Very hard to meditate and “reduce stress” during the sessions when all I’m hearing is a fake voice trying to be real and making it very uncomfortable. Would be fine for and automated system that is just to give information, but for actual meditation….prbly not getting the full effect of this since I just want to skip the meditations each time **Developer response:** Hi there.

Mindea Team ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2024-07-29* I purchased the Mindea app a couple days ago. I’ve completed a Smart Choice that isn’t registering anywhere as completed, which isn’t very motivating and seems to defeat the purpose of the app. When I looked for a spot to report this issue, I discovered that reporting issues was difficult. I also discovered that the price more than doubles after the first month. **Developer response:** Hi! Thank you for reaching out to us.

Mindea Team ### 3/5 — Cool idea but would love to see some improvements *2024-07-12* Cool idea but would love to see some improvements: 1. The meditations are not read by a human voice. Not pleasant or relaxing to listen to. A voice actor with a soothing voice would make more sense here. 2. The majority of the “distractions” from cravings for a female user of the app are stereotypical. Not all of use do our make up or paint our nails to relax. Would be cool if this whole section could be customized. 3. The emotion tracking for the “help” section doesn’t ofter an option for how I’m actually feeling - this could be less reductionist. **Developer response:** Hi Megan, Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. We're glad to hear that you find our app concept appealing, and we appreciate your suggestions for improvement. 1. Meditation Voices: We understand that the quality of the voice in guided meditations is crucial for a relaxing experience. 2. Cravings Distractions: We apologize if some of the distractions feel stereotypical. Customizing this section to better suit individual preferences is a great idea, and we'll work on offering more diverse and personalized options. 3. Emotion Tracking: We appreciate your feedback on the emotion tracking feature. Making it more comprehensive and less reductionist is important to us, and we'll strive to provide a wider range of options to better capture how you're feeling. Your input is invaluable as it helps us make the app better for all users. If you have any more suggestions or need further assistance, please reach out to us at support@mindea.app. Thank you again for your insights and for using our app. ### 1/5 — Misleading ads - worthless app *2024-06-01* The app doesn’t actually have anything to do with their ads. No prompts. You simply push a button when you feel an urge, it asks you questions then gives you a meditation. Think if I had 5 minutes every time an ADHD urge came up I’d need help? Probably not. Didn’t help to reframe food experiences in the least. ### 1/5 — Scam app *2024-05-30* Please read the reviews before signing up. They say there is a 30-day guarantee to get you to pay for a subscription but then claim they aren’t able to refund money when you ask. The app also doesn’t have anything to do with the ads they serve. Classic scam/fraud app on the App Store. Maybe if enough of us report it we can spare people in the future. How dare you take advantage of people who are just trying to better themselves? **Developer response:** Hi! Thank you for reaching out to us.

Mindea Team ### 1/5 — Awful *2024-05-26* It doesn’t prompt with any notifications, there’s no real format to the accountability it’s entirely self motivated. If I had enough executive functioning to use this app as is I wouldn’t need an app! This was marketed as something helpful for folks with ADHD & it has none of the tools it recommends using like reminder functions or food logs, beverage logs, schedules. It’s basically a meditation app. It’s a great concept I just have a free version for that. I reached out because after only a few days I realized I am forgetting to look at it, except now I am annoyed I spent $25 on a 3 month subscription. I downloaded it based on an IG ad that said money back. Well, I contacted support and have been told my reason doesn’t qualify for a refund, and they will give me a year without charging me. Save your time and money, just download something else **Developer response:** Hi! Thank you for reaching out to us.

