### 3/5 — Awwww man ;(

*2026-04-20, version 1.4.58*

I love this app! But you can't record more than 6 meditations. If you do, older ones will no longer be available in your studio. If you start deleting some meditations, previously recorded meditations will reappear in your studio. I wish I knew this ahead of time. I was re-recording meditations that disappeared, then others would disappear. The developer does not respond to feedback. At all. This COULD be an amazing app.

### 4/5 — Excellent little app especially for beginners

*2025-08-01, version 1.4.58*

I’m giving this a 4 because it is so great for beginners and because it is so lovely to be able to sit at home phone in hand to record a meditation. As a beginner though, I ran into issues with my voice volume within the app, which does not occur with or without a mic in other apps or when talking on the phone or using voice memos on my phone, etc. I really wish there was an ability to raise the volume of my voice recording within this app. I managed to find a way around it using other programs (which are confusing and way above my expertise level) to edit my voice, as well as fade the music out at the end, etc.. I do wish we had the ability within the Mindist app to fade out the music at the end, or add an extra 15-20 seconds of music with fade that out.  Mindist is also nice for those who want to  record your voice and save it without music, so that you can then add your voice MP3, into a different program where you can use your own royalty free music for the background. 
All in all lovely little app. Дякую.

### 3/5 — Lenta y toda se traba

*2025-01-03, version 1.4.58*

Esperaba agilidad así fuera una app sencilla

### 3/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-12-18, version 1.4.58*

I’ve tried recording on this app but can never get past the uploading screen. It’s a waste of time.

### 3/5 — It’s good but limiting

*2024-08-25, version 1.4.58*

I recorded two meditations and unfortunately the music doesn’t go until the end of the meditation. The music stopped after about 20 min. 

Also, it would be very useful to be able to pause the recording on the free flow option as well just in case we get interrupted. I had to restart again 3 times because the dog started to bark and there is no option to edit that.

### 5/5 — Blown away!

*2024-06-26, version 1.4.58*

Love this app, especially the built in editing that auto removes sounds. 
I live on the main route for the emergency services which causes issues all the time recording content and thought I was going to have to hire a studio to record but this app has solved that issue.

### 3/5 — Save your recording as draft doesn’t work

*2024-05-18, version 1.4.58*

I appreciate this app because it’s easy to use and free however I spent 2 hours recording my meditation and chose to save my recording as a draft to come back to it but it didn’t save. Be mindful of this. You have to download the file and go through steps to name the recording to be able to go back into it to edit. Never choose to save recoding as draft as this feature doesn’t work sadly. Learn from me

### 4/5 — Recording list

*2024-05-09, version 1.4.58*

You can only preview the last 5 recordings. I have to save the links on a separate note to access them.

### 5/5 — Создаю медитации😍

*2024-04-14, version 1.4.58*

Очень кайфую когда создаю аффирмации и медитации которые мне нужны именно в этом моменте! Приложение супер! Благодарю🥰

### 4/5 — Uploads are iffy

*2024-04-07, version 1.4.58*

Sometimes it will upload your recording- sometimes yours stuck in an infinite upload twirl that says “May take a few minutes” but never ends… 🫤

### 5/5 — Oh my goodness!

*2024-03-26, version 1.4.58*

This is the coolest app!!  It is EXACTLY what I was looking for!  And it is so easy to use!!  I am in total shock that this is free!  Kudos to whomever designed and built this very app!  It’s seriously like you read my mind!!  Thank you!  Genius!

### 5/5 — Great quality audio

*2024-01-09, version 1.4.58*

I love how it blurs out background nice! It’s so great you should try it!

### 5/5 — Life Changing

*2023-12-29, version 1.4.58*

This is the best meditation app there is. I don’t know of any other meditation app that makes it as simple to create your own studio level meditations. This app has changed my life and simplified my daily habits. Big shoutout to whoever created this app!! 

Everyone in the world that meditates is missing out if they don’t use this app.

