The sessions that are on there are fantastic. My only issue is that I’ve been awaiting the full app for some time, on the promise that it was coming soon. This does not/should not take anything away from this app though. Good work Reuben. ### 5/5 — Brilliant! *2020-02-27, version 2.5.8* It’s even better than Rueben says. It’s quite a simple but extremely effective way of mental hygiene. ### 5/5 — Want to change your life or the world? Start right here with THIS app 👏🏼 *2019-03-19, version 2.5.6* Every time I open this app it brings PEACE to my mayhem. Reuben’s teaching & this app is my “go-to” aid in recovery from drug addiction for 22 years. Mindful Creation has gifted me life changing & transformative tools to “sit-with - accept & observe” my addiction urges & cravings rather than acting out out impulsively. This app is content rich, updated regularly & genuinely made with love & respect for humanity. It’s a powerful invitation to explore oneself & be the difference you want to see in the world. Reuben thank you for your contribution to my life. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2018-11-20, version 2.5.6* This app works for me so well. I’ve been using the 2011 meditations for a long time now. The new mediations didn’t work for me so I’m happy the older ones are available too. I find Reuben’s voice calm and easy to follow and the meditations have the right balance of instructions and silence to practice. I use the techniques throughout the day when I find myself anxious and distracted. Thank you ### 5/5 — Great Intro to Meditation *2018-01-03, version 2.5.1* I've downloaded several meditation apps and this is definitely one of the best. ### 5/5 — Good starting point *2017-08-07, version 2.5.1* Found this a lovely way of getting into mindfulness. Easy to use, allowing me begin to feel the benefits. ### 5/5 — Great! *2017-06-13, version 2.5.1* So far, it has genuinely impacted me for the better. It's easy to use and has given me a great structured starting point on my mindful journey. ### 5/5 — I think it's good *2017-05-09, version 2.5.1* I mean who doesn't want mindfulness before a test or something, it's not great but it's the best ### 5/5 — Great explanation *2017-04-07, version 2.5.1* I really liked the 'knowledge' section. You have explained mindfulness in a way I can understand and explain to others. ### 5/5 — Get this app *2016-12-03, version 2.5.1* Plain and simple you need this app. It's a game changer ✌🏼️ ### 5/5 — Self help *2016-12-02, version 2.5.1* Having read many self help books over the years, this has been of immense help from reading just the first couple of chapters.. it speaks my language, and is a must have. Thank you xx ### 5/5 — Comprehensive, yet very user friendly *2016-11-23, version 2.5.1* Just getting started, but after day 1, it already seems more comprehensive, and yet easier to use than some others! ### 5/5 — Get this, *2016-10-26, version 2.5.1* A great app, can't say enough how good it is. Bought headphones on holiday & thought what can I listen too to relax. So glad I found it. Even on a sunbed, I can't keep still to read. I put this on & wow I totally zoned out, this was a morning meditation. ### 5/5 — Bite sized writing on mindfulness *2016-10-10, version 2.5.1* Much thanks! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bad *2020-01-31, version 2.5.8* It would be great if you didn’t have to pay ### 1/5 — Awful *2017-12-21, version 2.5.1* This is not relaxing at all , such long pauses between sentences it startled me and made me jump when they start speaking. I ended up turning it off and deleting the app. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work after update *2016-04-18, version 2.5* Was intrigued to see it had upated. But after a few minutes my iPhone goes into screensaver and the meditation pauses. I have to come out of meditation to tap the screen alive again. 