The timer is especially helpful, so I can relax and not worry about losing track of time. Has a wide variety of choices of either music, nature sounds, or chanting. I highly recommend it! ### 5/5 — Great relaxation app! *2012-09-23, version 1.9.1* I highly recommend this to anyone who has trouble sleeping. I hooked my iPad up to my iPod speaker dock aux in, and play Delta 2.5 Mhz and Brown Noise from the mixing board (so there isn't a time limit) and I've been getting the best sleep I've had in years! ### 5/5 — Super!!!!!!!!!!!! *2012-09-08, version 1.9.1* This app has helped me relax, focus, and calmed down a lot. The sounds help me meditate and finally my mind is at rest. Everything is peaceful, bliss and happy. When I go to school I'm never nervous for tests, and I''m much more in a better mood. Thank You so much!!!!!!!!!! ### 4/5 — Very interesting app *2012-05-25, version 1.8* I didn't expect much, but was pleasantly surprised by this meditation tool. Easy to use, reasonable sound quality and countless variations - at best it will be vital part of your discipline, at worst it is a fun sound pallet to relax to. ### 5/5 — Versatile! *2012-05-13, version 1.8* Meditation is an amazingly thorough program, allowing you to mix sounds with binaural beats. Well done, it can provide amazing meditative support. ### 5/5 — Best ever!! *2012-03-02, version 1.7* Definitely get this app if you are a meditator or just like to relax to some soothing sounds. One of the best mixers I have ever encountered. ### 5/5 — Great App *2012-02-10, version 1.7* This is one of the best apps ever. Easy to use I highly recommend this to any one who meditates... ### 5/5 — Meditation *2012-02-09, version 1.7* This application provides so many sound choices to add to my daily meditation. The sound quality is excellent and the features are varied making this application a must have. ### 5/5 — Great for meditating or relaxing *2012-01-16, version 1.6.2* Really nice app with good variety in sounds. Provides great ambience for meditating or just relaxing and reading a book. Highly recommended for anyone interested in an app to assist in meditation or relaxation. ### 4/5 — Good, could be better *2012-01-09, version 1.6.2* I really like the chants, different from most of the relaxation apps, however the natural sounds are weak and sometimes hard to distinguish and sound like all the other apps offerings. That being said it does haver good features- like the timer- and I do use the chants often as a background on at work on hectic days and to help sleep. ### 5/5 — Wonderful! *2012-01-04, version 1.6.2* Lulled into a peaceful sleep. If I woke, I heard such beautiful sounds, that I went right back to sleep, a problem before. Looking forward to meditation, also. Great app! ### 5/5 — A must for meditation on the road! *2012-01-02, version 1.6.2* Wonderful app!!! Thank you kindly...the handy timer is a blessing to have, and the wake up alarm feature a great way to start the day. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Could be truly great *2013-08-24, version 2.1* Great choices of sounds and scenery, but the app's functionality is not intuitive...just to figure out an easy way to do a 10 minute meditation, with morning sounds and scenery, and a gentle gong at the end is way too confusing. I tried to make this my go to app, but I end up using other apps that offer less, but are simpler to use. ### 1/5 — Not intuitive *2011-05-30, version 1.5* I've been flipping around this app for about 20 minutes and now I'm so frustrated I need to go meditate. I've figured out nothing except how to get a bell to ring after some time interval. I got a pretty picture and some relaxing chanting, but most times when I try to do anything else the chanting stops or starts over again. There is a timer function that is easy to set or reset, but i have no idea how to start it. And from the screen with the pretty picture, if I tap on the timer icon, instead of the meditation timer I get the 'night timer'. Again, it's easy to set or reset, but how do you start it? I'm sorry I bought the app, but at least it wasn't very expensive. Maybe if there were instructions I'd be able to use it. ### 2/5 — Meditation App *2011-04-09, version 1.3* The Save and Play does NOT work. I have spent too much time creating custom sounds, save them, play and then go back and they are no longer available. I've had 2 other people try this and they said it doesn't work properly I'd like this to be upgraded and repaired b/c I think the application has a lot of potential and is very cool ### 3/5 — Having trouble *2011-05-18, version 1.5* Save and play doesn't let me hear sounds. I went to help and I am doing what I am supposed to. I will update my rate when I have used more. So far I do like the other features. My Golden Temple has changed. Besides the picture being swapped which is not a big deal, although the chant is the same it does not sound the same. I don't find it as relaxing as the one I was just listening to yesterday. ### 4/5 — Has everything you need! *2013-11-16, version 2.1* I love this app. Use it daily. It has everything you need from just simple timed meditation to mixing your own tracks. Wish the gong to end your meditation stopped before the music ends. It all seems very abrupt, but that's my only complaint. ### 4/5 — Very good app *2013-05-01, version 2.0* I really enjoy this app. It is nice to have such a wide selection of background music and ambient sounds to select from. The mixer function