The app, is somewhat wonky. Trying to send messages to my therapist causes the app to crash sometimes. Watching some of the content crashes the app sometimes. The only solution i have found is to wait. ### 4/5 — Excellent training *2025-05-14, version 2.102.0* EVERYONE should this! Especially if you have any stressors in your life. Such good information and daily practice. The steps are well presented and easy to follow. Having a therapist to connect with for any personal issues or questions is a great additional perk. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2025-05-13, version 2.102.0* This app was listed on my insurance so I thought insurance would cover it— it did not. The price was listed at $300 but that didn’t include the initial visit. Overall this was not what I was anticipating— treatment or price wise. ### 5/5 — Amazing Program & Company! *2025-04-25, version 2.102.0* I have worked at Meru Health as a remote therapist for just about a year. This 12-week, app based program is excellent, and it is a fabulous place to work. Participants have incredible content available daily, as well as the ability to chat regularly with their therapist via dashboard. Heart Rate Variability Biofeedback training, and as-needed check-in appointments with the therapist are additional components of this program. As a therapist, I have observed Participants that are actively engaged, make significant progress in symptom reduction (anxiety and depression), and improved emotional resiliency over the course of the program. ### 1/5 — Unable to use the app *2025-04-21, version 2.102.0* I been contacting IT . Impossible to get a human to talk . More than 2 months with issues ### 5/5 — Participant *2025-04-18, version 2.102.0* Meru has taught me amazing coping skills to deal with the daily stressors of life. The mind-body connection is so important which this program reminds us of through the daily practices and activities! ### 1/5 — Great therapy & terrible app *2025-04-15, version 2.102.0* I love this mindfulness and biofeedback practice a lot. But, for some reason I was signed out of the app last week and it’s so glitchy and keeps freezing when I try to sign back in - I haven’t been able to get back in. The app needs fixed. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Money on top of money *2026-09-01, version 2.160.0* Meru Health was listed as a park under my CIGNA healthcare website so I thought that it would be discounted or complementary instead although I already pay an insane deductible and a high monthly cost I wanted to charge over 200 to have an intake and then over 300 per month. This is all on top of my already overpriced healthcare. ### 1/5 — Not helpful and dumbed down if you already have basic knowledge of these concepts *2026-08-18, version 2.157.0* Unfortunately, I found the app and support too basic and general for my needs. The assessments were also superficial, giving one a false sense of progress or improvement. The quizzes after each video were superficial progress b no markers that offered no reflection, but rather check box. In fact, I rarely ever watched the videos and still sneered every question correctly because I’ve already learned these concepts through other work or they were obvious. The coach/therapist didn’t really care about my specific needs or reasons for being on the app and was more concerned with me checking the box by watching irrelevant videos to my needs and completing the superficial self assessment ### 1/5 — Trash Support *2026-07-16, version 2.154.0* It has been impossible to have a conversation with support, they do not answer the basic questions I ask, and automatically close the thread even if I am responding. No idea what the copay is and they can’t seem to tell me. ### 1/5 — Scam - deceptive billing *2026-06-16, version 2.153.0* Useless program with deceptive billing. ### 1/5 — Christians Beware *2026-06-05, version 2.153.0* If I could give 0 stars o would. This is New Aged mysticism disguised as therapy. It’s exactly what we Christian’s are told to avoid. The fact that my insurance pays for this is laughable. ### 1/5 — app is completely unusable on iphone 13 mini :( *2026-05-19, version 2.152.0* it won’t let me even enter my email… ### 1/5 — Scummy Organization *2026-02-05, version 2.138.0* I was told my insurance would cover the cost, instead they sent me multiple bills with NO EXPLANATION. I’ve requested itemized bills several times, but it is impossible to get a hold of a real person to speak to and their customer service is completely negligent. ### 1/5 — Too blunt of a tool *2026-01-15, version 2.137.0* I’m sure other people may find this about as useful as some other guided mindfulness options, but the materials are not particularly engaging. It didn’t work for me at all, it is too impersonal, too generic and is not a substitute or alternative for traditional therapy in my opinion (a complement at best). When voicing my thoughts about ending the program as I was having trouble finding it engaging enough, they were quick to drop me, rather than take feedback or better explain things in a way that can help motivate someone who has voiced struggles of finding motivation for tasks. ### 1/5 — App does not work *2025-09-08, version 2.114.0* I'm not sure if it's iOS compatible. It just freezes and force closes over and over again. I've reached out to support, honestly I'm just going to delete it. I'd rather zoom a therapist. ### 1/5 — Sign up broken *2025-08-05, version 2.113.0* I can’t even enter my email without it freezing. I tried work around like copy paste but it still freezes. I’ve never had this problem before on any app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best app ever!!! *2026-08-20, version 2.157.0* I was referred through my pcp’s office and it was the best thing they could’ve ever done for me! Better than any prescription! It gives you tools and techniques, things we may have not otherwise done on our own to help manage what we can do to help ourselves! This is huge for me! I started a few weeks ago and I can honestly say I feel more progress with this app than the other therapy modalities I have tried. Bela, my coach, is amazing! She listens, she is kind, she is very knowledgeable! All in all give this app a chance. It is worth the time you will spend on it. Best holistic approach to caring for my health that the doctors ever offered. ### 5/5 — Biofeedback *2026-04-09, version 2.140.0* So peaceful! ### 5/5 — For the Serious *2026-02-22, version 2.139.0* I have been in the program for 5 weeks and am still discovering new tools. All are helpful. ### 5/5 — Very Helpful *2026-02-06, version 2.138.0* I love the Meru Health therapy app because it’s easy to use and the simple design makes it easier to navigate. ### 5/5 — Happy Happy *2026-01-29, version 2.138.0* So glad I found this app through my insurance providers website. Really recommend if you want to get into meditating and increase heart rate variability fast!! ### 5/5 — Power in mental health therepy *2026-01-24, version 2.138.0* I'm in the middle of my 12 week journey with Meru Health, and I couldn't be more happier with the transformation in the outcome the program and my therapist, Leah, has supported and impacted my life - personally and professionally. I am learning how emotions, the mind, sleep, and eating all have influences on my healthy daily function. My therapist provides supportive articles/videos/techniques regularly, and I love them because it's helped me to apply and practice in my daily functions and see such positive and healthier results. I am beyond thankful for this program, and I have even shared my experience with my colleagues. One shared with me, "I needed to hear you share the power in your mental journey with me today." I wasn't expecting that response, yet it made me feel great knowing my experience and dedication to the process has helped someone else. Highly recommend Meru Health and giving it your full you to see the power in how the program and therapists can change your life, just as it has changed mine for happier and healthier me. ### 5/5 — So far so good *2026-01-21, version 2.138.0* I didn’t think I needed help. But so far I’m thinking about my actions more. ### 5/5 — Very compelling *2025-11-12, version 2.128.0* This has been a great way to listen to how problems can arise and simple ways to try and solve them I am only just starting so know results as yet but love it. ### 5/5 — Review, refresher and some new ideas *2025-10-31, version 2.128.0* I found myself with some challenges that kept evading my attempts to come to grips with them. As a result my self-satisfaction and effects on others was really unsatisfactory. This app and its focus on practical solutions and concrete strategies are a great resource. It has several techniques that I have use and reminded me of the many times I’ve used them successfully in the past. New ones are taught and opportunities to practice them are available. Meru got it right, and I’m glad my health plan makes it available. ### 5/5 — Good for improving mental health *2025-10-10, version 2.124.0* Been using the app for a few weeks, and the therapist is really helpful and the exercises are improving how I handle stress/mood. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
