you have to pay for everything. one 10 minute meditation thing is free, but that’s it. it would be different if each “story” or whatever the heck was $1.99 each, but i am NOT going to pay $50 on an app that helps me fall asleep. i can go to walmart and get a sound machine that works better for less than half the price of this, AND i don’t have to keep paying forever, it’s a one time $10 sound machine. whereas this app costs $50 annually, i think like $12 a month, and for a one time fee of $150. im sorry but that’s ridiculous. i understand the authors need pay, but you don’t see real authors making you pay a monthly fee for reading an audio book. over all this app is a great idea, executed very badly. would love to buy the app for a total of $5 one time fee, but $150 is a little over the top. sorry, not sorry.
