All functions do not work

Settings do not stay such as share with apple health. Start calendar on Sunday and the timer is not working at all. Good thing I do not really need the timer however at times it may come in handy. The sharing and connecting with apple health would be nice however without having to manually input

Surprisingly Good

Quite impressed with the quality of the app. Lots of attention to detail and seems to smooth and stable. Good job team.

Fantastic app

Wonderful! The team did a great job on this one.

Amazing technique as well, completely changed my life!

Supportive App

Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful tool with me. The App has really helped me feel supported on my meditation journey. The Library offers informative videos and somehow knowing the number of other people meditating when I am, makes me feel supported and part of a like-minded group.

Perfect App for my TM Practice

This is such a simple but perfect app, with an easy to use timer, excellent library/knowledge base and lots of guidance and encouragement.
I’ve been waiting for an app like this for a very long time, and this really is everything I’ve wanted, and more!

There must be a feedback loop

I have several problems with this app. Let’s start with the total lack of input from meditators. I have been meditating since 1975. I was able to benefit from a TM promotion of a paltry $50 fee for high school students to learn how to properly practice transcendental meditation. In the following 50 plus years of being an at times fanatical/at times very casual practitioner of TM, I have never been the recipient of the claimed benefits of tranquillity, wisdom, mental clarity, grace, and so on. At best, TM helped me chill out a little, but my life was never “altered” as is claimed in this app to be my just, inevitable reward.

So here I am, age 67, still meditating, and still deriving nothing from TM more than 40 minutes of a little down time.

It seems to me that if this app offered some kind of communal forum for meditators to speak to their personal experiences, help others that might only need better guidance, and create a safe space for technique discussion and even friendship ties, the TM world would be a better place. Or, there are already a zillion places on the Web that already do that.

I am simply reviewing this particular app. The lessons section only present videos of “elders” that have already drank the potion, and the “wisdom” paragraphs presented at the end of the 3 minute awakening session are some of the silliest wastes of electrons I have ever seen. IMO.

Hi Jim, thank you for sharing your honest feedback. It's wonderful to hear that you’ve been a long-time practitioner of TM. We completely agree that adding a community forum would bring great value to the TM app, and it’s already on our roadmap! ~Monika

Easy, excellent.

I had no interest at all in an app but the very first time I used I loved it. It’s nice to see how many others are on at the same moment. Most importantly though, I was not good at taking a couple minutes after the meditation to come out slowly, and I didn’t think it made a big difference. But it really does make a huge improvement. The app structures that in so you really do it. And it makes as big a difference as if you sprinted and just stopped or ate a great meal and just got right up and took off after the last bite. This app definitely improves my experience and benefits of TM.

A few quirks but I’m loving it!

I’ve been a TM practitioner since 2019 (started meditating in 2014) and only just learned TM had an app now. I had been feeling like maybe I needed a “checking” with my practice and I love all the content the app has. It totally reinvigorated my practice and told me I’m totally on the right path.

I have found that after a while of watching videos it can get very sluggish and need a restart. Aside from that my only wish is that they had a dark mode for the entire app and not just the timer.

I don’t quite understand them discouraging the use of the “chime” to signal the end of 20 minutes though. To me that’s far better than periodically coming out to look at the timer and see how much time is left. I really like the sound they chose as well. Subtle and not at all jarring and lets me just dive into my meditation and not worry about time.

A clean and perfect app for TM practitioners. I feel a new vigor for my practice.
