### 3/5 — Impressions of This App

*2025-08-24*

This app would be nice to have as a stand-alone.
I think that it’s been replaced by the one on the Sadhguru app (which was truncated earlier this year from its prior length and content).

If the developer for some reason decides to reincarnate this offering:

*I also experience it shutting down when my device times-out from ‘lack of activity’. Needing to re-fidget with a device in the middle of a meditation in order to continue seems contrary to its purpose;

*I cannot find any option(s) to adjust any setting within the app. Even though I use my iPad in landscape orientation, the screen remains vertically oriented.

Thank you for your effort, developers, but this offering is basically unusable.

### 2/5 — App closes when the screen is locked

*2021-09-24*

Very keen to use it but the app closes as soon as the screen is locked. Would be great if this can be updated

### 1/5 — App has technical issue

*2021-05-07, version 2.0*

It played for the 1st time, now just stays unplayed no sound. !!

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2021-04-11*

The app (if you can even call it that) doesn’t work, doesn’t load and lacks any functionality at all. What’s the point of having it on here? Don’t bother downloading it, it doesn’t do anything, it doesn’t contain anything that will possibly help you in any way shape or form.

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2021-04-08*

As other users have pointed out the app doesn’t work in the background. It turns off in the middle of meditation and you need to unlock the device to restart the app. Hope the developers can fix his ASAP. Thanks

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2021-04-07, version 2.0*

I just downloaded this and pressed ‘play’ for the introduction and nothing happens.. no sound.. nothing.

### 3/5 — Sleep mode problem

*2021-03-13, version 2.0*

Please let the app run in background with the screen off or prevent sleep mode !!!
Meditation is powerful if there are no distractions and no interruptions!!!

### 3/5 — Mostly good

*2020-10-16*

I love having the app to use easily and often but don’t love that if my screen locks or if a call or text happens to come in during the meditation I’m interrupted. Surely there is technology to correct this?

### 1/5 — The sound isn’t working

*2020-07-29*

The app doesn’t play the meditation. There is no sound. The problem isn’t with the phone coz all the other apps have the sound audible.

### 2/5 — The audio stops when the screen gets locked

*2020-06-25*

The second annoying thing is that introduction part is compulsory to hear even if i want to hear it later that is not possible n it doesn’t show how long the introduction will go on..

### 3/5 — Stopping with locking screen

*2020-06-24*

It’s really good unless the audio is stopping if the screen gets locked.try developing this feature !

### 1/5 — The app never works

*2020-06-09, version 2.0*

After loading the second page. Nothing happens.

### 1/5 — Problem - how can we mediations ?

*2023-09-30*

Problem is either I meditate or keep my eyes on this application. Or I unlocked my phone. 
Please do something this a major error. It’s stopped at anytime. Someone also share same error 4 year ago but still seems like developers they are not reading this problem or least bothered to get an update.

### 1/5 — App is unusable on iPhone 12 mini

*2023-07-10*

I have iPhone 12 mini with most latest iOS installed.  The app simply does not work.  When I click on enroll button, I am expected to listen to an audio.  The audio play button can be clicked but I don’t hear any audio.

### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht

*2022-04-18*

Über den Startbildschirm hinaus passiert nichts nach dem Öffnen der App

### 1/5 — Not usable

*2022-01-25*

I checked the ratings and review comments, most of them old and complaining about same issue, the app stops as screen gets locked. The developer has not updated it in years to music app. Now not sure if I focus on the introduction or the screen. There is an option to go to screen setting and set it to no sleep every time I start this app and change it back. Thanks but sorry, I’ll try to find this on YouTube as it will work.

### 1/5 — Nice app but purpose is not served

*2021-10-26*

Hi , this app goes off when the mobile gets locked . If this app is for meditating without disturbance then the purpose is not served . Every 2 mins I have to open my eyes and fix it . Either you fix this bug or delete this app from the store . I think very minor fix is needed .

### 1/5 — Audio not working?

*2021-08-21*

Has anyone figured out how to turn on the sound?

### 1/5 — Counter productive

*2021-06-28*

Unable to complete meditation due to app cutting out when phone goes into sleep mode. Disappointed.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2021-06-19*

The app doesn’t seem to be working. I downloaded it and have progressed to the Introduction page, but there was no sound nor letting me to go to the next page/step. 
Please advise. Thanks.

### 5/5 — Some bugs

*2019-07-03*

Hello!  After some time after I press the play button, my screen goes dark and the recording stops.  It can be fixed.  It will be useful for many people.
Problem on iphone 5s, ios 12.3.1
🙏

### 5/5 — Wonderful lesson

*2019-05-02*

Excellent lesson. The audio does stop when the screen locks. But you can get around it by changing your iPhone settings to prevent the screen from locking while using the app. “Settings ->Display & Brightness -> Auto lock-> Never”.
