### 3/5 — Need subtitles..

*2026-07-01, version 2.2.6*

The course itself is great, but as a non-native English speaker, it is very difficult and frustrating to follow without subtitles. Subtitles would make the course much more accessible and helpful for learners like me.

### 4/5 — Feedback on App Functionality Post-Upgrade - App Functionality and Support Response

*2025-04-26, version 2.1.5*

I would like to say that the content within the app remains deeply insightful and continues to offer tremendous value. However, I would like to provide some feedback regarding a few technical and service-related issues I have encountered since the recent ‘upgrade’.

1. Lesson Transition Timing
Across the app, the final screens of most lesson overviews transition far too quickly. There is no option to pace the transition yourself, which does not allow sufficient time to read and absorb the information presented. This gives the impression of being rushed, which seems at odds with the otherwise reflective nature of the teachings.

In particular:
•In Magic of the Mind, during the final conclusion of the chapter, Dandapani’s audio is cut off abruptly mid-sentence.
•In Lesson 4, Chapter 1 – Overview, the screen transitions before the full text can be read. Although the clip duration is listed as 54 seconds, the transition occurs earlier than this.

Should it assist your team, I am happy to record the issue from another device.

2. Magic of the Mind – Chapter 4 Playback Issue
In Chapter 4 – Building a Happier Mind, the clip should run until 1:08 but instead stops at 0:57, cutting Dandapani off mid-sentence (“you are work  in progress…”).

Subsequently:
•The app prompts continuation to Chapter 5, but clicking this simply redirects back to Chapter 1.
•It is unclear whether a Chapter 5 is intended for this programme.

This behaviour is quite confusing from a user perspective.

3. Course Progress – Unwavering Focus
I completed Unwavering Focus several years ago and received my certificate. However, since the migration to the new platform, it now appears as “Not Started”.
Whilst not critical (I am revisiting the course, as Dandapani recommends regular review), I felt it worth highlighting as a potential migration or account-tracking issue.

4. Support Response
I have written to Support previously about these concerns but have yet to receive a reply. I would appreciate it if this feedback could be directed to the appropriate team for attention.

5. Duplicate Emails
Following the recent platform changes, I have also begun receiving duplicate emails for chapters I have completed from your mailing list, which I imagine may be a system error.

Summary: 
The teachings remain of the highest calibre, but the technical issues (lesson timing, abrupt audio and overview of lessons cuts, course navigation anomalies, Support non-responsiveness, and duplicate emails) are having a noticeable impact on the overall user experience.

Thank you for taking the time to consider this feedback. I look forward to seeing the app continue to evolve and improve.

### 5/5 — Life changing

*2024-05-27, version 1.17.1*

I downloaded the app in Summer 2021 and have since completed the first course (Focus) twice. It has massively reduced my fears and anxieties and I am able to achieve more than I could have before doing the courses. 

Each course is $100 but it is well worth the investment. 

I have already purchased the second course (Energy) and will eventually purchase and do the third (meditation). 

Strongly strongly strongly recommend.

### 5/5 — Worth it.

*2024-03-25*

His teaching are easy to follow. He doesn’t let you rush. If you take your time and follow the course as he intends it is so worth it. So many jewels of wisdom. *Ive only completely the unwavering focus*

**Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so glad you’re finding value in Unwavering Focus and appreciating the pace and clarity of the teachings. There’s much more to explore, and we hope you continue to uncover even more jewels of wisdom in the journey ahead.

– Team Dandapani

### 1/5 — Very poor customer service

*2024-03-21, version 1.17.1*

I bought the lifetime access of Focus course. Now my access is withdrawn- don’t know why. I have written multiple mails and trued reaching out through website but no response.

This is pathetic. Such expensive course and no support.

### 5/5 — Mastery over mind

*2024-01-02, version 1.17.1*

People just talk about concentration, Dandapani guru teaches here how to concentrate and also taught about mind in a granular way.

Also first time i understood the difference between yoga and meditation.

### 1/5 — I tried logging in, but it didn’t let me. The email for retrieving password does not work

*2023-07-28, version 1.17.1*

I tried logging in, but it didn’t let me. The email for retrieving password does not work

### 5/5 — I was looking for exactly this

*2023-04-15, version 1.16.1*

Just love all the work Dandpani has done and the way he has explained everything. It all makes sense. All the courses are exactly what one would need in life to be a better version of themselves. You don’t need anything else if you can just master this one course. Not a single bit of time is wasted and all of the words uttered by him are words of wisdom and power. I feel really blessed and lucky to have stumbled upon his book which led me to this course. Thank You from the deepest depths of my heart Dandpani for creating this course. :)

### 1/5 — No.

*2023-02-02, version 1.16.1*

Requires you to give up personal information just to access the app.  The gushing 5-star reviews seem to be more about the personality than the app.

### 5/5 — Not Responding to Cancellation Request

*2023-01-09, version 1.16.1*

I have by mistake ordered "Energy Alchemy" instead of "Meditation" course. I have already taken up Unwavering Focus and I found it useful.
And have requested you to change "Energy Alchemy" course to "Meditation" in my access list! And also requested that if it is not possible to switch the course then please cancel my Energy Alchemy course and give complete refund.

I have ordered the course on 7th Jan 2023 and also raised the request for switching/cancellation on that same date within minutes after ordering. 

But have not heard back from you after that. It is over 48 hours and still no response. 

It is highly disappointing that I have to wait with no update/response, am not even sure if 3 of my emails with same request are even read or not. Have also tried using contact form in Dandapani website.
