Disappointing Experience: False Promises and Poor Customer Service If I could rate this app zero stars, I definitely would. My journey with Calm has been everything but serene. Initially, I was drawn in by the promise of a free trial, only to find myself bombarded with limitations soon after. Despite opting for another 7-day trial as advertised, I was charged a whopping $76.20 immediately.
To make matters worse, 16 days into using the app, I found myself locked out of premium features despite having paid for them. Attempts to restore purchases were futile, leaving me feeling cheated and stuck with a pricey app that's essentially unusable.
Seeking recourse, I turned to Apple for a refund, only to be met with unhelpful responses and denials, pushing me back to the app developer, who have yet to respond.
In short, my excitement for Calm quickly turned to disappointment. Save yourself the trouble and steer clear of this app.
Some medications are good I’m super picky about the voices of those providing guided sleep meditation. I wish there was less from Tamara Levitt which seems to be the majority. Voices I have found soothing are Jerome Flynn, Megan Reitz, Chibs Okereke, Dr. Lopez and Kirat Randawa. But there are only a couple from each of those. For the kids meditation, my child is also super in tune with what they like and prefers the meditations done in the character voices… Like the Paw Patrol and Minions. If you’re a faithful user of the sleep meditations as we are, it starts to get old when you find there are only certain ones you listen to over and over again. I would like the ability to rate those meditations provided and offer feedback.
This is the best meditation app I have been using this app for over four years and it amazes me it’s quality. This app works so hard to be the most helpful it possibly can and they’re adding new things. Every update like recently they added journeys, which is like supposed to help you achieve your goals, and they also have stories for kids and adults to help you sleep there’s so many meditations and overall this is a great app. I only have one complaint is that the stories have been coming out a lot slower lately like even only like once every two months, which is very sad to me, but otherwise you should definitely download this app because it is the best, you’re finally over. This is the best meditation app to get.
This app I have been using for ever! It is my #1 recommendation for help to sleep and calm down from life stress etc, I can now choose from a variety of stories meditations and mornin workouts! I got this app when I started having deep thoughts and my Alexa stories weren’t working and I would wouldn’t sleep well at night. This app is and always will be #1 because, this app like I said has stories, meditations, exercises, and other things like sleep tracking, mood checking,
user use, and sooooooooo much more hope you respond and never give up on this app

Horrible, ad ridden experience This app is completely littered with advertisements. They frequently upsell you.
Open the app? Get shown advertisement for premium service.
Finish a timed meditation? Get shown advertisement for premium service.
For an app that is designed to put people in a better headspace, harassing users with advertisements for a premium service at every turn is a frustrating, and stressful experience.
Just finished a peaceful meditation, feeling relaxed? Here’s an ad for you, buy our premium service. Welcome back to the real world, a-hole.
Terrible app. Would give 0 stars if I could.
Can’t sleep without it.NoWeatherHereon2024-05-03 The Calm app has become an absolute necessity for me. I started using it about 2 years ago when I was having bouts of insomnia. I don’t even remember how I came across the app but I have used it every night since I listened to the first sleep story. I can’t imagine trying to sleep without it. There is something for everyone with this app but my favorite and must haves are the sleep stories. I occasionally use meditation and that is quite varied and interesting as well. I can do without a lot of things but I am never giving up CALM.
I was grieving for a family member when I turned to Calm for some support. I was so pleasantly surprised to find that there are Grief Meditation series’s available ❤️ I shared these with my family because I found real support and encouragement from these! Lama Ron Owens was amazing.
Jeff Warren has the best meditation series. It’s so laid back, there is no “wrong” way to do meditation.
I will be forever grateful for Calm before and during the Pandemic.
Thank you all for what you do. 🙏
Unhappy with the latest updateBrookie Babkaon2024-05-02 I’ve been a Calm user for years, mainly for the sleep stories, and I’ve always considered it worth the cost. HOWEVER, this new thing with the journeys feature is just flat-out annoying, especially how the app automatically opens to the journeys page instead of the home page. I just don’t appreciate it being shoved in my face and I find it counterproductive to getting into sleep mode. Please do something about this because I’m honestly considering canceling my subscription.
highly recommend !!Weird0_notfoundon2024-05-03 id usually be very tired, get in bed, and be ready to fall asleep. but no, that’s not how it works. so… i wouldn’t sleep to well, or have trouble trying to fall asleep. so I decided to get this app called Calm? i put on some rain sounds in soundscapes, and i feel like I’m in a rain forest. (in my opinion that’s awesome.) there are so many choices to choose from. you can meditate, put on a sleep story, or just listen to sounds. you do you. but, overall a really great app.
Calm sleep meditationsJezzabelle Roseon2024-05-06 Some of them are very good, but they don’t change them up enough. The same old voices and meditations. I would like more variety.
The sleep stories are great and there seems to be new stories regularly.
I’m trying to be nice, but some of the women’s voices are syrupy sweet and it’s hard to get into a guided meditation with them and there are not enough others to choose from.
All in all, I do love the app, and I'm on my second year listening. Thank you.
