  • Smiling mind

    I first started using the app 3 years ago when my mum introduced it to me to help to deal with my stress. I found it really relaxing and it always helped to calm me down when I got overwhelmed I. I don’t meditate often but when I do it is usually because I’m feeling anxious and/ or stressed and it really helps to put my mind at ease. I’ve tried multiple at such as 10 percent and headspace and I find smiling mind 9/10 is more helpful. If I could say one thing though, I would love it see it compatible for the Apple Watch in the future for convenience but apart from that I loved the app and would recommend for people who only meditate once in a while when they need to relieve some stress.

    Thank you for such a lovely review! It's great to hear that you've been finding our programs so helpful :) We would love to integrate with Apple Watch and the Health app and this is something that we are actively investigating. As a not for profit with limited resourcing we often aren't able to immediately action projects or new feature builds, so we appreciate your patience :) Thanks again for your review and happy meditating!
  • Nice app and great meditations

    Nice meditation app, with option to donate to a non-profit instead of a daft expensive subscription model. Would be nice if it would also sync with apple health, but that's only a minor suggestion. A bit glitchy when offline, but I can't bring myself to dock it a star.

    Feedback to the developer - please put a donate option in the app rather than boot me to a webpage to make it easy for me to donate! The webpage is too much hassle.

    Thank you for the lovely review! We agree that it would be great to have your mindful minutes connect to your Health App and this is something that we have been investigating. As a not for profit providing a free app, we often have many more features and projects than we can immediately deliver with our resources, so we appreciate your patience :) I've also passed on your feedback about the in-app donation function. Thanks again for sharing and happy meditating!
  • In Love.

    I’m in love with this app. I’m recently struggling with a bit of stress and the calm voices of this app helps a lot. There are many different courses to take and they ask how you’re feeling before and after your session. I think this app is way better then any meditation app you have to pay for, thank you; smiling mind. You help everyone with your non-profit organization.

    Thanks so much for sharing your great 5-star review! We are so glad to hear that our app is helping you out! Keep up the great work!
  • Thank you

    Thank you so much for finally doing this. For finally having a meditation app that is truly free and ad free that actually helps. One suggestion; I font know how simple it would be but I would really like if this app were comparable with the health app on Apple phones because I manage may things form there and would love to track my “mindful minutes” from there. Again, thank you.

  • No support channel, app keeps logging me out

    I quite like your app however as having issues at the moment where it asks me to login everytime I open the app. There is also no obvious channel to report bugs.

  • Started well, then collapsed

    Initially was really pleased to find a free, simple meditation app, but things quickly got frustrating. After a couple of weeks, the app routinely signed me out and I had to keep entering and saving new passwords until in the end I could t remember them and the very act of accessing the app was fraught and so defeating the object. It seems quite glitchy after an initial period of finding voices on the app not annoying- it was all just nicely low key and there was none of this weird lack of speaking ability you get on some other high profile apps. Sad to part company with this, but it’s become too faffy to access, often late at night when I’m trying to sleep. All it says is ‘your session has expired’ when I’ve only just signed in, plus the swirl of doom appears and nothing loads once signed in, which is the their problem. Plus, during meditations I found the recordings randomly stop. I removed anything which might be overloading my phone and still the app didn’t work. It could be really good if these problems were sorted out. I liked the lay-out and the subject areas and types of meditation-use being laid out so I hope they manage to fix them.

  • Health App

    I love this app. It’s guided meditations have been great for me and AMAZING for my 11 year old. He has a bit of high anxiety. We started to do the meditations at bedtime and he falls asleep quickly and rest soundly to make for a good morning.

    I am giving 4 stars instead of 5 because, unless I am missing something, I can’t connect Smiling Minds to my health app. I would love to be able to track my mindful minutes there. Any chance that ability to link is coming in future updates?

  • highly recommend

    this app is extremely useful for those who suffer from anxiety and stress disorders like myself. i would 100% recommend this to people like me who can’t get their mind to settle at night. by filling out the simple pre and post emotional survey after each session, it was easy to see how the meditations and lessons improved my mood and to be completely honest....i was quite impressed. you don’t need to sign, subscribe or purchase anything which i am grateful for. unlike other meditation apps, smiling mind has been simple to follow along and feel better everyday. 11/10 would recommend and give it a go because it’s FREE!!!! 💕💕💕
    by the way i’m only 12 and this has still helped me just as much as it helps adults....

  • Awesome app! Would recommend!

    The meditations always leave me feeling relaxed and peaceful after a stressful day. It’s amazing that this app if completely free, as a lot of meditation apps cost money. Keep up the great work!

    My only suggestion would be to add stories- like stories to help us fall asleep. That usually does the trick for me. Anyway, have a nice day!

  • Helps with friends/school stress

    I have only been on for a few days but it’s the best app I’ve EVER downloaded.
    It helps me deal with the stress of my friends and classmate and also takes my mind off the hard school work I have the next day and helps me focus on what’s happening now.
    Like they say even 5 minutes is enough if your in a rush but I usually do 7-8.
    Best free app ever!
