buddhify - mindfulness to go

Excellent to find a free, small-team app whose personality shines through, however it won't stop crashing on my phone (P20 Pro running latest update). This means I'm constantly trying to keep my screen on/check it hasn't crashed in quieter parts of meditations, and it won't sync with Google Fit as the progress isn't updated when it locks onto the "meditation finished" screen. The settings menu could use a UX improvement, too, and it would be great to easily be able to contact support for issues

I really like buddhify. Its way of categorising the meditations is novel and very useful. It also has an imaginative way of taking meditation into new situations where it is not normally practiced, which really extends the reach. In the subscription version the ability to lead a meditation, and the more longer meditations with less guidance are great to deepen your practice. There are a few things that could be tweaked. It would be great if the app loaded quicker - it can take a while to run all the start up checks. For the formal meditations, maybe have a screen that explains the differences between them and the more guided ones, rather than stating that at the start of meditations. These are minor points that are far outweighed by the rest of the app - and there is much more great stuff that I haven't mentioned!

No competiton, this is by far the BEST meditation app. I've tried all the other big apps and they all lacked in one way or another, not to mention they're incredibly expensive. This app embodies meditation through its easy-to-use interface. All the voices are soothing and their insight is very interesting. This app is simple, visually pleasing, and has every feature I could ever ask for. I can't praise it enough.

This app is changing my life! a cliché, but true! I'm autistic & have ADHD. My motivation over the last 2 years had hit an all time low. Meditating with Buddhify over the last few months has greatly increased my focus, motivation & energy levels. I'm able to deal with life with much more enthusiasm! The world has taken on a new glow. The easy to use interface has many options for any occasion. There are many mediations of different types and lengths. I fully recommend this app, it's fabulous!

I've tried many meditation apps over many years and this is the most effective one I've ever used. No bright lights and twinkly sound effects, just simple down-to-earth meditation. A lovely, easy to use interface. Voices (often with gentle humour) that don't distract from the content. There are two particular elements that make this app stand out. 1 - very easy to tailor the wheel to suit what you use/need the most and 2 - it very gently guides you to be able to do it by yourself. Excellent!

Can't believe I spent money on this app - it's poorly optimized. It takes up a huge amoint of space on your phone - I had to delete 7 apps to clear space for it. Then, after it was downloaded, I had to wait 10 minutes just for all of the media to download. Then the app crashed, and then when I opened it up again I had to wait another 5 minutes for the media. When I tried to skip the download, I couldn't see any of the wheels unless I downloaded them! Try a different app.

My favourite meditation app by far and I have tried almost all of them I'm sure - both paid and free. This one is definitely the best for me. I love that it breaks the mediations up into categories because it gives me the right amount of guidance when it comes to selecting a meditation. One of the newer features that I love is the ability to have multiple wheels which means that I can have different wheels with completely different categories on them. I definitely recommend to everyone, whether a meditation newbee or someone who's been meditating for a long time

I've tried a few meditation & mindfulness apps, but Buddhify has to be the best of the lot. It's very easy to use & customise, the wheel of meditation topics is very intuitive & I love the emphasis on using it in different settings. There are many different topics to choose from to customise the app to your own experience. Each meditation is well written & read, and several of the readers are already starting to feel like old friends! Worth every penny (& more!) of the few pounds I paid for it.

I wanted a simple app to start out with and one that do not cost an arm and a leg...yearly. Buddify sounded perfect. I would even be willing to pay a bit more. Upon downloading I found a section which can only be accessed if you pay a yearly subscription. I might not even have used or needed the extra stuff...but I know that I do not need another piece of software that tries to push me into a monthly/yearly subscription. Uninstalled and requested a refund straight away.

Really nice app. Helps me get to sleep every night. It would be nice to have more meditations considering it's a paid app, as I only use it for sleep and I end up cycling through the same 8-10 meditations. It would also be nice to have some calming music on the back of some meditations to help with the relaxing atmosphere. Nevertheless, a really good app and the female voice is by far the most calming. I would recommend it to anyone who's struggling to sleep but they should add more content!

