My Off Switch - Insomnia relief
8.3 | 1.2
I'll be honest with you.. unless you're lying in bed trying to sleep, you're not going to enjoy this app. If you're sitting in front of the TV playing with your phone, you'll delete it the minute you hear the synthesized voice.
But this is the high tech version of counting sheep or a bedtime story. It talks to you, to distract you from all the planning and remembering you do when you're trying to sleep. It doesn't read a story, it reads randomised text. So it isn't possible to get carried away listening to the story and it doesn't get stale. And the way the audio jumps around from one part of the story to another just throws your inner homunculus into a state of confusion and makes it give up and go to sleep. It's this same effect that sends people to sleep in bad presentations.
It works well, and there's nothing else like it on the market.
