Bad first impression
I downloaded this app based on a recommendation and searched for anxiety meditation. Within the first 60 seconds the host brought up the “upcoming 2024 American election”. Never uninstalled an app so fast.
Wonderful
I’ve only been using this for two weeks and already it’s been so helpful to me. It has several shorter, introductory meditations for beginners, but a whole bunch of longer, 30-minute meditations, which is what I personally have been looking for.
And it’s all free— no premium subscriptions, no ads, no account to create, no Terms & Conditions to sign. Thank you so much for this!

New update not working correctly!
I’m having trouble with the new update, I click on the star and I can’t get favorites it only downloads it and I have no idea where it’s downloading to? Screen is not allowing me to move forward backwards unless I go to my home screen on my phone… Is anybody working with this app to see these problems? The meditations are fabulous, and I love all the features and availability to access all of them, but something is not the same as it used to be, please fix. Thank you!

Response from developer
Hello. Thanks for sending us feedback on the latest updates. When you tap the star button, it marks that meditation as a favorite and downloads it for offline playback. To exit this meditation playback screen, you tap the close button on the upper left corner. You’ll find Your Favorites in the new Listen tab. In Your Favorites screen, you’ll also see Your Downloads section. Please reach out to us using the new Report feature if you need further assistance. Thanks again!
Wonderful and Free!
Absolutely love this app. It helped me get into meditation - diana winston is also such a lovely, compassionate teacher. All of the content on here is free too! Great a la carte assortment of guided meditations you can pick from. Inspired me to take some UCLA mindful classes too. Highly recommend!
Superb public service
I’m so glad to see a public organization providing a near-top-of-the-line service without a silly yearly subscription. No paywall. Easy access to this wonderful knowledge base.
Can’t Even Start
I get error messages under each heading when I open the Get Started function. I guess UCLA is not what it once was.
Half of the “Getting Started” videos don’t play
Only 2 out of the 4 “Getting Started” videos work. If I can’t get started, then I’m not going to bother with the rest of it.
A shame too because I really wanted to try this because it’s from UCLA Health, which I have a lot of respect for.

Great content but…
The loop repeat did not replay when the screen is locked or unlocked. Thanks!
Free and so useful
This app is free! There’s no need to pay for Calm. This app has guided meditation and offers multiple languages. Download it, then use it for a few minutes when you feel overwhelmed. It helps!
Thank You UCLA Mindful!
I was prescribed daily guided meditations for my reoccurrence of treatment resistant depression - I do all the Health & Wellness guided meditations twice daily and has been a big help to me - I use them in conjunction with meds and daily walking routine. Thank you for making this free🙏
Saved Me
I started listening to UCLA’s Mindful app in Winter of 2017. I had just endured the longest, hardest year of my life. Grief. Guilt. Diana’s voice soothed me into heart and a peaceful mindset. Again, grief has hit us. We’ve lost six family members in two years. The most recent, my husbands’ mom, our son’s closest family member outside us. Sprinkle in selling and buying an expensive home, and I am back to panic. Of course I stopped meditating a few years ago. I’m back and will practice twice daily in hopes of lowering my crippling anxiety. I’ll couple this with CBT and socializing to encourage balance. Thank you so much for being here, being free, and sharing your calming gift with us!

Diana Winston is so comforting
I wish I’d known about this app sooner. Diana Winston has such a calm and balanced presence. I like having just one teacher or just a few people to rely on and hear each day. Some other meditation apps have way too many different people doing meditations. I prefer this style. Easy to navigate, simple to use and reliable.

Talks too much
The presenter talks way too much during the mediations. Very unnecessary and disturbing. Please correct. Thank you.
Great content but…
The loop repeat did not repeat when the screen is locked. I really hope the looping function works when the phone screen is locked. Thanks!
All you need
No bells and whistles. Actually, one bell at the beginning an one at the end of session. The more easily recognized commercial apps are so bloated with pointless variants and celebrity voices and mind trinkets that it completely defeats the purpose. This has absolutely everything you need to develop a meditation routine and what you need is very little. Enough practice and even the app itself become superfluous.

Great meditation app
This app and the MARC instructors are great. They fixed the lock screen audio issue quickly too.
Love this app. Meditations are great.
Update: this bug was fixed and addressed immediately. Thanks! The new update causes the audio to stop on iPhone every time the screen lock comes on. It never used to do this before the latest update. It has made it unusable.
Version 1.6 issues on iPhone
This is my daily app choice for meditation. The guided meditations are EXCEPTIONAL. Sadly the latest update (1.6) will only play on my iphone while the phone is awake now. This means I have to turn off my auto sleep setting to be able to meditate each morning. An unnecessary decision imho.
Bug with update (not playing when screen off) otherwise 5 stars
This app is great! I use it most nights to help me sleep, however a recent update caused the meditations to stop playing when the screen turns off and does not play in the background. Please fix!
App no longer plays in iPhone Lock Screen
Love this app but a bug in the update has made it nonfunctional on iPhone
