Innertune review: what you get and the most common complaints
Innertune is a well rated affirmations app for iPhone, Mac and Android. It plays spoken affirmations on a loop over background music. It has 4.8 stars from 12,000 ratings on the App Store. The free version lets you listen as much as you like. Premium is a subscription that adds the full library, your own voice and offline listening. Two complaints come up again and again: bugs, and support that does not answer. It is worth it if you want a huge library of affirmations to listen to. If you want to see yourself living your goals, Solulu, the app we make, is the better pick.
Innertune in short
Innertune is an affirmations app. Affirmations are short, positive sentences about yourself. You press play, and spoken affirmations loop over background music while you sleep, work or relax.
We make Solulu, a mind movie app, so Innertune is a competitor of ours.

What Innertune actually does
Innertune plays affirmations out loud, in a loop, over a beat you choose. You pick the playlist, the voice and the music.
- A big library. The App Store lists 77,000 affirmations, 550+ playlists, 19 voices and 100+ background beats. Some of the voices are ASMR voices, which speak softly to help you relax.
- Your settings. You choose the voice, the beat and the voice volume. You also choose the pause between affirmations and the music mix.
- Your own voice. With Premium you can record affirmations in your own voice and play them over beats.
- AI playlists. With Premium you answer a question, and the app builds a playlist for your mood or goal.
- Night mode, offline listening and daily reminders. You can also “like” affirmations to collect them in one playlist.
Innertune is audio only. It does not make video, and it does not use your photos.
Is Innertune free?
Innertune is free to download and has a free version. Premium is a paid subscription.
The free version lets you listen as much as you like. It also has night mode and daily reminders. Premium adds the AI playlists, every voice and beat, and recording in your own voice. It also adds the full library, offline downloads and no ads.
Buying outside the App Store. Innertune also sells subscriptions directly, paid by card through Stripe or PayPal. You cancel those by email, not in Apple’s settings. So check your receipt to see where you paid. Steps for both are in how to cancel a manifestation app.
Refunds. Innertune does not refund App Store or Google Play purchases itself. It sends you to Apple or Google. If you bought directly from Innertune, there are no refunds unless the law says otherwise.
The most common Innertune complaints
Two complaints come up again and again: bugs and support.
- Bugs. The app crashes after updates. People lose recordings and progress, voices glitch and streaks reset.
- Support that does not answer. Emails to support get no reply.
What Innertune users love
Most Innertune users are happy with it. That is why it has 4.8 stars on the App Store.
- Recording in your own voice. Its fans mention this more than anything else.
- The choice of voices and music, including binaural beats. These are beats made to help you relax or focus.
- Press play and forget it. It runs in the background while you work, clean or sleep.
Is Innertune worth it?
Innertune is worth it if you want a huge library of spoken affirmations to play in the background.
- Pick Innertune if you love affirmations and want them playing while you do other things. It also suits you if you like recording your own voice, or want the app on a Mac or Android phone.
- Look elsewhere if you want to see yourself in your goals, or if affirmations feel fake when you say them.
Innertune is ahead of Solulu in three ways. It is on Android and Mac, and Solulu is iPhone only. Its library is huge. And it works in the background, with your eyes closed.
Where Solulu is better
Innertune gives you words to hear. Solulu shows you living the life those words describe. For most people that is the better practice, for four reasons.
1. You see yourself living it
An affirmation tells you who you are. A mind movie shows you. Innertune plays lines like “I am loved” in a voice. Solulu makes mind movies with your own face in every scene. So you watch yourself being loved, and the line has a picture behind it. That makes it feel like a memory, not a wish.
In a well known study, some people pictured themselves voting as if they were looking at a photo of themselves. They were more likely to actually vote. Seeing yourself do something helps you believe you are someone who does it. And what you hold as true about yourself is what shows up in your life.
2. It does not depend on your imagination
Some lines on the loop will be things you do not believe yet. Your mind has to find a picture that makes each line true. Often it finds doubt instead. With Solulu you do not have to imagine the proof, because you watch it. That works the same whether the pictures in your mind are bright, faint or missing.
3. It never goes stale
Most practices repeat the same words, audio or pictures every day. After a few weeks, your mind gets used to them and the feeling fades. The Solulu method makes refreshing part of the practice, and Solulu keeps making new mind movies of you as your story moves on. So what you watch never goes stale.
4. It is easy to keep doing
Innertune suggests playing affirmations while you sleep, work or relax. Background listening is easy to start. But after a while, it is also easy to stop really hearing it.
A mind movie takes a few minutes of your full attention, at two set times, morning and night. Each one has a calm kaleidoscope opening, scenes of you living that life, affirmations and music. So you keep your affirmations and add the picture. New mind movies arrive every week as your goals grow.
| App | You see yourself living it | Works without a strong imagination | Easy to keep up | Platforms |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Solulu | Yes, your own face in every scene | Yes, you watch the scene | Yes, a few minutes morning and night, new movies weekly | iPhone |
| Innertune | No, audio affirmations | Partly, you supply the picture | Yes, plays in the background | iPhone, Mac, Apple Vision, Android |
| Your own recorded affirmations | No, audio only | Partly | Yes, free | Any phone |
Turn an affirmation into a scene
Any affirmation you love on Innertune can become a scene you can see. Here is how, with three examples.
- Take one affirmation you want to believe.
- Ask: what would I see if it were true? Pick one moment, one place, one detail.
- Write it in the first person, present tense.
- Look at it, or a photo of it, when you wake up and before you sleep. Say the affirmation once while you look. Keep going until the scene is real in your life.
The first example is for an SP. SP means “specific person”, the person you want to be with. Here, “I am chosen and adored” becomes:
They introduce me to their best friend Maya at dinner and keep their hand on my knee the whole time. On the way home they say, “Maya loved you. I knew she would.”
For money, “Money flows to me easily” becomes:
I pay for brunch for my mom and my sister without looking at the bill, and my mom says, “Look at you.”
For a glow-up, “I am confident in my body” becomes:
I walk onto the beach in my red swimsuit, put my towel down and stretch out in the sun, not thinking about who is looking.
For more on writing lines that feel true, see how to write affirmations.
Maybe you want those scenes made with you in them. Solulu is the iPhone app we make for that. You describe the life you want and add your photos. If you like, you can also add photos of your SP, places, outfits, pets and things you want. Solulu then makes mind movies with you in the scenes, with affirmations and music. You get up to three new mind movies each week.
It is our pick over Innertune for the four reasons above. You see yourself living it, you do not have to imagine it, it never goes stale, and it is easy to keep doing.
