Varied and simple settings..to bliss!And I believe there (ThankFully!) are no in-app purchases…. ### 5/5 — Best ever *2022-03-28, version 7.5* Tried lots of apps and this is the best ever ### 5/5 — It really works makes a huge difference in my life *2022-03-21, version 7.5* I recommend to all it really works really comes me down and that’s the job ### 5/5 — Incredible nap companio *2022-02-11, version 7.5* I bought this app years ago. It has never failed to give me a relxaxing and recharging nap. ### 5/5 — A sweet descent into peaceful sleep *2022-02-05, version 7.5* The tone and cadence of the narrator’s voice is soothing, and the gentle suggestions lull me into deep rest and finally sleep. This is my go to app on nights when my mind is too full of chatter to follow a more complicated meditation like Yoga Nidra. I have other guided meditations from the same developer, and they are all affordable and effective. ### 5/5 — Simple, free and it works. *2022-01-05, version 7.5* It’s the only app with a soothing narrator’s voice that I love, and meditations are relaxing and specific to individual needs. No bells and whistles or cleverness, just a simple way to ease stress and anxiety and move beyond the turmoil of your days. Sandy in Cali ### 4/5 — Music *2021-12-17, version 7.5* Do not like the changes made to the music or format. ### 5/5 — The best relaxation app imho - using for many years *2021-10-22, version 7.5* This is by far the best relaxation / meditation app, and believe me, I’ve tried loads I use this app everyday- it helps me get to sleep if I need to, it reduces moderate pain and so I take less strong painkillers, it helps me to rest and then feel more energised ### 5/5 — Thank you *2021-10-19, version 7.5* I use this meditation so much and when it disappeared I was very upset. Thanks for giving it back. I’ll be exploring the other meditations and buying the ones I like. ### 5/5 — My best friend for years *2021-08-14, version 7.5* I have used this app for 7 years and frankly it has always put me to sleep all over the country. I use to travel different time zones and needed something consistent to help me relax. This app has never failed. So now that I am retired I still use it mid day to relax and let go. Better than Calm or any other I have tried. ### 5/5 — Short or long breathing breaks *2021-08-03, version 7.5* I love that I can pop in and do 5 minutes when needed or do a longer one when I have time. ### 5/5 — Wonderfull *2021-07-10, version 7.5* Have used app for years ..... Wonderfull! ### 5/5 — The best meditation to regulate emotions and thoughts. *2021-07-10, version 7.5* I use this meditation every night. It is soothing and helps me with my post traumatic stress. ### 5/5 — Great for sleep *2021-06-09, version 7.5* This is my go-to app when I need to take a time-out from stress. I also use it almost every night when falling asleep. The simple interface is great too. Love it! So helpful. ### 5/5 — My go-to sleep app *2021-05-23, version 7.5* I have used this for years and am grateful for its relaxing body-scan meditation. ### 5/5 — Great *2021-05-17, version 7.5* Easy to use and gets the job done. Not intimidating at all. ### 5/5 — Profound Meditation Sage *2021-05-04, version 7.5* The woman leading these meditations is so insightful, tranquil and accepting (non-judgemental). Regardless of my state at the outset, or my journey, i am more centered and serene at the end. ### 5/5 — Excellent and no subscription! *2021-04-20, version 7.5* Do yourself a big favor and get this app. Simple like it says, meditation should be simple without a subscription. ### 5/5 — Great App *2021-04-12, version 7.5* I use it every time I am stressed out and need grounding. I’ve been using it for years. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Me no like *2022-04-30, version 7.5* I do not like the new music that is accompanied by the voice. I wish there was a rain sound but the sound that I’m hearing gives me a lot of anxiety. it’s very stressful so it might be a personal thing but I do not enjoy the new sounds are not soothing. ### 1/5 — App closing *2020-03-16, version 7.4* The app is good when it is working but lately it closes when trying to select other tracks. I followed instructions to delete and reinstall and it worked again. But when I tried to use the app later I had the same trouble with it closing. I tried to email support but the email bounced back. Needs an update to fix issue on iOS. