Pzizz - Sleep, Nap, Focus 应用的评论

(TLDR; charges you without providing anything. Sad because it used to be good.) First used this years ago. It was really helpful, but eventually I didn't need it anymore. Got out of the habit of using. Recent events and illness have impacted my sleep, so I thought this would be a pleasant and nostalgic return to something that helped in the past. Nope. The app begs for money now. Thought "sure, why not, I'll buy a year. It's a good app." Nope. Took my money without giving me any access to any of the paid features. The begging for subscription looks pretty... that was important to someone in development. Too bad the actual delivery of content to paying users wasn't of similar priority.

I’m putting 5 stars because I do really like it, when I could have it. but it will not let me in the app. Which I have tried everything to get back in. I can’t pay to have the premium and can’t pay for the trial. I think it’s basically kicked me out. I mean I press the app and whenever I try to sleep nap focus or anything, it goes to the payment page. This is really hard and disappointing if not fixed. Please please please, developers please fix it! Please respond! I am jobless and don’t have money, I need the sleep and it’s helped me so so so much. I keep on trying, if this keeps up where you give them a week to have it and then make them pay…I know so many apps and company’s that have done that and have gotten sued a lot. Please don’t MAKE ME PAY. It says my app status is FREE! Then why isn’t it free? Please developer, I’m begging.

I have to make myself go to sleep at weird times when I travel all over the world and I don’t know what I would do without this app. It puts me to sleep in five minutes. I also play it with all three grandchildren and they fall asleep within minutes. It’s the best I’ve ever tried and I’ve tried them all! Love love love this app!!!

They have quit development as far as I can tell. It started out strong many years ago but basically have done no further creating of content for sleep.

I am using this app for the first time, it keeps randomly switching the playback from my headset (both Powerbeats and AirPods Pro) to my iPhone. Completely negating the whole point of the app! Fix this please

I use it almost every day at work to keep me focused. I don’t sleep a lot (pain issues) and the “Focus” movement music keeps me on task vs. putting me to sleep. I’ve no idea how one writes purpose-driven music, especially the Focus aspect without either making it obnoxious or inadvertently putting me to sleep, but they pulled it off in spades.

I’ve actually used this app for over 10 years? I want to say? I don’t know but it’s been a looong time. I LOVE Abbe’s voice, and Anna’s hypnosis; The journeys and the myths. One of my favorites is “the wardrobe of your feelings” where I pick out clothes (in my mind) that will make me feel my most confident 💁🏽‍♀️ I fall asleep thinking about the best version of myself and after all these years I’m actually turning into that person day by day and I credit Pzizz with a lot of that (not to be dramatic). Other favs include An Inca Journey With an Alpaca, and The Rockabye Railway. Who doesn’t want to fall asleep on a soothing train ride? By the time Abbe gets to the part about hot cocoa I’m usually out lol. I use it for sleep at night, meditations during the day and when I started I didn’t have kids but now I have two daughters and they also know when it’s a Pzizz kind of night. It’s not a punishment of any kind! It’s a treat! They’re only 5 & 6 but they know it works. They love Daughters of The Air, Alice Underground, Petite Snow White and many others. My fav soundscape is still Classic Pzizz Sleep - the binaural beats are top notch. Thank you Pzizz for an app that is stress free to use (this part is so important - can’t stress this enough), the wonderful stories, and the voices that I’ve come to associate with coziness and calm. It’s perfection or I wouldn’t still be here 10+ years later. I check the “new” list all the time and I’m delighted anytime there’s anything new because I know it’s going to be awesome.

What is one good night of sleep worth to you? I wish everything I like was free or really cheap. Unfortunately, none of it is... This app is great for helping me with sleep. The developer is constantly making it better. That is important for me as require it to be different at times. I love how this app keeps going for as long as I want. Many competing products last a few minutes... useless. It is wonderful we have options. I hope everyone finds a sleep app that works for them. I find this app to be a very reasonable price for what I receive. Keep up the great work guys. This newest update is amazing!

I’d buy it

It really is a great app. I have never had any technical problems with it. It introduced me to a very ingenious and healthy way to handle bouts of insomnia. Also how to nap properly. Just long enough to wake up refreshed and energized. Unfortunately the subscription costs are now out of my price range. That’s basically the way it goes with almost anything. Especially with technology. So it’s great stuff. A really good app. If you subscribe then it won’t be too long until you have your butler install it on all your smartphones

I use Pzizz mostly for taking a break in the afternoons to recharge with a Power Nap. The app makes it easy to set how long you want to rest, and it magically uses the sounds to bring me gently out of sleep feeling recharged. It’s the best sounding app I’ve used for sleep, and it makes it easy to specify how long I want to rest. Love it!

