Relax Change Create Meditation

Read before you complain or mark stars down for the loss of Relax+. I’ve been a customer and fan of Andrew Johnson for a looooong time. I had tracks before Relax+ was even an app. Then I had the Relax+ app for years. Helped me through some serious times. Then I found out it is no longer available. All I had to do was email the company showing I had owned the tracks and they gave them to me on their new app at no charge. DONE! No loss, no complaints. They’re still taking care of us loyal listeners if you just ask. The only down side is the loss of customization. I would combine several meditations to listen as I slept, so I hope in the future (you developers listening?) they do that. It’s what set them apart from the other apps. But other than that I am happy and feel seen.

Purchased Relax+ that had all the meditations in it years ago, went from IPhone to android for a while and was so excited to get my Relax+ app back only to find it’s been replaced with a subscription app? Not cool Andrew, not cool! You were my savior. Is there something I may be missing? Has it been renamed or is this it and you now have to pay for a subscription?

Relax+ was one of the only apps on my phone that I paid for, and I would pay for it again and again. This new app does so much less than the old app did for so, so, so much more money. Why would anyone pay over 200$ to have less control over their experience than we had before? I really hope someone decides to return to the old model that worked so well and helped so many people. I miss my old favorites but there is no way I will pay for this new version.

Even when I close. I downloaded and reloaded the app. Nothing seems to work.

It worked for one night. Now when I go to play a meditation, the screen goes white. Even when I force closes the ap it still remains white. I have reinstalled it twice and the screen still goes white wherever I go to open play a track. Waste of 10 bucks! I’m poor and sad.

The previous app had full customization and was an absolute staple in my life. I don’t know how long it has been gone but I reinstalled a bunch of my apps to try and help with memory and that one wouldn’t come back. Came looking for the new version, happy to see what they added, and to my horror this app doesn’t offer any of what I had on Relax+ I could change the volume of the music relative to the talking. I could sent the overall length, the intro had several options, the outro could be wake or sleep. Andrew Johnson has the best voice and approach in the game. But this is just a worse version of the calm app. I am absolutely devastated and will check back regularly to see if they have added back the custom feature, but I will not be paying a dime for this.

For a monthly subscription , or costly lifetime membership, you get many “30 day” meditations, like calm, stress relief, sleep-related, confidence etc, plus some groups of 10 meditations or whatever. At this price point, they desperately need to add in the ability to end the mediation with a sleep or wake, as in his stand alone apps. Many of them are wake or worse yet, don’t tell you whether they’re sleep or wake. Also, I would much prefer more single meditations. He has excellent scripts, focusing on making you feel the right way so your subconscious believes it and helps you to achieve the goal of the meditation. But for the price point, we need a sleep/wake option, maybe a little bit better organized list, maybe the ability to choose some light music in the bg, things of that nature. There is potential here, hope they make the improvements, I’ll re subscribe when they do.

Buyer beware, I purchased the app previous to this called Relax +. However it is no longer available in the App Store, which means your lifetime purchase may result in the same thing as that was also a “lifetime” purchase.. although the price was less b/c it was before developers realized they could bank so hard on people who just need/want some help to have a richer life. I will say that I did enjoy that app very much as it gave a lot of customization for every component of the meditations (hence the 3 stars) but now I have to buy a whole new app?? Or shell out a monthly subscription?? Or buy single topic apps?? I’m not down with the greedy cash grabs and replacing products that force customers to buy again. I will find something else. ✌🏼

I hope they read the reviews, I purchased the lifetime membership (a considerable investment) and I am disappointed to find most sessions ends up with a “wake up” why not have alternatives of sleep or wake and also a choice of music or no music? I would recommend future buyers be aware of this before investing, having said that the quality is as usual great with the mellow voice of Andrew Johnson, just please listen to you public!

The app it terrible. A year later and there is still no way to track, favorite, etc. it is very clunky and I regret paying for a lifetime subscription.
