Loóna: Sleep, reduce anxiety

Great sleep app! I love it so much. It really helps with winding you down to go to sleep but also entertains you too with it many sleepscapes. There are so many sleepscapes and so many pictures and objects to color and bring to life in each one, paired with a relaxing bedtime tale. If you’re parents aren’t available to read you a bedtime story or sing you a bedtime song then get this app. All of the sleep stories and tales it has will make you feel lots of peace and prepare you for sleep. It also has regular stories with each sleepscape talking about different parts of that sleepscape. And the music is just amazing! There are lots of music choices with each sleepscape that have a theme of that sleepscape. After a sleepscape I listen to a song after to help me wind down even more. And you don’t have to do the sleepscape or music in order. You can do whatever one makes you feel peace and joy and prepares you for sleep. They also have bedtime reminders and health reminders and a bedtime alarm. But it isn’t annoying like the beeping alarms. It plays a quiet to fairly loud song to gradually wake you up. Overall I think this is an amazing sleep app and if you have sleep issues or want something fun and relaxing to do at night I 100% recommend this app. My only negative is that the price for Loóna plus is waaay to expensive. Loóna company if you see this lower the price please! Other that that I had a great time with this app and it definitely helped me with sleep. Relaxing, amazing, app. 😊

As I stated previously in my first review, I am recovering from my near fatal massive stroke that took place just about a year ago on December 19, 2022. I’ve been through so much trauma and chaos that my life has literally been flipped, upside down and then thrown back in the crowd to deal with it head on. It has been a really difficult time for me however, as I stated previously, this app has once again help me reduce my stress And anxiety. I do have one suggestion. Which is I am from the 80s that’s what I was born, 1980, so anything to do with things that took place in the 80s always seems to calm me down. as for example, I can’t recall the exact name of the stories that I listen to on this app, but it was in regards to a boy named, “Matt” which I found to be really relatable. Since that is also my name I would really love to see more stories like those pertaining to things that took place in the 80s such as VHS tapes and the sounds that they make of a VCR going in and out of the VCR and tape players as in cassette tapes. also the sound of rain and a fan I find to be very soothing and relaxing so if that could be worked into a story, somehow, that would be amazing. As well as something to do with the sounds of a incoming snowstorm with light winds as the snow blows and falls down while you can hear the sound of kids playing in the background or stuff like that just for example I’m not really sure how that would work. Just an idea.

Honestly, this app is great. I had serious doubts after reading all of the bad reviews, but I am on day 6 of my 7 day trial and will definitely be subscribing. The issues I see others complaining about are simply puzzling to me. It’s clear none of these people have any idea just how expensive and time consuming the app development process actually is. Most of these apps end up clunky and full of ads. Then you look at an app like Loóna- with the dedication to illustration, story telling, and sensory detail and WOW. I’m blown away. This app is incredible and I can honestly say it’s helped me relax and fall asleep at night. By the third night, I was having difficulty even finishing a sleepscape. The colors and sleepscape details are beautiful, the narration is soothing, and the ambient music is wonderfully relaxing. There is NO other app to compare to this one and as a mental health professional, you can believe me when I say that I have tried them all. I would feel great recommending this app to my clients and will be adding it to my short list of apps I suggest for help with anxiety and meditation. All app developers deserve to be paid, but the developers of Loóna should be paid double. So, I don’t mind subscribing and I really hope others give it a try as well. I have had no problems with my 7 day trial, I’ve been able to try a new sleepscape every night so far (day 6)! I found this app through an ad on Facebook and, for once, am really glad I gave it a shot! 😆
