### 3/5 — Needs some glitches to be fixed

*2026-07-13, version 4.2.14*

I have used this app off and on since 2017. There are some really helpful little guided meditations within it. 
Unfortunately it glitches continuously now and I have to restart my phone to resolve it. 
Given its at a 3-4 star rating in terms of content it’s now becoming too much hassle to justify using it. 
If the developers are able to rectify this I may return to it.

### 4/5 — Going to Sleep 2 Not Working

*2026-05-05, version 4.2.14*

Love this app; however, none of the meditations in the “Going to Sleep 2” section are working. Hopefully a fix soon!

### 2/5 — Fix the bugs

*2025-12-18, version 4.2.14*

This is still a great app in terms of the content. Relevant and helpful meditation content. But the app is buggy and glitchy and extremely dated. I wish the developers would simply fix the bugs so the app would be pleasant to use.

### 2/5 — What happened?

*2025-10-28, version 4.2.14*

This app was recommended to me years ago by my doctor for my anxiety. I used it to fall asleep every night, then I tried headspace and  came back to this app. But now 90% of the meditations are glitching and the length of the audio says 0:00. I am so crushed. Is this a bug? I’ve been waiting over a year for a fix. </3

### 4/5 — Just one issue

*2025-07-25, version 4.2.14*

I would be leaving a 5 Star review if I could get my membership issue resolved.  I have been trying to become a paid member but the in app process does not work and I have been trying to get it resolved for almost a week.

### 5/5 — My favorite Mindfulness App

*2025-07-18, version 4.2.14*

It’s simply a joy to use. Not distracting and complex and frustrating like so many of the other apps. Just hey come choose a cool section and pick one from there. Thanks for making it such an amazing experience! Now for my request… can you please make an android app? I mostly meditate from android these days… and I’m frustrated by the other apps I’ve tried and miss Buddhify! Thanks!!! 🤗

### 4/5 — Wonderful meditation tracks - underwhelming app performance

*2025-07-07, version 4.2.14*

I used to use Headspace until I heard a podcast featuring Rohan. I switched and have really enjoyed Buddify’s meditation tracks and the skills it seeks to teach it users. However, the app has been glitchy for me in the past. So much so, that there was a time I had to stop using it. Additionally, I have tried to become a supporting member through the app, but that function seems to not be working. Strange that a company wouldn’t want my money. Hope that changes over time. Lastly, the only notable difference between a login experience and one without is the “favorite option.” This app does not count your minutes meditating nor how many sessions you have completed.

### 2/5 — Not user friendly

*2025-06-27, version 4.2.14*

As a senior using this app it is hard to use; I have lost interest because it never loads up; my iPhone is new, this app seems more ancient than me!

### 4/5 — Love it but needs fixes

*2025-05-30, version 4.2.14*

Love the app and meditations, but sometimes bugs out and certain tracks won’t play

### 2/5 — Disappointing

*2025-05-19, version 4.2.14*

I invested the £4.99 to download this app because it’s made by Brits and I want an app that does meditation with British voices because I feel most comfortable and relaxed with those accents. Unfortunately a lot of the things I can check without membership are with a North American accent, which I mostly don’t find relaxing. (Plus the market is flooded with North American accents - so why get this when it’s more of the same?)

The second issue is that I can’t seem to get videos to play in the app, (or on the website) I have no issues with other videos online, so I assume there’s a problem with Buddhify. 

I feel cheated out of the £4.99, because I won’t use the app - a day/week free test would have been helpful and I would have walked away without issue. I’m definitely not going to pay more money to find the rest of the content is as flawed.

### 5/5 — Later

*2025-05-04, version 4.2.14*

I’m too distracted now

### 5/5 — Simple

*2025-05-03, version 4.2.14*

I so appreciate Buddhify staying simple and accessible after all these years. I wish Headspace had done the same.

### 2/5 — Most meditations aren’t available

*2025-04-01, version 4.2.14*

The meditations show up on my wheel as available but they are empty and don’t play. Annoying. 
The few that work are fine.

### 3/5 — Not a lot happening…

*2025-03-02, version 4.2.14*

Many of the meditation sessions are not playing, and there is no indication as to why

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — No longer working

*2026-02-11, version 4.2.14*

None of the meditation now play. It’s like they’ve just pulled the plug. No email response either.

### 1/5 — Many meditations won’t play anymore

*2026-02-10, version 4.2.14*

I’ve been using this app for years and really like it, however many of the tracks won’t play anymore. I can’t find anywhere to get support on this unfortunately.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2025-08-05, version 4.2.14*

My fav app for years so I bought a membership last year and renewed it about a month ago and it did not work. I installed anew, logged in m, logged out and mailed for support. Sent another mail as the answers didn’t help, sent that I have paid, that I have a membership and never got an answer again. Here in the app store it says my membership will be renewed next year again. 😞 I would like to use now without paying a second time. Please help!