This is a lovely app and the only mindfulness meditation app I've seen that doesn't give you a tiny taster then push you to subscribe for $100+ a year. There is a recurring subscription if you want it (way cheaper than the other apps!) to access extra content like longer formal meditations, but there's plenty to explore without subscribing. I love the homegrown feel of the app - the makers are clearly in it for the love of it rather than just profit. They (mostly) reply to emails promptly too!

OK but I prefer the usability and narration on Headspace. The voices of the two main narrators irritate me a bit and I find it hard to let go. This is a good version for people on a budget, but I've decided to go back to Headspace as I got far more out of it, even though it costs substantially more.

I've used many meditation apps & most are great, but in different ways. Buddhify doesn't have a massive portfolio per sé as there aren't hundreds to choose from. But to be honest, that's what I love about it. Whenever I need to use it, I don't have to scroll through dozens of the same type of meditation, reading reviews & then taking a risk on a new voice that I'm not accustomed to. It's simplicity gives me clarity, while it still has more than enough variety to keep me from being bored.

Great app, I love the theme based structure. I was thinking about how aoo takes far too long to start up and that the loading should be in the background but then i realised: rushing to meditate is a bit silly. I should probably just take a breath while it loads Next thought: If I were you, I would probably use that loading time to tell remind people to breathe. It's probably way easier than backend changes anyways.

Ok but would like the ability to remove individual pie slice in a category. Some you don't have time to do as instructed without the voice getting in the way ie an additional distraction. Admittedly have not used app in a while now but recently went back to it and found some of those i had favoured voice overs had changed to a seemingly curt voice rather than the more pleasant voice previously in my opinion. Now wishing I had not bought this app.

Such a lovely app ! First I use it when in the office to help me clear out my mind and in the mornings, it's wonderful. Regarding the size of it and the fact that it downloads all the meditations on the phone, noticed it has the capability to download them on the sd card and that's awesome. Would recommend it to anybody who is new (or not) in meditation or simply needs an comfy and motivational app to keep things together ❤️

I started using Buddhify to help with rather extreme anxiety and it's been incredibly helpful. I love that there are different sets of meditations for different activities, emotions, and times of day, and that there are meditations using a huge variety of techniques. I have found that I can pick a meditation to suit however I'm feeling. I've also found it a really helpful tool to develop my learning and meditation technique; I can see real improvement after just a few weeks!

Paid for Membership but couldn't get extra features to work. Contacted buddhify on several occasions and only received one response back requesting proof I had paid for the membership. I again explained the issue and the error message that showed up while downloading media. I have not received an update as to efforts to correct this problem. I asked for a refund and no response. Its really too bad because I really bought in to what they were selling. Communication!!!

My favourite meditation app. Great voices and intonations, no unnecessary music or extra sound. The guides are great : gently leading and not overpowering. With a simple thank you at every end. I love the ones to aid to better sleep :) Never really had any loading problems, sometimes the updates take a while but I do that in the mornings anyway automatically.

I like the variety of meditations and it now usually loads properly. For more than 10 years I've had problems sleeping - specifically getting back to sleep when I wake in the middle of the night. I've found the techniques I've learnt through the can't sleep meditations very helpful - especially Whack. Thank you so much.

Its helpful and convenient. To me its greatest quality is how practical it is with the different styles and I also enjoy reading the foundations each day alongside practice. Im actually excited to see what meditations to try next, as well as what they will add into the app later. Truly, my favorite meditation app and the only one I have ever used on a regular basis.

This app is amazing. The quality and variety of meditations is fantastic, I particularly like that there's a meditation for every situation which genuinely feels like it connects to that situation. I like the variety of voices and the fact that most meditations are quite down-to-earth and don't require you to have spiritual beliefs (despite the name, there's no compulsory Buddhism in this).

Love their approach, and the fact that they want you to use their app as a springboard to expanding ur practice and not trying to lock u in to a certain way of doing things. I really appreciate the thoughtfulness put into integrating mindfulness and their app. I use both Bhuddify and Headspace and find that they complement each other well. If ur brand new to this either will help u learn the basics but they both offer something unique that seems to blend well for me.

I really enjoy the content of the app. There are so many meditations to choose from and they are great for all levels of experience. My only issue is that the app only works sometimes. I often have to try to start multiple meditations and then go back to the first one to get it to play. It's pretty unpredictable.
