Perfect
I’ve been searching a long time for a meditation app where the person’s voice is not overly saccharine or annoying. This is it. Instructions are given in a matter of fact way. Plus there is heady theory to satisfy your cerebral side. So many meditation apps out there are just a lot of cloying fluff. This one isn’t.

Great app
I really enjoy this app. The mindful CBT sections are really good!
life changer
After a long time away from meditation I tried everything to get back. This app got me there. The depth it offers gives you something to get your teeth into. Hooked. I have no head.
Payment required for first episode.
I did not get to use the app. The very first episode cost money. I know there is a 7 day trial but I don’t want to sign up for something that I didn’t even get to listen to 1 episode. This is more of a feedback than a review. Make the first 2 episodes free.
Enjoying practicing and sharing the Waking Up App
I only tried the Waking Up App to see what my husband was doing every morning. I have what I call a spiritual practice, and felt a bit superior about it. I’ve been totally blown away by the immediate insights and sense of freedom I’ve been experiencing through this particular practice. It’s actually fun and I look forward to the daily meditations every morning.

Great Customer Service!
I had an issue with my account & billing and the customer service team fixed it right away!
Playback constantly stalls
The constant stalling of the playback is extremely frustrating and overshadows the other good qualities of the app
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.
Edit: Refund finally received on August 6

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.

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!
