SLEEP by Max Richter

This is great, but the Spotify integration makes it so Spotify thinks I want to listen to his tracks outside of the app or sleeping hours…

I’ve tried a few times to use the fade out option when going to sleep but when I’m air playing to a speaker, when the fade out starts, just as I’m falling asleep, the volume jumps up and stays up instead of fading slowly. This wakes me up and makes me turn it off.

I love Max’s compositions, but this app doesn’t seem to play Sleep in the order that max composed it, which results in jump cuts to shuffled tracks. I’ve tried editing the setup no avail. The app seems to either repeat the same track or shuffle further ahead, which is quite off putting if sleeping, focusing or “meditating”. Please fix this, as the idea and graphics are spot on !

Great idea for an app but a couple of problems with it. First, audio frequently pauses and stutters as it’s loading music from Spotify. When you’re trying to go into a deeper state of relaxation, it can be a little jarring. Second, as it’s streaming via Spotify, it will influence your algorithm. Something to keep in mind if you don’t want to be recommended a lot of similar artists/sounds.

I already purchased the full Sleep album via iTunes, so it is in my music library. I cannot understand why I need to take out a premium Apple Music subscription to use this app? Makes no sense at all!

The fact that I can have the perfect App with music to sleep and with Max Richter all together make it perfection! - have years trying to find something practical and simple in a way to just tap and sleep Away. For me this is Awesome App. Works always well and sync with Apple Watch! Music rhythm your heart beat :) -

This app not only wants to access all my info within Spotify. It also wants authorisation to add or remove my followers within Spotify. Are they serious?!?

Can I please, please, please, please get some idea on an TV version? Have an OLED TV with stereo HomePods… It would be by far the best home for this wonderful app!

The app says that it is trying to connect to Spotify but never ends up happening.

It’s a beautiful app - the music and graphics are stunning - but takes so long to load when you start a meditation session. I have to press play two or three times to commence the session, and the music will often stutter back to being paused. At times it can take up to five minutes to load the music when I can stream the tracks immediately through Apple Music. I’ve deleted and re-downloaded it to no avail. I will definitely download and use future iterations of this app though, I can’t wait for updates which might hopefully bring a more user-friendly experience of it.
