Core Meditation

May 18, 2023

This release streamlines the manner in which subscriptions are activated for new device owners. From now on, if you purchase Core Premium, your prepaid subscription will be activated when you first connect to your Core device (instead of having to enter an activation code.) A few small changes and fixes are also included in this version: • Fixed some issues with the display of the popup guide to interpreting your biometric results after your first meditation. • Added a prompt to encourage users who recently joined a group to share their post-meditation results with the rest of the group. • Added some convenient quick links for new users who are meditating without a device to check out the Core hardware.

Introducing Core Groups We're excited to announce Groups, a new feature that lets you make your friends and family an integral part of your Core meditation practice. Create a group with your spouse, workout buddy, yoga friend, Mom, triathlon training crew, or that one coworker who needs some Zen to get the week started. - Create a weekly schedule to help each other stay consistent, or get motivated by recommending your favorite classes to the rest of the group. - See your group’s recent activity, and track your total meditation minutes towards major milestones together. - After a session, share your results and your reflection with the rest of the group to let them see how you did.

You might notice a few small fixes included in this release: - Fixed an issue that was causing multi-day streaks to sometimes end early when they shouldn’t. This fix will be applied retroactively to your meditation history. - Added a small “edit” button to the Profile portrait, so it’s more obvious how to update it. - Your Profile portrait will now display your initials by default, if you haven’t uploaded an image. - We updated our iOS SDK to 16.1.

This release is mostly focused on under-the-hood functionality to support some exciting upcoming features, but we’ve also made some small changes and fixes that improve the Core experience: * Technique and topic tags are now interactive. Tap one to navigate to a full list of all the meditations in our library that share the same tag. * Fixed some issue with the way subcategory links were being displayed in the “Explore” tab. * Added some flexibility to the range of meditations that can be displayed in the “For You” tab. Happy meditating!

Happy 2023! This is the first release of the new year, and we’re kicking things off with some modest improvements to the way that meditation content is displayed in the app. * We’ve added more flexibility to the display of meditations in the “Explore” tab. These changes will make it easier for us to automatically highlight the most recent tracks that have been released around certain topics and techniques, so it’s easier for you to find what you’re interested in. * Guided meditations will now indicate what language they are narrated in. The majority of our content is in English, but we are steadily adding more Spanish-language tracks, and you can now browse the entire meditation library by language. * We’ve relocated the request for notification permissions, so it’s more easily visible to all our new users.

We've expanded Core's integration with Apple Health to allow sharing of more biometric data, giving you richer insights and allowing Core to personalize your meditation results more accurately. Now when you connect Core with Apple Health, you'll be able to log Mindful Minutes, heart rate, and HRV data to the Health app. In addition, we've made a few small fixes and improvements: - We fixed an issue where users weren't able to change their primary goal to "other/no goal" in the Profile. - We added some missing text to the post-meditation results view. - We adjusted the behavior of some of the "back" buttons during onboarding, for better consistency.

In this release, we’ve laid the groundwork for some exciting new features that will be coming a little further on — the changes won’t be visible to you yet. In addition to that work, though, we’ve also made some improvements you might notice: - The primary navigation of the app has some snazzy new icons. - We’ve tried to make it easier to read the text when you’re browsing the information about a meditation. - The cards in the details and settings of each meditation have been cleaned up a bit so they’re easier to read, too. - The instructor information card in the details of each meditation should now always reliably navigate you to that instructor’s page. - We’ve improved the way that we handle the caching of audio, so the app should take up less space on your phone overall.
