Incomparablly simple and soothing. Can you fix glitches? I've benefitted so much from this meditation app. It's my go to for body scans that I never tire of and deserving of 5 stars. As my 1/13 review stated, it has(again) been freezing. I have some progress in; peace, calm, connection of mind and my body. When I stop meditating daily, the benefits gradually stop too. I've learned for me, meditation is vital but the glitches are unbearably intrusive.
Fastest way to meditate, just open app and select the version or time limit that suits you. Not as varied as Insight Timer, but If you need to relax NOW, and don't want to click on several pages before you get to the actual meditations, then this is the app for you. Instant meditations, no BS no loud or flashing ads, you are always seconds away from guided relaxation & grounding techniques. Simple, reliable and drama free access to guided meditations
ok but the app shuts off during longer meditations, and sometimes won't load. This has now stopped loading at all despite re-installing..error message comes up: This domain is pending renewal or has expired. Please contact the domain provider with questions.
Incredibly Relaxing!! This app and its features are free! i find this so relaxing and it helps you get ready for the day and wind down for the night. this really helps with stress. i definitely recommend to everyone❤️❤️😁
I love this app; every audio is free and soothing. The only concern is sometimes the audio lags and at times wouldnt play. Hoping for a better update!
glitches and stops in the middle of meditation. No cool! when my phone goes to sleep so does the meditation, it does not continue as it should. Very annoying.
terrible. cannot hear music as it jumps up and down despite payment. hopeless cannot get without paying and still cannot hear. adds are not remove either. don't bother.
Excellent app. I've had it for 3 yrs. I'm so glad I can still use it. It's simple with no extra settings. It's perfect
I absolutely love this app!! It really does help me with my sleeping issues and also my anxiety and stress and even ny depression.. its sooooo worth it. Everybody should try it out.
Loving kindness meditation was very helpful. No technical issues. Fast and easy to navigate the app.
Ivet never taken the time to focus on myself and my body, this app has helped me connect with my body and de-stress. Living with illnesses is hard and tiring but this app has helped me understand my body. Definitely a 5 star app.
after years of therapy, this app is the easiest and structured so that i can practice meditation at home. eapecially at bed time.
Simple to use , enough options for pretty much every form of meditation and The Voice isn't incredibly irritating
I used to love this app and the meditations it provides but now it glitches and pauses during the guided meditations, it needs updated!
I find this easy to relax to and l get to sleep easily when l use the session. It's excellent!
I used to love this app and it just doesn't work at all anymore. can someone help me understand why? it says "error establishing a database connection"
Needs to stream the meditations for every use instead of just downloading them once. Rather use the UCLA websites which has these same meditations available for download.
using mindfulness guide has helped me.i use breathing techniques whenever I feel something that is harmful. and by using it has helped me.to feel more calm.i encourage other people to try it.
I went through the contents of the app and found to be very helpful. I rated the App with 5 star as everything is free. Thank you all.
I think my app is broken it was on 49 seconds and then it stopped working it's not playing and it's so frustrating!!
it's really distracting and disgusting that you can her the speakers saliva from a dry mouth. unable to focus with this.
i wanted to share my review to other so they will be guided: this app is nice. is user friendly even to those who are not tech savvy, its free and very helpful.
Great app that I use everyday. Sometimes its acts a little quirky, but overall I really like. I wish they had this app for iPhones.
The guilded ones do not work it shows 1 second on it that's it but the just the music ones work
Beautiful zen voice from the lady helps me fall asleep within 5 mins. Highly recommend!
App went down April 8-9, 2019. since it's been back online, it glitches. It stops, somewhere in the middle of the meditation, then in the early morning, it will finish by waking me up, with the finish of the meditation. It's not a four star anymore. Too bad. I used to love this app, it was my favorite. * I reinstalled, it didn't help.
