Sam is an amazing supportive teacher who is there to guide you. I can honestly say that choosing Soma meditation and Sam as my teacher was one of the best decisions I could have made. It’s part of my everyday routine and has helped me in all aspects of my life. ### 5/5 — So helpful and informative *2026-01-27, version 14.00.11* Sam is very good at what he does, his calming clear and helpful voice is so helpful when he teaches all the different types of meditation, manifesting, wellbeing things we need to help us achieve, move forward, become more confident, relaxed or whatever it is we need at the time and use to help us on our journey. It is a pleasure to listen to him and follow his guidance in a soft but calm positive manner. I enjoy all his affirmations. He is always on hand to answer any questions you may have and help in a good quick time. Thank you Sam x ### 5/5 — Meditation *2026-01-25* I’ve been working directly with Sam and using the app independently for 7 months and love it. The content is meaningful and easy to navigate. The courses offered are well structured and easy to follow. I use the journaling feature and set my daily intention. It’s the first thing I reach for in the morning for my affirmations and meditation. Highly recommend Soma ### 5/5 — Wonderful course! *2026-01-19* Very helpful, clear and easy to follow! I will definitely be signing up for the next step! ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-12-14* Love it! ### 5/5 — Responsive developer and excellent app! *2025-10-12* I had been following Sam on Instagram, and decided to download the app and try the free courses. Loved them! So I signed up for a premium membership, but it didn't seem to work right on my end. After having uninstalled, reinstalled, logged out and logged back in, I was stuck in the free mode. I reached out to Sam, and within two minutes, he responded! This developer spent time today personally helping me be able to access the premium features that I had paid for! Unheard of! I am so excited to be able to use this app to its fullest; therefore, I really hope others will try this app and experience the benefits! Thank you, Sam!🌞 **Developer response:** I’m glad we could get this figured out for you. Always happy to help. 🙌😊 ### 5/5 — Askman *2025-09-10* Outstanding in every way!!! You’ll be amazed at what you will learn Total inspiration!!!! I believe you should sign up for a journey of complete rewriting of your brain !!! **Developer response:** Thank you so much for taking the time to reply and taking my courses on the app! 🙏🏼🙌 ### 5/5 — Life changing! *2025-08-11, version 3.13.09* I always thought meditation wasn’t for me but with Sam’s help I have learnt to meditate twice a day and it’s helping me to recover from a chronic illness and make life decisions that allow me to live the way I really want to. The app works really well with lots of timers for meditation, guided meditations for sleep, joy, etc, courses in affirmations, Pilates and yoga, plus so much more! It’s also a wonderful community to be part of, and even though there are opportunities to explore Vedic meditation further, there’s no pressure to do any more than you feel comfortable with. Sam is always on hand to answer questions, he’s a great teacher! ### 5/5 — Can’t recommend enough *2024-08-19, version 3.11.11* I’ve been meditating on and off for over 10 years and felt it quite pedestrian and honestly didn’t see many results. But this year has been very different. I have now just completed my first 90 day challenge of consistent daily practice of Vedic Mediation with the guidance of Soma Meditation. Firstly I’m so proud of the commitment (as I really struggle with this) due to chronic fatigue and often severe ADHD related restlessness and rumination. Secondly, to feel many of these symptoms and more are lessening and I’m able to become still with a quiet mind - within and outside of the practice - is incredible. I’m full of excitement from all the results I’m experiencing and will continue the practice in knowing that so many more will come. Thank you so much Sam! ### 5/5 — Life Changing! *2024-08-05, version 3.11.10* Despite being slightly sceptical of the process to begin with I can now say it’s been transformational. I never would have believed I would experience so many everyday benefits from meditating and am so happy I continued the process with the amazing assistance of Sam and Soma Meditation. I can’t recommend enough and thank you so much for everything you’ve done!! ### 5/5 — Total game changer *2024-08-04, version 3.11.10* Ive been very on the fence about meditation. I’ve started and stopped it multiple times. Just could never quite get into it enough for it to become a daily habit. Since using the app I’ve been on a streak of 128 days, which I still can’t quite believe. It’s curated selection is what makes this app work for me. Where I’ve got 5 mins before work, sat in the car, and need a guided grounding session, or 15 mins in silence to float off with a timer. It’s just so helpful to always have an option to choose from which suits a need and feeling. And at the end of a lonnnggg day, the 30 mins sleep sessions are just the one. I could not recommend this app enough. Whatever the level, what ever the need, it will be a total game changer to your life. Kx ### 5/5 — Fantastic app! *2024-08-04, version 3.11.10* SOMA really helped me to progress with my meditation practice - really easy to use and the community aspect is an amazing way connect with like-minded individuals! Couldn’t recommend more! ### 5/5 — No more anxiety *2024-08-03, version 3.11.10* Sam is a wonderfully wise soul whose teaching methods have totally sorted out the broken nights I was suffering from. No more anxiety - cannot recommend highly enough. ### 5/5 — Highly recommend *2024-08-03, version 3.11.10* This is what got me into meditation and it’s what keeps me into meditation. Sam’s incredible. ### 5/5 — Life changing! *2024-08-02, version 3.11.10* I always thought meditation wasn’t for me but with Sam’s help I have learnt to meditate twice a day and it’s helping me to recover from a chronic illness and make life decisions that allow me to live the way I really want to.

