Ratings and Reviews
A Non-Negotiable for Well-Being
Phenomenal app - simple, clean, and invokes a sense of tranquility that is much needed for a moment of rest (whether during the day or in the evenings). I loved reading up on the foundation, the research behind the compositions, and the journey of the CEO. Functions and features are simply but beautifully crafted. The minimalistic design helps to set it apart because it allows you to be without distractions (no search bar, no loud graphics or visuals that stimulate, etc). Your peace is too valuable to not give this a try.
Basically Pandora with ambient music
It’s kind of like Pandora and plays random songs but it has only relaxing ambient music and plus a calming background image. The music is indeed incredibly relaxing and very good, though they are short, most songs are only 4 minutes and then they change to the next track. I would like the songs to play continuously for at least 30 minutes or 1 hour, and/or with the ability to repeat tracks. And plus, the app is only available free for 7 days and then you have to pay for a subscription after. And I would've like an offline mode as well. I wish there were some free content at least, or allow users to look at banner ads to access content in exchange. I enjoyed the peaceful ambient music though.
Developer Response ,
thank you so much for your thoughtful review, jeff. we’re happy to hear you’re enjoying the music and finding it relaxing. sona’s music is created using a compositional process that has been scientifically shown to increase alpha waves in the brain putting a listener into a state of relaxation.
please note that once the free trial has ended, there is an option to continue on the free version (or upgrade to premium). great feedback on offline playback - we are indeed currently working on that feature, to be available in future builds.
Wonderful!
I’m so grateful to have been introduced to this App. I truly believe that it is important throughout the day to be still and take a moment to recenter your body, mind and soul. This app is a perfect tool for that. The variety of experiences and sounds brings you to a present state wherever you are. After using this app I’ve felt an overwhelming sense of calmness and clarity. I will continue to use this app, I’m excited to see where it will take me!! Amazing!