### 1/5 — Musik Feature geht nicht

*2025-06-15, version 1.4.58*

… und damit sinnlos 🙂

### 1/5 — Peccato perché poteva essere bella davvero

*2024-11-14, version 1.4.58*

L’applicazione si presenta molto facile e intuitiva. Registra anche bene. Il problema che ho riscontrato è che la musica scelta dalla loro libreria dura al massimo 10 minuti quindi se registri per 20 minuti negli ultimi 10 resta solo la voce. Ho provato a contattare l’assistenza per chiedere se ero io a sbagliare qualcosa o se non era possibile a prescindere  portare la base musicale più avanti per fare registrazioni più lunghe ma non ho ricevuto risposta. Peccato perché mi piaceva

### 1/5 — Horrible doesn’t work

*2024-10-14, version 1.4.58*

It won’t work you can push anything and the music drowns out your voice

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-02-26, version 1.4.58*

The app doesn’t allow you to edit the audio and freeze when you try to go back to the previous page. It is a nice concept but it needs a lot of improvements.

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your $

*2023-11-28, version 1.4.58*

Not usable. You can’t edit the recorded audio. Very limited background music to choose from.

### 1/5 — Where’s the customer service?

*2023-11-08, version 1.4.58*

The link to  the meditations I’ve created appears to not be working. I’ve reached out twice to get help and no one has responded for several days now. I was initially excited about this app but it actually isn’t working for me and I’ll likely have to cancel it and go back to the drawing board. So disappointing.

### 1/5 — Приложение не открывает медитацию

*2022-11-01, version 1.4.58*

Приложение записали медитацию но не спермогони раза. Потом оказалось , что открыть медитацию могут только те , у кого установлено это приложение.

### 2/5 — Buggy

*2026-03-29, version 1.4.58*

I love this app but lately every time I spend lots of time and effort recording a thoughtful meditation the audio won’t save or the screen will go fully white and there’s no way to save my work without forcing quit out of the app. This is super unfortunate and I’d love to see these issues resolved. New additions to the background audio options would be amazing too

### 2/5 — Can’t save keeps crashing

*2025-01-04, version 1.4.58*

Can’t use it

### 2/5 — Please update your app

*2024-01-21, version 1.4.58*

This would have been a great app but many times when I try to save an edited audio file with background music, the background music doesn’t get added into the audio file. I have to do it multiple times, exit the app, delete the app, download the app, and do it again multiple times before it actually saves it with the background music. It’s so time consuming and frustrating. This never happened before. I think it just needs to be updated… please update your app.

### 5/5 — Simple Meditation Creation

*2025-12-09, version 1.4.58*

Very happy to find this app! Way better than using the basic voice record app!

### 5/5 — Bearbeitung im Nachhinein fehlt mir

*2025-10-06, version 1.4.58*

Super einfache App, jedoch kann man den Text nicht bearbeiten nachdem die Meditation hochgeladen wurde. Sehr unpraktisch und sehr schade, da die App eine schöne Oberfläche hat…

### 5/5 — So simple and genius at the same time!

*2025-10-02, version 1.4.58*

I absolutely looove it! I use it to create my own manifestation meditations. Thank you for so useful product 😍

### 5/5 — Crear meditaciones

*2025-06-13, version 1.4.58*

Es maravillosa tiene todo lo q necesitas, aun que parece básica es más que suficiente, me encanta

### 5/5 — Great, simple and easy

*2025-05-10, version 1.4.58*

Thank you so much for making this app so simple and allowing me to make meditations. This is great, simple and easy!

### 5/5 — User Friendly, Great Quality

*2025-02-09, version 1.4.58*

For those of us that struggle to get the hang of all the different options to create digital content- Mindist takes the headache out! I was so grateful to find an app that actually delivered on doing what it claimed it would do, without any sneaky fine print! Thanks for a great product.

### 5/5 — Love to see updates and happy to pay

*2024-11-15, version 1.4.58*

Such a useful app, but I’d love to see a paid version with updates 🪷

### 5/5 — AMAZING!!

*2024-09-16, version 1.4.58*

It’s basic but in the best way, if you are looking for somewhere to easily record meditations for clients, yourself, workshops, guided rituals or whatever it is this app is genuinely amazing and dose exactly what it says on the tin. I’m so happy to have found it. This isn’t sponsored I don’t know the creators i literally got this on a whim and it’s elevated my business over night!!!!!

### 5/5 — Genius App for Creators

*2024-08-17, version 1.4.58*

This app makes creating your own meditations so easy! The app is intuitive and simple and functions exactly the way it’s supposed to! I use it all the time. 

Thank you for this amazing app!

### 5/5 — Good form of practice

*2024-07-07, version 1.4.58*

Very handy app and easy to use for getting down specific practices such as the practices you find in dharma books such as Rick Hanson’s NeuroDharma. I like it!