The app brings meditation into the 21st century with an intuitive interface and ease of use. I am thankful for it to be a part of my daily routine. **Developer response:** We're delighted SOMA has helped bring focus to your life and modernized your meditation practice.

I loaded the app for the free trial. I canceled it the same day! I didn’t like the types of meditations they had. Didn’t worry about it. Just saw that they tried to charge me 149.99. I know I cancelled the free trial. I went back into the app and it said it expired in 2027. I feel like they intentionally changed it back after I cancelled it. I will be turning this in as fraudulent if it goes through. **Developer response:** Hi, sorry for the frustration here. Quick fix first: request a refund directly from Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com. All billing for Soma runs through Apple, so they process refunds, not us. They’re usually quick with trial-related charges. On what happened: if you cancelled on day one, you’d keep trial access for the full 7 days but wouldn’t be charged. If a charge went through, the cancellation may not have completed in your Apple ID settings. You can check under Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions. We have no ability to reactivate a cancelled subscription on our end, so nothing was switched back on by us. If you hit any issues with the refund, email us and we’ll help however we can. Lots of things can be fixed by just reaching out to us direct, we are very accessible. ### 1/5 — Videos and mediation keep stopping *2025-11-17, version 14.00.04* Videos and meditations keep not loading. Checked all my settings, WiFi and 5G connections. It’s the videos that keep freezing which makes the app useless for instructions ### 2/5 — Eh *2026-06-09* Nothing i did not already know, understand and practice daily for decades and still do. **Developer response:** Thanks for giving it a go. Sounds like you’re already well established in your practice, which is genuinely great. The app is built mostly for people earlier on, the ones still trying to make it stick and quiet a busy mind for the first time. If there’s something you’d want to see for longer-term practitioners, tell me. I already have areas for my meditation students hidden away in there. I read every piece of feedback and I’m always building. ### 5/5 — Wow *2026-08-11* It is the best way to start and end my day! **Developer response:** Thank you, I’m glad you’re enjoying it ☺️ ### 5/5 — Positive Energy *2026-07-07* I’m absolutely loving the Soma app! It has become such a beautiful part of my daily routine. The affirmations are uplifting, inspiring, and a wonderful reminder to slow down, be present, and focus on the positive. I love how Sam helps shift my mindset, build confidence, and start my day with gratitude and encouragement. It feels like a little moment of positivity and self-care that I look forward to every day. **Developer response:** Thank you, this means a lot. Starting the day with gratitude sounds simple, but doing it consistently is the hard part, and you’re doing it. Glad the affirmations have earned a place in your routine. There’s more coming to the app soon, so keep an eye out. Sam ### 5/5 — Affirmations that really work *2026-06-22* What an uplifting way to introduce myself to the extraordinary power of using affirmations to get more of what I want out of life. The creator of this app gives away seven nurturing lessons as a way to test the waters before committing to an inexpensive monthly plan. Even if you never go on to the rest of his courses, you will grow from experiencing many potent affirmations and the neuroscience behind why they work when you repeat them regularly with emotion. **Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to write this. The free lessons are there for exactly the reason you describe: try it properly before you decide whether it’s for you. Glad you got something from them either way. Sam ### 5/5 — Grateful for Sam! *2026-06-08* I am so thankful for Sam-I am really enjoying this free Reset & starting to see demonstrations & I am truly thankful!!🙏 **Developer response:** Thank you, that’s good to hear. The Reset is only fourteen days but it’s designed to be enough to notice something shift. Keep going with it. Sam ### 5/5 — Wow *2026-06-06* It is the best way to start and end my day! ### 5/5 — Wow *2026-06-03* It is the best way to start and end my day! ### 5/5 — Perfect! *2026-05-20* It’s very practical app with a ton of powerful tools, lessons and materials.
