Ratings and Reviews
Fantastic App
I highly recommend this app for anyone interested in using sound therapy to help you relax, focus, meditate, and even energize. It’s also a great tool for people who are into astral projection or gateway meditation.
Each sound is researched and customized for different effects. The app is easy to use and offers lots of options to customize your own sounds if wanted.
Some of the things I love about the app are the explanations for each sound, the ability to adjust the timer, the ability to turn off the screen and continue playing the sound, and the option to favorite different sounds. I also really like and the visual presentation and layout.
Lastly, the creator is very responsive and helpful.

😍 Thank you for writing such a great review. Happy to know you find value in Shimmr!
Excellent app! Just a few wishes
I love this app a lot! I got a free Premium subscription for 6 months from the developer, and I will absolutely be paying to keep it after the fact.
It’s intuitive and easy to use, and it looks very clean too. I like the array of sounds and the fact that I can set a sound to go for as long as I need to. It’s very easy on my battery too so I can leave this on all night if I want.
A couple things I wish this app would have (not necessary and not a detractor, just a personal wishlist hehe) is 1.) the ability to add sounds to a mix (maybe this is already present but I didn’t see a way to do so), for instance if I wanted to listen to binaural beats but add in rain or a thunderstorm over it. 2.) I mostly use this on my iPad and it’s not built for said device; the bottom of the screen is cut off. Not a dealbreaker, just kind of a “huh” thing.
Again though it’s a brilliant app that doesn’t NEED these things, they would just be the cherry atop an already delightful cake :)

Thank you for you very informative review. The intention is to make it work for ipad and also add custom some creation at some point! Really happy you enjoy the app 🙏
So helpful!! But sad it now costs so much
I use this app every night and often during the day. It helps me sleep and with anxiety. Easy to use and live the option of being able to use it behind other apps (podcasts in my case). Thank you!!!!
Edited: I’m so very sad that it is now a pretty pricey app. I don’t blame you, you should get paid. I just can’t afford an app fee right now. Great app tho.