Mindea Team ### 5/5 — Above all expectations *2024-02-22* Mindea's approach sets it apart from other weight loss apps. Instead of focusing solely on calorie counting and restrictions, it helps me address the root causes of my habits. Through challenges and assisted reflection, I've learned to identify triggers for mindless eating and develop healthier coping mechanisms. The emphasis on self-love and emotional well-being has been transformative for me, especially after years of struggling with yo-yo dieting. **Developer response:** We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience with Mindea! Thank you for sharing your journey with us! ### 5/5 — Mindea is a life saver! *2024-02-22* As someone who's struggled with emotional eating, Mindea has provided me with invaluable tools to address those habits. The assisted reflection sessions have allowed me to explore the root causes of my behavior in a supportive environment 🫶 **Developer response:** We are thrilled to hear that Mindea has been beneficial for you in addressing emotional eating. Thank you for sharing your feedback with us! ### 5/5 — I finally did it!!!Thank you Mindea *2024-02-20* I've tried numerous weight loss apps in the past, but none have had the impact that Mindea has had on me in just four weeks. Mindea stands out because it helps you love yourself more and understand your body better. Plus, its help button gives you quick support whenever you need it, making the path to a healthier life easier. I highly suggest this app to anyone who wants a complete and thoughtful way to lose weight. **Developer response:** We're thrilled to hear that Mindea has had such a positive impact on your wellness journey! Your dedication to self-improvement is inspiring. ### 5/5 — You need to try *2024-02-20* I appreciate the mindful approach to weight loss, focusing not just on the physical aspect but also on the emotional and psychological factors. It's helped me cultivate a healthier relationship with food and myself. **Developer response:** We're thrilled to hear that Mindea has helped you develop a healthier relationship with food and yourself! Keep up the great work on your mindful eating journey! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Predatory billing, beware. *2024-09-19* I tried the app for a week over three months ago and it was not useful to me so I cancelled within the trial service period. I was charged $70 again three months later. When I contested, the company stated they have a no refund policy. Then, they proceeded on several gaslighting emails about how I should have known better. I have found other apps that help with clear subscription policies. This one is not useful as an app, and is horrible with customer service. It’s is just a finicky money grabbing site. I do not recommend this app. Update: Customer service has sent me a fourth reiterating that they do a great job with communication and I should have known better. I know better now. I do not recommend this app. **Developer response:** Hi there! We truly regret to hear about your experience with billing and customer service. Your feedback is important, and we appreciate you sharing it. If you have more details to share, please reach out to us at lily.support@mindea.app. Thank you for your insights, and we hope we find a solution that works for you. Mindea Team ### 1/5 — Do NOT Fall for the Trial Period Trap *2024-09-19* This app is intentionally hard to unsubscribe from once you sign up for a trial period(T). You are not able to unsubscribe directly from the app, nor via Apple’s subscription in the iPhone’s general settings. And, the ‘no return’ policy is buried in the fine print so small it clearly represents a large amount of revenue for this Ap. Bottom line: it’s predatory—use NOOM—they have a better refund policy and don’t have bots generating their email replies and review responses. **Developer response:** Hi there! We genuinely regret the inconvenience you've faced with the subscription process and appreciate your feedback. Your concerns about clarity and ease of unsubscribing are important to us. We’ll take your comments into account for future improvements, so please contact us at lily.support@mindea.io. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

