Brilliant meditation but very limited function

The app provides very meaningful meditation and guided meditation. I am learning about Buddhist practice and philosophy and how it aligns with my own being. The app is extremely limited and in my opinion not worth the cost, but because I am connected to myself I am happy to pay for the stories and guided meditation. I don’t think I’d buy again unless the feature significantly improve

Nothing free on this app

It says online that you can access some stories for free but I was asked to pay from the outset. I deleted the app immediately. Don’t advertise something that’s not true. Surely that goes against Buddhist teachings

Scam

I subscribed for one month. The next week they charged my credit card for a year. I had to cancel my card to prevent future charges. The app has a British voice read stories. They are not cartoons like in the ad.
