A single-teacher meditation path with Zen master Henry Shukman, no library to choose from. The app guides users along a fixed path step by step. Experienced practitioners from Vipassana, TM, and Waking Up call it the best thing they've tried.
評価点:One path, no paralysis of choice. Henry's voice is warm, precise, and exceptional. The structure builds: each session builds on the previous one.
不満点:Not suitable for complete beginners as the first sessions assume basic familiarity with practice. Less content than Calm or Headspace. The strict linearity frustrates those who want to choose.
向いている人:Experienced meditators who need a real teacher, not a playlist. Ideal for Zen practitioners and anyone tired of a 'meditation menu.'
Sam Harris builds not just a meditation library but a clear secular system of practice: an intro course leads from concentration to non-dual awareness. Harris's voice is described as calm and precise. Includes conversations with Buddhist teachers, neuroscientists, and philosophers. People with decades of practice find new depth here.
評価点:Introduction to non-dual awareness through live speech, not instruction. Harris's voice and pacing. A library of conversations with real teachers, from Tibetan monks to scientists. Works for those who can't accept the mystical framing of other apps.
不満点:Almost no female voices or teachers. One experienced user noted hours of practice without a single female voice. Navigation has grown more complex over time: in 2021 the app was focused, now it's cluttered with sections.
向いている人:Practitioners with a secular worldview who care about methodological rigor. Suitable for both beginners and those with existing meditation experience.
Daily meditation with a video lesson and audio session from live teachers. The '5-minute lesson plus meditation' format keeps the practice going for years. Two hosts with different styles serve a wide audience. Users with anxiety, depression, and pain report changes in quality of life.
評価点:Real teachers with a personal voice, not faceless corporate content. The daily format sustains the habit better than a library. Programs on specific themes: acceptance, self-compassion, pain.
不満点:Streaming quality sometimes drops and tracks cut out with a weak connection. No way to listen offline in basic mode. Some beginner users struggle with navigation.
向いている人:People who want not just to meditate but to understand why. Suitable for daily practice with a teacher over months and years.
The app works as a personal Sadhguru channel. Isha Kriya and Shambhavi practices are described as transformative even for people who have gone through heavy loss. A large volume of content available for download. After updates, the app periodically freezes on the loading screen.
評価点:Access to meditations after downloading. Specific practices with a long tradition: Isha Kriya, Shambhavi. A sense of connection to a living teacher rather than an anonymous voice.
不満点:After updates the app periodically stops opening or freezes on the loading screen. Full immersion assumes acceptance of the teacher's spiritual system. No subtitles for the hard of hearing.
向いている人:People ready to practice within a specific yogic tradition who seek depth rather than a set of mixed techniques.
