Contact Meditation Mantra Slowdive Support

When I saw this app advertised on Instagram, it claimed to feature chakra clearing. I’ve had various guided meditation recordings in the past for chakra clearing but cannot find my favorite one again. I thought I’d give this one a shot after looking at it—it seemed robust with a nice look to it. After paying a lifetime fee of $70 (my bad) I installed it and looked through the options. I found one short ambient meditation for chakras but it’s completely lame. Just music and chanting. No guidance through the chakras, no explanations. I looked at other meditations which were equally lame like Waheguru and Ram which were odd but not traditional. The Om meditation were acceptable. There’s a lot of New Age takes on various religions. Perhaps it’s the way the interface is designed but I certainly don’t see many choices for meditation, classes, music, or sounds. Heck, I am headed over to Insight Timer for $25/year. They have zillions of options and classes. Much more professional. Now I have to navigate the journey of a refund. I went to the App Store for a refund and there’s a link to the developer’s social media accounts. I messaged the Instagram account but I don’t have much trust it’ll be resolved there. PS: Just got Insight Timer instead. It’s looking amazing so far!

This app promises to refund you if you don’t find it useful. It’s guaranteed, and since they make it so you pretty much have to pay $40 to even see what is available, I did. Very quickly I realized it wasn’t for me, it bad but just not going to be beneficial for someone who already has a daily meditation routine. So I contacted the app (same day) to get rid of the subscription and be refunded. 3 days later a rep contacted me with instructions to type into any search engine “how to get a refund from apple for app subscriptions” lol. If I wanted to argue with Apple about an app guaranteeing refund and why I need one, trust me I would figure out how to do so on my own. I expect so so so much more from a mindfulness app and quite frankly I’m disgusted at their behavior and would never trust them with anything that has to do with my menta health.

App does not offer a trial and does not even show any of the interface before asking for immediate payment. Not going to pay in advance and hope the app has something to offer. In response to the developer. First, I’m not asking for free for all things for all time. I’m asking for either a limited free offering to see the sense of things, or a free trial of the whole thing. If you want to offer an app for a paid up front cost, then don’t make it a free download and instead charge before downloading. You go through an entire onboarding process, asking permissions for various things, and only at the end of onboarding reveal that you cannot even see the interface without getting charged. You may as well just put the initial charge as a cost to download. Finally, looking at current reviews, I noticed multiple reviews from different people with the same comment, reviews of literally only two words, that all magically rate five stars. Seems like astroturfing to me. For real people out there considering downloading this, just walk away.
