I don’t know where I’d be without it. ### 5/5 — Get the app for convenience and listen to the podcast too! *2021-08-27* Mary in her podcast Meditation Oasis has really gotten me started and helped focus me in my meditation practice. The topics are so applicable to life and the pace and guidance really just right to ground me and draw out what is calling for some LTC at the same time. Awareness and inner wisdom is activated. With this, I am now actually practicing and not just thinking I should if that makes sense! ### 5/5 — Love it *2021-08-12* I really enjoy that you can customize for different needs, scenarios, and duration. I can have a little 5 min session when I’m pressed for time and her words and voice help keep me present instead of worrying. ### 5/5 — Soothing *2021-06-24* I really like the soothing voice on M Rx. She puts me to sleep. Listening to her and following her suggestions helps. I didn’t have to try very hard to be convinced that this would be one of my go to apps. Whether sitting or driving I always get something out of it. Highly recommend it ### 5/5 — A simple and effective meditation app *2021-04-05* My wife and I have been listening to the Maddox’s meditation podcast “Meditation Oasis” and very pleased with this app. It’s a much easier way to access their guided meditation. I suggest it to my patients who are going through stress-induced ailments and it has helped them tremendously. ### 5/5 — I love this app! *2021-03-05* I’ve been using this app for several years and in my opinion it is perfect. The human voice of this app is so soothing, gentle, and kindly. Other meditation apps tend to have voices that are irritating, annoying and/or ego driven. This one is like a breath of fresh air. ### 5/5 — Love these meditations *2021-02-08* These have been helpful for me for years through various small and large struggles. Guided meditations are good for beginners or more advanced meditators. ### 5/5 — Perfect *2020-12-24* The meditations are so easy and gentle. They are good for so many other situations than just the names they are called. Can do as little as five minutes when I just want to grab a few moments of calm, or twenty minutes when I can go deeper. Mary’s voice is soothing and welcoming. ### 5/5 — Reliably good *2020-12-09* Variety of options, ability to adjust length as well as background sounds. Very helpful ### 5/5 — Highly recommended *2020-11-04* I’ve been meditating with you for 5 years now. Thank you. My life is beautiful for it. I just tried the app for the first time and I am so so happy and grateful you made it. It’s so much more accessible than the podcasts and I love being able to toggle the music. I really can’t express enough how grateful I am to have found your sessions in my life. ### 5/5 — Always Free & Excellent *2020-09-30, version 1.2* I so appreciate that this meditation app isn’t charging fees for their guided meditations, or bombarding me with upgrade options, etc. Those things often raise my anxiety or make me feel a barrier to accessing services. Beyond that, the guide Mary Maddox (spelling?) has a calm gentle voice and a soothing rhythm. You can choose music, nature sounds, or no background noise for the meditations which is great. Definitely recommend this app & their free meditations available on iPhone podcast app, Spotify, etc. ### 5/5 — Wakeful nights *2020-09-15* Both my husband and I have found your Relax into Sleep meditation invaluable Mary and I thank you for giving us this perfect solution each time when we struggle. You make such a difference in lives. ### 5/5 — Grateful. *2020-08-15* I have been listening to Mary for over 10 years. She has helped guide me through recovery from loss, injury, pain, anxiety and chronic stress. I’m so grateful for the other apps, podcasts, and the guidance you’ve provided me. And now, to think your generosity now extends to offering this app for free during the COVID pandemic... All I can say is, thank you. ### 5/5 — Best meditation app I have ever tried! *2020-08-08* Their voices and pace are perfect for taking me fully into the meditation. ### 5/5 — Thanks, Mary! *2020-07-22, version 1.2* “This is Mary Maddux” is shorthand in our house for “Let’s get some rest immediately” ### 5/5 — Soothing Voice *2020-06-26, version 1.2* I love this simple meditation app. Her voice is so soothing and I always feel better afterwards. ### 5/5 — Very helpful for health worker *2020-06-16* Thank you for this collection of apps. I already use some of your previously released ones. This collection assists me to distress when I finish a work shift feeling shattered and drained. ### 5/5 — Meditation Rx *2020-05-19, version 1.2* Loving the different options for background sound ### 5/5 — Thank You *2020-05-17, version 1.2* This app has been so helpful - especially SOS for anxiety.

I would like them to go to 20 minutes rather than just 10 or 12. That’s the only Way I could see of improving them. Very peaceful thank you Mary ### 4/5 — Great relaxation *2017-03-15* I find the13 minute getting to sleep meditation works well . I put it on if I wake up in the middle of the night and I go straight back to sleep ### 4/5 — Just right *2017-03-09, version 1.1* In stressful situations, sometimes it takes a little encouragement to relax. This is just right. ### 5/5 — The Very Best *2025-10-05* I have been listening to this for a long time. It came at the beginning of Covid. I can’t explain how this benefited my life. ### 5/5 — Calming *2025-05-25, version 1.4* It calms me a lot and whenever I’m sad it helps me ### 5/5 — Use it almost daily *2025-01-24* It’s free, easy to use, dependable and I love her voice. Sometimes I need the calm, sometimes I need the guidance, either way this app helps me almost daily. ### 5/5 — Great for dealing with chronic illness *2023-10-30* I downloaded this app to help me deal with chronic illness, and it has become my go-to app for meditation. It’s simple and straightforward, no frills, but the meditations are super helpful for coping and symptom management. I love that there is no subscription required too. Awesome! Thanks so much! ### 5/5 — Great *2023-10-05, version 1.4* Great app. Been using ig for years ### 5/5 — Great *2023-09-23, version 1.4* Thank you for this app. It has been such a blessing to me. ### 5/5 — This app saved my life *2023-07-14, version 1.4* And I’m renowned for my truth telling. ## Most praised reviews (3 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best Meditation App I’ve Found *2022-09-20* I don’t think I’ve ever written a review for an app before but this app has helped me with my anxiety so much. I took a meditation class in college and really missed the peace I got from guided meditations, but this app has fulfilled that desperately needed relief. Perhaps what I love most about this app is the fact that it is a free resource and feels more genuine and productive than other expensive guided meditation services. It seems like the people who built this app just wanted to share a resource with people who needed it. My only critique about the app is that I wish they had a paid option to remove banner ads, because they can be a little distracting. Compared to other apps that shove ads in your face every second, advertising on this app is much more tolerable. That’s just a pet peeve of mine. ### 5/5 — The more I use it, the more it helps! *2022-07-25* I use this daily, especially the sleep meditation. I recommend it to my friends and family. I really appreciate that there is no subscription fee. ### 5/5 — Grateful *2022-03-31, version 1.4* Very soothing. Thank you for providing it for free. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
