### 3/5 — False advertising

*2026-07-25, version 4.13.0*

I downloaded this from a Facebook as that claimed the app could re-create a psychedelic experience with a combination of 963 hrz and binaural beats. It also said that it would use your current emotional state to develop the perfect meditation for you. I was curious so I paid for one week. It has neither of the things I mentioned it advertized. It just has a library of meditations you can choose from like any other meditation app, but much more limited for a much higher price. I am glad I only paid for one week and I will stick to my other meditation apps unless I figure out how to access what was advertised. I have searched the app pretty thoroughly though, and don't think those actually exist in it.

### 1/5 — Lied

*2026-07-13, version 4.13.0*

When I signed up I immediately went to cancel. The cancel button does not work and says to contact customer service. I did and they said they would cancel my subscription. And guess what? They didn’t. I immediately contacted them again as soon as I saw it on my card. “They are looking into it.”
  BTW: I didn’t like their product.

### 1/5 — User beware

*2026-07-12, version 4.13.0*

Although I liked the app, I decided to cancel, my subscription when I retired from working to cut costs.  I have gotten numerous emails stating they have tried to process payments that did not go through. I have written multiple emails to the company stating I cancelled requesting they stop attempting to process payments and to stop contacting me.  The emails and attempts have yet to stop, and I have not received any responses to my emails to them.

### 1/5 — Poor Customer Service Bad Business Practices

*2026-07-11, version 4.13.0*

Do not get this app I signed up for the one week for $6.99 and then they charge me $38.98 on top of the $6.99 and the $38.98 then when I tried to log into the app, it would not let me log into the app. It kept giving me a email with a login validation code and then I couldn’t log into the app when I tried to reach out to customer service. It took almost 9 hours just to get a they couldn’t help me and that they couldn’t find a subscription in my name when I proved that I had a receipt they charge me and then customer service went silent, so I’m having to dispute it with my bank. This is poor business and I do not recommend this to anybody. It’s sad because this could be a good product but the customer service and business practices is absolutely unacceptable. I do not recommend this to anybody stay away from this app. They just want your money and they will charge you unfairly and then not solve the Problem

### 2/5 — Not very impressed

*2026-07-07, version 4.13.0*

I’ve been studying mindfulness and meditation for 10 years and this app hasn’t really taught me anything new. I honestly don’t understand all of the five star reviews. I also paid $40 extra for two mini courses; one was supposed to be a “meditation course” so I could brush up and get different perspectives, but so far the entire thing has consisted of sessions that are already in the app, so basically they stole my money. The binaural beats are pretty much sounds that you can find on YouTube. Also, the lucid dreaming course contains nothing that I haven’t already learned and no new insights whatsoever. If you’re already familiar with any of this stuff, do not waste your money.

### 1/5 — Fraud

*2026-07-05, version 4.13.0*

This app charged me $79.99 USD without consent and it’s difficult to have any support to talk to

### 1/5 — charges—-!!

*2026-07-05, version 4.13.0*

I’m trying to reach your customer service regarding several charges on my account. I just downloaded your app, and unfortunately, I’ve been charged multiple times with different amounts. I did not expect these charges. I would like to request a full refund for all of these charges and cancel my subscription immediately! Its kinda scam!

### 1/5 — Your Ai Guru

*2026-07-04, version 4.13.0*

I only got through the first few introduction recordings. Felt repulsed. Pretty sure this app is just a curation of Ai slop

### 2/5 — Beware of the double charges

*2026-07-04, version 4.13.0*

Meditations and music nice.. could not find the sounds they advertise by on IG.. same sounds that got me into buying this app. After charging me 39.99$ they charged another 9$/week to keep the app!?! Requested a refund. Wish i would have red the reviews before purchasing.

