The issue I have run into is that while it can write step data to the Health app, it does not automatically add mindful minutes in. Now, I can do this manually but would love this to become automatic. This app has helped me feel more centered during my first couple weeks of use. Give it a try and you'll be able to tell for yourself! ### 5/5 — Absolutely love it! *2016-10-18, version 2.1* I wish there were more meditations, but I really do love this app❤️ ### 5/5 — Great product so far! *2016-10-04, version 2.1* I enjoy the mood and mindfulness reminders. ### 5/5 — Nice app, but who meditates anymore?? *2016-10-04, version 2.1* The step count is off cause I don't carry my phone everywhere and no one meditates anymore!!!! Hummus ### 5/5 — Keeps me on track *2016-09-26, version 2.1* I love this app!! I'm bipolar and suffer from ptsd so my life gets very stressful and this has helped me calm down and deal with so many issues happening in my life. Meditating gives me the clarity to think rationally/logically about things and this app helps me remember to slow down and do that. It helps me stay centered. It keeps me on track. I'm so happy I found this app. :D ### 5/5 — Fantastic app *2016-09-21, version 2.1* Really useful and easy to use. Helps me track meditating and exercising to keep balanced. ### 5/5 — Very simplistic and useful *2016-07-21, version 2.1* I like how the app has a specific purpose, and it serves it well. The interface is so simple, the alerts are unobtrusive, and I really enjoy the mindfulness exercises. Definitely worth downloading. ### 5/5 — I love this app *2016-06-25, version 2.1* This is the best app that I have found and it works great with my I watch. The best part for is it keeps track of my steps and I've been paying more attention to my mood and found I am basically in a good lately. ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2016-06-14, version 2.1* Good tool, easy to use. ### 5/5 — Five stars *2016-06-04, version 2.1* Why do they ask for five stars I mean it's not the greatest app ever invented. it's a great app for tracking your stress and managing it with meditation. The main problem would be that it looks like a misaligned aspect ratio when viewing on a 6+ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — This app by the Insurance industry *2018-07-06, version 2.1* I can’t use this without creating an account. Privacy and terms web page doesn’t open Do you really want to give your heart trends to Blue Cross Blue Shield? ### 1/5 — Not compatible with iPad ☹️ *2018-01-12, version 2.1* Not everyone has an iPhone... ### 1/5 — Substandard Data Read/Write Functionality *2016-12-16, version 2.1* Apple Watch2 version of Centered app never shows accurate step data. My read/write privileges/ settings appear correct. Data just doesn't correctly sync across devices. Example: iPhone Health app will show 7000 steps. iPhone version of Centered will show 6200 steps Apple watch2 version of the Centered app will show 865 steps. ### 1/5 — No optimized resolution for iPhone 6?? Are you kidding me?! *2016-09-29, version 2.1* It is late 2016. Make your app like an app that belongs in 2016. You are a joke. Deleting this app immediately, I will not have an app on my phone that has the blown up text on it. Be better at your job. ### 3/5 — Not working *2018-08-30, version 2.1* I love using this app! But yesterday and today the app won’t open completely on my watch. When I open it, it shows its loading but won’t do anything else..? Please help! ### 3/5 — Awesome. *2016-12-17, version 2.1* Does what it's supposed to. ### 3/5 — Still like it but... *2016-09-29, version 2.1* ...why no reminders for meditation/mindfulness? ### 3/5 — Don't Trust Who Made It *2015-04-29, version 2.0.1* This is decent on the Apple Watch - a nice meditation timer and a slightly annoying mood tracker (it was very needy, constantly asking about my mood). BUT I decided to delete it because it was created by a Blue Cross subsidiary, and I don't want my personal / private mood and mindfulness information in the hands of a healthcare company. I might have my tinfoil hat on too tight, but I can imagine my health insurance costs going up because my mood records indicate I'm stressed out and therefore a greater risk for heart attack or stroke. Such a thing is not far off in this age of wearable health monitors. I'd rather use an app that's created by a tech company, who then will secretly sell my data to a healthcare company. At least then I can feel betrayed and not foolish. ### 3/5 — I like it, but I want to love it. *2015-02-07, version 1.1.1* I enjoy the mini meditations in this app. Usually the longer ones are simply too long and I don't want to dedicate that amount of time. A greater variety of mini meditations (or perhaps medium length ones) would be a lot better for keeping the user's interest by allowing them to benefit from the app every day. Personally I think the step counter is worthless since Apple has a built-in health app that is a lot better, but that's just me. In my opinion, the need or desire for a person to meditate doesn't really overlap much with the need to monitor one's health or activity so combining the two seems kind of trivial. ### 4/5 — Love the app *2020-04-23, version 2.1* I love the app but I can't access it on my Apple watch. Any suggestions? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Beneficial... esp. now *2020-04-27, version 2.1* Some days coping with the covid-19 virus is harder than others. This is definitely a help. ### 5/5 — I’ve had this app for years and I still love it *2019-07-23, version 2.1* I downloaded Centered in mid 2016, and I’ve been using it semi-regularly for years. The guided meditations vary in length and in subject so there are quick ways to break up your day with mindfulness minutes, or longer ways to reflect on how you feel, and what your body is experiencing. I know this all sounds hippy-dippy but it’s honestly such a refreshing break from my daily stresses, and I always finish feeling refreshed. It’s a free app which is incredible considering similar mindfulness apps are so often subscription based and pricey (especially if you’re not really using them). I hope this app exists forever, and I recommend it often. (Ps, sometimes if I’m having a hard time falling asleep I’ll play the body awareness meditation in full, and somewhere towards the middle I fall asleep. Works like a charm.) ### 5/5 — Great *2018-05-31, version 2.1* This is a very useful app. Apple says it needs to be updated. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2018-03-14, version 2.1* Great app! ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2017-08-19, version 2.1* I really love the he speakers voice. I find it very soothing. ### 5/5 — Get on the right track *2017-05-02, version 2.1* Good app to get and keep you on the right track. Easy to use. ### 5/5 — Nice & easy *2017-02-25, version 2.1* This is an easy way to calm you down when daily life is happening. ### 5/5 — Great App *2017-01-04, version 2.1* This a really Amazing App & it's like it can sense my mood changes or when I need to meditate... wonderful job with this app 💯👍🏽👍🏽 ### 5/5 — All That's Missing Is Mindful Minutes in Health *2016-12-22, version 2.1* I've tried plenty of similar apps but this one is not only the most functional but the visuals add a different level of understanding. 👌🏾 ### 5/5 — Review. *2016-12-20, version 2.1* I am so happy to have this app with me. I am thankful to all team of this app. Thank you verymuch to provide me this app. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
