4 years ago, Well its just me

My new favorite

I recently learned that my Pzizz subscription also works with this app, so I gave it a try and it’s already become my favorite. It’s fast to set up a “sleep soundtrack,” and they do help me fall asleep faster. So many options to choose from too! It’s well worth checking out! I do have a couple suggestions for changes. First, I’d love a favorite mix to be able to include a sequence of spoken tracks instead of just one. I’d love to be able to delay the start of the spoken track as well.

One of my most used apps.

Not only is this app super functional and effective, but they update it all the time with new content and are incredibly responsive with feedback and suggestions, and seem to try hard to make things better for you as an individual. Great folks. Great content, everything from sound effects to binaural tones to industrial sounds to great sleep music.

Loved it but far to expensive :(

Its a great app and ive tried dozens like it, I love that this one has such soothing ambience, not like others that just have a bunch of annoying pianno loops. Unfortunatley once the trial ended i couldnt use a thing or even get back in it. I understand it was a trial but I assumed the free version would just be limited selections and could still use some. Im sad as I really fell in love with it but just cannot afford subscriptions like these. I would love it if developers created a free version of something similiar with a few features, they are deff on right track with there sound apps and wish others had there vision.

AWESOME BUT...

First things first, I just downloaded this app earlier this morning. This app was great! I loved that I could literally make my own happy space. Mixing together sounds to create an environment tranquil to my own ears and mind. After getting home from work I decided to use it for meditation for the night. I remember tapping the “X” in the left corner when the subscription ad popped up earlier, but when I reopened it I had no other option; I could only pay for the full version or nothing else. Heck I even uninstalled and reinstalled it, sadly nothing changed. It was nice while it lasted though.

More stories/voices

Love this app. I’ve had it for over 2 years and I listen every night to sleep. Hoping the developers can add some new stories and voices soon. Some of the stories are great but the voiceover option is not very pleasant to listen to. Still love all the options. Love this app! Just more voice options please!

Perfect compliment to Pzizz - or as a stand-alone!

I have used Pzizz to fall asleep for years. Since it was a desktop app that output MP3 files, actually. Now I use it on my phone every night. If I happen to wake up, I have a saved Soundly favorite I’ve built that helps me fall right back to sleep and keeps me asleep through the night. I love this (these) apps!

Fantastic app, very accessible with VoiceOver

I've been a Pzizz user for many years so was excited to give this app a try. As a blind user, I'm concerned about VoiceOver accessibility but fortunately, this app seems very accessible. Absolutely love the fantastic sounds, it's clear that a great deal of work has gone into making this app awesome.

Great App!

I found the app itself very useful. The guided meditations are excellent, especially the sleep ones. However, this app will charge you a year upfront for the subscription once the free trial is up. Be careful and make sure to cancel before they charge you if you do not wish to pay the year up front.

Not free

This app is really nice and helped me get to sleep for a few days, but after a while it will lock you out behind a paywall. I would love to keep using it, but I really can’t afford to pay $60 a year for it, and would’ve liked to know that was a requirement up front.

Amazing but it’s too expensive

I loved the app when I first got it. The sounds were really pretty and really helped me fall asleep and relax. I find that (and i’m sure a lot of other people do too) that it’s too much money to subscribe. You could make the free version locked away from a few things and make the monthly subscription thing cheaper and i’m sure you would get more customers.

Keeps making me log in.

Wonderful app, lovely, and very useful. However, I log in with my pzizz account and everything is fine. But the next time I open the app I’m logged out and have to log in again. How can I stay logged in to Soundly with my pzizz credentials?

Amazing...but pricey

I loved this app. Was amazing being able to mix and choose what worked best for me to drift off to sleep too. I even loved the pre-made sessions as well. 7 days was more then enough to get me hooked. Downfall is the price is just more then what I am able to afford. Would still recommend for sure. But I just can’t see spending the money for this at the price right now.

“Alexa, play sleep sounds ocean sounds.”

This is really cool! I would say that this has the same sounds when you turn it on your Alexa! There is even rain sounds and probably more to discover! I want to ask. Did you make that amazing Alexa skill?

Fantastic Sound app!

Complex enough to allow for extremely varied types of background sound, but simple enough to navigate quickly.

5 years ago, ecvaycay

LOVE it!

I love that you can layer sounds for your own sound experience. The variety is great and the stories are creative and calming. My savior is the “back to sleep” meditation for nights when I wake up at 3am!

5 years ago, BuffalonianJohn

Really is helpful for sleeping

I love the way I can loop the stories. I wake up here and there and am able to easily fall asleep again. Love the frequent updates,

I used to love this app

Being a college student, focus is absolutely necessary for success in classes, and using this app gave me the focus and the precision I needed. Now that the creators put up a paywall, looks like I’m going to have to find a new app to use and love. Will not recommend this app anymore and my family members have already deleted off of their phones as well.

