Ratings and reviews

this was an editors pick in the app store,and I read that it cost nothing and had no ads. I haven't seen that in a long time, so I was curious. I was not expecting to find an app that was so centering and calming with so many sessions to choose from. I have not seen any ads or been asked for any money. none of the sessions are locked. There's no required payment. I have seen multiple guided meditations that are short, easy to listen to, overall extremely helpful. I've shared with everyone.

If the content is similar to 29k, I assume it's great, but the lack of a search function for programs makes the app unusable for me. If and when a search function is added, I'll change the review. Also the lack of the "sleep guided meditation" program available previously sucks, at least I assume it isn't in the app, as I can't search for it.

A wonderful mindfulness app. I enjoy it more than Headspace -- and unlike Headspace, Aware is free. Aware's design is simple, clean and beautiful, and it's calming for me. I find the content accessible and helpful. My favorite mindfulness app. I just wish they'd bring back the group support calls from the previous 29k app.
