Ratings and reviews

My top recommended mindfulness app! I recommend it to nearly all of my physical therapy clients because the pathway it takes you on is easy to use, non-intimidating, and the "learn" segments really help you understand the why behind mindfulness and meditation. It is the perfect supplement to overcoming chronic pain. An overall wonderful app for well-being!

I can't say enough about this app. The main session leader, Cortland, is such a clear, calm, easy-going and supportive presence throughout this. The progression of meditations that focus on different skills makes each new session novel, instructive and gives you a sense of growing mastery of this. The short lectures interspersed guide you through what is happening within your brain or will focus on practical ways of applying what you are working on. It's a fantastic app.

I absolutely adore this app. It is easily the best mindfulness/meditation app I have used. It is well worth your time, and I have even donated to the cause... It does have one flaw: no offline mode. That really irks me since my connectivity is really hit and miss, especially when I'm on travel (Xfinity and AT&T are hardly omnipresent).
