Plenty of other meditation apps
I rarely feel compelled to give a review, but this app just does not deserve an average rating of 4.7 stars (especially when there are so many others!). Try 10% Happier, or Calm, or Headspace before you try this one.
I recently purchased the monthly premium (very glad I didn’t do annual!) and quickly realized there are a lot of bugs. It looks nice at first, but use it for a bit and you’ll find them. For instance, I couldn’t even see a list of the sessions in the course I chose. I also tried adding it to my favorites and it just plain doesn’t work. These seem like pretty basic features, no?
I emailed support about two weeks ago asking for a refund... it’s nice they have a support feature built into the app, but would be nicer if they looked at it...

Very helpful
I have been using this app for a few years now. I normally just use the silent (with occasional bells) option, but sometimes add background sounds if I'm in a noisy place. It feeds into the Apple Health statistics too. A very helpful tool.
One annoyance - if you hit pause, it pauses the circle of dots OK, but doesn’t pause the timer (the one that feeds into the Health app). That means the Health app is showing more Mindful Minutes than it should.

Meditation makes every day better
Whenever I feel tired, stressed or just need a boost of calm energy I go to this app. I love how you can choose the length of time for the meditation, background sounds and guidance. It is truly a beautiful and calm experience that is so good for you!

Great start to the day
I’ve been using the app for a few years and it has helped create a balanced start to the day. It’s easy to use, great for beginners or advanced and you can come back to balance no matter where you are in the world.
Highly recommend!

The best app despite cheesy narratives
First of all, I must admit that I find the idea of using an app to meditate is a bit silly, other than a timer with a bell, as people have been meditating without apps for millennia. Nevertheless, I’m now using other apps that connect to the new Apple health, so I thought why not use an app that feeds into it. Aside from several apps that are ridiculous in complexity and price, this one looks a bit more reasonable and usable long term.
The first few uses were good, except it added a new dimension to meditating: constant eye-rolling at some of the cheesy phrases: “find a position with dignity”, “offer your breath back to the space”...etc. “Congratulate yourself”...Congratulate yourself after a retreat - not 5 minutes of meditation! I realize that any meditation app will be made by new agers, but I find it distracting from the task at hand. I recommended that the narratives be tested by people who like to meditate with a minimum of woo.
I will persist in using this when I am not using the simpler “mindfulness bell”.

An easy way to include mindfulness in the midst of a hectic schedule
This app is great!
Easy to use, customizable and with notifications makes it easy to hold your self accountable for some daily time set aside to practice mindfulness. I have turned on many friends and family to the app. The only drawback I’ve found in in trying to get HR data from the app using Apple Watch

Removed useful features to introduce useless ones
I’ve had this app since 2011 and the last year the iterations have gone downhill. Most annoyingly they no longer let you customize reminders (why would THIS be a feature to remove???). Do yourself a favour and get any of the other 4826284847 meditation apps on the market, since this one is indistinguishable to worse than the other big ones.

Would benefit from some more free options
I really love using this app, I’ve been using it every night recently before I go to sleep to try and help me sleep better. However I feel as tho for those of us who aren’t at a place where we are able to purchase premium don’t have a large variety to chose from. Which I understand but I’d very much benefit from having a few more free options available, that would increase my overall happiness with this app.

Wonderful Mediation App Ever!!
So my Aunt told me about this app, she said she had used in her time of difficulty with her anxiety and it help her out a lot. I now use this app every single day, it had became a part of my lifestyle, something I will continue to do for the rest of my life. I really enjoy the different types and courses they have in mediating. From the beginners to advanced ppl in mediation will greatly benefit from this app.

Useful meditation timer
I primarily use this app to as a timer for silent meditation. Sometimes I wish there was a 20 minute option along with the 5, 15, and 30. I like the background noise choices and usually use the beach wave sounds, which reminds me of my retreat center. Have not used the spoken voice guided meditation so cannot comment on that. Have been using the timer daily for a long time and am happy.
