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.

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.

Great App! Helps cultivate an Ai ready mindset

This application, has help me find the informational flows needed to help me cultive a mindset of open awareness, meta cognition, and loving kindness towards myself and all that I do.

In 2024 I wrote this: This application has helped me cultivate AI ready mindset or I’m able to utilize it education on cultivating concentration, focus and attention to rapidly be able to upscale myself to be able to utilize AI systems the best possible way without the minimal cost or rather with the minimal cost of the environment by focusing on assuring that my thinking logic can be communicated effectively and efficiently, and where information may be lacking or missing utilizing information wrangling to gather that information and then process it and interpret what the help of AI systems to assure that I am probably interpreting or rather interpreting it at a specific level usually for your college student level thank you.”

And in 2026: I Write this - find your breath, find your peace, find the way to live a life one can say was well lived in any moments. The grief session have helped me and I hope they help many others.

Highly recommend this application for anyone who is willing and takes the next step to an exploring your thoughts and cultivating a mind of excitement.

Grateful user

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.

Has helped me in my practice

I love this app/program. There is so much content and ways to help you heal your inner self and handle your outward circumstances! It makes it very easy to meditate and learn each morning at the start of my day. I tell everyone about it.

Happier has
been a great help to my mental health. Do not become frustrated just kept at it. Sometimes I have a hard time concentrating important to keep going. It’s worth it.

Sadness and fear

Lost my wife almost 8 years ago. Still feel the sadness. We had such plans of enjoying are retirement. Traveling throughout the world. Watching our grandkids grow and visiting them. Now it’s just me, and my depression try’s to pull me back. Now I fear I’ve lost those years and am getting older. The meditations have taught me to take life a day at a time. Enjoying the beauty around me. I’m still very healthy, financially ok and, I really have nothing to worry about except what my head produces. The talks and meditation ground me, keep me in the present. Look at life from a more spiritual angle. I have a beautiful family, lots of kids and grandkids. Sometimes I say to myself “WHAT’S THE MATTER WITH ME. Thanks for telling me, I’m not alone and keeping me present.
*************************
Today is 10 years later, I’ve been doing this for quite awhile. Some days are better than others with feelings of depression when I first wake up. I do my meditation and prayer. Send out messages to friends and they send me back some. I’ve been in AA for the whole time. Not had a drink since 3/15/16. I try to meditate every morning, it helps.

Awesome app!

This is a wonderful tool! I love the courses the most. The only thing I wish is that there was some calming background music, that they had some “spiritually/soulfully inclined” meditations, and some meditations specifically for maintaining calm, serenity, and dignity (as opposed to reactivity) in the face of emotional/narcissistic abuse or at least maybe on the topic of codependency. I know that’s pretty specific but so many people are suffering at the hands of it so I think it may benefit many. Sometimes the meditations can be pretty “flat” and annoyingly silent/overly practical. Otherwise it’s a GREAT app with beautiful teachers and wonderful adaptations to your liking. Love the podcasts too!

Learning new insights

Relationship meditations are especially meaningful practicing loving mantras while challenged by difficult emotions.
Meditations are my portal to clarity… essentially discovering new insights about me & my loved one.

Premier meditation app

I love the vast selection of meditations and guides available, including being able to select different lengths. Sometimes I really only have five minutes, and that five minutes can reset my whole day and help me get on track.
