Recently however every time I want to do a 10 minute meditation I seem to have to spend about 5 minutes logging in to be able do it. I can’t log in with my email and password anymore as now I also have to verify my email with a code (which means waiting and having to go through junk mails to find the code). And not just once - every time I want to listen to a meditation!! This is not relaxing at all. It’s maddening - I understand that my bank needs to have this level of security, but this is an IVF meditation app. I find myself getting so frustrated at how long it takes to log in that it’s not worth it. It’s a shame as this used to be so helpful and I used to listen every day during my IVF cycle. ### 5/5 — Worth every penny *2023-11-27, version 4.0.1* IVF is HARD work. This app is an absolute god send.. it kept me sane throughout the process, helped me feel in control, calm and connected mind and body to be in the best place for a successful pregnancy. I am so blessed to have my son now. I am due to transfer my final frozen embryo soon and happily paid to access the app again as I couldn’t be without it. Thank you for bringing us such an important app. ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2023-07-26, version 4.0.1* I just had my first embryo transfer. I don’t usually leave app reviews but I have found this app so helpful over the past few weeks. It really has allowed me to stay calm, relaxed and positive ### 5/5 — So relaxing *2023-06-01, version 4.0.1* This is the best guided meditation that I actually feel relaxed with after. Great voice and pace, interesting too! ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2023-05-15, version 4.0.1* Love this app it helped me so much, decompartmentalise the days and I still use it now after our positive test. Thank you so much for helping me through it x ### 5/5 — Really helpful app *2023-05-13, version 4.0.1* I recommend this app to all my acupuncture clients going through IVF it helps them alot ### 3/5 — Jess5&$4 *2023-03-11, version 4.0.1* UPDATE: Really unfortunate you have decided to go to the subscription model. Also I can’t even access ones I paid for without signing up for a subscription. ### 5/5 — Changed my life. *2023-01-28, version 4.0.1* Truly this app changed my life. As i went through my IVF process this app helped to keep me grounded and connected to my body. I honestly credit our successfully cycle largely to this app. It helped me prepare my mind and speak life and healing over my entire process. ### 5/5 — Highly Recommend *2022-09-10, version 3.2* I highly recommend this app and that the guided meditations be part of your IVF journey. I’ve found them incredibly helpful and insightful throughout all stages of the process, but especially when we’ve had failed transfers. ### 5/5 — Wonderful app! *2022-08-31, version 3.2* I would recommend this app for anyone going through IVF! Very well priced too! ### 5/5 — Wonderful App *2022-08-17, version 3.2* Cannot recommend this app highly enough for anyone going through fertility treatment. Love the sleep section! Will there be any more new meditations released onto this app in future? Thank you so much for making this 🙏 ### 5/5 — Very very helpful highly recommend *2022-06-20, version 3.2* I used this app in 2019 when I quit caffeine, lowered my anxiety meds to the lowest and I was about to start an ivf cycle. It helped calming my mind and body, we were successful on our 1st transfer… our Jayden is now 2 years and a month old and I keep suggesting this app to everyone. Will use it again when we’ll decide to transfer one of our embabies. Thank you so much for creating this! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — So expensive *2023-07-01, version 4.0.1* You can’t access anything without paying. It’s really annoying. And it’s so pricey! I wish there were free apps for this. We are already spending so much on IVF ### 1/5 — Not 5 star any more *2023-02-16, version 4.0.1* I purchased the app last year and it helped me so much. I've then gone to use the app recently for my second IVF and now they are wanting money for the ones I already paid for and the downloads , if not I would of given it 5* The app was 5stars until now. Should not be re-charging. Gutted..... ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2023-02-03, version 4.0.1* Previously paid to access parts of this app. Went to use a sleep meditation the week after a negative result so really needing something to help and found there’s a new subscription pricing for most parts. Would have been good to have some warning via the App that this change was occurring for people mid treatment. While I’ve found them very helpful, I’m not sure I or many people going through IVF self funding can afford this sort of pricing. There’s actually quite a limited number of options eg sleep ones are quite short and aren’t that many, and once you’ve done them a few times… when you think how much Spotify costs per month and the vast number of music tracks you can access for that cost. Will be having to seriously consider whether can afford/keep using the App which is a pity. ### 1/5 — WAY TOO EXPENSIVE *2023-01-30, version 4.0.1* Use this for two retrievals, and two frozen transfers, which resulted in negatives. I am transferring again soon and went to go open this app only to find out that everything costs more money now, and it is not cheap whatsoever. I know that apps require money to keep going, but I think the price given the cost of IVF overall mentally and financially is very offensive. I also know that I have paid for certain meditations to be unlocked and