But you have to pay 40 bucks a YEAR. I don't have the money to waste on that. Please just have everything be free of you watch a add or something ### 3/5 — Money *2025-03-27, version 4.0.0* Most of the mindfulness you have to have a membership for and you have to use money to get that membership about 5/100 of these exercises are free, the rest are membership ### 4/5 — Why I love this app: *2024-10-01, version 4.0.0* I love this app because I used it before I went to bed I felt amazing and I slept so well and when I woke up in the morning I felt so nice and energetic I also had a great day I’d like to give you a 5 star rating because this protected app for helping me release and relieve my stress thank you so much 😊❤️. ### 3/5 — Love app *2024-08-21, version 4.0.0* The app itself is great. The tracks are useful and nice. The one problem is that you can’t use it if you fall asleep. It does not turn off after I use it so I can’t leve it on to get to sleep. ### 3/5 — Good app but needs tweaking *2023-09-23, version 4.0.0* A good flexible app for folks like me who love to do various breathing exercises. However, the haptic tap for the Apple Watch needs to be substantial. It’s currently too light. It also needs to occur to indicate a change (new breath or pause). Many people like to breathing exercises without audio and with their eyes shut. It’s nice to do it discretely whilst waiting for a train for example. A haptic tap on the watch is good for that. Willing to change this review if this tweak happens. Thanks. ### 4/5 — Great but... *2021-07-17, version 3.0.8* This is a really great app. I love the reminders and how it's helped me with my anxiety. The only thing I don't like is how you have to pay for 90% of the features. I just wish there was more you could do without having to pay. Overall would recommend for people who need to take just a minute to calm down. ### 3/5 — Love app *2021-06-23, version 3.0.8* The app itself is great. The tracks are useful and nice. The one problem is that you can’t use it if you fall asleep. It does not turn off after I use it so I can’t leve it on to get to sleep. ### 5/5 — You’re going through the phone phone call phone *2020-08-25, version 3.0.6* And number two I have one number and number one phone phone address number phone call phone phone call if I email you your phone phone number phone and number one number phone call phone phone call if you can call me tomorrow and tomorrow if you can call me please call if I can get one number and number one phone phone call if I can get one phone phone and phone number number phone number and email address address and phone address email address and email number number phone number number and phone number number phone call phone phone address email number address email and phone number number phone call phone phone address email email and email address address and phone address email number and email email and address and phone address email number number phone number one email email and phone number number phone number number phone call number number phone phone address email email and email address ### 5/5 — Daily go-to *2020-05-04, version 3.0.2* Absolutely love this app. I use it every night before bed to switch off and the “sleep” meditation to send me off to sleep. Even works wonders for my husband. Win-win. ### 2/5 — Promising but flawed -Wake only 70 secs *2020-03-28, version 2.7.1* I like this app on my iPhone but it’s less successful on the Apple Watch. You get a 3 minute mindfulness exercise which is great but the Apple Watch only stays awake for max 70 secs without you having to tap the screen which isn’t ideal when you are going through a breathe exercise. The app should stay on for the exercise then go off or the developers need to find another way to do the exercises within the watch’s wake time. I have deleted the app on my watch but kept it on my phone and I get messages on my watch reminding me to breathe etc. As I say promising but flawed. ### 3/5 — Good but needs work *2020-02-08, version 2.7.1* I like this app except I can’t figure out how to get it to prompt me throughout the day. It also times out and my watch goes dark while it’s working, which is frustrating. If these two things got better, this would be an excellent app. ### 3/5 — Looked promising *2020-02-05, version 2.7.1* Looked like this might be good but on my watch (series 5) the screen blurs when app goes into background after first cycle. ### 5/5 — Opportunity *2019-12-28, version 2.7.1* This app is an opportunity and an amazing app to become self improve ### 5/5 — Quote *2019-11-26, version 2.7.1* The quote of the day has quit populating. It’s been blank every day for a week. ### 4/5 — Good overall *2019-11-12, version 2.7.1* The meditations and breathing exercises are all