No way this app gets 4 stars. The app is not great. It hard to manage and isn’t realistic. They tout having a 30 day money back guarantee but then say when you request it you didn’t read terms and confusions which state only if the app has technical issues can you get your money back. Other than that this company seems hard up for peoples hard earned money. This app is garbage. Don’t buy and def don’t buy thinking you can utilize the 30 day cancellation if you don’t like it. **Developer response:** Hi there! We truly appreciate your feedback and regret any confusion regarding the money-back guarantee. Your concerns about the app's usability are important, and we value your input. If you have specific issues to share, please reach out to us at support@mindea.app with "Store review" as the subject line. Mindea Team ### 1/5 — Unsatisfied & Money-Grab *2024-08-22* Tried out this app back at the end of May. I purchased what I thought was a three-month trial for $25. Used it for about two weeks and didn’t really vibe with it. I found it unhelpful and more of a pain than anything else. No big deal - $25 home but I tried something new… that is until yesterday I get an email that charged me $69 for the next three months! They are saying this is what I signed up for, which I find very hard to believe because I’m a well-educated woman who knows how to read. However, I admit it’s possible that the fine print was there (the email they claim I received was not in my trash box because it’s more than three months ago). I requested an immediate refund and they said even though I purchase this in error, and even though I am unsatisfied with the App and NOT actively using in for months now, they will not refund me. BUYER BEWARE that even if you are unhappy, or even if you do purchase in error, they will not work with you. I’m assuming this is how they make most of their money. Essentially stealing from unsuspecting people but hiding behind fine print. It’s so ridiculous that they won’t just click a button and refund someone who isn’t happy and clearly does not want their product! **Developer response:** Hello! We’re sorry to hear that you’ve had a negative experience with our service. We want to assure you that before any purchase, we require users to accept our subscription terms, which are designed to provide all the necessary information upfront. We believe this step is crucial to ensure transparency and clarity for all our users, but we appreciate there can be misunderstandings. Please reach out to our Team at support@mindea.app with “Store Feedback” in the subject line. We would like to review your case and come to a satisfactory resolution. Thank you for your understanding. Mindea Team ### 1/5 — Expensive and buggy *2024-08-15* I think I expected some useful tracking and education. This is just a mindfulness app, and an expensive one at that. I set the reminders and there is no way to turn them off and they pop up at completely random times (midday will sometimes pup up in the morning or middle of the night, for instance). Contacted support and they didn’t seem to understand what I was asking. Try it if you want, but try it out before you get the year subscription, because you CANNOT get your money back. Or stop the reminders, apparently. **Developer response:** Hi there. Making sure you're happy is what we're all about, and we're here to help with any problems you're having. To get things sorted out as quickly and smoothly as possible, could you send us an email at support@mindea.app with the subject “Store Feedback”?

Mindea Team ### 1/5 — Beware of auto renewal charges! *2024-07-17* There is no way to sign up without opting into auto renewal and they don’t give you a heads up that they are going to charge you. They won’t give refunds if you decide you don’t like the app and want to cancel. As far as the content- there is nothing new or unique that I have found in the app. Thus I didn’t find it useful at all. **Developer response:** Hi there! We're truly grateful that you’ve taken the time to share your thoughts with us. We are sorry that your experience was unsatisfactory and we will do everything we can to make it right. We get that it might be hard to navigate through all the information sometimes, and we genuinely want you to feel supported.

Mindea Team ### 1/5 — Still charging my card after cancelling *2024-07-02* I signed up for the app and it wasn’t for me so I sent an email to cancel and received a confirmation. Now 3 months later they are trying to charge my card again. I emailed saying I already cancelled and received confirmation of that but they are still attempting to charge my card. **Developer response:** Hi there! We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience and frustration you have experienced with our subscription process. We understand your concerns regarding the charge after you cancel your subscription, and we are truly sorry for any confusion this may have caused. To assist you further, please contact us at support@mindea.app with the subject line “Store Feedback”, including your account details and any relevant information regarding the cancellation. Our team is committed to reviewing your case thoroughly and ensuring that the issue is resolved as quickly as possible. We value your feedback and are dedicated to improving our services. Mindea Team ### 1/5 — Unfortunately for them, it seems scammy *2024-06-21* I downloaded. Made login. Waited a while. Received msg stating (with very bad grammar: 1st indication) something like, ‘we’ve successfully designed a personalized plan for you’ (how? I gave no information: 2nd indication). Then below the msg were options to pay. Nope. Gut told me to delete immediately after all that. Sorry not sorry. **Developer response:** Hi, thanks for sharing your perspective! Our fitness experts put a lot of thought into designing our training plans, and we're here to fully support you on your journey. If you'd like to learn more about our app before subscribing, don't hesitate to get in touch with our Support Team. They will be happy to help! ### 1/5 — Bad App, Bad Customer Service *2024-06-03* I downloaded this app to see what it was about, I’ve tried others like it and was curious to see if it was different. It’s like noom but with way less features and when I realized this, I asked to cancel and refund. I’ve NEVER had a problem getting refunded for an app I didn’t plan to use that I’d had no less than 2 hours. They claim I agreed to their refund policy like it was up front and center but of course it was buried and I didn’t even catch it. This app is giving SCAM vibes. Shame on you for using a MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLNESS app to prey upon people. Avoid this app at all costs. **Developer response:** Hi there!

