Please keep the bells in the audio guided meditations. App extremely helpful.

I found this app helpful and irreplaceable for me. Please keep the bells in the guided meditations and adding more meditations when you can as you have done with adding the ones for beginners and pain relief. I found the yoga and body scan very helpful. MBSR helps me manage severe anxiety without medication. I do the 45 minute versions once a week and have so for 7 years.

Not worth paying for

I tried this app as an accompaniment to his book, Full Catastrophe Living. I did not find it to be the accompaniment I hoped for (just not as inclusive). I feel meditations from Insight Timer are just as good and free.

I also found the staff supporting the app to be not very helpful. Very challenging to actually cancel my subscription to the app.

Would not recommend this app.

This is an exceptional app and service

First review I’ve ever written on my iPhone but this app is something else. It’s really got me into mindfulness easily and effortlessly and I’m seeing such benefits I’m just weeks. This should be every person’s go to for clarity, peace, healing and insights and wisdom. Regardless of their religion or lack of. The good intention of the founder pours through. When you think of the value you are getting here for pennies compared to extortion of so many others who are nowhere near as qualified yet charge the earth for so little real return. 🙏

Signup & Subscription & Other

The UX for this process and the lack of support of Safari keychain earns this app - about stress reduction - a wholly and fully deserved ONE star! Furthermore, pressing the REDEEM button yields a blank white screen requiring the app to be force-closed. There is also no capability to Write mindfulness data into the Apple Fitness app. Also, sessions do not have a “done” status after completing, rather only a “downloaded” checkmark (I got a check mark for only listening to the first several seconds in episode 1.2 and then no completion, check mark or download checkmark whatever it is for the 1.3 episode). Also, the Now Playing card that shows on the iOS Lock Screen for audio playback controls only shows skip /fast forward but not the typical control skip forward 10 skip backwards 10 etc).

Thank you for your review. We are in the process of fixing the Redeem button. The check mark indicates when the item is downloaded to your phone. We have designed and developed the app with a very small team with limited resources, therefore we are providing with what we can do. Our aim is not to compete, but also make an effort to offer the app free to those who are less fortunate with what we can with our small team on behalf of Jon Kabat-Zinn. We will take into consideration the features you mentioned and plan out based on our resources, if you have any other suggestions you can drop us an email to support@mindfulnessapps.com. Thank you for your understanding. Wishing you all the best from Jon and the team.

Pain Relief addition

Thank you so much for the recent addition of Mindfulness for Pain Relief. It is nice to have specific meditations and lessons on pain, with a shorter body scan. I use this app several times a week and it’s very beneficial.

A Necessity for a Healthy Lifestyle

I’m so very grateful for Jon’s work and this app which I use every day. It has been my sanctuary and an essential part of my life moving from autopilot to a more engaged awareness and appreciation of every precious moment

Simply wonderful!

Thank you so much to Jon and the developers for bringing all the meditation series together on one app. The videos are also wonderful and enable me to feel part of a community. This app doesn’t have an overwhelming amount of information and content to work through, so the repetition of limited meditations allows me to deepen my practice and really explore my experiences. The simplicity and limited content suits me so well, very grounding and comforting in an increasingly complex and restless world.
