It’s a true gem and stands tall amongst the commercial apps that are only here for money. ### 5/5 — New Layout & Schema 5⭐️ and a Big Request *2025-10-14, version 4.32* Really impressed with the new design, more seamless interactions. A big request is to add Apple CarPlay Support, which’ll be so beneficial to access content(wisdom, Meditations, etc.) during commutes, roadtrips, etc. ### 5/5 — Life changing wisdom *2025-08-28, version 4.21* Short and practical ### 5/5 — A Life Changing App *2025-08-25* ✨🙏🏾🐉Thank you for this app, although it has its links to work out (as do we all) it has vastly improved my quality of life from the inside to the outside, truly something to experience & not just from my words here ✨🙏🏾🐉 **Developer response:** Thank you so much for sharing your experience🫶! We're grateful to know the app has supported your journey and made a positive difference in your life. Your words remind us why we do this, and we’ll keep working to make the app more helpful for you and others! Wishing you continued peace and joy on your journey 🌿🌸✨! ### 5/5 — Truly spiritual package in One app *2025-08-02, version 4.13* Have this app since its inception, 2019!! Love the features, contents, easy to navigate and meditate on your finger tips!! Yoga and much more is fun to watch. Ancient wisdom from Gurudev is cherry on the top. ### 5/5 — This update is awesome *2025-07-09* This update is awesome **Developer response:** So happy to hear that! 😊 Your support means the world to us. We’re working on even more updates to make your journey even better! 🙏✨! ### 5/5 — App not updating on iPad *2025-06-18, version 4.12* The new app is not getting updated on iPad. Please look into it. ### 5/5 — The Best *2025-06-17, version 4.12* This app is an essential tool in my spiritual growth toolbox. It has made all the difference for me to develop and maintain a daily practice that supports my sense of wellbeing and ability to be of service. ### 5/5 — Deep Meditation experience *2025-06-15, version 4.12* The wisdom, meditations and breathing+yoga techniques by Gurudev bring a very deep experience and very positive transformation. ### 4/5 — Starting *2025-03-15, version 4.11* The app isn’t opening. Can you please rectify this glitch? ### 5/5 — Changed my life 180 degrees *2025-02-06* All I can say is that I wouldn’t be alive today if it weren’t for these practices and techniques that I learned from the Art of Living. I was diagnosed with ADHD and had huge issues with focusing and woke up with anxiety attacks every day. After these programs I couldn’t say that I have ADHD anymore! I feel so established in myself and I feel high off life! So grateful. So so so grateful. Thank you! **Developer response:** Thank You for sharing! It is so rewarding to read such kind words! We are filled with gratitude! ### 5/5 — My favorite app *2025-01-30* I use this app everyday. First thing in the morning I listen to my customized daily practice session. Then I listen to wisdom talks when I go for a walk, in the evenings I do my custom evening practice and then at night I listen to chanting before bed. I love this app! 🙏❤️ **Developer response:** Thank You for your Kind words! We are so glad that you are enjoying the journey! ### 5/5 — Well designed app *2024-10-19, version 4.6* It has daily SKY Practice (most impactful breathing technique) and guided Sahaj Samadhi meditation practice (an ancient meditation practice). Plus all of Gurudev’s knowledge and guided meditations. A treat for all spiritual seekers !! ### 5/5 — Love the community *2024-10-17, version 4.6* The app gives me access into the in person and online art of living community. ### 5/5 — Amazing App. *2024-10-17, version 4.6* What an amazing app. for both the Seasoned Meditator & also one new to Meditation. Check it out…You won’t be disappointed! ### 5/5 — Ever improving experience *2024-10-17, version 4.6* I have been using Journey app for several years now for my breathwork and meditation daily. Kudos to the Journey team on consistently improving the experience. Keep up the good work. ### 5/5 — Unique app in the breathwork and meditation space *2024-10-17, version 4.6* This app is unique blend of great meditations, breathwork resources and especially if you have taken the Art of Living programs.

