### 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.

### 4/5 — Brilliant App but download issues

*2022-06-25, version 1.12.0*

Unable to download video 5 of chapter 1 in the unwavering focus course(iPad 11th Gen)

### 5/5 — Phenomenal program, expectations surpassed

*2021-10-16*

The organization and thoughtfulness that went into this app is extremely helpful. It is very easy to learn what is being taught as it is very concise and simple but the value is priceless. I have referred to the teachings every single day since I have learned them. I have been on a mission to learn and grow intellectually, buying many books and following other forms of education, but this app feels like the most complete source of education and intellectual growth I’ve ever come across. I’ve never written a review before but I feel as if this app is special and deserving of such, it needs more attention.

### 4/5 — No free trial

*2021-07-06, version 1.9.3*

It would be great to try some of the courses on a free trial before committing to pay

### 5/5 — Excellent Content

*2021-03-04, version 1.9.1*

Randomly I was watching Dandapani video in YouTube, his speech was interesting so downloaded one course.

I would say it’s money well spent! It’s been 7 weeks since I have been doing his course - Life changing experience. As the saying goes in the olden days, when the student is ready teacher appears! 

Excellent content and well organised. Thanks to Dandapani for sharing his learnings to all of us. I have been conditioning myself for past 10 years and his teachings in the courses are helping me to get myself better on a daily basis.

My sincere prayers and wishes to Dandapani to have a far reaching impact on his teachings.

### 2/5 — Meh...

*2020-10-24*

There is no real point to this app other than to listen to a few recordings that offer no substantial information. In all honesty, it is geared toward compelling you to buy his programs. I don’t think he has made a single change or addition since it first went on the App Store. Seriously disappointing.

### 2/5 — Never Works

*2020-09-17, version 1.8.2*

It always says an internet connection can’t be established. It’s useless and more trouble than its worth.

### 5/5 — Unable to purchase the content.

*2020-09-05, version 1.8.2*

Overall this is an excellent app for accessing the contents on the go, but recent the app has started to crash very often. Also I am unable to purchase the Unwavering Focus course through the app. It crashes as soon as I try to 🙁.

### 5/5 — Fantastic app to help with your spiritual journey

*2020-08-17, version 1.8.2*

This is an amazing app to help you focus, gain insight into yourself and learn to practise meditation. Dandapani offers easy to understand instructions and guidance that will be of great benefit to you. I highly recommend using this app.

### 4/5 — Top Quality Content

*2020-08-16, version 1.8.2*

The content is great! 

I only have 1 issue - I’d prefer to watch some of these videos on my laptop and thus would prefer if it were accessible on dandapani.org

### 3/5 — 使用的語言

*2020-08-13, version 1.8.2*

課程內容如果能夠有英文字幕、或是其他語言字幕的選擇，對於學習者來說，能夠更加清楚有幫助。

也能夠讓更多有興趣學習但是英語能力不足的人，有機會學習此課程。

衷心期盼能夠提供這部分的服務

### 5/5 — Great lessons and great app

*2020-07-05, version 1.8.1*

Its amazing how clear are the teachings and reasoning behind is very well explained. I just think, I should have started practicing this way longer time ago, but no one thought me how and I never understood how important it is. I don’t remember how I run into this app, but its definitely a good upgrade in my life. The app is very thought through and I am enjoying to come back to it again and again.

### 5/5 — The teachings are immortal

*2020-07-04*

Have not seen it presented in a better way before and keep sharing your teachings.

### 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.

### 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

### 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.

### 1/5 — Absolutely for over privileged class

*2021-06-26, version 1.9.3*

They are making sheer amount of money with these courses. 35k for 3 courses!? its pure commercialisation. Not worth it. They even release short 2-3 mins videos on youtube to lure audience, what a con! Better go for Isha Sadhguru, all his mystic unlimited wisdom is accessible for free at all platforms. Please don’t fall for this dandapani trap!

### 1/5 — Dissapointment

*2021-05-21, version 1.9.2*

He has turned meditation into a business. 
Apart from getting to see only 1 new quote each day for free. I need to pay 35000₹ to use any of the feature. 
it is sad really sad, how He are selling meditation. 
At one place he says meditation is a meeting with your enegry and on the other side he is charging us to have that meeting in an organised manner. 
It is sad at what point the institution has reached. 
this app is just a twin brother of a situation- where a student has to purchase existing prominent researcher papers just because he wants to do more extensive research of that topic. 
think about it.

### 1/5 — Not satisfied

*2020-11-08, version 1.8.2*

Really it’s very disappointing, Dandapani if you would like to help then you should lower your price. It seems like you’re focusing on getting rich.

### 1/5 — So expensive!

*2020-06-22, version 1.8.0*

It’s so very expensive for a middle class person , no wonder it’s not that popular in India. Lifetime course for 20 k ? It would have been better if you provided for a monthly subscription and yearly options as well. That would have been feasible for a student like me. Highly disappointed with the amount they are charging. Sadhguru’s or brahmakumari’s are way better options then this.

### 1/5 — Great app but there is a bug

*2020-03-26, version 1.6.0*

Hi, yesterday I download the app, it is a great application, love the gratitude journal, but I believe there are some bugs.
First I never received the confirmation email, it seems the app is consuming battery to fast because it was the only new app I installed new and yesterday my iPhone drain the battery to fast

### 1/5 — Crashed

*2020-02-17, version 1.4.2*

Not opening pls help asap
Neither on iPhone or iPad

### 1/5 — No way to contact Customer Service

*2020-01-30, version 1.3.0*

I am a fan of Dandapani, I purchased the lifetime course and have had issues logging in and still can’t. There is absolutely no one to contact, FRUSTRATING!!! Can’t even ask for a refund

### 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

### 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.

### 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. :)

### 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.

### 5/5 — Made a real sustained difference for me.

*2023-01-06*

These courses made a real difference for me.  Watched the Focus one with an 11 and 12 year old last winter and it helped them with mindfulness as well.  Was their first real intro in how to focus.  Both still use the term “energy vampire 🧛‍♂️ “ 😄 occasionally.

### 5/5 — Absolutely Life-Changing!

*2022-08-16*

I have gone through this course several times now from beginning to end and I continue to learn something new each time.

### 5/5 — I love Dandapani and the app!

*2022-08-13*

His teachings are so practical and relevant for the 21st-century. The app is beautiful and uncluttered, reflecting an uncluttered mind and helping to nurture the same. So well done!

### 5/5 — Great ap, profound teachings

*2022-01-06, version 1.11.0*

This is a great ap, well laid out and with easy to follow course content. Dandapani’s teachings and so simple on the surface yet so deeply profound.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2021-10-25, version 1.10.0*

I love dandapani. So glad I discovered him
