The meditation often just goes silent, which is annoying and sort of denotes the point of meditation because you have to pause/unpause it multiple times or restart it before it continues which makes me anti-relaxed at times. Couple years ago there was no such bug. Maybe that just happens to iPhone 13 pro, but still. Annoying 2. I have an exploration level 4, but I wish I could go back to 1 because I liked it more. Now there are lots of sounds of pipes and waters on level 4, but at level 1 you would get coolest cinematic sound effects which I would like to go back to. Still the app is great because it's so unique, I wish at least pt. 1 was fixed and I would give it 5 stars (or even 6 if I could - that's how great it is). ### 4/5 — WINDOWS DESKTOP VERSION *2024-06-03, version 2.0.6* Love it this app so much, love the minimalism, love the simplicity just wish they had a desktop version🙏 ### 3/5 — Good But Still Needs Bug Fixes *2023-10-22, version 2.0.6* I am using this app in the paid membership. It is good and a nice company for my focus session. With the head tracking feature I am really enjoying it. However, the app crashes often, or sometimes I have to "force close and open" it to get it working without a problem. I once canceled my membership because of that but again I got back. Although the crashes and bugs are still annoying me. ### 3/5 — has this app been abandoned? *2023-04-17, version 2.0.6* i used to LOVE non. the variety of organic sounds would keep my mind gently focused on my meditations. the interface was beautiful and easy to understand (minus the “drag to adjust energy settings” aspect). i paid for a yearlong subscription and it was super reasonably priced and worth the investment. but i think maybe the developers have stopped updating this app? the past several months i’ve noticed the sounds - chimes, dings, rain sticks, cool natural sounds - have disappeared and every session is just one long low droning sound. it’s a huge bummer and really more of a distraction during meditation because all i can think about is how grating and frustrating the drone sound is. i’ve started just doing silent meditations with the chime sound but that doesn’t really seem worth it to just pay for a timer. i’m sad this app seems to be fallen by the wayside or maybe not maintained anymore? ### 3/5 — Не открывается *2022-09-05, version 2.0.6* На айфон 13про - только чёрный экран и не открывается приложение. Удаляла и загружала снова, перезагружала телефон. Придётся удалить окончательно. ### 4/5 — Very nice, but sound *2022-04-16, version 2.0.6* Very nice and comfortable app for meditation. Its simple and smart design is my fav 🥰 however it has not perfect sound because it has minor chords. The sound for meditation should be not only atmospheric but blissful. Thank you for your app. ### 4/5 — Helpful to meditation *2021-09-15, version 2.0.6* I have been enjoying using non for meditation as each time is different and I love the way the colours change. I have now reached expansion level 3 and having unlocked various sounds it’s getting much more busy sounding, even the beginning and ending bells are more fussy which is putting me off. I wish you could choose to stay at a simpler level, I might try unsubscribing and seeing if it resets to level 1 again. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2021-09-09, version 2.0.6* So far so good, yet it keeps repeating the tutorial at the beginng of every session. Nice app tho! ### 5/5 — Very meditative *2021-08-02, version 2.0.6* The most beautiful and useful meditative (and not only) app I’ve ever seen 🖤 ### 5/5 — 너무 좋습니다 *2021-06-27* 이 앱을 받고 명상을 하니 백텀블링을 할 수 있게될 정도로 몸이 좋아졌습니다. 몸 안 좋으신분들에게 추천합니다 **Developer response:** 🤍 ### 5/5 — Ingenuous concept, organic sounds *2021-06-15, version 2.0.5* While I’ve tried different meditation music, I always come back to this elegant app. The organic, minimalistic music directs me to fall back into myself easily. ### 5/5 — Better Than Any Medi. App I Imagined *2021-05-31, version 2.0.5* The design. The sounds. The touch controls. The month-long free trial. I will happily allow the subscription to renew and fork over a couple of dollars per month. It’s particularly good for one who has a pair of noise-canceling headphones and likes to take a float while in an environment with potential distractions like people, work, other noises, etc. Congratulations, this app is fantastic. ### 4/5 — Why? *2021-05-28, version 2.0.4* Why is every single one I do silent? And how can I change that setting? Otherwise, I love it! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2021-05-25, version 2.0.4* There should be an option that enables user to use app without location / connection to Internet. My location is usually off and the pop up to turn on location is suuuper laggy. I would have to turn off my phone, turn back on, and swipe up ASAP to close the app before the laggy pop up starts again. Totally understand the location feature and why it exists and how it makes the app better. But cool if it’s not a requirement either. Pretty awesome app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App abandoned? *2024-03-19, version 2.0.6* Looks like this app has been abandoned. I subscribed for two years and have contacted the developer and never received a response. The app doesn’t seem to gain features or anything else in active development. The price is high for something that doesn’t get updates or responses or anything. ### 1/5 — Do not purchase this app *2023-11-12, version 2.0.6* At one time I would’ve given this app 10 out of 10. I had such a variety of sounds like bells, water, etc. A huge array of unusual sounds. It was amazing and a delight! It was also expensive but worth it. Now it is just a dim shadow of the original app. (2 out of 10 but only because at least it has drones) All it does is drone