## What is Art of Zen?

Letting go, being in a calm and balanced state is an extremely beautiful inner experience. What if you could visualize this supreme state of consciousness? The Art of Zen application does exactly this. It measures your inner Zen level with the help of the NeuroSky biofeedback system. It then transforms this information into dynamic flowing colors.

The Art of Zen helps to stabilize a fully aware yet meditative state. Various sounds signal when you are entering certain levels of meditation.

Choose from a variety of color themes: Earth, Fire, Ice, Wild, Pure.

To add to the visual experience, the Art of Zen allows you to visualize eye blinks and sounds. 

IMPORTANT: This application requires the NeuroSky MindWave Mobile or MindWave Mobile-Plus headset available from www.neurosky.com!

Art of Zen is a universal app being available for iPad, iPhone and iPod.

### 1/5 — Dr

*2016-04-08*

no instruction, no support
do not waste your money

**Developer response:** Actually, there is plenty of instruction:

### 2/5 — Amateur, annoying UI, sounds and visuals.

*2015-09-06*

I have been trying a few apps with my neurosky mind wave. I found this one to be poor and not conducive to relaxation or clarity. 

The sound effects are poorly recorded with background noise, they are jarring and unpleasant (specially when you're trying to clear your mind). 
There are much better apps for the same price in
my opinion.

Should have known, seeing as it doesn't appear to be maintained proactively.

### 1/5 — I like the effort, but it's useless.

*2013-07-13*

I read the description on the developer's page for this app, and it sounded really interesting.
But the animation has no smoothing effect, and I didn't hear any sound effects, despite restarting the app several times and making sure my volume was up.
Besides that, I really don't see how the stylized version of the otherwise raw data presented by this app has any value.  I wasn't meditating at all, and I stayed in the 'Samadhi' zone.
I'm sure that there's more useful ways of achieving healthy meditative states than pretending to do so with this app.
