  1. ★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Payment. I wanted to try a free sample of the app, but after downloading it was informed there was a charge.

  2. ★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Too little for too much money. Just that. And when one subscription end You sucker me in, by making it well nigh impossible to cancel. This has happened at less two years in a row.

  3. ★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    This app is trash. It costs a lot of money and can’t do anything on it for free

  4. ★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Wooow. I honestly don’t know how this is use full. It feels like a dump of all these cliché things that are almost all the same. I thought this would have been cool but it’s just feels like something you don’t need at all. You can get everything here on YouTube and it’s free. This is t worth a single dollar only a free trial, Even then it’s just lacking the individual experience in my opinion. It’s just dumps you into this super colors Ui with cheesy quotes and then everyone’s tone is the same along with instagram story fonts at the page to each thing your about to get into. It just feels like an app that’s disconnected from its purpose and looks pretty on the outside and just suits new comers.

  5. ★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Scam. It indicates it’s free. Most features you have to pay for. Deleted!

  6. ★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Seriously a subscription?!. Might as well make the app one price and ask one payment. These new meditation techniques aren’t some mind blowing research that keeps getting published on this app. If this was a research publication sure then the subscription makes sense. This is just a curated YouTube podcast videos about meditation. Just create a YouTube playlist for all your favorite meditations. Wow a subscription?!! Or make it like Udemy where you can purchase each meditation video thing. Maybe 10cents for each meditation video.

  7. ★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Not for me. Asking way too much for meditation in my opinion. Asked me to imagine walking through a field of flowers and to picture the different kinds and colors of the flowers which were supposed to be in rows. To picture myself in dressier clothing walking in the rows. Picture one particular flower, notice every detail in great detail including a vibrant color. Notice a cushion on the ground in front of the flower and sit down in front of the flower. Stare at it. Then picture a brilliant neon blue and black butterfly flying through the air and eventually landing on the flower and then on my fingertip and then imagine I am the butterfly and I fly away to a cottage. I am then asked to picture every detail of the cottage etc. Goes on and on with different scenarios while some irritating tinkling music is playing in the background. I didn’t care for it. I like guided meditation but not like this extremely detailed type. Made me edgy and not happy.

  8. ★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Disappointed. Highly disappointed that in order to use 98% of this app you have to pay a month payment or a subscription. My mental well being should not be capitalized off of. Period. I get that apps need to make money but as an app that claims to “help” issues at hand its just a rip off considering that most of us already have to pay for therapy as well. You are much better off looking up YouTube videos.

  9. ★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Little things can mean a lot. I was really excited to try this app, which I did not do. The single star is given because the first screen that opened provided an inspirational quote but the app creators got the name wrong - the great woman’s name was ROSA Parks not ROSE Parks. It speaks to the integrity of the app which is clearly lacking. Mindfulness is the point - ironic isn’t it?

  10. ★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Not good. The daily quotes are really lame & the app itself is confusing to navigate.

  11. ★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Worst meditation app I’ve used. I did one of the meditations and the speaker’s microphone setup could not have cost more than a monthly subscription and he was speaking at the speed of light. This platform has serious work ahead in order to compete with other meditation apps.

  12. ★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Paid for app and it won’t allow me to access content. I have been paying to use this app for YEARS! And now it is requesting an email address from me as soon as I open it and when I enter my email and hit continue, nothing happens. It will not let me do anything. ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE!!!

  13. ★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Try it before I sell you my info. I'd like to try this product before I hand over my name and email address. Not being able to even see the product before giving you my info or money has made this an unviable option.

  14. ★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    hateful. nothing says “relieve stress” like “submit your email” on launch

  15. ★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Not working!. This is ridiculous, my subscription ends Feb 2022 and after updating the app today, the app is asking me for my email which I’ve done. I put my email in and the app just hangs, little spinning wheel goes around and around and I’m not able to sign in.

  16. ★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Homeless now because of this. I got the app and it took 10k dollars out of my card >:(

  17. ★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Billed me after I cancelled. I signed up for the 7 day free trial. I have hearing loss and wanted to use these to help with insomnia but couldn’t understand them without my hearing aids which I don’t sleep in so I cancelled with more than 24 hours to spare before the trial ended. They billed me anyway. I’m not even sure how to go about getting my money back now.

  18. ★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Fake reviews. You can’t use it unless you pay for it. No one is paying 30 bucks for this. All your reviews are fake.

  19. ★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Premium. Last update caused an issue where the first song plays for all the musics. Go to Relaxing and Flow does not play Flow. It’s playing something else. Please fix it.

  20. ★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Free Version. I understand you want to make $$ off of your app, however, continuing to spam Buy Me Buy Me Buy Me on every screen after I’ve purposefully chosen to simply try the free version does NOT make me want to buy it and it CERTAINLY does nothing to help my anxiety. I deleted it before even trying a meditation. Scummy marketing practices bro.

  21. ★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    This app is a joke!. This app is a joke!

  22. ★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Total Waste. I wasted time filling in all this info. I signed up for the free trial and paid for a year. But the app just wants more sign ups, etc. i wanted help with sleep. Good luck, this app never delivers. Now I have to waste more time trying to cancel and not ve charged. Good luck with that.

  23. ★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Sleep Nature Sounds Bad. Tried listening to the three different rain sounds this app had and they all where bad. One sounded like constant finger tapping and another one crashed my entire phone. Thank goodness for the free trial or I be ticked right about now...

  24. ★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Disappointed. I have had this app for a few years all of a sudden when I am playing my favorites it stops within the first few minutes. You need to fix the problem. I paid for something I can’t listen too. Ugh!!!

  25. ★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    major glitch. i love this app and use it all the time. however recently, when i try to get to the guided meditations tab, the app shuts down and exits to my home page. i’ve tried using it on both wifi and data, but neither works. thank you!

  26. ★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    All about the $. Mental healh shouldnt be about money. The fact that you have to pay to use this app is exactly what drove me away.

  27. ★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    This company is horrible !. They took money out of my account with out even notifying me. I was under the impression the application was fee however they are not. They took about $70.00 out of my account in leas then a month. I don’t recommend this app for no one unless they are able to give me my refund.

  28. ★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Can’t try it without having to subscribe. Title says it all

  29. ★★★★trial charges and refunds

    This app doesn’t work for Apple TV. I downloaded it and it never worked I couldn’t even trial run it. Then I get charged 35.99 for something I could never use. Asked for a refund and it was stated that it was in refundable such a rip off app.. DO NOT SUBSCRIBE TO THIS USING AN APPLE TV.. BEWARE

  30. ★★★★a needed feature is missing

    Keeps crashing!. I feel like this app has good content, however it keeps crashing and I can’t even get through one meditation! I’m getting more anxiety just by trying to listen to one anxiety no more meditation!!! I even downloaded it for offline use, but why bother it still crashes! Also, I wish there was a way that you can tell the app to silence out all background like phone calls and text messages. Every time one comes in, boom! The app stops and kicks you right out. It’s very frustrating and I’m subscribed and spending money on this app. At this point I regret the fact I’ll have to unsubscribe and move on, and find an account where I can actually meditate and relax!! 😔
