Bring it back, please.
I am enjoying the app and everything about it, the navigation, the design, and cost of the yearly subscription. But, I was so disappointed to discover that after the latest update the timer function was removed. I really liked this feature because I could mediate without any guidance or limit. I hope enough users can convince the developers to change their decision.

Thank you for your feedback, and for the kind words about the app. The good news is that the timer was not removed, but it was moved. You will find it under the Explore tab, in Timer Soundscapes. We have passed your comments on to our development team for review. Your feedback is greatly appreciated.
It works
Experienced some crazy stuff with this app genuinely does work and would recommend

Thank you, and welcome to the journey. We are so glad Expand is resonating for you, and here is to many more explorations ahead. 🙏
Timer
Came here because the MUSE soundscapes were so good, so to me the timer with signals+background is easily the best feature of the app.
It would be nice to be able to use this feature offline. I don’t really see why we shouldn’t be able to.
Also, it took me weeks to discover this feature, as the tab sometimes takes you to the notifications page erroneously.

Hi, thank you so much for your feedback. Your point about it being hard to discover was a fair one, and the timer now sits under the Explore tab in Timer Soundscapes. We have passed on your request to use it offline, along with the tab occasionally taking you to the notifications page, to our development team for review. Thank you for taking the time to write this up.
Gratitude
The sound wave technology has been a great way to view that which is actually there,and its ability to help expand contemplation, while also helping understand what can be achieved.
Tracks have skipping
Idk what happened- an update or whatever but the timed tracks now have skip/repeat pauses. Please fix it! It’s very distracting.
Feature request
I use this app regularly, & I love it! I would love to see more unguided meditations. I would also like to request integration into smartwatch Health apps! I’d like to be able to include my meditations with this app in my meditation tracker & also have capability with the Welltory app. Unfortunately, they can’t use the Expand app as a source because the Expand app does not have Health app capabilities.

The most powerful meditation tool I’ve ever experienced!!!

Money maker
There are some good meditation here, no gateway project tapes $20 a month for guided meditations that you can get for free elsewhere. They got greedy!
Great but automatic pausing issue
I love the app and the meditations. Unfortunately, the app keeps pausing after 17-18 minutes. It forces you to get out of your meditation to hit the play button. Not funny. I have not found a way to fix this via iPhone settings. I don't have this issue with similar apps. Could you please fix it or share a fix ? Thanks.

How do you get a premium subscription?
There seems to be no way in the iOS app to locate or pay for premium content.
Love it
Great app
Cuts off sometimes?
I like the app and use it daily. I am trying to figure out why lately some of the longer tracks cut off early. For example, a 50 minute track might stop a few minutes in. If it’s related to device notifications it seems like it should ignore those without just ending the playback.
Unrelated- it would be great if you would make some of the shorter tracks like Aria available in a longer form!

Lovely and Helpful
I’m a life-long meditator and this app is a total joy. Pick your experience, pop on the headphones, and let the wonderful guides take you on one magic carpet ride after another. Also, post menopause, the restorative sleep has been exceptional
Where’s the guidance?
I was only looking for the gateway tapes. Their options showed hemisync but there’s nothing but some dull static and no guidance. I was making progress when they were freely available and now I can’t find them anywhere. These don’t even balance from ear to ear. Joke!!
Perfect for Beginners 🌿✨
I’m brand new to meditation and wasn’t sure where to start, but this app made the journey so easy and enjoyable. The guidance is simple, calming, and never overwhelming—it feels like it was made for someone just starting out. The sessions help me quiet my mind, reduce stress, and even sleep better. Each time I use it, I feel more grounded and refreshed. Highly recommend for anyone looking to begin (or deepen) their meditation practice.

So much gratitude.
Thank you so much for this app. My little monkey mind is loving the endless enrichment it has provided me.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
If you are a Gateway fan and unsure whether you will enjoy this app, go for it. The subscription is worth it, that is when its true value was unlocked for me.

Annoyed
I want to use this apps paid portion. I have subscribed to it but it won’t let me use any of the paid portion of it.
Login screen of the app doesn’t work
Unfortunately, the first screen of the app doesn’t work so I can’t even give a review of the app itself because the first screen is too glitchy. I made an account with a password and now it’s telling me that password is incorrect andwhen I go to reset the password. It doesn’t send me an email to do so.

Great way to practice!
I love the multi-day meditations. I have enjoyed everything I’ve come across so far both guided and unguided. I’m not sure if it’s because I really connect with these meditations or I’m ready to explore my inner world. But these meditations more than anything I have encountered has helped me to go very deep. I highly recommend.

Great app but constantly crashes
Often crashes midway through a session which is incredibly annoying when you are mid-meditation. Also often shows as offline when you open it and have to keep reopening it. Tempted to stop subscribing and just use binaural on YouTube. Not acceptable when it’s so expensive.
Response from developer
Sorry to hear that you're experiencing these crashes. Please contact us at expand@monroeinstitute.org and we'll see if we can get to the bottom of what's causing this for you. It could be something specific to your device settings.
