Ratings and reviews

I hadn't even made it into the app yet before I decided to cancel. The click-through on the TOS, cookies permissions, and account creation with my Google account was like pulling teeth. On verifying my subscription, the app froze and I had to force stop. I wanted to like this app - I have tried many calm/meditation apps and do have clear favorites. What caught me about Tethered was the sounds soundscapes and stories. I wish I had had better luck installing. I will try once more to get in.

So far, I am liking the redesign. The music has always been beautiful, and I think there are a few new tracks to explore.

I thoroughly enjoy the content so far. It's unique, authentic and relaxing. It refuses to work on my phone, however. I repeatedly get a "Tethered keeps stopping" popup. Works fine on my older tablet. Both are Android devices, so I'm stumped as to why! I do wish I could pay for a subscription with Google Play balance. I only see an option for CC/Bank account.