around three minutes, so it does not feel like a huge commitment to complete one. However some of the breathing exercises go too fast. I can’t even breathe normally in that time! Still I think it is a good app. ### 3/5 — Don't working *2019-10-08, version 2.7.1* Apple watch series 2 :/ The app closes on start. ### 5/5 — Hi , longer meditations *2019-09-19, version 2.7.1* I wud like some longer meditations , a variety wud be good , 5 ,8,10 mins wud be good thanks , I like them immensely ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Delete app *2026-08-03, version 4.0.0* Keep deleting app and it won’t go ### 1/5 — Forced payment monthly *2025-02-07, version 4.0.0* Just download Didn’t enrolled any ID and password Most of all Mail function is not working ### 1/5 — Watch App nicht nutzbar... *2019-11-11, version 2.7.1* da sich das Display ausschaltet und das haptische Feedback kaum zu spüren ist. Die Verwendung der App auf der Watch ist mir am wichtigsten. ### 1/5 — The program attempted to charge my account after it was deleted. *2019-02-11, version 2.6.9* I deleted the app the first day I got it. And yet somehow it still attempted to charge me. The only thing that saved me. As I did not have a credit card on my account. ### 1/5 — No longer works on Apple Watch *2018-12-31, version 2.6.9* I like this app and have used it for some time, however the use on Apple Watch was hit and miss since the last update, but for the last few days has not worked atall. Have deleted & reinstalled on watch several times but no joy !!! ### 1/5 — watch app buggy *2018-10-25, version 2.6.3* frequent crashes. watch goes to sleep mid-session. no use of haptic feedback. ### 1/5 — 구매내역 환불요청이요 *2018-10-18, version 2.6.3* 구매내역 환불이요!!!! ### 1/5 — I didn’t authorize this to charge for a 6 month subscription! *2018-06-19, version 2.5.5* It’s taught me not to download apps and try them at all since it’s almost impossible to figure out how to get the money back. I might have purchased it on my own but now just feel PO’d about being taken advantage of. Not sure how I ended up with a 6 month subscription as I didn’t purposely subscribe to it 😕. I would like a refund please. ### 1/5 — Annoyed *2017-11-12, version 2.3.8* Had this app forever- used it on and off and also paid for access to more features. App recently stopped working on my iPhone 7 (which is up to date). When I re-downloaded it- all of the additional features- which I paid for- disappeared. It never had me set up a login originally (so I could not retrieve my previous services)-just had me pay via my Apple ID. I think the app should be better set up for situations like this- where someone is logged in through their Apple ID and pay for more features and then lose them if/when the app stops working and needs to be reloaded. Unfortunate. ### 1/5 — Great! But watch app needs work! *2017-09-26, version 2.3.7* Session time on watch still only works at three minutes. It wont change. Been like this for months ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome App Recommendation *2023-09-10, version 4.0.0* I bought this app as I’ve tried many others including headspace and realised I get more from this app than any of the others. As well as meditation I like to set up breath timings and this app allows you to do that. Excellent app I do recommend. ### 5/5 — Not working *2023-07-27, version 4.0.0* The app not working please check about the update to fix ### 5/5 — Great app! *2023-06-23, version 4.0.0* Love it! ### 5/5 — Breath *2022-07-22, version 4.0.0* I truly appreciate the breathing exercises and you giving us something to follow to breathe right. I don’t use this that much but I do use the breathing exercise. ### 5/5 — Perfection *2022-04-03, version 3.0.8* I have been using this app for a little bit a weeks you guys help people so much I’m sure everyone want to give you a five you guys are perfection I love you guys That’s why I love that ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2022-02-20, version 3.0.8* I have this app for over a year now and it is the best thing when I come home from a long day at work it helps me calm down before I go to bed and is great after you do yoga or exercise! The best app ever ### 5/5 — Mindful *2021-10-15, version 3.0.8* I love this app because it helps a lot with stress sadnesses and anger so I use this app a lot ### 5/5 — Perfect meditation for busy people *2021-08-10, version 3.0.8* This app has everything I need to make daily meditation a reality. ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2020-12-09, version 3.0.6* The 3 minute meditations are brilliant. Really give me a sense of well-being. Love the reminders to breath mindfully throughout the day.. this app is improving my days! Improving my ability to meditate and keeping me motivated!
