Please,Help our legal citizens. 🇺🇸🙏🏼😇🪽 Absolutely love this app, i have downloaded it a few times especially when I need a little help. Mentally, we all get challenging times when we just need help from someone or something. Because bad things happen to to good wholehearted people who can’t get by now. Bidenomics have affected the USA 🇺🇸 In devastating fashion. Most people can’t afford to pay attention or make cents. Look at the difference just four years ago, the cost of everything has over all time highs. Simple price drops, kind gestures like free for two months or even more would make an impact on the people that want the help and serenity, Calm can and does make a positive impact on people that acknowledge and realize what it can do for them. But it is all about the money everywhere you look. Help, is appreciated and by making an effort to help with the perfect app to offer relief helps in two ways, $ & aid to those affected. The extra advertisement and show of support will give you recognition and Calm people who are struggling to put it lightly. I love the app. Money on groceries alone take the benefit of having your app out of my budget. And believing how many people are as stressed and affected, depressed,hopeless and short on money as my family & friends are now. Even for a limited time right now your app would make a huge difference in my life to use full subscription version show that humanity still exists in our country. I don’t know how many people know about your app but I would love to hear people talking about one app that focuses on your mental health and well being made an effort to make an example of empathy and compassion for people who absolutely need it in this disaster we are living through because of an administration cares more about other countries and illegals sucking up our resources that should have been offered to our own citizens and less fortunate and is freely distributed to folks who are buying guns,drugs,and committing horrible crimes & acts to unsuspecting under age children ans robbing and killing innocent people who worked hard for the billions provided to these criminals by this administration. At 52 yrs old I have never received a monthly check or even a single check for $2500 & a free mobile phone and clothes, free flights to anywhere in the USA, free food, hotels and now tax free help, healthcare and access to innocent children and guns and drugs to destroy what was built off the backs and blood of innocent, honest Americans. Even the homeless veterans who fought for this country have never had the opportunity to get a headstart on the life they deserve in this country. For the loss of our fathers brothers sons & daughters who gave their lives for the (citizens) of this country. I’m disabled and since 03-05 I never got handed such a sweet package from our government to live on. I’m getting less than half the amount to support our 5 kids from money forcefully taken from my paychecks over my 52 yrs years and within weeks or days given freely to the unvetted people raping,robbing, killing,& sexually assaulting 12 year old children and partying on our dimes. Our citizens need help in any form we can right now. We need control of our country and help given to our citizens in every way possible. We can’t afford to live day to day from one man’s ignorance and stupidity. Yet i hope God blesses Americans asap. 🙏🏼🇺🇸
It could be way better quite easily I used Headspace for years and loved it. My company now pays for the Calm app so I downloaded the app and used it. There’s one HUGE advantage that headspace has that I think calm could adopt. Any of the narrations that have a soundscape in the background, you have a slider to choose the volume of the narrator’s voice compared to the soundscape. This may not seem like a big deal, but for sleep stories it’s a huge deal. For anyone that uses sleep headphones with Calm, like me, in order to get a nice comfortable volume where you can hear the soundscape clearly, you have to turn it up so loud to where the narrator is too loud. Headspace slider takes care of this perfectly. Unfortunately even though my company pays for Calm, I’d rather pay to use Headapces just because of the slider volume function for sleep stories. If Calm can do the same thing, I’d gladly use their app. But as it is, Calm isn’t for me.
Worst Customer Service & INEPT Employees What a doozy Calm, Inc. pulled on me. So much for “meditation” or “calm.” Calm thought that a year’s subscription at no charge would placate the situation. Not with me, it won’t. One of their employees “accidentally” removed my 3-years long subscription and when they had me create another account, all of my saved data (playlists) vanished. Calm, Inc. apologized ad nauseam but at the end of the day, there went my @postmalone remix of Circles among numerous other go-to favorites. The antithesis of calming to me. It’s more inflammatory. And anticlimactic. And irresponsible. Never again. I’ve removed Calm from every device I own because I’m tired of gainfully employed messing things up for everyone else - with zero accountability. I don’t want $69. I want what I bought and paid for. A contract and agreements work both ways and serve both parties’ interests.
