I’ve been subscribing for a while now and seen several incarnations, but this one is by far the best, it’s absolutely brilliant. There is so much choice, in fact there are sounds for every mood and although I use it mostly for relaxation, there are fabulous energising options too, I’m loving the 5min Rattle meditation to infuse me with energy to get up and out! I also love the creature-inspired soundbaths, they are multi-layered, intricate and absorbing, and just plain good fun! Can’t recommend it enough ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ### 5/5 — Beautiful App! *2020-08-21* I am currently having a small technical issue, (due to Apple, not the app) but the customer service for this app is phenomenal. 🥰 I find Leo’s voice very soothing and genuine and the audio is very high quality. The gongs and crystals are beautiful and I can’t wait to explore more. **Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback, we'll make sure to record more of Leo's voice! ### 5/5 — This app has improved my sleep *2020-08-18, version 2.0.4* I’ve been a fan of Leo Cosendai’s work for a few years now but its not always possible to go to his workshops and events. This app has meant i can listen to his gong sessions anywhere I am, as long as i have good speakers/headphones. I love that you have varying lengths of meditations. ### 5/5 — Takes Me Away *2020-08-06, version 2.0.4* I absolutely love this app. I feel like it takes me away to another place while I’m listening, and it’s super accessible and easy. ### 5/5 — Updated version is great *2020-08-05* I used to have a subscription that I paused for a while. I started it up again and I can’t believe how bad it is now. The moonlight ritual crashes every time I try to play it. The other two options give me the exact same meditation every time. There’s no options to pick your own meditation like there used to be. I should have listened to the negative reviews. UPDATE: the new and improved version is back to being a great app. Now you can choose which sound meditations you listen to again. I really love the different gong and sound bowl recordings. **Developer response:** Wonderful to hear, we're recording more sounds and releasing a brand new version very soon :D ### 5/5 — Best meditation app *2020-06-22, version 2.0.2* To experience a sound bath from the comfort of your own home doesn’t get any better then this!! Can’t recommend enough. ### 5/5 — A sound magician *2020-01-24, version 2.0.2* The gong has always been a vibration that deeply resonates with me, and I have searched high and low to find the right sound healer - and found Leo!! When my friend told me about Leo and took me to his gong meditation class, I knew then that I’d struck gold and found someone that can play the gong exactly how I wanted to hear it. Leo is the master of the gong, a sound magician and healer. He’s transports and heals your mind and body with the power of sound. People have been doing this for thousands of years, there’s a reason for it - it’s works! Everyone should unlock themselves and experience these tremendous gong baths and sounds available. It’s incredibly healing and such a natural high! Leo hits the note spot on every time. He has an inmate ability to transport you to another realm. How does this app help me: it initiates big stress relief, helps me focus, deeply relaxes me, clears debris and doubt from my mind - releasing physical and emotional tension from the body, which subsequently improves my rest. I use it on the way to work, at work and at home! It’s life enhancing to have all this available in an app at your fingertips, whenever you want, need or wish, and in the comfort of your own space - it’s simply amazing!! I don’t take it for granted and appreciate its existence as it has helped me incredibly. We live in a world with lots of noise, conflicting energies, fast pace of life and desire for success and fulfilling lives. You need to silence the mind at times to cope with all this pace. I can’t imagine my life without meditation, gong baths and sound healing.... thanks to Leo for creating this healing app that I can take everywhere with me!! 🌞🌻 ### 5/5 — Needs more content updates *2019-10-18, version 2.0.1* There’s been a big upgrade to the app with a slightly rocky start but have to say it’s a big improvement on what was there before and positive to see the team investing so much time and energy into the experience. ### 5/5 — 👍🏻 *2019-07-28* Beautiful app! **Developer response:** Thank you so much for letting us know you're enjoying it. We have a brand new version coming soon :) ### 5/5 — DNA is overrated *2019-04-19* I have been waiting for (what seems like) forever FOR THIS APP TO EXIST. I am completely BLOWN AWAY to say the very least about Third Ear (how awesome is that name?) I discovered Leos audiobook and am so GRATEFUL to have found this app with all the sounds from the audiobook suspended 😭😩 I LOVVVE singing bowls and gongs