### 2/5 — Trying to take extra money!

*2026-07-02, version 4.13.0*

Not very happy when companies act in a scammy way. I fell for the £8.99 for one week payment yet they tried to take almost £40 on top. I work in digital marketing  and don’t like when companies act this way. For this reason I chose to cancel and work with an honest company instead. They have let themselves down. If you provide a good service you do not need to do this to people.

### 4/5 — It’s a scam. Don’t take risk.

*2026-06-27, version 4.13.0*

Please provide me the refund. Your app is not working and also overcharged

### 1/5 — Don’t buy this scam

*2026-06-27, version 4.13.0*

They charged me 3 times, had to cancel
My credit card

### 1/5 — Over-billing on day one

*2026-06-25, version 4.13.0*

This app tried to over-bill me TWICE the same day I registered for a $19.99 trial. First for $40 then it tried again for $80!! Luckily I set limits when buying online on case things like this are a scam.

### 1/5 — Feels like AI garbage

*2026-06-22, version 4.13.0*

Don’t bother. This app is a rip off. No free trial. As I assume not many people would join. All you have to do is look at the creator profile.. some IT dude having fun in Bali selling spiritual garbage. This app is very telling of someone who has not done the work. There is no personalisation or humanness to this app. It’s just music that sounds like AI. Scam.

### 1/5 — Não baixem e nem comprem debitam da conta sem autorização , debitaram 700$ da minha conta

*2026-06-21*

### 1/5 — Money Required

*2026-06-11, version 4.13.0*

Cannot access app without payment. Just like everything else, it’s about the green and not your health.

### 1/5 — Sign up for a trial, log into your app, multiple multiple charges occurring right after.

*2026-08-26, version 4.13.0*

Saw the ad on Instagram decided to give it a whirl for the 12 week trial. You log into the app and hit continue and automatically you are signed up for additional subscriptions to which I was charged multiple times in a row ranging anywhere from $40-$80 back to back. Very scam like and incredibly frustrating.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-08-14, version 4.13.0*

It is a scam. They charged my card multiple times with out my permission. Took out $150 !

### 1/5 — Can’t seem to stop this subscription. 2 payments came out on same day

*2026-08-13, version 4.13.0*

I can’t stop this subscription from taking money from my account. Please advise what I 
should do 🤬🤬

### 1/5 — Warning Trust pilot says this app gone against guidelines

*2026-08-10, version 4.13.0*

I’m concerned that the amount of negative 87% 1 star reviews on trust pilot and so many feedback with issues with billing that why have you not addressed these people who have made sincere complaints? Feels hard to trust if trust pilot says “ warning this app has fake reviews “ .look up on trust pilot and see for yourself before purchasing. I believe this app has good offerings but not on app $ charges and billing and lack of support. I hope it gets better as has Greta potential

### 1/5 — Nothing free

*2026-08-02, version 4.13.0*

Couldn’t even look at nothing til u pay first half hour it’s nothing like want don’t like to listen people talking when trying get better sleep need more relaxing themes Tibet bowls frequency type had pay just figure out I don’t like it

### 1/5 — Predatory pricing

*2026-08-01, version 4.13.0*

If your family member subscribing to this app is not careful, they run a risk or subscribing at $18 / week. This app is exploiting people letting their guards down when subscribing.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-08-01, version 4.13.0*

WARNING: Excessive charges attempted!

### 1/5 — Total scam

*2026-07-27, version 4.13.0*

Billed me 3 times and still have no access to app.  Stay away.

### 1/5 — Was charged when I don’t have a subscription

*2026-07-16, version 4.13.0*

I do not use this app and when I first downloaded it I didn’t feel aligned with the meditations so I only used it for one day. Many months later, I get charged $50 when I don’t even have the app downloaded and it’s not in my subscriptions. Very shady. Tried to contact customer service and the AI bot said if may take several hours for someone to respond to my chat.

### 1/5 — Not what it says

*2026-07-13, version 4.13.0*

Not interested in listening to a non relaxing monotone voice drone on. Had to purchase jsut to try and absolutely worthless!
