Streaming Issues
I first tried this during the pandemic and got a lot of benefit from it. I learned a lot about meditation and used it pretty regularly. I never liked the scorekeeping that it did, reporting on how frequently I meditated, as it is supposed to be relaxing, not a competition. Over the years, I experienced more and more streaming issues. When I contacted the app developer one time, I was told that it was a problem with Apple, not the app. I felt that they dismissed me, as no other app that I had experienced similar issues. A couple of the hosts I thought were genuinely terrific, especially Oren Jay Sofer. A different host was so irritating that I looked for ways to ensure that I would not have to listen to that person. In 2026, my company gave us the competing app Calm as a job benefit. I have not really used that for meditation as much as I have to listen to the soundscapes, and found that I prefer that to the Happier app.

Mindful minute challenge
I really need to meditate now that the app won’t load as part of my work challenge. 85k participants and the app has crashed. Not happy Jan!
Used to be great
This app no longer works. It's updated my phone is updated and nothing matters. It will not open. it gets stuck "finishing up". It opened one time and then it failed record the history of my meditation. The search function does not work. Nothing happens when you enter something
Update Aug 2026
Looks bad
Recent update ruins offline experience
Have used this for 2 years. Sleep meditations every night, after phone on airplane mode. Since the recent version, I have found my nightly meditations are not being counted in my history, which has meant I am back to day one after a 200 day streak. Additionally, I am no longer able to look at recent meditations to reselect them. This only shows when the phone is on. Finally, they have re-ordered all of the downloaded meditations alphabetically so I am no longer able to go to the top or bottom of the sleep list and select a specific meditation based on where I remember it being in the list. This may seem minor but if you are in the dark with no glasses on trying to get to sleep the last thing you want to be is frustrated through being unable to find the meditation you want, and have selected routinely for months. The changes are significant to the way I use it so I will not be renewing my subscription in December.
