App is a scam. More money taken out than advertised. Half the meditations dont load even though I paid premium. Ai voice content. Its a basic meditation app, nothing psychadelic as they claim.

SCAM!!
SCAM!!! They stole 201.74 cad from my bank account in 3 multiple charges from advertising in insta. In advertising price was $24. This is fraud and I blocked my card. A lot of people have the same problem. Maybe we all should go to court with this? If I don’t get my money back, I’ll speak about this everywhere and find another people who lost their money.
UPD. they told they send my money back and I didn’t get my money back from them. We already had conversation on email after they stole my money. This reply here from slowdive is just automatically. So, where is my money Slowdive?

We understand how upsetting this situation felt, and we’re truly sorry for the stress it caused. A full refund has already been issued, and depending on your bank, it may take a few business days to appear on your statement. We know waiting is frustrating, but the funds are on their way.
If anything still looks unclear on your end, please share your subscription info or transaction screenshot with us in the in-app/web chat or at support@slowdive.app so we can confirm everything directly. Your trust matters, we want every transaction to be honest and transparent, and we’re here to help until you feel fully reassured.

Scammers
Purchased a 90 day subscription for $24.99. Never could get access to it. I sent them an email, telling them I couldn't access it and they sent back some AI generated bs response about how they were "investigating" my case. I sent them a copy of the receipt - same response. A week later, still can't access the app and their response was would I want to add a complimentary additional 7 days to my subscription? Are you kidding me?
Also, their checkout process is tricky, where the ask if you want to add additional subscriptions - you know the ones where it's really easy to click past, and in the process, you inadvertently agree to add something? What was really sneaky was that they actually only sent a receipt for the original purchase. I didn't know about the 2nd charge until I checked my credit card statement. When I emailed them about that, they said they would "investigate" but that it would take 7 to 10 days.
I did receive the refund for both but not before I disputed the charge on the unauthorized one and had to go back and forth with their AI customer service for the original one.
Never got to use the app.

We’re truly sorry this was so frustrating — no one should pay and then be locked out or forced into long disputes. Thank you for describing exactly what happened; we know how upsetting sudden or confusing charges and poor access feel. Sometimes extra charges come from optional upgrades (for example the Lucid Dreams or Holotropic programs) that are added during checkout, but we always aim for clear consent, and we’re sorry our flow felt tricky.
We’re glad you received refunds, but we want to double-check your case so we can fix any gaps and prevent this for others. Please send us your subscription details (email used, order/receipt screenshots) via the in-app or website chat, or email support@slowdive.app. That will help us investigate and resolve faster. It’s very important to us to be honest and transparent about transactions; we’ll review your access, confirm refunds, and make sure any mistaken charges are fully cleared. Once we’ve sorted this, we’d be grateful if you’d consider updating your rating to reflect the outcome.

We’re truly sorry to hear what you experienced — we know how stressful unexpected charges can feel, and we want to reassure you that we never process payments without a user’s clear confirmation. In nearly all cases like this, the additional amounts come from optional upgrades such as the Lucid Dreaming Course or the Holotropic Program, which users activate themselves during onboarding. Still, it’s very important for us to review your specific case so we can clarify everything fully and restore your trust.
Please send us your subscription details so we can investigate right away. You can reach us through the in-app/web chat or at support@slowdive.app for the fastest help. Once we sort this out, we’d truly appreciate it if you consider updating your rating so it reflects your full experience.

I’m really sorry you’re experiencing this — having sessions cut off early or locked when you’ve paid for full access is incredibly frustrating, and you absolutely shouldn’t be left feeling scammed. We want to fix this for you as quickly as possible because your trust matters, and the app should work exactly as promised. Issues like early cut-offs or locked daily sessions usually happen when the system can’t confirm the subscription on the device, even if it’s active on your end.
Please send us your subscription details or screenshots so we can check everything directly and restore your full access right away. And just to be sure, please verify that the app is installed from the App Store or Play Market and updated to the latest version — this often resolves access errors fast.
You can reach us through the in-app or web chat or at support@slowdive.app — we’re here, and it’s very important to us to make this right for you.
Please please do run away
Please please do run away from this app. Everything is a fraud. I paid my 1month subscription, then the same day they tried to take out an unauthorised money for eu40+ and again for eu70+. My bank contacted me as it was suspicious and I cancelled this app straight away. As 1month subscription was paid, I couldn't use it after cancellation. Run from this app!

