Open is real, it explains, it’s authentic. I feel like I’m learning about meditation, why we meditate, how meditation ties into our lives. The quality matches the price tag. I highly recommend it. ### 5/5 — so good *2026-07-11, version 26.27* the app is a good idea for people who want to learn more about how they can improve their own skills in their own lives. ### 5/5 — truly incredible app *2026-07-11, version 26.27* I am a firm believer in the law of energy exchange. and I believe that this app has helped recharge my body so much in the last few days it’s remarkable. thank you, Open. ### 4/5 — More Self-help than Meditation *2026-07-06, version 26.27* The promotion made it seem like it was a mindfulness meditation app, it’s more self-help, not what I was looking for. Very responsive customer service is a plus. ### 5/5 — Excellent, well rounded app! *2026-06-29, version 26.25* Look, you need this app. I have used meditation apps previously and this is by far the most well rounded and comprehensive program. It tailors to your specific needs, has something for everyone. Something else worth mentioning….I had a billing issue which I needed resolved asap. I emailed and followed the directions provided. It says to allow 1-2 days. It only took 1-2 HOUR and my situation was fully addressed. Customer service was extraordinarily helpful and so kind. 10/10. Could not recommend them and the app enough!! ### 5/5 — Best ever *2026-06-29, version 26.25* i’ve tried many meditation apps. This is the only one that has stuck for me. the breathwork meditation movement everything that you get access to is incredible. All the instructors are amazing. ux is on point. open makes meditation and mindfulness accessible ### 3/5 — Selfhelp, not Meditation *2026-06-28, version 26.25* The promotion made it seem like it was a mindfulness meditation app, it’s more self-help, not what I was looking for. ### 5/5 — goat of all apps *2026-06-27, version 26.25* best app i have on my phone highly recommend ### 2/5 — Payment Issues *2026-06-22, version 26.25* Be very careful. ### 5/5 — Truly Amazing *2026-06-16, version 26.23* I have meditated for a decade+ and have tried all the apps - this app has been my absolute favorite. The music they choose, and having the bilateral stimulation through headphones, combined with all their meditations and breath-work have truly been a game changer. Highly recommend giving this app a try! ### 4/5 — Love it my most used app, but search button needs to exist *2026-06-09, version 26.23* Honestly just download it. DO IT. Your life will change for the better you be a happier better person, your body will feel and look better (and that’s without doing any of the movement just breath and meditation.) Only thing, the search bar needs to come back up for looking for a practice instead of that AI thing. Not needed. Frankly it doesn’t ever give me what I need, it looking for something I don’t want some robot tk tell me what’s best for my mood. I can figure it out through classic search bar options instead and it’s much easier that way. ### 4/5 — Please just a one time payment *2026-06-09* In my opinion, you should just make it a one-time payment, even if it is expensive. But most people I know nowadays don't want to pay for a subscription. Obviously, it's hard to get a continual or reliable revenue source, but I suggest there should be at least an option for people like me, so you could also get money from them. But other than that, I love the app and also the calm vibe of it. There should be more courses without soundscapes, because these weird sounds of music in the meditation apps nowadays are really frustrating and irritating. Maybe it's just me, and I just need to practice more at letting go of the trigger by the music. ### 5/5 — Best I’ve Used for Guided Meditation *2026-06-04, version 26.22* After practicing meditation and using multiple apps for over 10 years, Open is easily the best of them all. Whether you’re new to meditation practice, looking for breath work, or enjoy yoga, this is the app for you. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — SCAM *2026-07-24, version 26.30* They charged my account even though I had cancelled it. Literally no response and now I am fighting with my credit card company ### 1/5 — Criminals do not touch this app, please *2026-07-22, version 26.29* This has been a nightmare, dealing with these corrupt no good People. They will scream from the start by not allowing you to put it on your own card, but make you go through their website their company to process your payment. And then they set it up so you are not able to cancel. I had to cancel my Apple Card and order a new one because they refuse to cancel my seven day free trial. I sent eight emails to them. They responded to one since in your profile information a snapshot of it which I did and they would take care of it and they never responded to all the rest of the emails. Three hours of wasted time from these SOB stay away please their crooks. Don’t pay any attention to any other reviews. They probably wrote them to themselves! ### 1/5 — Have been hitting my card fraudulently for 6 months *2026-07-16, version 26.29* I deleted my free trial and app and had to contact my bank and report fraud ### 1/5 — Sneaky. Took 150 USD out of my bank without it showing under Apple subscriptions to cancel *2026-06-27, version 26.25* Not even that good ### 1/5 — Good Morning ☀️ *2026-06-23, version 26.25* This morning meditation was lovely ! ### 1/5 — TRASH APP *2026-06-04, version 26.22* Meditations are trash and they Truly they are THIEVES. After you experience the free trial and cancel IN TIME, they will literally steal your info and attempt to draw from your bank even AFTER BLOCKING THEM FOR FRAUD. You can’t be this Despicable and desperate for users that you have to STEAL to get ahead. ### 1/5 — Do NOT Download this app FRAUD ALERT!! *2026-06-02, version 26.22* This application will steal your virtual card information and try and steal $150 dollars in the middle of the night and keep trying until they are successful!! Don’t download this app!! FRAUD ALERT! ### 1/5 — Don’t sign up for the free trial *2026-06-01, version 26.22* If you forget to cancel the free trial it will charge you $150 which is absurd for an app like this ### 1/5 — Unauthorized Charges *2026-05-28, version 26.22* I only signed up for the trial of this app, and cancelled it after a few days. At the end of the period however, they still tried to charge my card $150. Beware of their free trial - it’s a shady practice. ### 1/5 — Took my money *2026-05-28, version 26.22* I signed up for the trial and canceled it, however I’m still charged the $20 for the month. But this purchase doesn’t even show I had a subscription or purchase within my apple account. I would like a refund ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Worth the purchase *2026-08-25, version 26.34* This is the best meditation app out there, hands down. Meditation, breath, sound, movement. I love it. ### 5/5 — Subscribed in 2022 *2026-08-21, version 26.34* I have spent over 3,000 minutes of my life in practice with this app. This app has become an integral component in my healing, the tools that Open provides are accessible and indispensable. The guided breathwork is unlike anything I’ve found elsewhere. There are yoga classes for every style your body might be craving. The meditations, the soundscapes.. everything is high quality. I love this app, having access to these modalities is worth the investment. ### 5/5 — Good for your soul. *2026-08-21, version 26.34* Very calming, very inviting, very loving. It kept me at peace. ### 5/5 — Love the purpose of this app *2026-08-19, version 26.33* I have been a member for 2 years or more and can’t say enough he good things. I love how if you commit and stay consistent it trains fro mind and therefore your life. ### 5/5 — Life Change *2026-08-19, version 26.33* This app helped me regulate my nervous system and build routine. Essentially it helped me change my life. It’s the most important part of my day and it’s made me excited to get up early and quiet my mind first thing. I also enjoy it in the sauna at night or before bed to calm down after a busy day and return to myself. An essential part of my day and life. ### 5/5 — Game changer. *2026-08-07, version 26.32.1* These meditations have been a game changer for re-wiring my brain to focus and attention to detail in my life. Way better than anything I’ve found on YouTube. ### 5/5 — Best for a disorganized brain *2026-08-03* I’ve tried 4 other meditation apps, and this one has been the absolute best for me and my extremely busy, disorganized brain. It’s the only one I’ve found that has a consistent format across different teachers, both in the meditation and the yoga/movement videos, which are all filmed in the same studio spaces. That familiarity helps me with consistency and therefore discipline to use the app almost daily. As a bonus, when you open the app, you get a daily meditation taking decision making away (especially great when I have decision fatigue). You can skip it and go into a meditation or program of your choice, but when I’m overwhelmed I can get a meditation out of the way just by hitting one button. That streamlined process can turn my whole day around, and I am frequently grateful for it. Highly recommend!!! ### 5/5 — Great for consistency with daily meditation *2026-07-29, version 26.30* Love this app. Makes me super consistent with making sure I prioritize my mind daily. ### 5/5 — jesus *2026-07-29, version 26.30* i love him ### 5/5 — Can’t Quite Live Without It *2026-07-26, version 26.30* I keep meaning to cancel Open.com because of the cost, and because I also have Calm (for less than half the price). But then I do a meditation with Manoj or Olivia, and I’m hooked again. They’re just so good. I love the variety of the daily meditations—breath work, mini sound baths, contemplations (not my faves, but nice in the mix). I rarely use the other amazing features (the movement, extended meditations, etc), but when I do, they’re great. So even though I don’t take advantage of all that the app offers, I just can’t get rid of it because they do such a wonderful job at helping to keep me sane! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
