I’m not good at forcing myself to sit quietly and meditate in silence. Finding the Aura app has solved this. I can choose a guided meditation in the length and subject that works for me. Thank you, Aura! ### 5/5 — Good reads *2026-07-09, version 3.19.122* I’m pretty new here, and from what I have been listening to I enjoy all the topics to choose from. It’s really important for the person speaking to have a very calming voice. I am building my favorite coaches that have a very comforting voice to my list of favorites. If the voice is too high pitch I make sure to bypass that coach. I particularly enjoy the meditations, however, anything less than 15 minutes long I will start to listen and when I’m really interested the meditation is over. I love that Aura has an auto play, so I don’t need to worry about a meditation ending as much because it will play another one. That keeps the continuity of what I am listening to and is very relaxing. I am glad I found Aura it helps me sleep longer than my usual four hours of sleep, and is my main reason for listening. ### 5/5 — I decided to do the 7 day free trial and I haven’t been disappointed. *2026-07-05, version 3.19.122* So far so good! I am only on day one but I am impressed so far. There is so much content on here that I love so I’m pretty sure I will continue my free trial once it ends ### 4/5 — So far so good *2026-06-26, version 3.19.117* It’s the second day of my free trial and I like the meditations. There are many more features which I am looking forward to exploring. ### 5/5 — Very relaxing app *2026-06-23, version 3.19.117* Enjoyed the free trial and might consider subscribing if I can afford it ### 5/5 — Calm *2026-06-20, version 3.19.117* Relaxation ### 3/5 — Love the app! Issue with auto log out and not recognizing sign I. Credentials *2026-06-20, version 3.19.117* When the app is logged in it’s awesome! I use it every night to fall asleep. The app has randomly logged me out 3 times and each time logging back in is next to impossible! It doesn’t recognize my credentials, and it takes forever to send the email to reset the password. It’s beyond frustrating and annoying in an era where Face ID should be sufficient! I will probably research similar apps when my subscription ends to find an app that functions properly ### 4/5 — Hypnosis sleep *2026-06-15, version 3.19.117* Didn’t work. Going back to forest stream white noise. ### 2/5 — Still been charged after cancelling *2026-06-13, version 3.19.117* I did the free trial ( which was great) however I cancelled the subscription but I have still been charged for it . ### 5/5 — Just what I needed *2026-06-13, version 3.19.117* I wanted to get back into a meditation routine I had done it years ago, and I found it extremely helpful. I love all the choices that Aura has! ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-06-13, version 3.19.117* Love it! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-08-27, version 3.19.146* Can NOT CANCEL Automatically renewal ### 1/5 — Impossible to renew your subscription *2026-08-27, version 3.19.146* I used to have an account, it has disappeared and now I can’t sign up again. I just want to renew for another year but nope. Can’t do it. Guess I’ll go try Calm or another similar app. ### 1/5 — Be warned *2026-08-09, version 3.19.140* I tried the app and didn’t care for it, I was supposed to get an email from them before the free trial ended reminding me it was ending…. You guessed it, I didn’t and was charged 70.00 but they were kind enough to send the receipt. ### 1/5 — Cannot stop and confuse to be charged *2026-07-22, version 3.19.122* They will not let me cancel and charge a family rate for 1 user ### 1/5 — Chargé de 184$ *2026-07-08, version 3.19.122* J’ai annulé l’abonnement 3 semaines avant l’essai gratuit et j’ai été chargé 184$ alors que mon compte indique que mon abonnement est annulé ### 1/5 — Not a free trial period *2026-07-02, version 3.19.122* I cancelled during the free trial period and they still charged me at the end of it anyway. ### 1/5 — App *2026-06-29, version 3.19.117* The app does not work After paying the annual fee I am not able to access the app ### 1/5 — Not helpful *2026-06-24, version 3.19.117* Cancelled quickly ### 1/5 — Thieves *2026-06-07, version 3.19.117* Try to take money even after cancellation. ### 1/5 — This is ridiculous *2026-06-02, version 3.19.117* Everything is locked unless you subscribe, as if having one more item on my bill will make me happy. Uninstalled. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Aura *2026-08-28, version 3.19.146* Huge content and very reasonably priced, no hidden fees . Lot to choose from ### 5/5 — Magical *2026-08-22, version 3.19.146* I have had PTSD, anxiety and insomnia for over 30 years. I have visited sound baths and felt great relief with them, but they are so expensive. I use this every night for an hour before I turn off the light. The first night I slept great and much longer than I normally do. I will continue to use this app. And I recommend it highly to anyone with similar problems. 💜 ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-08-18, version 3.19.146* Very good app to relieve tension ### 5/5 — Excellent!!! *2026-08-10, version 3.19.140* Excellent App & I use daily!!! ### 5/5 — Just brilliant *2026-08-07, version 3.19.140* This app is amazing, it has so much to offer. Honestly you don’t know where to begin. I have been looking for an app like this for ages. This app is helping me with my spiritual growth so I will continue using it daily. Great app, you won’t be disappointed. ### 5/5 — One of my favorite things *2026-08-01, version 3.19.140* I love this app. I’ve had it for a year. I turn to it more than I thought I would to help with stress and anxiety also to help me sleep and take proper naps. I highly recommend this to anyone in need of guidance on meditation and recovery. ### 5/5 — Belly breath *2026-07-24, version 3.19.122* Excellent relaxation technique ### 5/5 — The best meditation app *2026-07-16, version 3.19.122* I have several apps for meditation. And I never stick with them because I don’t like the choices for guides or the sounds in the background etc. This app hits it just right. It has so much to choose from. And tbh… I’m really kinda broke but I did some the money for a year for this because I enjoyed my trial that much. I wish they had a month to month payment plan but what can I do. It’s still so worth it. And I have just gotten through some traumatic situations and this has helped me to focus on me and my mental health. ### 5/5 — Helpful *2026-07-12, version 3.19.122* Going through a difficult time Aura is helping get through it. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Get the app *2026-07-12, version 3.19.122* The app has no ads on it but it can help you sleep first if you see a done button then at the bottom you click the kind of music you want to listen to --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
