Frustrating
I have been paying for this app for many years and the content has been invaluable. Over the past year, the updates have been nonsensical. When I click on a teacher and browse various options then hit the X to go back to browsing, I’m led to the home screen rather than back the teacher’s page. When on a teacher’s page and click favorites, ALL of my favorites come up, not just that teacher. On the horizontal list of teachers, there are many new teachers; but click on the photo and you realize it’s a link to the teacher talks rather than a practice. Why can’t there be a “compartment” with each teacher’s content so that you can see what’s available, hit a back button and toggle through that teacher’s content? And a separate list of teachers with only have talks? It’s all very disorganized and random.

I’m more at peace
Thank you so much for creating a wonderful space and app that truly caters to mental wellbeing.
Can be buggy
I have been using this since inception. Recently, my meditation sessions have occasionally not been recorded and my count has been zeroed out. It’s disconcerting after 150+ consecutive days. The support has been unresponsive.
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.

Look of the app is worse.
The latest update makes the text smaller and reduces the visual contrast between text and background. It’s harder for me to see and makes it seem like the app is targeting to a younger audience.
Another downgrade mislabeled upgrade
Just “upgraded” to lose favorites again with the new edition. Why does Happier cut material I’ve come to rely on every supposed upgrade? Not Happier about that.
Have turned to this meditation app to keep myself centered and balance my thoughts so l can think
Have not been reacting to negative comments the way I used to. This is also a very helpful resource when overwhelmed and the wisdom imparted helps me not to overthink things as l had in the past.
10% better
I’ve been using Happier mostly daily for several years. It helps with my practice and should help anyone with theirs.
Practical, super helpful, and enjoyable!
When I first started to explore mindfulness and meditation, I tried out a variety of apps that all had great reviews. This is the one that really works for me. Well worth the subscription price. There is so much content in a variety of formats, guided meditations, multi session courses, interviews, podcasts, with a number of teachers who each have a distinct approach and voice. Dan and the whole Happier team don’t get all mystical but stay grounded in everyday life and aren’t shy about bringing in some fun and humour from time to time. Way more than just an app! Happier is a great way to stay balanced, not only to help get you through the difficult turbulent times that may come but also to learn to stay in the present moment and appreciate all the good things in life!

Worth every cent
I have had this app on my phone for years, and I use it nearly every day. The wisdom of these teachers has helped me get through the toughest times of my life, and has helped me to live more joyfully.
Much Needed
Great way to start the day

Just getting started so it’s hard to give a good review. I have a positive feeling about this and I will do it regularly.

Good variety of teachers and easy to use app features
Wonderful app but lacking content updates
I really appreciate the happier mediation app. The content is high quality and very well organized and currated. However, over the last year or so it seems that there has been less and less new content added.
