Another app that just wants your $$$ *2022-05-15, version 1.0.7* Save your time (and money) and go for a walk. Listen to a Spotify meditation playlist instead. ### 1/5 — Can’t subscribe *2022-05-02, version 1.0.7* The option for the in app purchase results in an error message for me! Would love to try the free trial. Oh well! ### 1/5 — One Star *2022-04-30, version 1.0.7* Because having to provide my information before being able to try the app is wrong.

I’m able to listen, soften, and fall deeper into meditation than with any other tools I’ve tried. The variety of meditations and different length options fit so well with my lifestyle, I’m able to keep up my practice. The soundscapes alone are just beautiful (and wonderful for spiritual work, especially if you’re interested in the natural elements).

Two thumbs up for the sound quality and concept. I was transported out of my landlocked room to water’s edge and my mind quieted quickly. Will definitely use this as a daytime routine also **Developer response:** Hi Couch shopper, thank you so much for the review.
