I absolutely miss having the chance to flip through pages, then recycle. ### 1/5 — App is useless and not supported *2023-08-25* Mindful magazine is no longer publishing as a magazine as of April 2023. As a consequence this app is no longer being updated. There is no reason to download or use this app any longer and it should be removed. ### 1/5 — The app is useless *2023-06-23* All meditation link sign on take you to the webpage. This app is useless. ### 1/5 — Buggy app! *2023-05-08* Zero luck with super buggy new account login. ### 1/5 — Subscribed but cant login *2023-03-26* Don’t know why…..always says that my password/ID was wrong, but it works on the website… ### 1/5 — App login does not work *2022-02-13, version 19.1* I have attempted multiple times to login through the app. My email and password ARE correct. I get through the first step, continue to get the “You’ve successfully subscribed to the digital mag message,” the app then requires me to login again and will not proceed any further. I’ve delete the cache multiple times. Now I’m just deleting the app. ### 1/5 — This app is awful *2017-12-05, version 1.0.13* Please do not pay for anything on this app! This is a great magazine but this app does not work! I also has no luck getting any help with it! ### 1/5 — Mindful Stressed Me Out *2015-04-30, version 1.0.9* After getting a number of recommendations for this magazine and looking at the hard copy version in the store, it was a no brainier for me to purchase a 1 year subscription for my iPad. I enjoyed my free 30 day trial. Before I knew it, I received an email that I had a new edition waiting for me. I eagerly grabbed my iPad and sat down to read it when I saw....nothing or at least no new edition. Ahhhh, I need to sign in. Nope, every possible username and password combination I ever used turned up the message "user could not be authenticated". So, I tried to retrieve my username and password. The message there was they didn't have a user with that email address. Huh? You sent me an email thanking me for purchasing a subscription and another telling me the next issue was ready. I followed all of their suggestions without success so I emailed support. I was told they couldn't do anything and I had to contact Apple. It's obvious at this point that there is a problem with the app and I knew Apple couldn't help but I called anyway. Surprise! The app isn't working and Apple can't help. Apple was nice enough to give me my money back plus a couple of movie rentals. On the other hand Mindful just stressed me out and didn't take responsibility. Kinda counterintuitive considering their main focus. They've lost me completely and not only will I not be purchasing their iPad edition but I also will not be purchasing Mindful in any of its forms ever again. ### 3/5 — Controlling app *2021-11-21, version 19.1* I can find what I am looking for AND I am constantly interrupted by ads for their programs or programs of contributors to the magazine. ### 4/5 — Mindful versus mindless *2019-06-08, version 14.0* It is such a pleasure to read each article and comments as well as appreciate the sound advice. It is very encouraging to feel the compassion that is expressed. So much different from the experience of reading the daily news. ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 12-minute mediation *2021-12-08, version 19.1* This makes it so easy to begin this important habit of brain strengthening! Just do it ### 5/5 — Love the magazine! Love the app even more! So frat *2021-09-13, version 19.1* So grateful for this fantastic magazine and positive and powerful Life affirming messages we all need! ### 5/5 — Mindfulness *2019-08-16, version 17.0* I really enjoy your magazine. I never throw away an issue, as there are always articles I need to read again. I’m going thru a patch of troubles and they just keep coming. That’s the problem, they just keep coming. Serious Sickness, water leak, etc... I’ll be reading your articles all day... Thank you for your magazine. J ### 5/5 — Better than the magazine ! *2019-07-17, version 16.0* I discovered the magazine and then got the app after a couple editions I love being able to seamlessly flip between articles and there’s also content from previous years which is great. ### 5/5 — Improved app!..now working fine in IOS devices! *2019-05-04, version 13.0* Now you can read the magazine on iPhone without any problem...good job guys!! 😁👍 ### 5/5 — Mindful is a BREATH of fresh air! *2019-03-17, version 12.6* This magazine is my sandy beach, by Beatles White Album, my morning coffee, and a great big hug - all rolled into one! ### 5/5 — Love mindful magazine *2018-11-20, version 12.5* Best publication in meditation space.
