1. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Do NOT download this app or get premium. This app is a scam. Paid for a membership and it just stopped working randomly. Emailed support and they never got back to me. Do yourself a favor and ignore this app. I cannot believe they are scamming people with mental illness!

2. ★★★★★login, signup and account access

   Doesn't fit my screen. Glad there is a free trial and I didn't pay yet. I can't even create an account because it doesn't fit my screen and I can't check all the boxes.

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

   Used to be Decent. This app has gone to absolute trash

4. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Deleted this app. I deleted this app and thought I had canceled it. I still seem to be paying for it. Please cancel.

5. ★★★★★trial charges and refunds

   Total Rip-off – Don’t Pay for Features You Already Own!. Do not waste your money on this app. It is essentially a "scam" in the sense that they are charging a high subscription fee for features that are built into your iPhone and Apple Watch for completely free. This app markets itself as a necessary tool for focus and mindfulness, but it’s just a middleman. • The "Limit" Feature: Your iPhone already has "Screen Time" and "App Limits" built into the Settings menu. You can block any app or category for free without a subscription. • The Meditation Timer: The Apple Watch literally comes with a "Mindfulness" app (the blue flower icon) and a "Mind & Body" workout mode. Both do exactly what this app does—track your time and add it to your rings—without a monthly fee. • The "Calming Sounds": You can find "Background Sounds" in your Apple Watch/iPhone Accessibility settings or just use a free playlist on YouTube/Spotify. They lure you in with a "free trial" and then hit you with a massive charge, banking on the fact that you won’t realize your phone already does all of this. It's predatory, especially since it targets people looking for mental clarity. Save your money and just use the Apple Health and Screen Time tools already on your device.

   I didn’t create a review. I didn’t create a review but was just notified that I did. Very strange.

7. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Thievery. I once was a big fan of this app — in fact, all the apps from this developer. Then they got greedy. Their Growth Bundle provided reasonable pricing for all of their apps and I've been a subscriber for five years. But my recently-renewed subscription is no longer active in any but one of the 10 apps I use — and I'm being gouged to the tune of $340+ every year if I want to continue using them. Developer support is nonexistent; my email messages are being ignored. Given the plethora of reasonably-priced apps that do what this app does, you're better off looking someplace else.

8. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Beware. I enjoyed this app for years when it was free. Two weeks ago I wanted to revisit my favorite body scan meditation and paid for an annual subscription. Now I can’t access anything on this app. It stops me and asks for more money. Amazing!

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

   Not the same old good app anymore. The app is too much crowded now, difficult now to find any good basic meditations which were just one click away previously.. looks like app is too commercialized and too many so called meditation experts cashing on people by coming up with custom names for the basic beautiful meditation. Don’t use this and clutter your mind, better do your own basic breathing meditation..

10. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    App Crashes Constantly. App is constantly crashing when I try to go to the page of the teachers I would like to listen to. This is also for the premium version.

11. ★★★★★search fails to find what is needed

    Scam. My card was charged $150. I have reached out to the support email but have not heard back. There is no phone number available to talk to customer support. I have looked through my emails and the app but cannot find a receipt of purchase. Stay far far away.

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

    Ssdd. Nothing helpful, I kept thinking I would learn but turns out to be a lot of dinging sound and same phrases as get in touch with your inner calm! Made me more stressed out! Found myself making notes of exactly what each trainer said so I could make my own and call my self deserie calmbucket and make money off people thinking I would fix them! My therapist got a kick out of it when I told him!

13. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Worthless. This is supposed to be the Apple health Meditation app. And apple says pay 20$ for connection to your soul. Or However you want to see meditation. Fact is meditation is a human feature, like exercise. Don’t pay 20$ for it. You can’t use anything without paying $20. Just get the insight timer app. They have in app purchases but you don’t HAVE to get them to use their app.

14. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Scam. Give you a unique code to try but there is no place to enter it. All roads lead to signing up for a subscription. ZERO support.

15. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    No content. I don’t have enough money to pay the monthly fees. I am using the free content. There are no meditations at all. Everything is locked. It’s not worth it if you are poor. Only rich people who have the premium membership can access any content. Every tab and every course was locked except for 2 minute introductions. Save yourself the hassle don’t purchase this app.

16. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Sad turn of events. I used to love this app, I had subscribe to it annually at one point, and also at other times just purchased meditations, mostly from Michael Stone. Now, all of the things that I purchased are behind a pay wall, they are locked and I cannot listen to them anymore, even though I paid for them. I have tried many, many, many times to email this developer and every time I do, I get an error message in their app.very sad, and disappointing.

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

    Stuck. Has taken over my phone, and I’m missing several important calls… IT rings once goes to voicemail

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

    No captions for deaf/hard of hearing.. Totally useless as I can’t hear and they failed to provide captions.

19. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    apple watch app not working. i’ve had this for a day now and each time i go to open the app on my watch it asks me to log in on my phone but i already am. ive uninstalled the app from my watch and redownloaded several times to fix but i’m still having issues. :/ dunno

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

    Unlocking meditations?. You have to share meditations with people via text in order to unlock meditations?? There’s no other explanation about unlocking meditations and if there’s any other way to unlock them…

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

    New Version Fail. Have used this app for years, and now it demands a login. That’s fine. But I’ve tried multiple times and it says I don’t have an Internet connection. Well, I had enough of a connection to post this.

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

    Data Synchronisation.. The app no longer syncs data in the health app for some years. It’d be great to have this feature back.

23. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Cancellation. This app makes it impossible to cancel! If anyone has any clue I would appreciate help! There is not a “cancel” option in my subscription! Just a list of prices!! Which I cannot afford at this juncture of life! Help!

24. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    App is not working. Mindfulness app was on my phone for 10 years. I bought it as a one time download and now he wants me to re-subscribe for $10 a year? Is that correct?

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

    Beware of Restoring Purchases. Hej, I purchased $100+ of meditations that I’ve used over the year. I upgraded my phone and the restore function doesn’t work in the app. Also, the link to the help page doesn’t pull in the right url. Be careful what you purchase!

26. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Not compatible with iPhone 13 ProMax. I am a paid subscriber and I love the app but when I upgraded my phone from iPhone X to iPhone 13 ProMax it does not work. I have updated the app and my OS. I hope an update comes out soon to fix the issue.

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

    Worst app ever!!. It worked fine for few weeks then suddenly the app became garbled that I couldn’t get a single session of meditation.!! There is no way to resolve the situation, no customer service, no update.. nothing! What was supposed to be a source of peacefulness became a major source of irritation..!! SHAME!

28. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Stopped working with iOS 15. Was working until I upgraded to iOS 15

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

    No titles or courses. This app has no courses shpwing at all when j open it

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

    Why the chimes?. Personally find chimes as relaxing as a car horn bu didn’t see a way to shut off.
