### 1/5 — App stopped working, no support

*2026-08-25, version 17.02*

Initially I really loved this app! Great prompts and high quality content. However after a few weeks I am not able to access videos, and have reached out several times to support for help without any responses. Loved it when it was working but disappointed to spend money on something that stopped working.

### 3/5 — C’mon, small changes would make it so much better

*2026-08-24, version 17.02*

So, having an app that offers daily repeatable meditations but does not offer favourites. An app that offer day 1-2-3 courses but does not have history of done meditations.
On the positive, great breath-works, you can adjust on meditations if you want the guide or the music louder.
Please fix favourites and history so the app justifies the subscription…

### 1/5 — Bait and switch

*2026-08-22, version 17.02*

It's not a free app, there is no free option.

### 4/5 — Where is Sam Yo ?!?

*2026-08-22, version 17.02*

Maybe I’m missing something but I can’t find any of his meditations on the app.

I was really hoping, given his expertise, he would be added to the meditation team.

Otherwise, great platform. 

The meditations are the same ones you would find in the meditation app, but it’s nice to separate the tracking and goals.

The breath work feature is nice too. Would he great to connect this to HRV on apple watch and see how metrics improve over time.

Excited to see where this can go.

I started adding in meditation to bring my cortisol back down after hard workouts, as that’s an issue for me and hinders weight loss. I’m so amped up after words 🤣

Would also be nice if instructors reminded us to include this in our routines, much like stretching as well.

### 1/5 — Inoperable

*2026-08-22, version 17.02*

The play arrow does not work. None of the exercises play.

### 2/5 — App is too glitchy

*2026-08-11, version 17.02*

I used to really enjoy this app. All I want is a few things. 1: keep me logged in, like it used to. 2: let me actually adjust the length of the exercises, like it used to. 3: keep my sound settings the same on my breathing exercises between days. Fix the errors, and I’ll go back and add stars. It was a good app before!

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2026-08-10, version 17.02*

I love the app but it’s been so buggy the last few months. Everytime I select the dailies the play button doesn’t work. This is my favorite feature and I can’t even use it. Did not get fixed with the recent update.

### 1/5 — It’s not free

*2026-08-09, version 17.02*

You download and then you get through a test and it mandates that you have to sign up for a trial of their Pro package. Don’t bother downloading

### 3/5 — Disappointing user interface

*2026-08-08, version 17.02*

The actual classes are great, but you can’t save favourites, it’s impossible to find previous classes you’ve taken. You can’t search by instructor either. Terrible interface, but brilliant classes. Hopefully improvements are imminent.

### 1/5 — Used to be a favourite app

*2026-08-07, version 17.02*

Now there’s a paywall and can’t access any of the exercises. Such a shame.