😒 ### 3/5 — Good but not perfect *2016-12-01, version 2.5.1* This is well structured, and easy to navigate. It embraces the main components of mindfulness meditation, though some activities, for example, the Body-Scan, are superficial. I did not like the directions to additional "paid-for" options, because these are not listed in the app description, where there is no mention of "paid-for" versions. Personally, i prefer Mindfulness by Prof Mark Williams, which is more extensive and has clinical credibility. ### 4/5 — Love the app! Miss the old audios *2018-07-18, version 2.5.5* Hi Reuben! I love your app and I’ve been using it for a while now in a daily basis. It is super helpful! I love the new audios although I was wondering if you could also leave the old ones (particularly the long versions of mindfulness of the breath and the body). I also really liked the bells as a way of starting and ending each meditation. Thanks! ### 4/5 — A great introduction to mindfulness *2016-12-07, version 2.5.1* I'm new to mindfulness and found this app easy to use. It can be done in as little as 9 minutes if you're short of time. Would also recommend downloading the full version ### 4/5 — Focused *2016-09-16, version 2.5.1* Helps me a great deal with being able to focus and assess ### 4/5 — Great app *2015-07-20, version 2.0* This is a really lovely app. I have been using this personally and professionally and have found it very beneficial. The Facebook page has some great stuff on it too :) ### 4/5 — Insightful *2015-01-27, version 1.0* Packed with helpful information. A wonderful resource. ### 5/5 — Fantastic App! *2025-04-02, version 5.0.6* My friend recommended this app a couple of years ago and it is my go to place when I meditate. Great selection of meditations (timing wise) and love the affirmations. ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Wonderful app *2024-09-23, version 5.0.6* Ruben’s voice is perfect for bringing you into this moment and he encourages you to come on the odyssey with him ### 5/5 — Amazingly Helpful *2022-08-12, version 5.0.5* The thing that stands out about this app is the amount of great information that you can learn about ACT, Mindfulness and in Observing your thoughts instead of seeing from them. If you don’t mind poking around and aren’t afraid of a little reading, you will definitely be richly rewarded with greater mental AND emotional freedom which you can access everyday! You don’t have to be Stuck anymore because Being Stuck is just a thought and a feeling and not the real you who can choose something better for your Life! ### 5/5 — And now it’s free *2021-12-23, version 5.0.4* You can’t ask for more than this. Unlike other apps that have a team behind them, this is just one person. Great job :) ### 5/5 — Excellent App *2021-09-30, version 5.0.4* So many choices within the App. From 77 seconds and beyond. There is always enough time in my day to tune in. I now find before breakfast works best for me. Well done Reuben ### 5/5 — Life Saver! 💕 *2021-05-19, version 5.0.4* I am a Mental Health Advocate/ Mental Health Patient and this app has helped me greatly during my mental health crisis last March 2021. I was admitted to the hospital because I was acutely ill mentally but the methods I learned from this app helped me cope (Aware, Allow, Anchor). It is simple, attainable in terms of time (you can meditate in as short as 77 seconds) & FREE! Try it for yourself and be part of the change! 💚 ### 5/5 — Unique and brilliant *2021-03-24, version 5.0.4* I’m so thankful to find a meditation and mindfulness app that isn’t just following pop culture. This app is what they are supposed to be. I love that some sessions are as short as 77 seconds. Brilliant and unique approach. ### 5/5 — Great New App *2021-03-15, version 5.0.4* This app is great! Everything is easy to find and to navigate from section to section. Reuben is the best. He guides you through meditation with his calm voice and his courses are always explained in great detail. Highly recommend Reuben and the App! ### 5/5 — Brilliant App *2021-03-11, version 5.0.4* This app is versatile in that it caterers for just about everyone i.e Teens, couples, individuals etc. I like the quotes that pops up when you open the app and the simplicity of how to navigate around the app. The creator has taken time and their passion in creating something that works for everyone. The videos are great, really aid supporting users of the app. I couldn’t see any spelling errors but I’m new to app. That being said, should there be any errors, it shows that we are all humans on the road to fulfilling our own progress. So many good in this app. I feel this a fantastic app and deserves a 5 stars. K ### 5/5 — More people need this app *2020-12-08, version 5.0.2* As a teen I’m dealing with a lot is stress and anxiety, I love this app and it’s not-for-profit nature like many other apps I’ve looked into --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
