Leave a Review Smiling Mind
I recommend
I have tried to sleep and meditate for a long time but now I can do it! I memorized the meditation(s) so I can do it alone! I love this and without it I had never been able to fall asleep before but now, I’m feeling great! Thank you to whoever that made this and took me into a journey. I wish though to motivate me is that maybe you could add like jewels in there so you could motivate people and/or kids to come here to this app everyday. I’d also like more of a reminder to come on here to start a good habit. Other than those I’ve been doing great. Thank you.Show lessDragonAbbie
Great app if you struggle overthinking
As someone who struggles with anxiety and overthinks every possible situation having an app like this, that is also completely free, is absolutely amazing. The interface is simple and the meditations are very useful. I hope this app stays in the app store for a long time to come. I have recommended to many others who are either sleep deprived or over anxious!Show lessRyanPearsall
I love it
This is the first meditation app I have found that does not force you to start a subscription. There are multiple sessions you can try for free. So far there have been no requests for payment. Which I greatly appreciate because we shouldn’t have to pay to improve our minds. Great sessions. Very calming. Teaching me many techniques I can use by myself. Amazing app. I am so thankful for it.Show lesshiiiiiiiiiiiioii
Decent but not great
This app is amazing in that it is free and without ads. Promoting mindfulness means promoting Neuro development and I am all for that. However, it just doesn’t have the eye-catching features of other meditation apps like Calm. There is one person who leads the majority of meditations. His voice is bland and it would be nice to have other people with more soothing voices. There are no real fun aspects to this app or things drive me back to it, but for a free meditation apps without ads, it is worth a try!Show lessGRAHAM!!
Incredible App
I recommend this app (100% worth the read)
I am a Teenager. Throughout my life so far, I have dealt with many stressful situations. From Big basketball matches to Big Tests and Exams to Self esteem to Personal issues. All of which have caused without a doubt, unreasonable and unnecessarily high amounts of stress.
I am not going to sugarcoat when I say this. And I am not going to be like “wow! This app! You must download!”. No. I will be real and sincere.
Personally, Through these tough experiences I have not been using smiling mind. I could never be bothered. It wasn’t until as of latently where I thought it would be a great idea to download it. Smiling mind has made things so much easier and less stressful. It has made me focus on my breathing through stressful situations and it has made me realise that the stress is not real. It is your mind creating negative thoughts and thinking of all the bad things. It has also made me more calmer and relaxed as a person. I am able to go day to day with a relaxed and healthy and peace at mind thanks to this app.
So please download. For the better. :)Show less-ELITEBALLER

This is great to hear, thank you!Excellent for beginners, free
I’m completely new to meditation, but wanted to try after I realized I was having a difficult time responding instead of reacting to strong emotions I was having.
This app has really helped. They have a wide range of types and lengths of meditations and it all has felt very easy to start. My favorite have been the bite size - the “comma in your day” meditation is less than 3 minutes and helpful to do when I just need a small reset out in the world.
Highly recommend!Show lessYoga Cyclist
good concept, wasnt my thing
the bell sound after exercises stressed me out, and the instructions were said a bit too fast for me to obey them before the next one was said.
the intro exercises used very biased language which promised me great things, and the first 1-minute simple meditation tried to tell me “this is it”. im stressed right now and dont want my feelings to be dictated to me. it rubs me the wrong way how badly this app wants me to love it.
in addition, there are accessibility concerns. its all audio with no captions or transcripts. i struggle to process sound sometimes and it was hard to follow. i cant imagine how much worse it would be for someone hard of hearing. and someone Deaf would not be able to access the content at all.
on the plus side, the voice is friendly, the exercises are good, the interface is simple and nice, and the animations are quite cute. kudos to the devs. it’s a good concept, it just didn’t work for me very well personallyShow lessChuck icududuihhfgtgh
Voices
I actually rate this app a 4.9/5. only .1 of a star becos i would not use this as a sleep meditation lol the woman's voice is nice but she speaks much to loudly and properly and the music isn't rly all that relaxing for me to even dream about falling asleep listening to the mediation LOL but it's still nice to prep for sleep and then switch to another app! if for the sleep meditations, they were to speak in a more soft, hushed tone and the music was more like those binaural beats tunes, i would say this app was 10/5!!Show lessNO RLY. WHAT IS THE POINT
Coping with hearing loss
I’m learning to cope with hearing loss and 24/7 tinnitus. By taking time out for meditation, when I feel frustrated or just overwhelmed, I’m learning to cope with a changing situation.stephmardell