I’m only leaving this review because I don't know where else to comment where the app developers will take notice.
I am a huge calm user but only for the regular meditation / breathing exercise. Not the voice guided meditations. I do a few minutes for so. There’s a simple humming sound when you inhale and exhale, but within the last couple of weeks my phone has been vibrating during the inhale. Which is distracting, and defeats the point of meditation. What’s worse is I can’t figure out how to stop it. I’ve gone to settings, restarted phone, downloaded the latest update, blah blah blah. After some time of hoping it would stop, it still hasn’t. Needless to say I’m not feeling calm. And it’s enough to put me off the app completely after years of consistent use.
Please fix this…
Recent vibration update is terrible This is a great app and absolutely amazing in so many ways and has helped me a lot. However, a couple days ago it started vibrating during breathing exercises and I can’t figure out how to turn it off. There’s nothing in the settings of the breathing exercises that controls this, or the app’s settings, and there’s no way on iPhone to disable vibration in the app for specific apps without disabling it across everything. It’s extremely frustrating because I used to use those all the time but it’s now borderline unusable for the breathing exercises when otherwise it had such a great system for them. Everything else about the app is wonderful and I’m a premium member and will continue to be, but they need to reverse that update ASAP because it ruined a major function of the app :’(
If you’re just starting out with meditation, this app is okay, but it’s not worth the money. You can get far better quality meditation videos on YouTube.
If you’ve “been around the block” with meditation and are familiar with many forms of meditation, this app is not for you. The content is very basic, boring, and sometimes a little jarring. There’s no useful prompts, the UX is kind of weird/hard to navigate (i.e., there’s a specific tab for sleep, but nothing else?) There’s something about this app that feels a little insulting to my intelligence, like the “Daily Jay” feature is really annoying. Who is Jay and why do I care about what he has to say?
Anyway, the one thing I will give the app credit for is the sleep stories, those are really nice. But that’s it.
Bogus Advertising AnticsAnfroint Behoneron2024-03-27 On Calm since 2016, until a few months back. Now in an attempt to get me back, they raise the sticker price to $179.88 so that they can sell it to me at their regular $70 price to look like they are providing a discount in a pathetic money grubbing grab. Not calming. Not indicative of a company concerned with wellbeing.
Good product. Dehumanizing use of people. One star for the immoral advertising antics. I deserve better. I was their very first person to hit 1000 days in a row. (They used to have a leader board. Good idea to remove it. But still.)
Sad to see these tactics. Down the toilet with the rest of the corporate world. I was about to upgrade to the $100 family plan. Not now.
So amazing, BEST sleep app eVeR!!! I honestly love this app it has so many stories, but… There is one problem. There are not enough adventure exciting ones, I go on calm and see that there is a lot of meditation, and just calming music, I know that calm is called calm for a reason, like for calming music duh, but just please add more adventures to the app. I don’t normally give 5 star reviews to a review like this one but I’m only giving a good star review because of the story Spot the Napkin, I listen to it every night and I fall sleep in a JIFFY! So I just wanted to say two things… Thank you for the story Spot the Napkin, and pls make a second! And that is for whoever created that story. So thank you Calm…..
Everything has a beginning… Even gratitude🙃Motivatesu&meon2024-04-01 Try it…I have lived in 7 different countries, 5 different states and been in 3 different war/hot zones. When I am asked how my day is going? My usual response is, “Any day I am not getting shot at and nothing blows up is always a good day.” It is all about perspective.
The CALM APP is something that CAN DEFINITELY HELP to provide meaningful perspective and redirect our focus to a wonderful reminder to RECONNECT with our better selves.
Calm app..reminds us to earn the space that we occupy in our presence. Ultimately, Clam app can put you on the right path to become the best person that you can individually be.

I like Calm, but I think you should add a little more options that are not locked behind a pay wall because I have trouble sleeping, but I’m low on money so I can’t afford to become premium and I think I’ll get a lot better sleep if I had a couple more options like more soundscapes and green noise there are both things behind a pay wall and I would sleep better with both of those things but once again I can’t afford them so I would rate it five stars if there weren’t so many things that weren’t walked behind a pool wall other than that it’s a really great app and it helps me get a little bit better sleep😴😴😴
