Smiling Mind made my hive symptoms bearable
Hi Smiling Mind developers,
I just wanted to tell you how grateful I am for you providing such high quality & free medication recordings that has srsly relieved my stress.
I suddenly developed hives all over my body from eating smt & im still trying to deal with my current situation. My prescribed medication has not been very helpful as there is no cure for hives. I don’t know how long my body will stay like this. Additionally, I have been under a lot of pressure my some family members for ending up in the situation I am in now (partially b/c they lack a scientific understanding of my condition).
All this sudden bodily changes and being blamed for smt that I have no control over caused stress to really build up. On the 3rd day (today as of writing this) of my hives symptoms, I finally broke down. Thankfully I have my grandmother who is incredibly understanding.
I then remembered abt the Smiling Mind App on my phone. I just played the Stress recording & just by doing the 4-6 breathing exercise, I calmed down immediately.
I’m so thankful & grateful for your team in developing such an accessible service. I will continue to use your app as a face my hives as well as other stressors I face in the future.
Thank you Smiling Mind!Show lessVeteran Line player

Thank you so much for sharing your story with us!Essential for lockdown!
I’m a student going through a little bit of hardship, my cognitive behavioural therapist has suggested for the new years i take up mediation.
Obviously, me being young, i thought it was incredibly stupid.
But now, i enjoy it. Although my peers don’t see eye to eye on it with me, i feel happy and at peace. And the narrators voice is amazing. I struggle with sensory experiences so voices can be a tough one, the narrator is calming, he sounds kind and cheerful. It’s a great way to start the day and end in the evening.
I highly recommend this for anyone looking for something to gratify themselves during lockdown.Show lessJadeypire

Thank you so much for sharing!A wonderful app!
I love this app! I chose this app to try because of it being completely free, and I so appreciate that it is a free app for listeners. I was skeptical of meditation, but after giving this app a try, it has changed my mind. I listen to these meditations every night to help me unwind from my day and fall asleep.
It has a great variety of programs to choose from.
Personally, I really like that the meditation music continues to play even once the meditation ends, as it helps me to continue to relax and fall asleep without the abrupt ending. Instead of getting rid of this option, maybe have a sleep timer setting option so that listeners can choose if they want the music to continue playing or shut off immediately when the meditation ends. (Similar concept to a sleep timer that many music apps have).
Thanks for having such great options for meditations, and keeping it as a free app for listeners!Show lessGncx

Thank you so much for sharing your experience of the app and some suggestions for us, we really appreciate it!Simply the best
My go to meditation app. I tried headspace and Calm and some others but this one is the only one that sticks. The catalogue of programs and meditations is wide. The voice is great. The guidance is on point. It’s easygoing and full of empathy. It feels like a friend that lives in my phone. I didn’t encounter any bugs or issues over the years of using it. All this awesomeness for free! I wish it came with Apple Health integration and Apple Watch extensions but hey! It’s all free so I can’t complain.Show lessWaxmaster Jay

Thanks so much for sharing your review & suggestion for an Apple Health and Apple Watch intentions.The best meditation app!
I tried a few meditation apps and found this app is the best. The guided voice is very calm, the quality of sound is great, which are very important in my view.
A small request for any future guided meditation: I noticed some sessions ended with “open your eyes with a smile in your mind” and some ended with “open your eyes”. I personally prefer the former one as it does make me smile. The latter one is ok as well, however I think it finished rather quick, especially when we are ‘gradually’ opening our eyes. If we can make it slower that would be more perfect!
In general, it’s an awesome app!Show lessnotimpressedts
Good mindfulness app but very buggy lately
I’ve used this app for 2-3 years now, but the last 2-3 months it keeps alerting about network errors and I have to manually tap the screen (sometimes multiple times) for the bubble (loading) screen to disappear and be able to select anything. Which after almost every time I select anything I have to manually tap the screen to dismiss the bubble loading screen. It’s been quite annoying the past few months when I use this app. Once they fix these issues, I could change rating to 5 starsShow lessVol4Life27
I needed this in my life
I just started using this app, along with my child, and I don’t know what I would do without it. We both have ADHD so sitting is hard, but knowing I can start off with 1 or 3 minute sessions is not overwhelming. They are so useful and help me to stay calm or more focused. I do want to build up to longer ones, but baby steps. I just used the SOS because I was agitated and I needed to calm down and it worked! Yesterday I used the gratitude one and felt happy. Also, thank you for making this app free. I can’t fit more money into our budget currently so I can’t thank you enough for this. My daughter just started yesterday but I think it will help with her anxiety. Also, the daily check in is a great featureShow lessKatieI70s

Thank you so much for sharing your story. It means so much to us when we can hear feedback like this directly from our users. Keep up the great work!Refusing to open? Other than that it's great
I've been using this app for a while now and have never had this problem. It won't open! I tried deleting and re-installing and I'm still having the same problem. It normally works just fine.
Were it working normally my review is that I really enjoy this app. I use it most often for falling asleep at night and for a quick reset when I'm overwhelmed or stressed. I'm fairly new to meditation so I feel like it has been perfect in getting me accustomed to it. It gets five stars from me once I can open it again.Show lessPulsibaby
Software Issue
DISCLAIMER: This app is great for guided meditations. I love the programs and the voice and the actual use I get out of the app.
With that in mind, I have been running into loading issues as well as the app refusing to open even after turning my phone off or even deleting the app. I get lots of “timed error” messages which is confusing because the WiFi/data work for every other app on my phone and load just fine. The main reason I wanna give this review is so that hopefully someone will take notice and fix the issue I’m running into. I love the content. I just think the software needs tweaking. Thank y’all!!Show lessgriffinmj