At times I just need a cat nap and don’t have all the time. This gives me a hour rest in 15-30 minutes.

I’ve had Pzizz since 2014 and it’s the best of it’s kind in the App Store. I’ve downloaded and deleted many like apps over the years, but this one has been a keeper since day one. Two big thumbs up!!

Love the app, but it’s not letting me subscribe. It’s stuck loading the renewal notification and won’t progress from there. There is no way to notify the developers other than leaving a review. So I hope they respond soon.

…every time I open it. Annoying. Latest update confirms this is purposeful, not a bug, boo.

This app has become my secret weapon! It’s crazy how often I’ll pull it up for short naps. Super soothing highly recommend

From night time routines with the kids to just getting a perfect nights rest, this is our family’s jam!! Bingo!

I absolutely love this app! The music and voice and narrative are amazing. The only complain I have is about specific background called Breathe - midway thru the nap it has bells ringing which usually wakes me up… that sound does not seem appropriate for sleeping, it should be used to waking . Otherwise - it is perfect!

I like the app. Even the free version, which is limited to two sound tracks, is able to get me to sleep on those odd nights when it doesn’t happen naturally. The app is kind of at a disatvantage when it comes to rarings, in that it’s only used when people want to go to sleep and the last thing they want to do is take the time to rate an app, I’ve had pzizz for several years and I’m finally getting around to lettting them and you know that it’s pretty good.

I’ve downloaded many sleep apps before, and nothing compares to Pzizz. I fall asleep quickly. I can’t recommend this enough.

I really love Pzizz! But the new version is crashing. Every time I go back to the app when my meditation is playing, the app crashes every time. Please fix this crashing issue.

Didn’t move over when I switched to iPhone no obvious way on figuring how to

From my wife and to our small children who sometimes cannot sleep, this app works for all of us. My children ask for “The sleepy app” 🙂 It works very quickly.

What a calming and guiding voice (and sounds). Now, the cadre of vocal guides don’t impart calm or sleep. I won’t subscribe again. 🥲

For what it cost, it’s really not worth the money. There are better apps out there for sleep. This one is overpriced, and doesn’t have a lot of options.

This app is so darn good. I hit the sleep button, and within about 15 minutes I was sound asleep. I am only awake to eat a midnight snack, and to write this review. I have ADHD, and this app helps with that as well. Keep up the good work, and keep updating it as often as you possibly can.

So so important to me. This app is often a part of my day. A quick nap reboot / refresh, timed to be sure I do not over do it. Glad I have this useful self care tool

Great App, one of my Best, Helps my throughout the day for focusing and Napping .. Highly recommended

I’ve been using this for years back when there was only one voice. And it trained me to be able to sleep quickly and now all I have to do is put it on every once in a while to reinforce my training. It’s also perfect for power naps. You won’t regret it if you use it consistently.

I like it. It works for me.

I have been using Pzizz for 3 years now, and it really helps me fall asleep faster.

This is an awesome App. I like how you can change the volume of the voice and the background separately. You can really mix your own sleep meditations according to where you want to be in nature and what meditation you want to do. I love the wake up feature that pulls you out of the sleep realm as well. This App uses wonderful meditation techniques from mindfulness practices from the Buddhist traditions. It will definitely improve your anxiety, help you calm your mind and body and sleep!

The first couple times I used the app for napping were phenomenal. Then the audio changed to a different track a few days later and I found it very difficult to use. Something about the new speaker jerks me awake multiple times during the 20 minute recording. Not having a subscription, there’s nothing I can do about this. I get that the company needs to make money, but in my case, they’ve rendered the app unusable. Guess I’m napping the old fashioned way for now

I downloaded this app so I could sleep better. After a few days I got a pop-up saying I had to purchase the subscription to change anything. Why is changing your settings for the sounds locked behind a paywall? I mean, I know you have to make money somehow but locking any customization is a bit far in my opinion. Now I’m not able to sleep well with it because I can’t customize any of my sounds. It’s truly annoying. If you will even take my review into consideration, I have an idea. Let people customize their sounds but make it slightly gated. What I mean by this is let people choose the categories they want a random sound from and if they want to choose a specific sound, that can be gated. It makes it so it’s not too much behind a paywall but enough that users are able to actually use the app well after their free trial ended. If you take my idea into consideration, maybe I’ll consider re-downloading the app.

