Meditation - Calm & Sleep

The older version was much better compared to this. Yeah, the teal Color is softer on your eyes, but every time You open the app they bug you about a subscription thing. You can now change the time limits for how long the things play but now the max is 10 minutes? It was 40 previously. I understand the voiced meditation thing but the sleep sounds? Seriously? And some of the sleep sounds are locked behind a subscription, which honestly isn’t that bad. It’s just all the other things that I’ve mentioned. For the sleep sounds change it back to the old format, that would help a ton. And rather than bugging everyone that uses the app every time they open it with a subscription, maybe at the top, put a small advertisement for the subscription so if they are interested they can click to see what it’s about. On the topic of pop-ups, could you make it so that instead of the leave a review thing come up after each meditation, have it be like the subscription thing that I recommend. They don’t have to be in the same place, as long as it doesn’t come up after every mediation right in your face, then we’re good. I have a recommendation for a auto play feature. If you are doing a meditation, then there would be a button that toggled auto play, and when turned on, it would ask the number of times the meditation would play. (I’m thinking a max of around 10 times) if you fixed some of the things, this would easily be a 4 or 5 star. Thanks!

I go through some deep depression and anxiety winter time of year and doing what I normally do(yoga, affirmations, exercise) didn’t seem to help as much. I figured I would give meditation a try. I had tried it in the past and I didn’t think it worked for me and I didn’t understand it. I decided I would give it another try. With the first session I was relaxed. I think on my fourth session(did one daily) I was so deep in the mediation I felt like I had left my body my mind was in such a trace. It sounds tacky but it was such a crazy feeling. I love her voice it’s so relaxing that during the day I replay the session in my head and it really helps me. It took maybe a week or two for me to be able to clear my mind fully during which is still an obstacle for me sometimes. I will continue to meditate do the exercises they give. I even had my fiancé try a session and he was even more of a non believer than me, he said it really relaxed him. I think you should give it a try, some sessions are only 8 mins, I hope it helps you! **UPDATE. I hate the new voice being back the old version, her voice was so much more relaxing!

I’ve been using this app for bit over a year, I even had the version before it was renamed. I’ve tried quite a few other apps, even ones you have to pay for, but this one is hands down my favorite. I haven’t been consistent so I’m only on week 2 in intro lessons but it’s already made a world of a difference! The focus on breath and visualization helps me a lot since I’m a very visual person, and the guide’s voice is very soft and soothing, and her accent is a pleasant one to listen to. The music is also just soft synth hums rather than actual music, which is awesome since I tend to find complicated music distracting. The meditations I’ve done so far are short and sweet, averaging about 10 mins each. My only tiny complaint is that the audio shuts off if your screen is locked, so I have to turn off battery saver mode to keep my screen on the entire lesson. A very minor inconvenience, but it was annoying at first. This is definitely the best free meditation app in the App Store!!! I cannot recommend it enough!!! Just 10 mins a day has changed my mental state for the better!!
