Amazing! The best app available!
I searched for a long time, trying many different mindful apps, but none worked. Untill I found Calm. I’ve had this app a little over 3 years now (amazing as I delete most of my apps within 10 months of installing!) After a month of using it for free, I wanted more. I subscribed and I keep doing so. This app has helped me to become my better self. I’m calmer in stressful situations, I’m becoming mindful in all aspects of my life. I feel freedom in my mind and body. I have anxiety and depression and with this app, they have become way more manageable (dont get me wrong, theres still bad days- but they aren’t half as often or nearly as bad as they use to be). I am a happier person. I thank the developers of this app and Tamara Levet for the amazing stories and meditations. I love the masterclasses and the yoga. I use the sleep stories every night to help me get to sleep- and it works! I can’t give enough praise to this app. It’s honnestly the only mindful app you’ll need or want. It has changed my life for the better and I am eternally grateful. Namaste 🙏

Gave me anxiety lol
too much going on, and then asks for payment instantly. deleted
Can I get my money back?
My phone was malfunctioning and i haven’t been able to stop my trial before the purchase went through. I didn’t get any email confirmation or notifications to give me a chance to opt out which makes it miserable for me to keep track.
You are badly bruising my bank account and I do not feel calm about that!

Gouging money from those who need help.. sickening
All apps like calm seem to charge insanely high fees for their services.. $400 for this app.. come on!
Why do they do it? Well it’s simple, they know some people that actually have issues and need a stress relief will at times pay anything to try and get it.
It’s a pretty sick business practice considering a lot of these people are stressed due to money issues.
Do not support developers like this.. otherwise we will not see a stop this.

Exploiting Mental Health
Okay I get that to run an app their needs to be some costs. So having limited access was okay because I could at least get my short breathing exercises when I have an anxiety attack.
However, now Breathe has changed this completely by requiring you pay for a very expensive yearly membership! I was super choked tonight when I couldn’t listen to the meditations that help me sleep at night.
For a lot of us with mental health issues, who are already on tight budgets, more the. 80 dollars a year is not affordable.
Pretty disgusting that instead of looking at your user base you take the time line your own pockets instead. So for all of us with mental health issues who depend on your app, thanks for nothing.

Caveat emptor
As a mental health professional I decided to explore Calm. Initial impressions are good : there is lots of Choice and the interface looks good. However on closer inspection a lot of the features blur the boundaries between ‘choice’ and ‘gimmick’. Does it matter how many different photos of waterfalls there are? And underneath the various meditations the technique is essentially the same. So I really question those who think this is good value. A lot what is on offer is available for free from your local library. The lovely - looking interface carries a catch - white font on light blue is hard to read; thus it was I accidentally tapped on a free trial. I thought I would be able to pull out but the ‘subscription’ section did not explain when my free trial expired and, helpfully, apple gave all my card details so before I could cancel £36 was taken from my account. Apple refused my immediate request for a refund. If Calm want to charge so much that is not illegal, but not giving subscribers a chance to confirm a choice, not advising or warning when the trial is coming to an end , and grabbing money for a whole year at a time with no recourse ( the latter, admittedly, being Apples fault) seems mercenary. So has it helped me feel calm? What do you think...?

Thankyou for such a beautiful, calm, user friendly app
I love this app so much, I don’t have premium so you can’t access everything but they do give you a good amount of testing options to experience before paying the yearly subscription, which is very helpful. I’m going to be getting premium for sure. This app is fundamental to connecting back with ourselves and leaving all the rush and push of technology and daily stuff behind. There are so many beautiful nature sounds to choose from for free as well. The great thing too is that they leave it open and don’t connect it to your regular spiritual sort of stuff that often comes with this kind of thing, so if you want to connect spiritually you can in your own way and with your own beliefs but they don’t lead you to do it with any kind of beliefs like yoga stuff or whatever.

21days of Calm ... and so much more
Do you experience any stress in your life? Or, perhaps your life is spinning out of control. Or, if not, you may find yourself somewhere in between. The Calm app does not solve life‘s problems but it does help reframe them to give us a better way of living with and living through our problems. One of the greatest features is the Daily Calm which is a 10+ minute meditation. This does not mean zoning out to some strange mantra and pursuing another mystical realm! Instead, the user is guided through various styles of mindfulness. At the conclusion, guidance is given on how to approach life or reframe our issues in order to better live life rather than life dominating you. If you do choose to subscribe, there are probably hundreds of targeted series (and growing)-/ everything from sleeping better to dealing with relationships with others, dealing with loss and even dealing with yourself. Using this app consistently (I use it frequently, not daily—I sometimes forget or get caught up in my business!) will surely help you not control your life but learn to not be controlled by your life.

Beware
I cancelled at day six of the trial. They charged my card for the full year subscription on day 7. They will not issue a refund. Stay away.
Thiefs!
Such crap! Charged the subscription without a warning that my trial was ending and when I tried to reach their support it was impossible! Do not do the trial unless you’re sure you want to pay the 70$ because they’ll charge you without warning!
