Unplug: Guided Meditation

The videos for meditation are great, that's out lf the question. However, the user experience is, in my opinion, exceptionally bad for an app you pay for. Every click pretty much refreshes the screen, each "refresh" refreshes the whole list of videos that are suggested/popular. So if you found some interesting video but forgot to add it to a list (which is also a pain in the butt to create) you will never see the same video again. Those are just some issues that come to mind immediately.

The meditations and instructors are amazing. However, the app has buffering issues, for the past month and a half every time I try to log in it tells me "your free trial has ended. Please select a plan". I've had the monthly plan for months but it won't let me move past that screen. I've deleted the app and reinstalled it. Still does it. I contacted customer support for help and was told someone would get back to me... they haven't. Basically, I'm paying for an app that doesn't work.

Absolutely loved this app and used it nearly everyday for the last year. Unfortunately, the program began to collapse over the last few months. It started with glitchy playback and the interface would just go white and freeze. Customer service was responsive but unable to resolve the issues. I held onto my sub for as long as I could, but I can no longer justify spending money for something that works maybe 10% of the time. The app should be removed from the store until this is resolved.

The contents are fine and I enjoy them very much but the app itself is horrible! Pictures are distorted, can't use full screen (will get stuck blank after video stops). Can't play in the background, also uses tons of battery. If you compare it with other medication apps, and see how user friendly they are, you will know this app is at least 10 years behind and need a revamp. Hope there will be some improvements. I didn't notice any changes after each app update. Not sure what has been updated.

This app is absolute garbage. The sound stops if it is not actively running in the foreground. If your phone goes to sleep during a meditation, it stops as well. I have no desire to fiddle with my phone during a meditation. Its counter productive, but necessary for this application. The sound quality on the guidances that I've heard is low as well.

When it works, it works beautifully on my Android phone. This is my first meditation app & I absolutely love it. However, there are times like the past several days & even before, where it just crashes upon starting it. Each time this has happened, I make sure the app doesn't have an update I need to do & it hasn't. I realized a while ago that clearing the cache frequently helps with this for a little while at least. 4/5 stars.

The mediations are great and there is a lot of variety. The app itself is awful. Half the content doesn't show, it constantly freezes, scrolling through the various meditations is laborious. It very much needs a update. Saved mediations to my favourites and they randomly disappear. 👍 For the content but a huge 👎👎👎 for the actual functioning of the app itself

Absolutely awful meditation app that isn't even worthy of the massive discount I received for signing up. The app has videos instead of audio which is completely pointless because our eyes are closed during meditation. The only thing the videos do is slow down the actual processing so many times the video can't actually play seamlessly. On top of that there are quite a few other glitches when trying to select playlists and the one you touch isn't the one that comes up.

As much as I love the content, this app is not functional on an Android device. Used to be better, but now the whole playlist section is broken, the profile section is broken, search is broken, and I can only scroll through a certain number of videos before it refuses to keep scrolling. This heavily limits what content I can play. The app also has always crashed after playing almost any video. To play another, I have to close and restart it. Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling; no change.

I love this app! I downloaded it for the Yes Theory 30 day challenge and every day is amazing. I used to struggle before with sticking to meditation and making it a habit, but having a different meditation to do every day and so many options it keeps it fresh. I highly recommend this app! The only reason I haven't given 5 stars is because the computer scientist in me feels that the UI could be improved. Other than that, it's fantastic!

First of all, let me say how much I love the design and content of this app. The variety of teachers and the quality of the meditations are the best I've found and I'm a meditation teacher! Unfortunately, on the technical side the app isn't really fit for purpose. It constantly crashes, freezes, offers up a blank screen. It doesn't save my favourite meditations to play lists. It doesn't allow me to navigate the app. I could go on. I really want to love this app but I can't. I'm so sorry.

I have always loved guided meditations when I found a good one on YouTube but could never make the habit stick and searching for new meditations that connected with me was frustrating. I've been using the unplugg meditations for two months now and the vast majority of the meditations connect with me. I've noticed a huge improvement in feeling centered rather than scattered, focused rather than stressed, and improvement in my anxiety. Cannot recommend enough.

