### 1/5 — Bait & Switch

*2026-01-17*

Received a Lifetime subscription through AppAdvice. Downloaded, onboarded, and claimed. Today, when I opened the app, I’m told I need to fork over $249.00 to claim the Lifetime subscription. 😂😂😡 SO not gonna happen!

### 5/5 — Well done! Extremely helpful for me.

*2025-10-14*

App is full of content to attain mindfulness in life.

### 1/5 — Not happy

*2025-10-13*

I am tired of apps that are pushed onto AppAdvice that are being offered for a free lifetime subscription and when I lock it in, I instantly get charged by them. Stay away. Instant charge of $17.65 soon as it went through.

**Developer response:** Hi Melthebell,
We’re really sorry to hear about your experience, that’s definitely not the impression we want to leave. Our app occasionally runs special promotions through partners like AppAdvice, and you should never be charged if you’ve claimed a free offer.

Please reach out to our support team at support@beginmindfulness.com, and we’ll be happy to verify your purchase and make sure you receive what was promised.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, we’ll make it right for you.

Warm regards,
The Begin Team

### 3/5 — Bogus Lifetime Deal

*2025-10-13*

“This product is not available for purchase” when clicking on lifetime offer the day that it is allegedly free.

### 1/5 — Deception

*2025-05-30*

The app is good, but I found its practices to be misleading. I was given a lifetime subscription that they are now unwilling to honor. Instead, they are asking me to pay the annual fee, which I find unacceptable. I am uninstalling the app because they did not fulfill their promise of a lifetime subscription.

**Developer response:** Hi Swimmer-Bear, we're truly sorry to hear about your experience. This is definitely not the kind of frustration we want any of our users to go through.

We’d love the opportunity to look into this further and make things right. Please reach out to us directly at support@beginmindfulness.com so our team can investigate your case and help resolve the issue as quickly as possible.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

### 1/5 — trash

Let us know if we can help you with something else.
