for myself…

    It used to be respectable. Edit 3, response to the dev response: Increasing efficiency is not an excuse to embrace genAI. You are using a tool built upon mass theft of artists, no matter how much “human input” is still involved. You claim to not use genAI for any of your audio or scripts, the least you could do is have the same level of respect for visual artists. Having an ethical standard for one art medium but not another is hypocritical. Edit 2: Another review edit in 2024 (years after my first review by now) bringing the app down another star for the sole reason that it looks like theyve been using almost entirely AI art since the tech became widely available. I am an artist and am pretty reliable at detecting genAI images. Shame on them. All other problems and praises for this app aside, one thing I genuinely respected about Slumber was how much original art and photography they used for the covers. Old ones are still there but all newer stories/sounds appear to be using the mass theft machine. Hope they enjoyed saving a few bucks on not paying artists or licensing because now they definitely dont deserve anyone’s premium subscription. They wouldve been better off using blank colored squares as the covers. - - - Edit 1: Editing this review because, while I appreciate that they actually have been adding new free stories like I suggested, they have locked previously free ones. My all time favorite was the Birds of Yosemite. Great narrator, beautiful musings about nature, and it is now locked. Previously permanent free stories should be grandfathered in, even if new free ones since the change are on a rotating basis (idk if they are but i cant think of why else they would lock old free ones). Dreams of Grasmere is also locked now and that one was also pretty successful at helping me sleep. Sidenote, I just checked the premium price and its now $40/yr, which is not as ridiculous a price as it was before - - - Original: This app is fantastic, the stories help my brain focus on the narrative rather than a bunch of inner chaotic thoughts, which helps me fall asleep. I especially love The Birds of Yosemite, which seems to be a reading of an actual published journal of some sort. And it has such rich and beautiful descriptions and the narrator does a wonderful job. The optional sound effects & mixing are also very subtle & pleasant. HOWEVER I have to knock my review down a whole two stars because there is such a small handful of free episodes. Only someone with a superfluous amount of spending money would pay $10/mo for a single sleep app, as much as it may help their (my) chronic insomnia. I would love to fall asleep to more nature journals, or more simple stories like The Cats Journey, but there has not been a single new free episode in the months I’ve had this app. And the problem with listening to the same stories over and over is that your brain starts to tune them out because they are familiar, and instead becomes overrun with thoughts once again and stays awake. If the devs would consider at least releasing ONE new free story for every 5 or 10 new locked stories (new locked stories get released at an impressive rate), I would easily give the app 5 stars.

29. ★★★★★медленная работа и долгие загрузки

    I subscribed at google play but the account cannot be synced at iPad. I like the voice performance at my tablet but why I can’t sign in at iPad with my google account???? Really upset!

    Takes up too much room. I love this app. I’ve been paying for it for 5years? A really long time. Just recently it started taking up too much space (5-6 Gb) I clear it out and it goes right back. I constantly have to go in and delete it. I will not be renewing my subscription in a few month if this issue is not addressed.
