Just amazing...
I have used the app more since the update and I am really loving the diversity of voices. Really it’s not something people can give a low star rating because they didn’t like someone’s voice! I suffer with quite bad anxiety, panic and stress and I love how it has been so well catered for in the ‘fear’ and ‘overwhelmed’ meditation. It’s given me a great sense of stillness and relief from my difficult home circumstances which won’t ever change. (Carer). It’s so wonderful to have self guided support. I really sense the care in the voices and it moves me to tears of relief. So thank you, really honestly so much to you all. I hope to share this with a lot of people. XxShow lessMissus77

Thank you so much for your words, it's lovely to hear that the app is being so useful. You've already done so much but if you'd be interested in sharing your story for our website, do pop me an email at rohan@buddhify.com and we'd love to have your insights // RohanGood app, too slow to launch and run
I love the app, great variety of meditations - easy to work through, and works well for me, but the app is so slow to launch and run that it distracts from the experience. I’d give it 5 stars if not for that.ciaocibai

Hi there, we're very sorry that you're having a bad time with the new update. We are working on a couple of updates to make the loading sequence more streamlined and these are on track to be live in the next few days. Thank you for your practice // RohanUsed to love this app
I used to live this app and was a daily user. The update has basically stopped all that. The wheels take forever to load, when opening the app it also takes forever to bring up the wheel and when I try to change wheels it just crashes. I have only managed to listen to one meditation, any others I have tried just crash the app and now it won’t load at all - just stays on the loading screen with the ‘B’ logo. Very frustrating. I hope the crashes and loading speed can be fixed soon as it’s the best meditation app I’ve ever used and would hate to lose it!Show lessVeryexcell

We are really sorry you are experiencing an issue with using the app and thank you for letting us know - we will get this problem fixed asap. Could you email us on hello@buddhify.com, so we can find out a little further information from you, and get you back using buddhify as soon as possible. // LucyLove this app :)
I’ve tried to meditate numerous times over the years to no avail. I didn’t get on with headspace (absolutely no offence to them I think some people just click with some things and others don’t) I had all but given up but a friend recommended this to me when I was really struggling with awful anxiety. It helps me sleep and is so good to use in the middle of the day just to take 5 minutes. I like that there’s different voices as I do prefer some to others but it’s just personal taste. I love the new feature of being able to send a friend in need a meditation. I think it’s unfair to leave a negative review without first talking to them via email as they are so lovely. Thank you :)Show lessClaireybeary82

Thank you Claire, so pleased that buddhify has been so helpful. Have a great 2018 // RohanGood but a bit buggy.
I applaud the thinking behind this app. Meditation can make us better people and this app shows us how to do it easily and as often as we like.
But, there’s a but. We now live in a world where programmes improve - rather try and be right first time.
The problem with this methodology is that it is about the software, not the end user. But adherents of this ‘agile’ method are often too caught up in their ways and can forget the end user altogether. Issues that only effect 20% go on the backlog. The problem is - getting that 20% right makes something truly special.
So, a solo unguided meditation user won’t get a chime when the time is up. Or a beautifully crafted bit of prose might get spoiled by a needless typo that breaks the spell.
I hope you get these things and others right guys. I’m not sure there is any enlightenment to be had in anally retentive nit-pickery. Doesn’t feel like nirvana to me.
Suggestion time - meditation for boring meetings - especially those that include words like ‘ideation’ or, as previously mentioned, anything to do with being ‘agile’. You can keep your eyes open so look alert, while practicing the important concept of the ‘avoidance of suffering’. Defo the next growth area.Show lessWilliamsLeith

Thanks Dom, you make some great points. And getting that 20% is so important since that is what turns something great into something magical. Rest assured however that come new year we will be working on refinement and so if you'd be up for sending any other notes to support@buddhify.com we'll add those to our list/X-reference them with our list and look to resolve asap. Thanks again // Rohanso disappointed
this app really helped me get to sleep, and I even recommended it to others many times. I’m sad you’ve removed the voices that read those meditations and the meditations themselves! where is the 27 minute calm meditation? or the two 18 minute meditations which were in the meditation section? they were my lifeline to better sleep. I’ve searched all over and they’ve gone. And all the meditations are now read by the same voice, a voice which has odd pauses and quirks and is distracting rather than relaxing. I appreciate all that you do but I really miss those pieces of my life and I don’t think it’s possible to reverse the update. I really wish it was.Show lessmaybe sleepless for ever

Thanks for your review and we're pleased that the app has been so helpful in the past. There are 5/6 meditations (incl. Calm) which haven't yet been included in the new version since there isn't an obvious category for them. We will however be putting them in a Legacy category so that people such as you can still have access to them. If in the meantime however you'd like to receive an mp3 of those tracks let us know (hello@buddhify.com) and we'll happily provide those. Re: voices, there are more voices than before in buddhify to express the diversity and tastes of our users base. It is really hard to find voices that everyone likes and so we apologise if a particular voice isn't to your taste. All our recordings are done with presence and heart and so should you be able to explore the practices even with the voices where there is resistance, perhaps also including that resistance in your practice, then we'd encourage that. Do get in touch directly with us if you have any other questions. Thank you // RohanActually addictive
This app is fantastic! Easy to use and the tracks slot into your everyday activities so easily. I love using it so much I find myself looking for possible points during the day to use it (waiting for an appointment, walking to work, eating lunch, flying). I've tried meditation many times before but have never successfully stuck with it. I use this app every single day now and am noticing a difference already with my mindfulness and emotional state. Plus I don't snooze my alarm any more once I've done my morning meditation. Thank you Buddhify! Only complaint is that sometimes I go to open the app and it won't load, I have to restart my phone sometimes to get it going. But the many pros outweigh that minor con.Show lessNewbie Buddha

I have just started with mindfulness and found this app. Honestly this is amazing with a variety of meditations for your needs. It has helped me relax with my constant back pain that gets uncontrollably uncomfortable at times where all I can do is toss and turn and that is with pain medication to help too... To have a still restful night. Thanks Buddhify it's well worth having this app. Loving it!Show lessDeb doodlebug
