I am actually disappointed in this app, I was unable to trial any features for free after downloading it, other than watching one 2minute clip that was pretty much advertising for the app and taking 3 breaths. This app is meant to improve mental health, this is why it was referred to me. However you can not do a thing without paying an expensive monthly or yearly subscription fee, one that I don't believe your average teenager or minimum wage worker could afford, that is disappointing.

So I found out they sell your data unless you opt out, and you can't cancel your subscription through the app, and the website has log in issues so I can't cancel it there either. I liked it back when it was meditations and sleepcasts (the exercise part is probably good too). I'm not interested in the videos where people talk about things - I want to meditate, and it's annoying to have to wade through things that aren't meditations (at least the exercise stuff is in its own section).

It's one of the better meditation apps out there, Love a lot of the content. Unfortunately the UI is too confusing these days. I can't see the full description of sleep casts before checking. It's hard to save meditations and view favourites. I clicked on a meditation course out of curiousity and now it seems pinned to my homepage, I find the content triggering and it's not easy to remove. I wish you could skip ahead/back in meditations. There's also a lot of gimmicks, like the Star Wars content

What's new

A steady meditation practice can calm the mind. But sometimes a bug appears in the app and it distracts us. We removed that bug from this latest version, and we already feel more at ease.
