I’m very sensitive to voice types that interfere with me getting past their sound and into the message. UPDATE: As a paid customer, I’m still very happy with the variety of choices available to suit the many emotions I face in daily life. Able to choose suitable teachers and topics as needed. They haven’t included anything new in a very long time from what I can tell in their updates when the system checks for new information. ### 2/5 — Legacy Use Lost *2025-12-04, version 1.40.4* I have been a loyal user of this app since its first version, and have it on both iPhone and iPad. My iPhone version has retained access to most of the original courses, even if they were not downloaded, while the iPad (even after clicking “restore purchases”) affirms that I have no access to any “premium content.” I am really disappointed—I have paid many years for subscription and would really like the core content that I have had always to STAY available in future updates and subscription models. Does loyalty count for nothing these days? ### 2/5 — Too many bugs *2025-07-06, version 1.40.4* I have had the premium version of this app for 5 years now and I am sad to cancel it. The glitches and bugs just make it impossible to use this app on a long term basis. I had playlists that have been lost. My favorited meditations weren’t sorted correctly. And what annoyed me the most was if I was on airplane mode I couldn’t open the app to do my meditations on the plane where I needed it most. ### 3/5 — Update Badly Needed *2025-03-09, version 1.40.4* Good content, poor app experience. ### 2/5 — Rate *2025-02-20, version 1.40.4* Rate ### 2/5 — App doesn't work *2024-10-30, version 1.40.4* The app will close when trying to start a meditation. I wrote to their support team but never replied. It's a shame, it looked nice ### 4/5 — I Am a Legacy User *2024-10-03, version 1.40.4* Update as of October 2024: Someone from the support team reached out to me to help with troubleshooting steps and was able to restore my original free content. Great customer service. Thank you! Original review: I am a legacy user and all my previous free meditations have been locked. Please unlock these. I even tried the “restore purchase” option and it didn’t do anything. 👎🏼 ### 3/5 — Interface seems out of date *2024-08-12, version 1.40.4* Wish there were more frequent updates ### 3/5 — App updates? *2023-11-29, version 1.40.4* The larger lists seem to have stoped populating. Is this app being discontinued? ### 2/5 — The courses and collections stopped working *2023-09-15, version 1.40.4* Nothing comes up when I click these two main resources that most use with this app. I just paid so I could have access to everything. Please fix. ### 3/5 — What happened?!? *2023-04-10, version 1.40.4* I have had this app for years. I swear by this app, have recommended to many. I got a call subscription for free through with and figured sure…I’ll check it out. Immediately annoyed that almost all meditations are over 30 mins. Sometimes a girl just needs to fall asleep quickly! Your app stopped working, and I have the subscription through July. Regardless I was going to renew but now I’m concerned I shouldn’t! It just shows like 10 meditations no matter what I click! ### 5/5 — Use this app every day *2023-03-15, version 1.40.4* I really enjoy meditation studio ### 5/5 — Life changing! *2023-02-13, version 1.40.2* I work in an extremely stressful environment. Plus, I suffer from ADHD and anxiety disorder. This app has greatly improved my mood and concentration. Out of all the meditation apps, Meditation Studio is my favorite. The interface is clean and easy to use, teachers are amazing, and the meditation topics are relevant. I love this app! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2025-04-01, version 1.40.4* I was a long time user of this app and loved it. Now if I try to play anything the app just crashes. I’ve reached out to customer support multiple times and never received a response. I have cancelled my subscription now. ### 1/5 — Not worth it. *2024-08-07, version 1.40.4* Not worth it for the amount of data collected… it’s a meditation app—why take our data? 🤔 ### 1/5 — Explanation—Rip Off! *2023-11-17, version 1.40.4* One star so far! I have no idea how to utilize the app. Also I should have been billed $24.99 for the annual plan not $49.99! ### 1/5 — Not usable on iPad *2023-05-27, version 1.40.4* This app was always weird on the iPad and now it won’t work at all. Beyond that they removed certain meditations that were free for legacy users (including one of my favorites) ### 1/5 — Already paid *2023-05-12, version 1.40.4* I already paid for this app back in 2016, then suddenly they changed to subscription mode. It wasn’t cheap, and now there’s very little content to access. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2023-04-11, version 1.40.4* Been using this app for years. All of a sudden I need a yearly subscription? No thanks ### 1/5 — Greedy Bait and Switch *2023-02-19, version 1.40.2* Like many users have expressed already, I opened the app one day to find every single thing I had set up locked away with no notice, even the free content. I guess I’m moving to 100% Spotify a little sooner than I had anticipated. I wouldn’t waste your time setting anything up or tagging favorites—it won’t be there when you actually need it, and never when you’re not on wifi. ### 1/5 — Horrible experience *2022-11-07, version 1.40.2* I’ve had this app for years and enjoyed some of the free meditations when I couldn’t sleep. Unfortunately, with no warning, ALL the meditations are now locked and behind a pay wall. Honestly, if I’d had warning, I probably would have paid for it. Now I’ll be deleting and paying for a different app. ### 1/5 — All my mediations gone *2022-06-24, version 1.40.2* I was a legacy customer and didn’t buy into the subscription process. I now logged in after a while of not using the app to see all of my content now blocked. Terrible treatment of legacy customers. I can no longer keep recommending this app as they don’t value their oldest customers. ### 1/5 — Worst customer service ever *2022-06-18, version 1.40.2* I’ve tried numerous times to get help as none of the meditations are showing up. Once I made clear I was a legacy user, they stopped responding. It’s pretty clear that they do not value their legacy customers and and it’s turned me off to the rest of what is their mindfulness franchise. I would’ve considered doing a subscription but the lack of response is so offensive I want nothing to do w this app and their money-making franchise. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best voices *2026-02-24, version 1.40.4* Been using this app for several years. First: i love the organization and selection of meditations for various issues. Second: your instructors have the best voices. I have tried other apps but the voices turned me off right away. So good job on that. The price is accessible to me. Keep it up! ### 5/5 — Phenomenal app *2026-01-18, version 1.40.4* This app has something for everyone, I swear! It has meditations that are short and sweet, middling in length-but top tier in content, long + lovely, that leave you in a wonderful place, and meditations that are unguided-to allow you room to explore and grow in your practice. This app has been crucial for me as a critical care nurse, as it helps me focus before my shift and unwind & let go afterwards, and it has helped my patients, too! I strongly recommend it! ### 5/5 — Help and healing for all areas of life. *2025-12-24, version 1.40.4* Meditation Studio has a wide variety of meditations to guide you through any need and time frame you have. The lessons are wonderful for new meditators. I received a free download from my Starbucks membership and I couldn't thank them enough for it. My practice is actually growing thanks to this app. I am a newbie and this app helps me so much! ### 5/5 — Used this for years! *2024-10-09, version 1.40.4* I’ve been listening to Colleen Saidman Yee’s “Unwind and Let Go” meditation since 2016. It’s one of my favorites and just works for me like nothing else. Can’t thank you enough. ### 5/5 — Best app ever *2024-08-24, version 1.40.4* Helps me with anxiety, pain sleep relaxation everything. It is a well rounded app ### 5/5 — Best meditation app I’ve found yet *2024-07-10, version 1.40.4* Have been using the guided meditations for years. If you don’t find a rhythm with the first teacher, try another and another til you find one that suits you and their voice/style brings you calm. There are literally so many wonderful options and this app genuinely saved my sanity many times during stressful work days between meetings, or on lunch breaks. I recommend it to everyone I know! ### 5/5 — Variety of teaching styles makes it easy to find something that works for you *2024-05-28, version 1.40.4* Love this app. Even its free version has plenty of introductory practices and teachers to suit your learning style. I’m very sensitive to voice types that interfere with me getting past their sound and into the message. It’s the best. There’s a podcast with extended topics. UPDATE: Still very happy with the variety of choices available to suit the many emotions I face in daily life. Able to choose suitable teachers and topics as needed. ### 5/5 — Amazing App!! *2024-03-07, version 1.40.4* Life-changing! I love this app. The guided meditations for sleep, happiness and stress have helped me so much. There are so many great teachers. My favorite soundtrack is called silk. I use it with most meditations. It's the best app out there. ### 5/5 — conflict *2024-02-10, version 1.40.4* A wonderful calming voice with instruction that could be helpful. ### 5/5 — My favorite app *2023-03-16, version 1.40.4* I’ve used other meditation apps. This is simplest and best instructors. It’s been a while since they’ve added any new content though. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