and it’s missing all the other sounds it used to have! It’s obvious that the developer has stopped working on it quite a while ago. It’s a shame when a developer doesn’t update their apps, especially after you pay a hefty lifetime subscription fee. Shame on them! Do not buy this app until you see that it is recently updated!!! (Less than 6 months) ### 1/5 — Not working *2021-03-10, version 1.1.8300* I can launch the app, but no sound. Not sure if I need to press play somewhere? Maybe iOS 14 broke it. The last update was from 2 years ago ### 1/5 — Not accessible to blind people *2018-06-01, version 1.1.5722* Not accessible to blind people. ### 2/5 — Used to be good *2023-08-04, version 2.0.6* I loved using this app all the time when it was free and accessible, but now there’s a paywall and it cannot be used without paying. It just changed out of nowhere. ### 2/5 — Bad settings for auto renewal *2023-05-31, version 2.0.6* I can’t find a way to turn off the auto renewal in the settings for the yearly subscription. The minimal visuals are beautiful, but the minimal control I have over my credit card being charged is annoying and prevents me from enjoying the app. ### 2/5 — Its not working properly in ipad *2022-01-17, version 2.0.6* Sometimes the sounds dont appear and i have to close the app twice and try again also in the middle of the sesion the sound stop and its not the session is the app having a bug or something please fix it ### 2/5 — Es war einmal alles was ich für eine Meditation brauchte *2021-04-22, version 2.0.4* Ich war ein richtiger Fan dieser App. Sie schaffte es mit ihren abwechslungsreichen Klängen Meditationen zu unterstützen ohne sie zu stören. Durch die Auswahl der Intensität konnte gut gesteuert werden ob man eher eine entspannende oder eine anregende Session hatte. Leider kam durch das letzte Update ein mangelhaftes Abo- bzw. Kaufsystem hinzu, das die App unbrauchbar macht. 4 € im Monat sind frech, verglichen mit Spotify und Apple Music im Studententarif ist das einfach zu wenig und wird auch niemals genug Umfang haben um den Preis zu rechtfertigen. Einmalig 4 Euro wären noch ok, die geforderten einmaligen 100 Euro zum Kauf sind dann aber nur noch ein Witz. Von dem Geld muss sich so mancher Student einen Monat ernähren. Hier fehlt jegliche Relation. Fazit: klare Empfehlung diese App nicht zu laden. Den einen Stern gab es nur für das einfach Handling und gelungene Design. ### 2/5 — I love the concept but.. *2020-03-27, version 1.1.8300* I have an iPhone 6 and I can’t really concentrate with it making my phone have these weird crackle noises ### 2/5 — Eats Up Battery Charge *2019-02-08, version 1.1.8300* I noticed my battery time going down a lot lately and checked usage. This app used 43% of my battery in background mode. I’ve only opened this app once in these last several weeks and was very surprised by this usage. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 잉?? *2026-01-21* 이거 어케 해요?아니 생긴거랑 다 이쁘거덩여??근데 오늘 엄마 몰래 깔아서 어떻게 하는지 잘 모르겠네요 그리구요 튜토리얼?이 넘 길어요 오늘도 화이팅 하세요!! ### 5/5 — Спасибо *2025-04-19, version 2.0.6* Это самое лучшее, самое прекрасное, спасибо вам за это ### 5/5 — An excellent tool for meditation *2024-07-14, version 2.0.6* I am so grateful to have found this app. It is the best tool for meditation out there that I've encountered. I love the diverse palette of sounds, the option to choose the peak intensity of each session, and the uniqueness of each session, not to mention the beautiful design and ease of use. Thank you so much, Non, for sharing access to this useful and beautiful tool! ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2024-04-18, version 2.0.6* Almost cried. This is beautiful ### 5/5 — Meaningful, every second *2023-10-20, version 2.0.6* Still the best sound app for everyone who is looking for not yet another pre produced linear sound app. NON delivers unbeatable, unrepeated deep state sounds in an always surprising manner to be weaved into an integral routine - which comes from within. The ease of use is art, constant care and stability over iOS updates and development of new features like the sensational 3D traction are worth every Euro if you see and experience NON as a treatment. I am just grateful for having this piece in my life. 🫶🏻 ### 5/5 — Minimalist with beautiful visuals *2023-08-20, version 2.0.6* Is really straightforward and intuitive, so you can literally meditate anywhere and anytime. ### 5/5 — Genuinely a new way to meditate *2023-01-02, version 2.0.6* Absolutely love it! ### 5/5 — Прекрасно и слишком дорого *2022-07-30, version 2.0.6* Это прекрасное приложение. И я бы даже купила пожизненно его. Но не за 8000 рублей… очень дорого. ### 5/5 — Center into your SELF *2022-05-25, version 2.0.6* Where to start?… i suppose the beginning will suffice. i was recommended this app by a friend. I was in a very different part of my life then. i was definitely more depressed, despairing, destructive and generally downtrodden by life always looking through a more nihilistic lens. This app didn’t help with every aspect of my life directly without me doing the growing up and taking on more personal responsibility for my own life. However, non has been a constant companion through every season of my life. non has been my center and where i can return after venturing beyond my limit. It only takes a minute of your time if that’s all you have to spare. In depths of despair it acts almost like stairs, lifting one up doubly as one exerts effort. In closing I’d like to say, “Thank you, non! I’ve befriended you for life. ### 5/5 — Love the app UI and simplicity *2022-03-30, version 2.0.6* This app is amazing if you want to just get lost in a new sonic landscape every time you have moments of mindfulness. I used it to mediate and before bed while I do my night routine. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
