Makes you pay
The app would not let me close the page asking to subscribe. Every time i click X nothing happens must be a glitch
Fixed my sleep issues
I’ve always had trouble falling asleep and staying asleep, and I’ll be up for hours in bed, restless. After using this app (and installing nightlights) I am able to consistently fall asleep fast. I don’t normally meditate (it always makes me sleepy) but with Mesmerize I am able to meditate myself to sleep which is double benefit! I never realized how chaotic my thoughts were as I tried to sleep until I tried using this. It so effortless to calm your mind, especially if you respond well to voice over meditations. I found it so easy to stop letting my thoughts run wild as I was trying to rest. While my mind is still frequently chaotic the rest of the day, I am hoping to see some improvements overtime of using this every night.

Mersmerize
My first impression of this app is that it has lots of features on it. For example, there is guided Meditation, Music, and what they call “visual breathing.” Several options like this are helpful, since the topic of mental health is so broad. This way, there’s something for everyone.
The idea of “mesmerize” is interesting, since it has been a coping mechanism for anxiety since the early 20th century. Franz Mesmer started using the hypnosis as a therapeutic method in order to “make the unconscious conscious.” This helps people to understand things about themselves that could be making them anxious that they didn’t recognize before.
The history of mesmerizing and hypnosis proves this method to be accurate, which is why i started using this app.

No longer a free option?
I used to use this all the time but now it’s forcing me into a subscription even though it’s still listed as “free”
Great for ADHD Folks
Works great for getting a quick 5 to 15 minute session to help focus the mind. Instead of trying to clear your mind, it seems that by carefully stimulating it the “ADHD”m mind” takes all the visual and audio stimulation to zone in one the one thing. This helps to allow you to then shift that zoned in focus on what you really want to get done. PS: $5 for actual help with focus for an ADHD sufferer is not even close to being “a lot of money”. Either it works for you or it doesn’t. If it does, it’s more than worth the money.

Scammy tactics but somewhat worth it.
Warning: requires subscription ($25/year second chance offer) or trial (3 days and then $50/year) you can get weekly and monthly indirectly through the iTunes subscription menu.
What it is: Low quality looped videos (not real time generated) with music and narration tracks and special audio support.
Consists of enough content to sort of warrant a one time purchase or maybe $.99 a week. It is an video/audio player after all. I cannot tell you how often they refresh their content but I can tell you that the visual selection is very limited.

Better than Calm app
Alright. So I used the Calm app for years until i started to become less satisfied with it. Somehow it felt redundant. I came across this one and was immediately hooked. There’s a serious variety of different types of meditation. My favorite part of this app is the fact that they cite references to literature and why the type of meditation is beneficial. As an RN, this gives me lots of confidence in their product, and I have certainly experienced the benefits with its regular use. HIGHLY recommend for anyone stating out with or experienced in mindfulness

Different purposes
Im loving that it has a multi purpose focus. I use the focus option when im working. I use the stress reliever when work gets too stressful, and use the sleeping function at night. This app really helps level headedness. But the ONLY reason i changed it to 4 stars is because of the audio. If I’m using my air pods, when i pull my earpiece out the phone automatically switches to speaker mode. So if im using the app to relax while putting my 2 yr old to sleep. And an earpiece falls out. My phone goes to loud speaker mode and wakes up the baby. So app devs. If u can make it so the app pauses when pulling out air pods. That would be PERFECT!!!!

Amazing. Best meditation app, hands down!
I struggle with anxiety, mental fog, and ADHD, and I found this app to help tremendously in calming me down and keeping me focused.
I have tried various apps such as as Calm, Headspace, etc., though I would always find the guided meditations either boring, too vague, and difficult to follow, or the soundscapes too distracting. The audio and visuals on Mesmerize however, are so pleasing to the senses—listening to them feels like a transcendent cinematic experience. There are also so many different soundscapes depending on your circumstances/mood, so the app has plenty to offer.

Decent app; no good price point available.
This app just isn’t priced fairly. It’s has high quality visuals and a lot of features but the monthly price is way too high and the yearly price wouldn’t be so bad if it was a one time price, but fifty bucks every year!? No way. Too put it in perspective a video game costs sixty dollars, is an expensive and multifaceted work of software that provides hundreds of hours of use and you only have to pay it once.
This is is a quality app that just isn’t pricing it’s self well. I’d love to pay a lower monthly rate or have an option to buy it outright, but as of now there isn’t a reasonable option.
