Community Voice & Feedback
Listening to the sleep stories lets me slow down to get ready for bed.
I paid a month subscription, but got no paid access to thisapp and no response from 2 emails. I thought this app was legit but I guess it’s not.
I subscribed to the free trial which was set to end on 03/31/26. I cancelled on 03/27/2026 and received an email from Calm that my subscription was cancelled and I would have access through 03/31/2026. On 04/01/2026, I was charged for Calm. Total scam like all other apps.
Calm helps me achieve that every night. I can't sleep without it. Between the white noise uninterrupted and the endless sleep stories, most of which I have never heard the ending of because I am out like a Mike Tyson opponent. Highly recommend you try it. My only complaint more stories. That's it.
I have used this app for more than two years now and I have been so impressed with the quality and ease of the app. I love the sleep stories, and the meditations help me wind down at the end of the day. This has to be one of my favorite apps ever and I am on a 756 day streak of using this app it’s that good. 5/5 Great app!

Perfect for kids, as long as they like stories about gay beavers, lesbian fairies, trans napkins, and a host of other they/them characters.
I would’ve given a five star, except since the latest update, the app keeps refreshing and losing my sleep story or mediation. I pay the annual subscription and have been a member for many years since my tbi. It’s frustrating when I wake, go to my phone in another room (protocol), choose a sleep story, only to return to bed, get settled, push play on my AirPods, and the app has refreshed and lost my story. So I have to get up again and restart it. Same with the meditations, I can only meditate for 5 mins at a time so return to the same meditation two hours later, only to find that it’s gone and not saved my progress. On work days, I can go through twenty minutes of meditations, so to go back in and have my progress lost and forget which meditation I was on, is maddening. This is frustrating and I expect better from a paid service. Please fix this so I can give a 5 star rating again.
An almost magical collection of music for sleep, meditation & relaxation. Wonderful, calming stories. I ❤️ this app!!
I need to cancel my subscription and have been unable to do so. I need advice and have no contact. Poor customer service and mis-leading.
Where are they?
This the best meditation app and app for if your feeling anxious and overwhelmed
Literally this and Counseling/therapy are the best things that ever happened to me for anxiety. My recommendation get into a routine of doing this and don’t just do it when you feel anxious because your body will correlate it to you do this when you’re anxious and it won’t be as effective in the long run but if you do it in the morning evening and afternoon. Then you’ll just be a lot calmer throughout the day and
overtime that helps a lot.
overtime that helps a lot.
I like the content of this app from what I used. Paid for lifetime before realizing how bad UI is. Pops up ad for other Calm apps regularly and survey after every sleep story. This is after turning off all notifications and ad settings. Caught me at a low point and I pair a lot for lifetime. Got me more clicks to get to what I want if anything. Just put me where I left off. I may listen to same sleep story a lot and it is very in-calming to have to x out of surveys when I am trying to get to my calming content. Fool me once… not paying for calm sleep app and will be looking for other apps free or pay once, but calmer UI.
I have been using this app since 2020, when covid hit. Experiencing difficulties falling asleep, i was introduced to Calm.
The app has been continuously developed (still is being) with rich content beyond sleep stories. It’s a great tool for mindfulness and self-care.
Highly recommended.
