Second hopeless update

For the second time in a year, JKZ has released an update which destroys the app. Will it be weeks before it is fixed, as it was before?

Seamlessly supports my practice

This is the app I recommend to my fellow mindfulness and self-compassion practitioners. And for those folks who are curious to learn more about themselves and the benefits that can bring, this app offers short and simple introductory guidelines plus a wide variety of recordings to learn how to build and nurture your ‘mindful muscle’.
Thank you to the team for such a great App. And I am grateful to Jon for his teachings and his wonderful voice.

Long time fan

I first came across Jon’s original app in about 2009-2010. It svaed my life as I was suffering from intractable headaches caused by intracranial hypertension. Finding this new app after years of not having my original app is such a relief.

Response from developer

The best meditation app!

It truly is the best one. For the past 4 days after subscribing I’ve been practicing with the app a couple of hours everyday, and the benefits are beyond words. I would like to send my deepest love and gratitude to dearest Jon and the supporting team❤️🌴🌺㊗️

A Key Part of My Life

I have been using this app for the past six years. It has become a key element of my wellness plan. There is enough variety of practices to allow one to “mix and match” as desired and also to explore different approaches to meditation. I would strongly recommend reading JKZ’s book “Wherever You Go There You Are “ in conjunction with using this app. Strongly recommended.

Universal and accessible

This app is as close as you can get to live Jon Kabat Zinn teachings. And for me, Jon has a way of being and saying these things that goes straight to my heart. Beyond and between the words develops the understanding of these universal teachings.

Response from developer

A true gem of an app

I’ve been using the JKZ meditation app for 6 months now and it’s making a huge difference to my life. I’ve tried a lot of other apps to find something to help build a meditation habit/routine - but this is the standout one for three reasons: simplicity, sincerity and a sense of connection.
All of Jon Kabat Zinn’s guided meditations are gathered in one place and easy to access. His teachings are fairly simple and solid: the only time we have is now; we don’t need “fixing” because we are already whole; our awareness is always able to encompass whatever thoughts or feelings we have. Simple…but not always easy! But Jon is an immensely compassionate and wise guide and between the meditations and live sessions (which I watch as recordings) it really does feel like being part of a global online community or sangha.
There is a (very minimal) subscription fee which can be paid monthly or annually but you do get the sense that this money is more about running costs than it is about cashing-in on current trends in mindfulness meditation. Highly recommended.

Jon Kabat-Zinn taught me how to meditate

I've been learning meditation from Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn since 2010. He gave me my first experience of satori and I've been hooked ever since. He truly changes lives with his books and meditations

Please update app!

I love the app and all it has to offer. I recently purchased it!

I bought a new iPhone 15 pro max and it’s not working on here. It crashes out and won’t let me restore my purchase

Response from developer

Hi, Thank you for your review. We apologize for what you are experiencing. Please remove the app and re-install the app and login with your credentials and see if you can access the meditations. Also drop an email to support@mindfulnessapps.com with your phone details, and the email used for the app to investigate if the issue persists. Look forward to hearing from you.

Amazing, my favourite meditation app

I’ve used lots of different apps to practice mindfulness like headspace and calm. This app is the best in my opinion. You learn mindfulness in a clearly explained, easy to understand way with his books and the app as a companion. He doesn’t overcomplicate it. I’ve read mindfulness for begginers and am now reading full catastrophe living and feel I am learning and growing a lot. This app is also very cheap which I appreciate as well. If your looking for a mindfulness app or reading his books, I highly recommend this app. He also doesn’t talk too much in his meditations. Some other apps, they talk too much and there is not enough space and silence to learn and practice on your own. This app has just the right amount of guidance and silence.