So I love this app helps me to sleep ever day!! And I like changing it and I use to be able too like I would be like I want Bethany voice ok I’ll change it or I don’t feel this sound today I feel like a snowy sound and now it’s making me get a subscription to change everything!!! Like it’s making me mad might delete cause it’s annoying cause the ad I’m pretty sure said you can do this for free and that only some stuff can be money if u want premium but the things I’m doing and HAVE done before are now making automatically try and get a subscription super annoying but the app is good relaxing voice and yeah!! Really good for people with anxiety and can’t sleep <3 but the subscription thing UGHH!!!

I love having Pzizz with me so I can sleep and not be sleepy at school so I can I can do my homework and I can sleep with this on it helps me calm my mind down so I can study more now,I’m have been the best kid n class and my teachers love me and I get my homework done fast.

Definitely a 5-Star rating!!! Have had this app for several years and enjoy it every night. The selections to choose from are great and I sleep like a baby!! Thank you PIZZ for making MY SLEEP TIME AWESOME!!!!

One tap and I fall asleep immediately

Garbage. Only moderately functional anyway. Then demands $50/yr. 0/5 stars.

I’ve used this since 2008 and have been through all the changes. It’s literally allowed me to make more money working better paying shifts and has gotten me through two newborn periods Now the music starting and stopping causing me to wake every 12-15 minutes is unbearable…

Whether it is sleep, nap or helping to focus during my work, Pzizz is excellent. I really like the sleepy history series as well as the mindfulness and meditation tracks but appreciate the variety of types of sleep tracks offered and ability to adjust voice and music/background volumes separately. I do see some areas where improvements could help, though. 1) I would appreciate other options for ways to pay than yearly subscriptions. This is an app I would like to use for years, so being able to flat out purchase it, with the option of purchasing additional track bundles rather than only the subscription options would be appreciated. The developer response did not address this. 2. I also wish there were more variety in speakers available for nap tracks: most options only have a single female voice available. Having more options for male voices voices would be appreciated. The developers state they are working on this. 3. I would really appreciate the ability to mark the few backgrounds or vocals that I dislike. There aren’t many, but it would be nice to use the randomization feature without it picking a few of the tracks that don’t well for me. There’s one main one I can think of where the sound comes on intermittently enough that it tends to disrupt my sleep every time the sound kicks in unless i specifically choose what soundscape to play. The developer response stated there is a dislike option but maybe that is android phone only as I have the latest iPhone version and my only options are to delete it or mark it as a favorite. One thing I have enjoyed over subscribing the last year is how much the program has expanded the different narratives available.

The app only gives you 1 track free and the rest needs a subscription. Would have liked a few songs free, I am low income so I can't afford it

I fully paid for this app when it first came out. I even paid the apps for when it was sold as Sleep and Nap separately for my other apple product. Now the original app does nothing. I deleted and downloaded the app. Of course now it asked for sign-in and subscription. I skipped all of that. I get to the SLEEP, NAP, FOCUS screen. I selected nap and the desired length of time. I clicked the check mark and NO AUDIO. I can see something running because I see bar graph moving (raising/lowering). Similar thing is happening on my other apple product. As per Apple requirement, developer’s can eventually upgrade to subscription but the for the ORIGINAL purchasers get grandfathered in providing only all the features as the original. One thing still working, the ALARM. It sounds off when the selected time lapsed. So please fix it!!!

Used to be such a wonderful app. Even with the free version it would put me to sleep. All I can hear now is the narration. No background music. The older version with a volume control for voice and music was wonderful.

This app is a game changer for me. The narration and sounds are wonderful, and you get a variety to chose from so you can pick which sounds work for you personally, plus have something different each night. Their app support is really great too; I was having a hard time figuring out some of the finer details of how it works, and they immediately got back to me with a super clear, kind, and easy explanation of what to do. Last night I had the best sleep I’ve had in ages, and it’s thanks to this app. I HIGHLY recommend it! Betty 👍🏻😴🥰

An effective and well thought out app, Pzizz has been helping me nap easily for years! If you want to set good sleep habits you can’t go wrong here

I was pinged to renew my annual subscription and decided against it. I’ve had Pzizz for almost 12-months. The stories are interesting and I enjoy the majority I have heard. However the “music” selection one can choose to pair with the story is often macabre sounding to me. Not all of it, but I find it to be monotone, synthetic random sounds. Hard for me to explain but If there were soft instrumental music and / or a selection of nature noises w/ music to add to keep playing after the story, I would have renewed. There are other sleep apps which offer this, and are actually less expensive. They also offer endless stories…I hope you consider this in the future for those who prefer different “music”.

The dings, tings and bells jerk me out of sleep during my naps. Wish I could turn them off.

It’s so soothing to hear right before falling asleep!
