What Users Really Think About BetterSleep: Relax and Sleep

Transition to subscription model alienated long-time users.

"Paywall — Literally everything is locked behind a paywall"

"Greed destroys good — I have been using this app for 10 years..."

I am absolutely disappointed in this app. I had used this app for YEARS to help me sleep and now I have to pay just to use it and for what?! For all this extra unnecessary stuff. I just wanted the music, I had these custom mixes that were perfect for me. Mixes that reminded me of home and now it’s g...
