Ratings and reviews

Overall, I find this app very pleasant. Lots of options for specific meditations, and the lessons are simple and effective at gradually building on ideas. Of course, there is a payment incentive. After Level 1, there's a delay between new lessons unlocking. 7 days between lessons in Level 2. 9 days in Level 3. Etc, etc. This might be a deal-breaker for some. However, they do several payment options. Plus, they don't use a limited "free trail" to hook people in, which is a bonus in my book.

Edited: it asked for a 5 star review with the implication it would unlock more sessions. It did not, so I've edited it now that I realize how expensive (and not "free") this app is. Only the first few are available for free. It is a good app for absolute beginners learning to meditate. It does it in small, manageable and attainable increments. It offers reminders and positive encouragement to keep you focused. It does get repetitive after a bit.

As a beginner, I find the instruction very helpful and have shared with friends. Occasionally, it can be disruptive once you actually relax your mind, but I haven't made it past level 3. The ability to adjust the volume of the voice and background music independently could be helpful as well. I enjoy the background music, but currently, increasing the volume of the sounds also increases the volume of the guidance. This occasionally makes me anxious anticipating the shocking interruption.