is also very nice. I greatly appreciate that there is sacred music from the Hindu, Jain, Buddhist, and Christian religions. Some time in the future it would be wonderful to hear sacred music from the Jewish, Muslim, Sikh, and Taoist traditions. Sufi melodies, especially, seem to be an ideal fit. Keep up the good work! ### 4/5 — Great sounds, confusing interface *2013-01-18, version 2.0* The sounds this app provides are just what I was looking for and the audio quality is terrific. However, I think the user interface could be much cleaner and simpler. The process of saving your favorite sounds and using them in timed meditations is far from intuitive, in my opinion, and could definitely be improved/streamlined. That being said, I think I'll enjoy this app quite a bit. ### 4/5 — took some getting used to, but great sounds and really enjoy *2012-08-10, version 1.9* I had a little trouble navigating this one at first (I still do, sometimes) but overall it's worth it. This is the app I use for all my daily, afternoon meditations when I need to drown out the sound of our loud refrigerator or redirect my ears away from listening for my son to wake up. I don't use the pictures at all, but they ARE really nice. What I really enjoy is the choice of sounds. I've gotten really attached to the "Leaves" sound option and none of the other meditation apps I've tried have this sound. (Fall is my favorite season, so I think the sound of leaves is really cozy and comforting to me.) The Buddist chanting sounds are also really nice. Though I haven't used the feature yet - I do really like that I can, at somet point, utilize songs from my own music library. ### 4/5 — Good App *2012-06-25, version 1.8* Comes with a decent library and you can mix many more sounds to get what you are after. I haven't tried all the features but all I've tried we're better than I expected. ### 4/5 — Solid meditation application *2012-06-14, version 1.8* This app is really good. My only complaints are that the user interface could be nicer and the app could use a tutorial. Maybe even some education/tips on meditation. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The BEST sleep EVER! *2018-04-17, version 2.2.202* I’ve been an insomniac since I was 6, this app helped me make the PERFECT music/natural sounds to put me deep into sleep! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 ### 5/5 — Wonderful. *2017-04-13, version 2.2.202* I love this app! I use it daily. Thank you! ### 5/5 — The best meditation app I have found *2016-06-22, version 2.2* I have several meditation apps and this one is the final one I will buy. Extremely pleasant, loads of choices for background sounds and intuitive controls. For some reason I get more benefit from using this app for ten minutes than other apps or no apps for longer. Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — Awesome Meditation and Sleep App! *2016-01-14, version 2.2* I used the free version every night and morning for months before I broke down and bought the bundle to get this app and others, but this one still remains my favorite. I love how customizable the sounds are and how easy it is to set favorites for a quick trip to dreamland or a refreshing and relaxing meditation. No need to be online all the time with this app. The mixer is intuitive and easy to use and the sleep timer is handy as well. The different sounds, even though the music ones slowly change, meld with and complement one another, and I have never heard a dissonant note even when playing multiple musical sounds together. The timing and integration of all of the elements are what set this app above other meditation apps that simply play sound loops. A lot of thought and mixing technology obviously went into building this. I can't think of anything more I would want to add to this meditation app. It's the whole package and sure to please no matter if you use the free or paid version. ### 5/5 — Mediation must have *2013-07-25, version 2.1* This app has it all. Many many types and styles of music designed to bring a calm peacefulness to your meditation. It also has built in timers and alarms. You can create and save your own mixes too. I'm very glad I bought this app. ### 5/5 — Really nice app! It's worth every penny! *2013-07-04, version 2.0* This is the one I use on my iPhone. If you work late hours and need to rest in between jobs... This will do the trick. Just make sure you set an alarm to wake up. ### 5/5 — I love this App and you will too!!! *2013-05-26, version 2.0* What a surprise! You have the ability to create your own meditation background by blending the sounds of nature's elements, chimes, chanting/om's and melodic notes. Be the DJ to your Om. Enjoy! ### 5/5 — AWESOME APP *2013-04-21, version 2.0* What is super cool about this is the mixing you can do to get 'your' ideal sound. I use it all the time, punctuating my thoughts and stirring my creativity just by using it. Everybody is different so what makes me more creative might put you to sleep or into trance, but this fab app gives you the option. Love it. ### 5/5 — Exceptional *2013-02-11, version 2.0* This is in the top three of my most used apps. I use it for meditation and for relaxing, drowning out background noise on airplanes. ### 5/5 — Love! Thank! *2013-02-01, version 2.0* Great app for meditation or relaxing. Timer is great. I had to read the help section regarding saving sounds, but once I read that it was easy! Also live being able to bring music in from my music library.
