Bug fixes and improvements

User reviews

Most RecentHighest RatedLowest Rated

A couple bugs but good

The meditation section has a bug on mindfulness island - the app needs a mechanism to keep your phone open and unlocked while you meditate otherwise you find yourself disengaging with it to tap your screen to keep it awake.
There is also a bug with the mood journal thing - it takes me to put in an emotion and then freezes the app completely. I have to close it and reopen the app and have only successfully logged a mood once because I manually entered it.
Other than this the app is really helpful and I think once the bugs are handled it will be very good. Especially the guided meditation offered and the toolbox.