Tricky pricing- Scam

Under the pricing menu it says Soundly Weekly- $2.99 Daily. All I know is I was being charged by Apple 2.99 all the time and finally figured out it was this stupid app dinging me left and right. I cancelled but it charged me again today and says my plan will cancel July 6. So I guess I’ll be charged 2.99 daily for another week. No way to stop immediately ???

This app is a scam.

I use white noise so I can fall asleep because it’s loud in my dorm. I thought this was a normal free white noise app, but apparently you get automatically signed up to a yearly $60 charge. I’ve only had this app for a few months and now I have to pay $60?! Not cool. I obviously wouldn’t have gotten it if I had known I’d be charged. I reached out to their email but didn’t get a response. Disappointed.

I liked it but...

I really like this app. It worked the first time I opened it. But then, when I went to open it up again, it required me to pay to use it's features. I'm not paying. I don't know why you guys changed this app, but I don't like it and I uninstalled it.

Worst app, limited sounds

Don’t bother downloading this app, with their selection of sounds the app should be free. Not worth it at all. Additionally the company is shady, I downloaded the app for the 7 day free trial and they automatically charged me $60 the second I downloaded. I can’t get a hold of their support team and they do not respond when I asked for a refund because I didn’t want to use the app.

This is weird.

This feels like the guy at the bar who thinks buying a drink means sex. I think there’s nothing wrong for wanting to be paid for the work you do but as a company I think it’s wrong to hard sell before providing value. It wouldn’t hurt to have an extremely limited lite version. Then the main complaint you get would be instantly put to rest.

Incredible meditation app?

While it has lots of meditations it’s definitely a lot more than just a meditation app. The amount of content is crazy. So much to explore!

Simply the best

I have used most, if not all of the sleeping, meditating and focused based applications. This one has the flexibility and focus to address any situation and need.

5 years ago, cm1462

Deceptive. Be careful.

When I’m half asleep looking for some white noise while traveling, I apparently don’t make careful choices in apps. Appears to be “free” but will charge you a rip off price of $60 after one week. I don’t even remember seeing the notification, but’s there. This app is not forthcoming and overcharges for what it is. Best look to many of the other actual free options.

Soundly is Amazing! I love the stories for naps!

I love using it for short naps and meditations. It helps me feel refreshed and calm.

It’s great but

It really helps me sleep at night. Before, I would constantly have troubles falling asleep. It’s great and all but it costs way too much

Pointless

I downloaded app and didn’t have the white noise sound I wanted. Deleted app same day and never used again. I had no idea the app cost 60$! Way over priced for what the app offers! Don’t be scammed like me. I tried to request a refund and no response from developer. Over all terrible app!!

Create your own relaxation

Lovers of Pzizz will enjoy this app. The soundscapes are appropriate and well paced. Building your own comforting sound or focus environment is made easy with soundly.

Cannot sleep without it.

Chronic pain sufferer here and this app is a godsend.

Too expensive

Seems like a really nice app. I would love to keep it but not for these prices. I understand developers need to get paid but what’s wrong with a flat rate to download and keep. No subscriptions! That’s ridiculous for an app like this. I will be uninstalling sadly.

4 years ago, NateLW

Wonderful app

This is exactly what I was looking for in an app for sleep, meditation, and focus. I tried their mesmerize app too but I found that I mostly enjoyed the sounds so this app works better for me. In particular focus music helps me study without getting distracted, unlike a Spotify playlist where I may get distracted to jump from song to song. Keep it up and keep the new sounds coming!

Expensive app

To be honest app is good sounds oky but it is expensive. Should be 4.99$ a month not double of that amount. I’ll pass this one. Not mind paying but don’t want to overpaid. For now I can’t give you more than one star. Sorry!

5 years ago, Sburke2478

Annual fee docked a star

Just don’t want to pay another annual subscription fee right now.

6 years ago, Aloealoegirl

Highly Deceptive

I downloaded hoping I can just use the basic app, but the first screen prompts you to PAY $60 a year!! For white noise? It shouldn't be advertised as a FREE app if you aren’t allowing users to use a basic version for free!

4 years ago, Mydick792

Expensive

I wish it was cheaper it’s not worth the service. It is a cool app though.

5 years ago, christinrenee

Not free.

Says it is free in the App Store, but you have to subscribe $7.99 a month. I was able to fall asleep with it too :(

5 years ago, Keraaa18

disappointing

i loved using this app until it asked me to pay the ridiculous prices . i assumed there would be some sort of free limited section but not even one thing . i refuse to pay for “sounds” .

5 years ago, ORIONFabool

Not a free app

The app is free to download but you have to pay to even use it. *start your trial so we can charge you in 7 days*

nice while it lasted...

it was incredible, and I used it every night until I cleared the app from my queue, and then when I opened the app again, I had to pay to use it. uninstalling it and reinstalling it did absolutely nothing. it was amazing while it lasted, but unfortunately, it did this to me (and others, apparently). oh well, at least I can get it free on YouTube and Spotify :///

5 years ago, evansrwe

Didn’t even try it....

I didn’t even make it past the initial set up. It wanted me to do 7 day trial after which I would be charged the yearly rate of $59.99.
