Opposite effect
Used to be free and I was through half of the steps now I can’t progress. I’m more stressed now because of this app. Make the 12 steps free and require a subscription for content that actually gets updated.
Frustrated
I’m unhappy with the app. I’ve used it daily for 10 years. It was free, now it costs $15 a month and I’m not sure why? If there was an explanation I’d probably be happy to contribute because it’s helped me for so many years but I don’t believe anything has changed on the app to warrant the subscription. Could the meditation timer be free to use?
Side note to the app developers: The bell is awkwardly timed at the end of the meditation now.. not sure if anyone tested the meditation timer from start to finish.

Offensive money grabbing stitch up!
After seriously enjoying using the app for a long time while it was free, the sudden forced “upgrade” to the paid only version came at a really bad time for me owing to a family bereavement where as a result I was unable to access it when I really needed it most. Eventually having resolved the sign up issues for the 2 month free trial I contacted the support team to ask for a list of the promised “improvements” - as I could see none. After no response and with the absence of a free version I’m afraid my 1giantmind journey is coming to an end. A once beautiful idea has now been corrupted by the greed of whoever has bought the original app in order to abuse the goodwill of the original users. I appreciate there may be server costs, which I would not mind paying for, however what is being asked for in terms of a monthly subscription is far too high for an app with zero promised improvements. The fact that it has a 4 star rating in the App Store must be down to previous reviews before it became paid only - just check the other more recent negative reviews since the change! I really can’t see this as anything other than a money grabbing con and will be reporting it to Apple as such with the recommendation that all ratings before it became paid only are removed and even ask them to delete the app itself. This is a scam!

Now useless without “Premium”
Listen, if none of the meditation options on your formerly free app now work without a Premium subscription, you’re not charging for “premium access”—you’re just charging for access. I get keeping some stuff behind a paywall, but damn. Too bad.
Sad to see
I used to enjoy using just the timer functionality, separate from the courses. Now even that is behind a paywall.
I understand that you want to be compensated for your work but surely you could’ve seen that paywalling your existing content without providing anything else of value wasn’t the right way to do it.
I hope you’ll restore the original free functions of the app but I fear that it may be too late to reverse the negative review wave you’ve unleashed upon yourselves. I, for one, will not be keeping the app downloaded or holding my breath for any change.