### 1/5 — What’s changed?

*2025-06-04, version 4.2.14*

Downloaded this app in 2022/3 and it was brilliant but in the past year it’s terrible. Won’t play any mediations just says time left 00. Have emailed support multiple times and no response.

### 1/5 — Sent 3 emails to support

*2025-04-10, version 4.2.14*

App seemed ok to start. After trying to use for sleep I found 13 minutes was not long enough to sustain a sound sleep.  I sent several emails asking about extending time or updates.  Never hear back after 3 weeks.

### 1/5 — Deeply disappointed after all these years

*2025-04-06, version 4.2.14*

I had a paid Buddhify membership for years, and I loved it for myself and my work with clients. Last October the paid features stopped working when I renewed. It took 3 months for someone to respond to my emails. And 6 months later- it still isn’t working. No follow up, no offer to refund or compensate.

### 1/5 — Historically Great; Stopped Working

*2025-01-08, version 4.2.14*

I have been using the app for years, and it was excellent. Couldn’t have recommended it more highly. Unfortunately the last two updates have rendered the app completely useless. It now no longer works. This last update is 6 months old, though I just installed it, now the entire app will not play any of the audio tracks.

### 1/5 — Many meditations no longer loading

*2024-10-08, version 4.2.14*

Long time user - it’s been a great app and a go-to in my toolbox in difficult times - however at some point in 2024 some of the meditations now do not load and cannot be listened to, which makes panic and difficult moments hard to go through! Needs fix urgently.

### 1/5 — No support app won’t fully work

*2024-10-02, version 4.2.14*

The app won’t work. I go to the meditations and it shows zero minutes and won’t play. No support response for over 6 months over and over have emailed. Nothing no response.

### 1/5 — Very serious membership problems

*2024-09-11, version 4.2.14*

I love the app and its approach. I’ve subscribed to it for many years. However, there is a VERY serious problem with the technical side of it. I’ve lost membership benefits quite a few times, and for quite a few months now. Support is a joke. You first get a quote of your complaint, then a generic “try this” E-Mail, then another generic “engineers are working on it” message, with absolutely no results. Register, but by no means become a member. You’ll be throwing your money away.

### 5/5 — Beautiful Meditations

*2026-07-30, version 4.2.14*

I am so grateful for the variety of meditations in defferent calm voices. When I struggle with overwhelming emotions I find myself reaching for Buddhify’s Stress and Difficult Emotions category.

### 5/5 — I cannot recommend this app enough

*2026-05-16, version 4.2.14*

This app has got me through some really difficult moments over the years I’ve been using it, I always find myself coming back to it when I’m feeling overwhelmed and stressed. It’s even helped my sons when they have had periods of anxiety. Well done team Buddify, you have made meditation accessible and easy xx

### 5/5 — Helps stay sane

*2026-05-11, version 4.2.14*

Whenever I feel overwhelmed and help to recenter myself, I come to Buddhify❣️

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-05-08, version 4.2.14*

I love the fact this app has different meditation depending on needs or current situation I.e walking, eating, cooking etc. It’s brilliant. Thank you creating such an amazing, life changing app!

### 5/5 — Fabulous App

*2026-03-31, version 4.2.14*

This is my favourite meditation app by far. The wheel is super simple to use and configure and I love the specific sections. They make it incredibly easy to find a suitable meditation in the moment. I really like that there are plenty of meditations to choose from but not so many that it becomes overwhelming. The app has made a really big difference to my life and made it easy to commit to regular practise.

### 5/5 — Great app, can be flaky

*2026-02-22, version 4.2.14*

This app is my go-to for meditation, especially for very specific things. It’s intuitive, easy to use, and there’s a lot of variety. I referred so many people to it! I was having issues with the app working but reinstalled and now no issues. With an account all my faves reloaded as well

### 5/5 — Best, beautiful and calming meditation app I’ve ever found.

*2025-08-15, version 4.2.14*

My busy life means that instead of regular use of this app, I tend to dip in and out. No matter, life’s not perfect, neither am I. But I gotta say, after using it as I have through a very stressful 18 months of significant life changes - it’s a perfect companion. Beautiful, thought-out, and simple to use meditations have clearly been put together by very thoughtful people.

The mediations are also calmly-voiced, and there’s a wide range to fit into whatever time you have available (so ideal for me!). The ‘subjects’ are cleverly geared towards your mental state and are named accordingly.

Do consider buying this app - great value for the money - and obviously made with love and compassion at the core. :)

### 5/5 — Best meditation app on the market.

*2025-07-30, version 4.2.14*

Grateful for finding peace within yourself. Highly recommended.

### 5/5 — Very Useful and Informative

*2025-07-23, version 4.2.14*

I recommend this for team building if you’re working with a group of open minded coworkers to up the morale at the job.

### 5/5 — My favorite

*2025-07-19, version 4.2.14*

So happy to be back with my old favorite and to find it hasn't changed. Some apps (starts with H) have become completely unusable with too much content. Love everything about Buddhify!