Amazing content, terrible app. Interfacing with the app works in opposition to the benefits of the meditations. It's never been very responsive to touch for scrolling, it's choppy. Saving meditations to playlists is cumbersome. Most frustratingly, it's stopped showing curated playlists from Unplug entirely—there's just a blank white box where it should be—and the Meditation of the Day shows one thing on the home screen but takes me to an entirely different meditation when I tap on it.

I subscribed for a year literally just to have access to one sleep meditation video that actually puts me to sleep. I will not continue to subscribe due to an annoying app feature that doesn't allow you to lock your phone screen while listening to a video. If I meditate and fall asleep at 10pm my phone screen is still on the ENTIRE night after its finished playing the one 23 minute video. The app doesn't allow your screen to time out or your phone to lock/sleep afterwards. Frustrating!!!!!!

As I am seriously considering an investment in the annual membership, jumping ship from Headspace, I am really not reassured by the 7 day free trial. I love what is offered as presented by app creator. ** Edit ** no more glitches, and contact person was super responsive and helpful with my complaint. Worthy investment. From two stars to four and half, cuz there is always room to grow. Love the variety of different folks leading the guided meditations. Someone for everyone!

I absolutely love this app! It is my go to for my daily meditation. I love how the app is organized by categories because it helps me find what I want quick and easily. I can also create a playlist and save my favorite meditations. The variety and diversity on unplug is a huge highlight for me. Thank you Unplug for helping me get my calm on!

Constant buffering issues, even with my internet working really well. If that wasn't annoying enough, the screen has to stay on for the video to play. Not what I want in an app that I had every intention of paying for!

The content is great. I use it everyday!! However, the app needs some improvements. It is very slow and sometimes freezes. This is the only reason I give 4 stars to Unplug. I hope they fix the app soon.

I really do love these meditations but then videos are consistently buffering and it really take me out of the experience. The videos in this app aren't loading that way that they should, which is a bummer because the content in the videos is really good! Unplug, help?

I am a huge fan of this app. Tons of guided meditations with multiple videos by several teachers. I like how meditations are categorized by time (for when I'm on the go), topic (when I am focused on an issue) or teacher (I really like Davidji and Alexa!). This app has it all and has made me more disciplined in meditating daily. HIGHLY recommend!

I honestly loved this app and I only used the free version for like the past 30 minutes. it has everything self helpish in one app guided meditation, journal, talks etc. I'm just a broke person so but I'd suggest it 8/10 ... just saying I don't know the full extent but what I did see was pretty darn great.

Love it but Glitchy - I love this app.....when it works. Half the time it either freezes or gives me a half white/half black screen when I try to use it on my LGV50 and I have to reboot. No problems with any other apps on this phone.

Good meditations, bad for Android. I generally really liked the variety of the meditations but with an Android phone, the app doesn't work well at all. I ended up canceling my subscription because it wasn't working despite my updated Android OS. Please make the Android update and I will re subscribe!

love the sessions, but the app bugs a lot. videos lagging are not relaxing to me and don't sooth my anxiety. it's my only complaint, but it weighs pretty heavy. not planning on renewing my subscription :( :( :(

I love this App but all my saved meditations have disappeared and the timer is acting up lately. I really want to love this app, but they need to work out glitches. I may look for a new app once my subscription is up.

This app buffers through all of the videos, it makes mediating not so relaxing. It didn't do this in the beginning but every one dies it now. Nothing else buffers on my phone but this.

Nothing like it! I have tried every meditation app and this is by far my favorite. I love the variety of classes and the teachers have personality and make it so easy to meditate. I feel like they are my friends now and there are a couple who are my go to. Davidji, Heather and Tracee for sleep. I have shared this with all my friends- the best.

Amazing content that has really guided me in my beginning months of meditation. I love the different time options and all the teachers! New Android app is working well. Thank you for updating it!!

Great app! Many meditions options as well as music. I love that it tracks your meditation and it has a journal for you to write any notes.

Love this App and contrary to other users, I've never had it crash or freeze on me. I like that it tracks my progress and saves my favorite go to meditations for quick reference.
