The audio stops frequently throughout the meditation and I have to start it over again, which is a huge interruption in my ability to focus on the meditation. ### 3/5 — Breathe deep *2026-04-02, version 8.6* I’m looking for an app to assist me during a difficult situation. A coach who can help me with deep breathing exercises. It works for me but I need a coach to help me. My home health nurse has suggested I find an app that works for me. To help me breathe slower and more steadily and decrease anxiety. And prevent a stressful situation from spiraling out of control. ### 3/5 — My thoughts *2026-02-06, version 8.3* I like the app, however the app doesn’t stay open if the screen isn’t touch every couple seconds. ### 5/5 — Lisa *2025-10-29, version 8.2* I like this app because it tells you exactly what you need to do. Pick a category, tap Day 1, play. Next day, same thing, except you tap Day 2, and so on. The sessions aren’t too long and are very doable to squeeze a meditation session into a busy day. I wish there was a share button from the app, but when I share it I have to share from the App Store. ### 2/5 — Music *2025-10-17, version 8.2* Music is too loud struggling hearing her soft voice ### 5/5 — Great! Love it! *2025-09-22, version 8.2* Awesome app! I love the meditations. They have made me more calm and level headed. It’s not perfect, but I’m fine with that because it’s free. ### 5/5 — Intrusive thoughts relief *2025-09-19, version 8.2* It is insane how much this app has helped my anxiety . Of course it doesn’t cure it but it relaxes me so much and helps my mental State and intrusive thoughts. Only complaint is that the app stops playing if u leave the app or phone closes ### 5/5 — Meditation *2025-07-28, version 8.1* This is a great program so far. I highly recommend it. ### 5/5 — Happy to be here *2025-07-19, version 8.1* Needed something at my fingertips, want to kick my anti depressants in a year starting here has been a nice weight off my chest ### 3/5 — Disappointed by Limited Yoga Content and Pushy Prompts *2025-05-04, version 8* I downloaded this app expecting a more comprehensive yoga section, but was disappointed to find only a handful of poses. If you’re marketing yoga as part of the offering, it should be more than just a few token stretches. Also, it’s frustrating to be bombarded with review requests before I even had a chance to properly use the app. Let users explore the content first—then earn the feedback. Right now, the experience feels more like a sales pitch than a supportive wellness tool. ### 4/5 — How I love this *2025-04-11, version 8* I had only just started and it’s AMAZING I felt so relaxed by the end. You should try it NOW. ### 5/5 — I want clear instructions on how to practice this meditation. *2025-04-10, version 8* meditation ### 5/5 — Focus *2025-04-09, version 8* I definitely like it because I am focused on the instructions and the outcome enhancement my meditation practice ### 5/5 — Mr. Donald *2025-04-01, version 8* I’m really enjoying the app. 👍 ### 4/5 — Ok *2025-03-20, version 8* Annoying that you have to have the phone open on the page while listening and a bit glitchy but ok so far ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2026-08-22, version 9.2* I have been using this app for over 5 years and I am very disappointed that it is now making me have to pay. I would do the same meditation each time and liked that I only had to pay if I wanted to use something different. Just like allllll the other apps. Have to pay to continue using it. ### 1/5 — Beginning *2026-07-07, version 8.9* I opened the app today to find a whole new platform I had gotten used to the one before. The app will not continue if your screen closes . It didn’t do this before. It must be a update that needs fixing. Please fix ASAP I’m getting used to the meditation and looking introduction but it depends on the fix. The app doesn’t work at all ### 1/5 — Broken App *2026-07-02, version 8.9* I’ve been using and paying for this app for years. You broke the perfectly working app, with your bug fix. You are not responding to email or fixing the app. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work *2026-02-16, version 8.3* Yep, paid and now it states “network error” when trying to play meditation ### 1/5 — Bait and switch scan *2025-04-11, version 8* Claims it’s free gives five minutes of an introduction to stop in the middle to tell you the limit is over and to sign up and pay ### 1/5 — Lost login *2025-02-25, version 7.9* Tried to add to ipad, logged out and lost subscription Do not recommend ### 1/5 — Not all that useful *2025-01-01, version 7.7* I can't use across multiple devices as “ those credentials are already in use” secondly I tried listening to a meditation session, my phone shuts the screen off and I have to open it up again to play.. Kinda interrupts the flow really ### 1/5 — Time. *2024-12-19, version 7.6* I recently purchased your App to help me with my emotional health but for some reason it won’t play the meditations til the end. As soon as my iPad screen light times out the App sound stops also. It does not happen with any other audio usage, iTunes etc nor does it occur with any of my other apps so I am a little confused and disappointed and so i think i will likely need to revert to my older meditations. It’s a real shame because other than that your meditations or what i have managed to listen to prior to the sound cutting off when my iPad screen light has timed out seem to be very good. Pity really, Pete M. ### 1/5 — Please fix the audio playback so it works when the phone is locked! *2024-06-19, version 7.1* The app is great but it isn’t working well right now. Please fix the issue and I’ll gladly change my review to a 5 star. Thank you! ### 1/5 — negative thoughts. *2024-06-17, version 7.1* Could not hear the words. Background noise to loud. Thank you. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app! *2026-07-10, version 9.0* I love this app so helpful and relaxing thankyou! ### 5/5 — Very great app *2026-07-07, version 8.9* I like all the mediations here ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-07-04, version 8.9* Really helps me to relax ### 5/5 — Oneness with Self *2026-05-30, version 8.7* This was the best app I have EVER used. It has helped me in so many different ways. As you go through these meditations and you apply the information that is given to you in your daily life you’ll start to see the progress. I will not stop using this app. ### 5/5 — Interesting *2026-03-24, version 8.6* I just completed my first day and I feel good. I look fo to learning more. ### 5/5 — Healing *2026-02-13, version 8.3* Wonderful thoughts to get me through each day. Worthwhile app, thank you. Blessed to have found help.