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2019-07-07, version 7.4* It didn’t help me relax at all ### 1/5 — Weird voice and really fake nature sounds *2013-10-19, version 6.0* Too manufactured, strange, etc for my liking... ### 1/5 — Don't buy! *2013-07-11, version 6.0* Didn't work in the slightest. In fact felt a lot more tense after I realised I'd paid for some to say relax your body for 10 mins. Do not buy this. ### 1/5 — AWFUL! *2012-01-19, version 5.0* Worst app on my phone - deleted immediately. Shaky, thin, inexperienced voice. And the guided voice is only for a few minutes at the beginning of the tracks, leaving you for the rest of the 'meditation' to lie silently, by yourself. I didn't need to spend 0.69 to have a quiet lie down. Complete waste of time/money/thought/effort. DISGRACEFUL. ### 1/5 — Not relaxing at all *2011-03-12, version 4.2* Very poor meditation if one can call it like that! A very annoying and trembling voice, doesn't help you at all to relax. Repeating over and over again the same words with a sense of ordering you more than helping you to relax. At the end you can't bare to listen to her! ### 2/5 — Mixed *2011-11-16, version 5.0* Good idea needs a different voice ### 2/5 — The audio stopped working properly *2010-11-20, version 0* This app is one of my favorites. I have used it for a while now but the audio doesn't work. If you go to the developer's website for help, they give you moronic answers like "make sure you press the PLAY button" or "check that the volume button is not all the way to the left" instead of actually getting to fix the problem!!! These people must think we are idiots!!! ### 3/5 — More options needed *2016-08-01, version 7.4* I use this app regularly over the past yr or two..and it works for a while but seriously time for an update different voice different meditation different background music.. Something ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best no fuss meditation app *2026-06-04, version 7.5* Have used this for years every night now my daughter also used it from about 5 now 15 and we all good to best with it love how you can set the music time for after instant sleep never hear the end ### 5/5 — Helps to fall asleep peacefully when you depressed *2024-07-03, version 7.5* This app has helped me so much when I’m feeling depressed or going through a rough patch. It hasn’t helped me once but Twice! And I can confidently say this app played at least 10% of a part in helping me make it through the two times I needed it most. ### 5/5 — Best Relaxation *2023-11-11, version 7.5* Have used this for years. Not too much blah, blah like others I have paid a lot of money for. ### 5/5 — Absolutely the best *2023-04-02, version 7.5* I love that you can adjust the volume of the voice and the music, and the amount of time the music plays in the end. Also this is the most soothing and calming voice I have ever encountered in a relaxation/meditation product. Everything done by Meditation Oasis is a winner. ### 5/5 — As good as any other! *2023-02-23, version 7.5* I pretty much stick with a few that I enjoy! ### 5/5 — Coke ovens *2023-01-20, version 7.5* Enjoy it greatly I have used it for years and it is my go to for calmness ### 5/5 — Travel buddy *2022-10-22, version 7.5* The only way I can travel by air. ### 5/5 — Gently Powerful *2022-09-04, version 7.5* Many of my group of 15 seniors after leading their exercising session nodded off to sleep when inadvertently I played the 10 minute deep rest instead of 5 minute breath. Great vocal delivery. Excellent also to have control of the background music and effects. ### 5/5 — Great but buggy *2022-06-28, version 7.5* Love this app, have been using for yrs to help go to sleep - but last upgrade is buggy - it will suddenly stop playing or just the voice plays with no music. Have to delete app & re-download to fix for awhile, but keeps happening. Hope they fix this. Still very worth using. ### 5/5 — Simple and effective *2022-04-04, version 7.5* Definitely my favourite of several apps downloaded. At first the accent made me giggle but now it’s my go to. Using the same app to help sleep works for me, a sonic comfort blanket Simple and effective --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
