Review
Calming and mindful and the same time. The tone is great. And I have applied the meditations in my life.
Brilliant app
Excellent content and very well executed application to support meditation at any level.
Amazing Company
I don’t usually make reviews, but I absolutely felt that the support that my daughter and I got when we needed to sort out an issue with the subscription was exceptional. Karl from the support team got back to us immediately everytime .
He was kind sympathetic, understanding 100% patient. Nothing was too much trouble. His approach exemplified the ethics of this company.. I haven’t even mentioned yet how brilliant the app itself is! it’s so well planned and set out if you’re new to meditation it’s an absolute gift. I’m a long time meditator and I can’t believe how good it is. Don’t hesitate to sign up.

Course ends after 30 days
I subscribed to this app based on the introductory course that builds each lesson on the previous lessons. $150 for a year of what I thought was going to be lessons that would take me deeper into my meditation practice. 30 days later, after they have your money they cleverly change the format to a generic daily 10 minute meditation. There are free apps that offer the same thing.
They also claim they will refund your money if you email support. I did so on July 19. It’s now July 30 and they are still “processing” the refund, which I’ve come to expect will not be sent. I’ll update this if they do refund my remaining 11 months but would never recommend this deceptive app to anyone.

Sam is famously pro genocide
I canceled my subscription after learning that Sam is supports Israel’s genocide. This app also contains usage tracking software for no good reason. Look elsewhere.
Waking Up has improved my practice and life
Absolutely the best meditation app I have used. I enjoy the daily meditations and the different practice series which have allowed me to explore the different types of meditation. The theory courses are also highly informative. I love learning from Sam Harris and Joseph Goldstein in particular. Meditating has substantially improved my life and Waking Up has been the tool I’ve used to learn about meditation and implement a sustainable daily routine.

Know before you download
Look up Sam Harris and his beliefs before downloading. Especially if you care about Gaza.
Sam is a Wonderful Guide
I’ve been a fairly close admirer of Sam’s work since I was in college studying the humanities. This app has been extremely helpful getting back into the practice of meditation. Sam is a master of language and uses guiding principles that universalize the wide variety of experiences one may have in this practice. I’ve listened to more religious or more mystical guides, and ironically enough I find myself—or lack thereof—more mystified by Sam’s approach. Also a lot of really great clips and pieces of wisdom that can keep you occupied and thinking constructively for hours. Can’t express my gratitude enough for this app!

Best meditation app !
The best meditation app I’ve ever used. Waking Up goes far beyond meditation—it’s a masterclass in mindfulness, consciousness, and living with greater clarity. Highly recommended.
SCAM!!!!
I got the 7 day free trial and immediately cancelled my subscription through Apple subscriptions. However, after the 7 days went by I was unfairly charged 160 dollars for the yearly plan. When I try to open the app now it crashes and I am unable to figure out the problem.
Amazing
Absolutely amazing app. A treasure trove of content, you will not be disappointed!
Hold On
I’ve been surprised by how impactful this app has been. It’s not so much the thoughtfulness of the app itself, and it is thoughtfully designed, it’s more the content and guidance of Sam’s voice that I’ve come to trust in some sense. Nearly everything these days has an agenda for me. Sometimes it’s subtle, but it’s usually recognizable if I listen to the sensations in my body. For me, Sam is one of a few people I can sit under and allow his voice to guide me deeper. And deeper this rabbit hole seems to go. I can sense an unraveling in my mind that’s both scary and thrilling because it feels like real change. It feels like freedom.
Thanks Sam & team.

The Best!
This is the best site for meditators and for those interested in discussions about the Dharma.
I was only scratching the surface …
… of what it is to meditate and why until I gave this app a couple weeks of daily use. Harris is an expert teacher and his neutral, calm and steady demeanor makes it easy to keep going each day. I especially appreciate the recordings by other well known teachers of philosophy and spirituality. No where else have I come across such a catalog. I’m confident continuing my daily practice in the app will improve my life in many ways.

Simply wonderful, and grateful there is a way to use it for free. Beyond a simple meditation app.
So many incredible guided meditations, talks, conversations, life lessons etc. from so many smart and wise people. It’s all been just so useful and beneficial in all aspects of my life.

Thanks a lot
Best app to practice meditation. No distractions only valuable knowledge.
I am so glad I came to know about this app and tried it.

Sam Harris is creepy
I would not recommend this app, there are much better meditation apps available
This is the one
Honestly the best meditation app out there to cut through the noise of new age spirituality and the din of old timey religiosity. Fantastic customer service too.
Scammy
They make it virtually impossible to cancel your membership. There is no way to do it on the app or on the site. Also, the UX is horrible. I expect better.
