TIDE: Meditation, Sleep & Rest Ratings and Reviews

Hello app creators, one thing I really liked about the old version was the ease with which we could switch from the beautiful quote screen to the focus mode with one swipe downward. I know it’s sooo minuscule that I shouldn’t even be complaining but I truly feel like the app was better this way. Please consider bringing it back.

You should also consider adding a function that lets you turn the audio on and off (when you’re not in focus) because I know right now, my audio start playing right away and I preferred the old version where the sounds would come on only when you started the focus.

Other than that, I really love the app, I appreciate the multitude of free options (unlike other apps which give you a very limited amount of free functions). I’m really considering purchasing the premium once I’m more financially stable and can support you guys. For now, great stuff! ♥️

This is a very good white noise app. I use it every night for white noise while I sleep. There are no advertisements, and there are overall very few restrictions on the free version. I have tried many other white noise apps in the past, and I have deleted all of them within a few days because of the very annoying pay walls that they have set up. This is not the case with Tide, which I have been using for at least 1.5 years now. However, in the past month or so, the app has been crashing midway through the night midway. This has caused the white noise to stop, which wakes me up. This has been a huge problem, and I am not sure why it is occurring. Maybe it is because I have an older iPhone (7)? Either way, I hope the Tide developers look into this crashing problem, but to all the readers of this review who are looking for a white noise app, you should definitely try out Tide, as it is one of the best out there if you don’t want to pay to play white noise while you sleep.

Tide is one of a kind and the king of all of ‘em. A truly unparalleled experience when it comes to winding down, meditating, day dreaming and much more!

The versatility of the utilities and the vast array of available sounds makes this a full-packaged app.

A solid app for those who don’t intend in paying for pro versions, but the options are always there for those who do want to upgrade and access additional content. Either way, Tide forces nothing on it’s users when it comes to making additional payments, which makes the whole experience truly mesmerizing (unlike other commercial meditation apps) — the common and primary features are available for free! The app’s UI is developed extremely well by it’s developers, and navigating across the app is as smooth as it gets. Special thanks to the developement and marketing team. A brilliant app!

This app is incredible. I love how it combines a focus timer with sounds and meditation. Makes me feel better that I only have to download one app for white noise, meditation, and a focus timer now because this app checks off all the boxes. I really like how the app gives you a lot of choices with the free version. You get access to a lot of meditation exercises and I think it’s great how you can use the app pretty freely with the choice to pay being an option. Also I like how the focus timer has a lot of flexibility. I like it when I can put my phone down and have the timer run, but the timer stops when I lift my phone. I’ve been looking for apps with this function and I love how this app has it, but I can also turn it to other modes too. Also I love the overall look of the app. It’s very calming to look at!

I love this app and I have had no problems with it. I love everything about it and if you are reading this wondering if you should get the app...WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!! This app is amazing it has helped me so much. I have gotten to truly know me and I’m really enjoying this app. I love that you can set reminders and I also love the quotes it has every time you open the app. Yes there is things that you have to pay for but they give you a wide selection so you don’t have to buy anything if you don’t want to. That might be the only down side but it is only .99 cents so it’s not that much and there is still so much more to choose from. I could go on and on about how much I LOVE this app but you would be reading for days I really think that you should get this app! I also hope that you enjoy this app as much as I do and you can share it with your friends.

Honestly speaking, I didn't understand minimalism until after using this app. At first, I thought it was actually too simple, but after using it a couple times, I got the hang of things and came to appreciate the minimalist design. It has been one of the most useful apps I’ve come across and I use it every day!
UPDATE: I have a couple minor issues with the newest update for a few reasons: First, the nature sounds aren’t continuous loop throughout; you can hear when it stops if you’re doing a long focus session. Secondly, I like that the sounds original app slowly fades toward the end of a session while the new one just cuts it off abruptly. I guess these are not the biggest things you’re concerned about but they go along way in overall satisfaction of the app, at least for me.

Or availability for purchase Would greatly appreciate it for more free sleep sounds. And I don’t mean free for a week or so then locked for subscription only. Considering what’s available for subscription. Our free option is severely lacking. Been with tide for years now the best sleeping app I trust to use because the quality is great. My only standing complaint is not enough free choices for sleeping tunes. Or the option to purchase some sounds were to still be there. Yes I was around when that option was available. Quality sound choices for free are just as important as the subscription choices. It’s been feeling stagnant for some time now and I hope to see this improve.

Update (April 2020): I’ve remained an avid user of the app, but since the layout changed, it has gotten kinda confusing to use for me.

Tide has been my ultimate study partner, it’s the perfect combo of the pomodoro timer and sounds that help me stay focused. I love the collection of sounds, they’re exactly what I want, and the work mode features are amazing. Also the beautiful wallpapers and inspirational quotes each day are exceptional.
My only complaint is that sometimes I will pause the timer and leave the app for a while and come to see that the timer has reset &my progress has been lost, I hope you can fix that. Also it doesn’t give me the option to quit my break and directly jump to a new focus after the previous one ends, and if I exit during the break, it discards the entire focus. Please let me know a solution for that too!

I just can't seem to keep myself on a good sleep schedule. After using for a night I'm fairly confident this will be my key to regulate things a bit. Also I'm going to be starting school soon and it's my first time really taking school seriously, I've been studying some subjects to brush up and I've been using Tide and it really feels like the effect that Tide is going to have on my study and sleep habits and the efficiency I'm gaining in both areas is simply revolutionary. I haven't tried out the breathe and relax section of the app yet but I'm assuming it works just as well as the rest. The app is very user friendly and has lots of customizable options to fit things to your liking. 10/10 strongly recommend!!!

UPDATE: Really love the app, but not the new update. The white noise stops and stutters, and sometimes will cut out entirely. Some of the issues seem to occur around the same time as a notification from another app, but not all of them.

ORIGINAL:
Absolutely beautiful design. Each day you get a new image and inspiring quote. Each "break time" offers a suggestion like "walk around," "drink a glass of water," or "close your eyes." Zero nonessential functions on the screen. All the aesthetic choices are gorgeous.

I have no idea how or if the creator is making money, but there are also lots of updates, each with real new features.

Two suggestions to the maker:

1. Include an "overall study session timer" that runs in the background and displays throughout each study and break time. This way, if I want to sit down and study for, say, six hours in total, I can know how much total time I have left.

2. Get a native English writer (who is good at English, which not all native English speakers are) to look over your description. There are many typos and grammatical errors, which might make this app seem less well-made. That would be a pity, since it's fantastic.