Mindea Team ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good self studying tool, definitely recommend it *2024-06-20* I got Mindea a couple of weeks ago because I liked the ad message, even though I didn’t know what exactly to expect, as their approach is new to me. And I really like it now, although I needed a few days to get used to the fact that I don’t have to focus on calories so much. I’ve been learning to listen to my body and understand my emotions better, and now I clearly see how stress causes episodes of overeating and binge eating in my life. I also appreciate the supportive tone of the app and the absence of pressure in any form. **Developer response:** Hi, we are grateful for your feedback and we are more than happy to help you achieve your fitness goals! ### 5/5 — Great Tool for Mindful Eating *2024-04-14* I am loving Mindea. Simple to use and doesn’t require a ton of my time. It has quickly affected my eating in a healthy way. My relationship with food snacking and healthy lifestyle journey is well supported with this app! **Developer response:** Hey, it is our pleasure to know we were able to help you achieve your goal! Keep up with the pace and never give up! ### 5/5 — This app is a game changer 🤩 *2024-03-23* I have a relatively healthy diet and lifestyle, my biggest problem is snacking, and I can’t lose weight because of this. I snack too much, too often, and it’s hard for me to choose healthier snacks. I started using all the tools mindea offers to deal with cravings and it works most of the time! Yeah, I still have to restrain myself sometimes but overall hunger management became much easier (because now I know that it’s not always true hunger!) ### 5/5 — I love it 👏 *2024-03-20* Honestly, I didn’t truly believe that a mind focused app can help me lose weight but was intrigued by the ads and got it. And I'm surprised as I actually see results. Of course, I haven’t lost a lot of weight as I’ve been using it for a week only but I’ve already managed to skip almost all sweet snacks I usually have after lunch and dinner, and I know this significantly reduces the amount of calories I consume daily. Btw, you don’t have to calculate calories as the app relies on intuitive eating or mindful eating. I like the app so far and will see where it gets me. **Developer response:** We are thrilled to hear about your positive experience with Mindea! It's great to know that you're already noticing changes in your eating habits. Keep up the good work, and we hope the app continues to support you on your mindful eating journey. ### 5/5 — Great app ✌️ *2024-03-07* I hate diets because when I have any food limits and restrictions, all I can think about is the food I can’t have, and it drives me nuts. And Mindea way is very different. It doesn’t restrict or ban anything but rather helps me understand why I overeat and what to do with it. It somehow calms me down, comforts me and helps me stay focused on the bigger picture rather than make a big deal out of my occasional cheat meals or skipped workouts ### 5/5 — Please, don’t stop, it’s amazing 🥰 *2024-03-05* I’ve been using it for only a week but have already learned so much about myself and my automatic eating habits! ### 5/5 — Nice app, very zen and laid-back *2024-03-04* I love meditating and this is my favorite part of the app. the meditations kind of crafted for weight loss and help you feel better about myself while I work on my goals ### 5/5 — Thanks for this app ❤️ *2024-03-03* I've got this new habit of checking in with myself when the snack attack hits me (Mindea helps me ask the right questions). This helps me figure out if I'm truly hungry or just bored or stressed. ### 5/5 — The idea behind the app is awesome!!! *2024-03-02* App doesn’t offer crazy diets or exercise! Instead, you work on your habits and attitudes and learn to cope with your cravings, which is a huge problem for me. Love the gentle and caring approach, this really helps you eat less! ### 5/5 — Mindea really helps me not to overeat! *2024-03-02* I used to grab any food within my reach without realizing that I was not actually hungry–it was totally mindless action and I ate so much food this way! Now, most times, I catch myself midway and use the Help button in the app, to answer a couple of questions, and it helps me figure out whether my hunger is physical or emotional. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
