This app has helped me overcome pain
Practicing present moment awareness was suggested to me as a strategy for dealing with chronic pain symptoms. It was not long after that I happened upon Equa. I had no clue there was an app for equanimity and I immediately signed up and with few exceptions have used it every day. I had never heard of the concept of see, hear, feel or concentration, clarify and equanimity. It’s brilliant! Since starting Equa I have found myself using my ear buds less to listen to music and whatnot. I’m just as likely now, if not more, to simply go about the day finding enjoyment in being aware of what’s around me; what I’m hearing, seeing and feeling. And amazingly I find that my new-found ability to focus has enabled big strides in overcoming cycles of pain.

Almost a year later
Still no updates to content which I exhausted in a few weeks. Still no sync to Apple Health.

Amazing lessons, but only 41 of them?
Writing this review because I tried reaching out to Equa Support last week and haven’t heard back. I love this app and its teachings, and am benefitting greatly from them. However, some of the “accomplishments” do not get logged accurately, and what’s more concerning is that the majority of the “courses” seem to only be one 10-minute unit in length. When I signed up for the autorenewing annual subscription, it was in good faith that the lessons I was enjoying so much would continue for at least a year. I have now completed all 41 available lessons, so unless more developments are on the way (or a bug is preventing me from seeing other features?), I’ll be limited to repeating the same lessons for the rest of the year, after which I’ll likely end my subscription. I would love to hear back from Equa’s developers about this — thank you!

Great structure
Helped me to be purposeful in my time and effort to learning to be more mindful and aware.
The devs actually listen!
I wrote a review saying a feature was needed, and the developers got in touch with me and said they will add it! It was really nice to have an app’s developers listen to feedback and respond in a positive way.

Being with, not fixing, makes the difference
I dont have to change anything about my life. It is how i am with each moment and the pattern of moments that evolve.
It is a way of life, not a way to dominate myself , the other or the exigencies of life. We live our life forward in a wholesome way.

A mindfulness app that actually sticks
For many years now, I’ve tried out wellness and meditation apps to help with my anxiety and spiraling thoughts. I can confidently say that Equa is the only tool that worked and still works till this day.
In just the first week of using Equa, I was given a tool that I would be able to use in my daily life. When I feel stressed or anxious, I always think about my senses, just like Equa taught me. It has truly helped to mitigate my panic attacks and has grounded me in difficult moments. Whether it’s getting anxious on a plane, dealing with work stress, or battling moments of feeling overwhelmed with life — Equa’s methodology is what I turn to. I trust the people behind this app and I would recommend it to anyone. Don’t give up on meditation and try out Equa!

Getting the hang of it!
My initial review was negative, due mostly to what I viewed as a merging of the ‘Lessons’ and marketing the product. But now that I have been using it for a few weeks its advantages are clear and no more material that could be viewed as marketing. Through touch feedback on the screen (1,2 or 3 taps) the app adjusts what’s presented next, keeping the ‘lessons’ focused on the learner’s needs, which is a great advantage. Still a bit confused about the overall‘course outline’ - thus 4, not 5 stars- but I hope that will become clearer with time.

Very logically arranged, 'responsive' to user
The course seems to presume some knowledge of meditation, though that may well be because I identified myself as having some experience - the course does 'adjust' itself based on user input (via 1,2 or 3 taps on the screen), much like any good teacher ajusts the curriculum on the fly based on student input. Still a bit adrift on the overall course structure, but so far it has been interesting and beneficial.

No way to reset profile
The app asked what kind of experience I had with Meditation. I have practiced a little, so I answered “some”. It gave me a course that’s too advanced for me. There is no way to reset your answer. I will not be using the app because I cannot access a beginner’s course.