they appear to be locked again as well like I need to go in and pay for them again. Loved these programs but I’m very unhappy with the switch of cost. ### 1/5 — How can you do this? *2023-01-13, version 4.0.1* I had paid for this app and was using it daily to get through my IVF. All of a sudden there is a new pricing model and I’m locked out even though id previously paid. I shall be perusing trading standards on this and will write to Apple as surely you can’t charge for an app and then change the pricing structure. ### 1/5 — Not able to login to app *2022-10-23, version 3.2* The website works just fine, but I’m not able to log into the app on my phone. ### 1/5 — Weird *2022-08-24, version 3.2* I find it creepy that a man is voicing these meditations about such an intimate procedure as IVF, yuk ### 1/5 — Very misleading *2022-07-11, version 3.2* There are barely any free meditations here. I feel this app takes advantage of already very stressed out women. I bought two meditation modules and when I opened them they barely had any content. The app does not let you see inside a module unless you pay. Im very disappointed. ### 1/5 — Charges *2021-01-30, version 3.2* I can’t believe that after paying for this app you need to pay for the two week wait which is the most difficult part of IVF . It’s not clear this is the case up front ### 1/5 — Faulty App *2021-01-16, version 3.2* Cannot get past sign in or sign up stage as says email already used when I’ve tried 3 different email addresses but then when clicking forgot password nothing comes through to email either (because I’ve never registered before!) Not even been able to see if app is good or not! Am I able to get help with this? It’s turning out more stressful than mindful 😩 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Highly recommend! *2025-09-13, version 7.0.10* I’m in the 2 week wait of the IVF process and starting my day with Mindful IVF has made me feel so much more at ease and honestly just less alone in this process. I tend to have an anxious mind so I come to the app throughout the day whenever I need it. Having someone validate the wild feelings that come with this process and then guide me through relaxing and focusing on the beautiful parts of the journey has been such a game changer. I’m so grateful I found this tool! ### 5/5 — Incredible tool during IVF journey *2025-05-14, version 7.0.9* I can't recommend this App enough. I've never left a review on any app, but I feel I need to promote this. Just before my third embryo transfer 2 years ago I discovered this programme and it really helped me before and after, as well as through the 2WW. I had felt unbelievably stressed during the first two transfers, and during my third I was so calm. The content is absolutely great, it covers everything and doesn't get repetitive. You really feel understood. I was lucky enough to have a BFP the third time. I am using this app again now before we transfer the final embryo. ### 5/5 — Such a precious app *2025-04-18, version 7.0.9* This app is just incredible. It has been my daily guide during my latest round of IVF and is holding my hand during my current TWW, which has previously been really difficult to navigate in a calm way. It’s still challenging but the space that Gordon’s gentle guidance offers has allowed me enjoy the beauty of life as I wait… (un)patiently hoping for a positive outcome 🥰 ### 5/5 — So helpful! *2025-03-13, version 7.0.8* Excellent app that supports you throughout all the stages of IVF, pregnancy or even miscarriage. Some of the doctor’s statement are still in my mind. He helped me put words on my emotions that were so high then. ### 5/5 — 100% recommend *2025-02-05, version 7.0.8* Loving this app which I discovered on my third round. Writing this after my transfer and I’m feeling so good about it. I didn’t know it was possible to feel supported by an app, but feel like whatever the outcome I can get through it. Gordon’s voice is very calming and has given me some tangible skills to keep calm and enjoy my cycle. ### 5/5 — Exactly what I was looking for *2025-02-05, version 7.0.8* I am a very anxious person, so going through IVF was no small feat. This app offers mediation for every step of the way, down to the day of your cycle, and somehow always knows what I need to hear at each specific point. When I actually became pregnant, the pregnancy meditations by week always aligned with my mental struggles at each time. I can’t recommend enough! ### 5/5 — Huge help during IVF! *2025-01-14, version 7.0.7* This app was such a fantastic companion during the IVF process. It made a huge difference in my mental state! Highly recommend. ### 5/5 — Got me through so much *2024-11-27, version 7.0.7* This seems like a an app that you would use a little bit and then forget about but it has been the best thing I invested in (apart from the actual IVF) through the whole ‘journey’ and I’m still using it at 28 weeks. Gordon has gotten me through so so much. I can’t recommend highly enough ### 5/5 — Incredible tool *2024-03-31, version 7.0.2* This app helped me so much with my first IVF cycle, and I attribute the success of this cycle to the calm mental state I was able to cultivate thanks to the tools I gained. I cannot recommend this enough for anyone embarking on an IVF cycle, mental resilience through this process is everything and I can’t think of a better way to develop these skills! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2023-12-24, version 4.0.1* This really helped with the process. I tell everyone about it!!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
