### 1/5 — Sounds do not play through Bluetooth headset.

*2023-05-23*

Seems like a good idea I could not use this as sounds will not play through headset.

**Developer response:** This has been fixed! Thanks for the heads up :)

### 1/5 — Requires registration with email account

*2023-05-23*

Requires creating an account to use. Immediately uninstalled

### 4/5 — 🐢⏱️

*2023-07-03*

Very fun way to meditate but there is a timing bug. 🐜 When the screen is locked time moves much slower. I’ve tested with a stop watch. I started a 5 minute session and locked the screen. After 12 minutes I unlocked my screen and there was 0:55 seconds left on the timer.

Otherwise super cute and fun way to keep a meditation streak

**Developer response:** Thanks for letting us know! The timing bug has been fixed :)

### 5/5 — Cool meditation app

*2025-01-10*

So cool that it’s free, keep it up buddy! Thank you for making it

### 5/5 — I like new meditation types & specifically box breathing.

*2024-12-22*

I don’t like Instagram publishing ask again and again thats just annoying.

Breathwork should be counted as meditatoin too.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you like the breathwork - I'll keep adding new breathwork options in the future :)

Sorry if you're finding the option to share to your instagram story annoying, the intention behind it is to encourage people to share with their friends and incentivize them to want to meditate too. :) I'll see if I can make it a little less prominent.

### 5/5 — Fantastic meditation timer

*2024-12-10, version 4.6.4*

Gamified meditation without having to listen to guided meditation. The free version has access to everything I need. Wish there was a "buy it once" option to support the developers without subscription.

### 5/5 — Cool introduction to meditation!

*2024-01-30, version 4.0.1*

Shellevate is an app I recommend to all my friends and family, and anyone who has wanted to step away from the constant noise of life but doesn’t know where to start. The app makes meditation into a fun game where you can build your daily streak, interact with friends, and grow your collection of turtles!

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2024-01-26*

I’ve had trouble trying to meditate before, but  Shellevate has made me stop dreading it and start looking forward to it, I believe I will be able to turn meditation into a habit in no time!

### 5/5 — gentle meditation

*2023-02-12*

A gentle introduction to meditation.

### 5/5 — An addictive way to get you meditating

*2022-09-20, version 2.0.0*

I’ve always wanted to meditate consistently but would always find myself forgetting one day and then not continuing . I used to use insight timer to keep streaks for meditating but once I lost my streak I would not be able to regain it , which was really de-incentivizing for me.

The fact that this app provides streak freezes and the incentive that you can hatch and collect cute turtles is really encouraging to me — the UI is so pretty and I am really grateful for this app ! It is so unique and exactly what I need :-)