and chimes and have a big crystal bowl that was very expensive, BUT, it’s hard to fully relax when I am the one producing the sounds. Thanks to this app, I can get full sound benefits AND actually relax with a crystal and intention or whatever without the extra effort on my part. I also like to turn my phone on airplane mode when I’m doing my breathing stuff, because I don’t want all the stupid phone signals. With this app you can DOWNLOAD ANY SOUNDS😭😭😭 So you can listen on airplane mode, or out in the forest if you REALLLLY want to connect. The set up of the app is user friendly and so beautiful and calming. I love the colors and beautiful little accompanying artwork 🌹 Love the pathway days as well.. only on day 2😂 I have endometriosis and have been doing breath work and sound meditations and visualizations. Along with exercise and diet change, over the last year they have shrunk and I canceled my surgery that I’ve had scheduled to continue to self heal on my own. A lot of my healing, I attribute to these sounds!🌾🍂🍃🌱 The fact that you can take the sounds and make multiple playlists of different sounds for different things that you want to achieve during your listen almost brings me to tears. The fact that the app is only 3.99$ if you want full access DOES bring me to tears. ...seriously... Netflix and all the other crap that’s not even good for you is 14.99$ a month... ... get the app. Thank you Leo and team for not being TAKERS! Thank you Leo and team for making it possible for me to listen to the sounds you produce which you obviously know belong to everybody ❤️ **Developer response:** Wow, thank you so much!!! We are so pleased to hear you are making the most out of the app. Good news, a brand new version is coming soon :D Let us know how you like it. ### 5/5 — Great app! Love it love it love it! *2019-03-10, version 1.1.4* I have been using this app for more than one year and I love it. Leo’s sounds are amazing. ### 5/5 — Wonderful new way to meditate. *2018-12-10, version 1.1.4* I have attended lots of Leo’s (app founder) meditation workshops in London and am a great fan of his work and type of meditation. I have tried meditation many times before and found that using sounds through meditation helped me tremendously in a new way. I was really happy to discover the the app so I can meditate to Leo’s beautiful voice and sounds on the regular without having to leave my house! I also love the different selection of sounds available! ### 5/5 — I love this gong app *2018-09-06, version 1.1.4* I live far away from any Centres that offers gong meditation. This app has been a life saver whilst living abroad. I do regular 20 min meditation and listen it whilst on the go. I really like how the meditation can be adapted and there are many healing options. ### 5/5 — Love it *2018-05-25, version 1.1.4* Love the app. Really helps focus in my meditation practice. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Taking money unauthorised *2024-04-12, version 2.0.9* 2nd year in a row money taken. Have contacted the developer again, but am unable to cancel the subscription in teh app. I asked last year for the account to be cancelled when they refunded me, but obviously was not fully followed through. Very frustrating!! ### 1/5 — Account *2018-05-16, version 1.1.4* Have to make an account to use app. ### 2/5 — Disappointing *2022-08-17, version 2.0.9* Signed up for free 7 day trial so should have full access, monthly subscription fee of £6.99 was taken…emailed creator was assured apple take money after… Used app for two days, I actually love gong bathing and found them repetitive and short…couldn’t find anything near 30 minuets which would have been a nice length of time to relax and let the sound vibrations for their thing….so cancelled. Noticed after two weeks money had been taken, emailed again and was told this was down to apple to resolve…. Doesn’t really fit with the values of giving and honesty… Better sound and gong bathing on other sites…and for free! ### 2/5 — Vacuous nonsense for gullible imbeciles *2018-12-02, version 1.1.4* Relax! Find your inner mindfulness! By paying us lots of money via in-app purchases in order to actually do anything remotely useful with our tremendously low-quality aural japes. This app is really bad. Well, I say really bad. If you enjoy paying a premium price to listen to some sort of new-age twerp who's in love with his own "inner aura" babbling on about finding your gong space, knock yourself out. If, however, your mind is not so far open that your brains have fallen out, you'll recognise a con job when you see it, and will run for the hills. Guess which camp I'm in. ### 3/5 — Not as good as it used to be *2020-09-03, version 2.0.4* I used to like that you could keep track of your sessions but there no longer seems to be an option for this. The points for sessions is also no longer a thing so you don’t get the opportunity to unlock extra meditations