Horribly intrusive and frustrating to use.
I love this app and use it each night for sleeping and waking. There does seem to be a small glitch however. The app doesn’t seem to always stream Max Richter’s Sleep via iTunes. Occasionally I will start Sleep and it will play music by another Artist. Which is OK as you can just restart. Waking up to heavy rock music instead of Max Richter is a little different though.
I’m not sure what happens, but the app will stop playing music. The only way I have found to solve the issue is to reload and reconnect. I’d love to give five stars, because it is worth that, but the functionality detracts from the overall.
I love Max’s music and this app, but for some reason I don’t seem to be able to get it to work on Apple Watch to read/sync to my HR. This is very frustrating as it is a great idea!
First time reviewing an app. Nice relaxing music
This app hijacks your spotify and will start shuffling max richter songs even when you try to listen to other songs. Not sure if this is an intentional feature to generate revenue for the developer or a bug, but i really regretted giving permission to this app to control my Spotify. There’s no way to revoke access on the mobile app, so you have to get back to your computer to take back control of your Spotify. Don’t forget to clear playing queu after revoking permissions, app populates the queue with its tracks too.
I’ve heard Max Richter’s 8 hour work SLEEP live. Brilliant. This poor and clunky app is not good. Every edit point can be heard. Startling jumps from section to section is not acceptable in a medium supposedly used to help with sleep or meditation. The techies need to get a grip with this. Richter wouldn’t be happy.
This app would be great if it hadn’t taken over my Spotify account! Now if I play any music even if it is in a playlist immediately after Max Richter’s ´Sleep’ plays. I’ve deleted the sleep app & still my Spotify account constantly plays the Sleep music.
Having used this app for a few nights, I don’t entirely trust it to do what I think it’s going to do. For example: It says it will learn from changes that I make to the volume. But in fact, it takes over control of the system volume, so I can’t change the volume. If I try to change the volume, the app immediately changes it back. If I quit the app altogether (by ejecting it from the app switcher view), it will still sound an alarm as originally scheduled. This is a surprise, because I thought the alarm would sound only if the app was running. Sometimes it gets stuck into repeating a few seconds of audio. I can’t tell (in the middle of the night) if it’s replaying the beginning of one track, or skipping between tracks. Lastly I’d request that the various options are made more discoverable on the GUI, since they have such a key impact on how the app behaves once playback has started.
I have downloaded this app and I have an Apple Music subscription but I cannot get this app to work. It keeps telling me I need an Apple Music subscription for that app to work. I HAVE an Apple Music subscription!