Just do it. **Developer response:** Thank you for your heartfelt support! We're thrilled to hear how the Journey app and SKY meditation are making such a positive impact on your life. Wishing you continued growth and joy on your journey! 🙏✨ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No pricing structure or description - very deceptive *2024-08-15* The organization is good and the courses are good, but the folks curating this app follow very shady business practices. It asks you for a membership of 5.99 - you have no idea of what that get you. I signed up for the Journey+ advertised on the website thinking it would get you basic app access - nope… nothing. It’s stunningly ridiculous how deceptive that title is. I’m curious if Guruji even know how the business folks are ruining the reputation **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry for any confusion regarding the membership.We have taken your feedback seriously and improved on the price descriptions! If you need any assistance, please reach out—we’d love to help! 🙏 ### 1/5 — Money minded *2022-04-23* You can buy the membership but the app does not have a cancel membership button 😆 I believe in meditation but if the goal of this organization is to really help people, you should provide this free for people who have taken the course. Atleast during pandemic, you should have provided free courses for people worldwide. You know we all were suffering. This is the least you could do. I feel this org is very money minded. I am quite disappointed. Expected better. ### 1/5 — No integrity *2021-10-03* There are two versions of their breathing exercises. When I joined the group, I was told, once a week, the long version of the guided exercise will be free for life. From last few years they started charging money monthly. I did not mind paying as I can see it was needed to run local center. When pandemic started, they stopped doing the long version of guided exercise. However they kept charging money. The cult leader Ravi Shankar project himself as God. However, he does not have integrity when it come to money. Point is, the App should be free for anyone who did the course. ### 1/5 — A lot of bugs *2020-11-01, version 2.7* Bugs are in every page of the app. ### 1/5 — App not working after update *2020-09-29, version 2.4* I have updated app, purchased subscription but it’s not working :( Kindly help donot want to miss my SKY ### 1/5 — Very sketchy payment system *2020-08-08* First of all- why are we paying for this? I was shocked to learn that they were charging us for this app. Especially since there is NOTHING on the app description that says you have to pay for it. Did we not already pay for the Art of Living classes? This should be free. I still don’t even know how much I’ve been charged over the past few months. All I know is that I’m being charged. I hope they don’t drain my account. To top it all off, there is no way to cancel my “subscription”. All I had to do was provide my thumbprint to pay for something that I didn’t even know I was paying for. Now I have to keep paying even though I don’t want to. Please provide us a way to cancel the subscription. This is not ok to do to people. ### 1/5 — No cancel subscription option *2020-06-18, version 1.4.0* They don’t provide cancellation option for subscription only allow users to pay for subscription.App provides automatic monthly renewal and doesn’t provide ability to cancel the service. Querying the support leads to multiple emails with no cancellation. App charges users outside the apple store. ### 1/5 — Shady *2020-05-26, version 1.3.4* No way to cancel membership other than to call and wait two business days for them to “process the paperwork”. Why can I sign up and put in payment directly in the app but can’t cancel with jumping through hoops? ### 2/5 — No customer support *2023-05-28, version 3.2.8* I did the aol course and loved it. Still do the meditation. This app has some useful features but isnt necessary after the course. The issue is no customer support. Staff does not respond to emails or calls: if you have an issue, you are on your own. Surprising considering the nature of the app which supports participants who are teying to implement the method. ### 2/5 — App isn't working *2020-05-30, version 1.3.4* The app won't open and is glitching. I haven't been able to make it to the main screen. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — My spiritual corner *2026-05-16, version 4.40* Go to place for my daily dose of quietness, peace and to just BE myself. I took the premium sub and immensely benefited working with it. ### 5/5 — Appreciate new version *2026-03-16, version 4.39* New journey app is friendly and enjoying sleep and anxiety 👍🏼 looking forward for new adventures 🙏 ### 5/5 — Guide to spiritual life *2026-03-15, version 4.39* One of the best meditation knowledge and yoga apps it’s a complete package ### 5/5 — Super App *2026-03-12* Simple, inspiring and full of powerful knowledge - this app truly supports my spiritual journey. **Developer response:** Thank you for being part of our journey as well! And taking time out to rate us! We are so glad to hear you kind words! ### 5/5 — I meditate everyday because of this app *2026-03-11, version 4.39* I created my habit to meditate regularly because of this app! Hands down the best app with so many free meditations! ### 5/5 — Thank you for this app! *2026-03-11, version 4.39* This is a complete one stop shop for my mental and emotional well being! I love it ### 5/5 — Life changing! *2026-03-11, version 4.39* I tell everyone about this app! It’s so easy to use and helps me meditate, breathe - RELAX! It’s the best ### 5/5 — Best to none for meditation and wisdom *2026-02-04, version 4.39* Everyday life in bliss ### 5/5 — Absolutely loving the new look! *2026-02-04, version 4.39* Love the new content and notifications…nough to remind me of self care! ### 5/5 — A must have for meditation enthusiasts *2025-12-10, version 4.33* This app has grown up so much last couple of years or so! So much useful content and rendering. In fact the thing I learnt recently that the YouTube meditations or talks of Gurudev can also be accessed through this app ad-free! That is such a blessing. Other than that so many micro learning modules to continue learning after the coursework. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