We’re truly sorry you went through such a stressful experience — no one should ever feel uneasy about a payment, and we completely understand how upsetting this must have been. Please know that we never charge anything without a user’s explicit confirmation. The additional amounts your bank flagged were most likely for optional subscription upgrade or courses, such as the Lucid Dreaming Course or the Holotropic Program, which some users accidentally activate while exploring. These are always separate from the standard monthly plan and must be manually confirmed during purchase.
We genuinely want to help clear this up as quickly as possible. If you could send us your subscription details, we can immediately check what happened and make sure everything is fully resolved. You can reach us through the in-app or website chat, or directly at support@slowdive.app.
Once we sort this out for you, we’d truly appreciate it if you’d consider updating your rating — but only after you feel everything has been properly handled🙏

These are the biggest SCAMMERS of the year and what a way to do it! With a meditation app showing cool pics! Disgusting! Do not even think about it! They charged my card 3 times , a total of 100 USD, tho' I accepted only a 8 USD for a 7 days trial! I did NOT upgrade to any extra program as they claim when they reply to every complain. Please report them!
The bank thankfully refunded me one day later, after I reported a problem for each transaction! Please, guys, stay away from this app! You won’t get the personalized plan and all the meditations are AI generated!

I was scammed by this app
I was scammed by this app. I purchased a 24 dollars 3 months subscription. It actually cost 30 euros, so the price was not transparent. Once they had my payment information, they charged an additional 50 euros without my payment authorization for two other purchases. I wrote three times to them to ask for a refund on everything and no answer. I cancelled my card due to fraud because they have my payment information and i will dispute this through my bank, but they said it might take 90 days to solve a dispute. I still hope they will refund everything because I will contact the online payment processor, apple pay and whoever else needs to know what this company is using their services for. I joined the app to see what they actually provide and it’s shit. They do not give you the personalized plan they promise and the content is cheap, AI generated. I actually recognize the Eleven labs voices as i worked with Ai before. You’ll find much better content on youtube for free.

The additional charges you mentioned would only come from optional upgrades or extra programs (like Lucid Dreams or Holotropic Breathing) that can be selected during or after signup — never without your authorization. We want to make sure this is reviewed carefully and resolved properly.

Please know that Slowdive does not and cannot withdraw funds automatically or without clear user confirmation.

SCAM!!
SCAM!!! I was charged 3 different charges within minutes. My bank thankfully declined. Now I have to go through the process of a new card. When I contacted the company WITH PROOF of the declined transactions, they blamed me saying I must have selected these choices. Insulting!!! I had the proof and they still wouldn’t take accountability. I have taken steps to report them. One of the transactions was at an ATM!!! It says in my bank account! If I could attach the proof, I would. I ma so upset over this. RUN from this company.

App doesn't work correctly and zero customer service
I have an account I can not access. It keeps taking me around in circles and customer service is ZERO! The app itself says my account is good until the end of Dec 2025 but customer service wants me to go back and find proof that I purchased it, so I DO! Then they say a screen shot of the transaction WITH the order number on it is not good enough and leave me in limbo. This app does not work any longer and they are just keeping people's money. NO customer service phone # either, just a chat bot.

We're truly sorry for the frustration you've experienced—we completely understand how upsetting this situation feels. Just to clarify: the subscription renews automatically, as is standard with most app stores, but we know it can come as a surprise if the renewal date isn’t expected. We're not trying to hide anything or charge without consent—these terms are stated at signup, but we absolutely understand how easy it is to lose track, especially if the app wasn’t in regular use.
As for the refund timing, you're right—it can take up to 14 days, and unfortunately that delay is due to the payment processors and banks, not something we can manually speed up, even though we wish we could.
If you have any other issues please contact us at support@slowdive.app or in chat so we can make sure everything is being handled properly.

Don't buy the scam
Don't buy. It's a shitty China scam!
When you go to trustpilot, you see all their 5 star reviews, have people with only 1 or 2 reviews.
So of course.... People just create a trustpilot account just to praise one company.. NOT!!
Another shitty China scammer tactic, they are worse than Indian call centers!
Even when you buy, you can't hear one single meditation to the end. It keeps stopping. So you have to stop meditating, open your phone and play again.
You cant even make a playlist, so you can hear the lucid dream course. You have to open your phone every single time to play the next track.
So guess that's why it's banned in several states in the US. Because it's a dirty China scam!!

Calming experience with room to grow
This app provides a peaceful experience, and the guided audio is calming. I liked the chakra balancing and the holotropic breathwork, but both features felt a little underdeveloped. The music selection is broad, which helps tailor each session, though the narration can feel too generic. Great for getting started with meditation, but not as useful if you’re looking for deeper or more advanced practices.