without paying for the premium version. I do still enjoy the meditations I can access though. ### 4/5 — Gorgeous *2020-08-01* One of the most well-done apps I have ever used. Pretty and pleasant and well-thought out. I just wish more options were available for free. **Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback! We have just released an update which you might find offers quite a bit of free content. If you create a free account, you'll unlock even more content. Best wishes ### 4/5 — 😕 Not keen on update - Sep 2019 *2019-09-28, version 2.0.1* “Ask the Oracle” is a nice addition BUT where’s the chanting ⁉️ I used the chanting section on the old version regularly 😥 It was also easier to navigate and choose meditations, chanting, sound bath options on older version. UPDATE ✨ Thanks for response. I am a subscriber and still use the app regularly. It’s growing on me so I’ve increased rating from 2* to 4* 🙂 Although “Moon Ritual” doesn’t work and I am unable to use my 1466 Lotus credits 😢 ### 4/5 — Great little app *2018-05-09, version 1.1.4* Beautifully designed, great app to use for accessible meditation ### 5/5 — This is exactly what I was looking for. *2022-12-13, version 2.0.9* I love the audio experience, especially when wearing headphones. I also love the visuals, it resonates with me. I find I can really dive deep when meditating. The premium features are definitely worth paying for. Price is also very reasonable. Please keep it up and well done! ### 5/5 — Best meditation/Sleeping App *2022-08-24* I love this app and use it almost every night! I’ve gone through many many meditation app that have Tibetan singing bowls and none of them compare to this app! ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Loved it so much... *2021-10-07* I canceled it and re-bought it so I could write this review. I accidentallyBought it last time attached to an old email, so I couldn’t review it nor could I get the update. So I canceled and re-ordered. This is the most wonderful app. The sounds I use for my meditation practice, or yoga, and to call my cats down. I like that there are different times, different modes, and instrumentation.I feel very safe in the light yet deep atmosphere of these aural spaces. ### 5/5 — Incredible App *2021-06-07, version 2.0.8* I’ve used Third Ear off and on for the past three or so years and have loved it ever since I first downloaded it. The meditations have no trouble bringing me into peaceful moments of relaxation and sometimes even sleep. I love the theme of this app. Highly recommend it! ### 5/5 — Just what I was looking for! *2021-05-08, version 2.0.8* Best meditation app out there 👍 ### 5/5 — Head clearing *2021-02-23, version 2.0.7* I find the sounds on this app by far the best for clearing my head, I feel so refreshed afterwards! Remarkable. The sessions are a good length so whenever I need a clearing blast I can always fit one in. There’s a good range of different sounds, for different moods. The gongs and crystal bowls in particular hit the spot for me and the animal meditations use a mix of instruments which are really interesting and different. It’s really helping me keep my anxiety under control. Thank you Third Ear! ### 5/5 — Wonderful *2021-02-02* I love meditating with this app daily. It’s the only option out there for gong and sound meditation specifically that I’m aware of. There are great options for any time of day or vibe that are both very short or very long. I love having it be all sound-based as I love attending sound meditations when possible IRL, so to be able to do it during the pandemic is a lifesaver. Recommend! **Developer response:** Thank you for leaving such a nice review, it means a lot to us. ### 5/5 — Brilliant App *2021-01-17, version 2.0.7* Third Ear elevates sound - often overlooked as 1 of the 5 senses - as a powerful healing tool. I listen to Third Ear every morning. It helps me create the right frame of mind to embrace calmness, positive headspace and deep breathing so I can start my day. During lock down, Third Ear has even mentally transported me back to my travels memories. Thanks Third Ear. ### 5/5 — My best investment of lockdown *2020-12-15, version 2.0.7* Oh my goodness me! Times have been tough. Very, very tough. ‘How do you cope?’ My friends all ask me. Well, that’s simple. I don’t have the option not to cope and thankfully I have Third Ear. My heartfelt gratitude goes to Steve Robertson for introducing me to the healing power of music and the work of Gary Zukav. A terrific app and clearly avant-garde: Many imitations will follow no doubt. Thank you to Amy, Leo and the team at Third Ear. ### 5/5 — Essential! *2020-12-04, version 2.0.7* Such an accessible way to get into a meditative state. Really beautifully designed too :) I use it every morning when I wake up and it’s the best way to start my day. Thank you Leo & the team behind this app! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
