Slowdive | Meditation & Mantra Reviews

by Fifi Gold

I was so excited to see the marketing and graphics which brought me to SlowdiveMeditationMantra. While I was excited to start my quickly downloaded App from my App Store to my iPhone13 MaxPro the site was so slow. If you want to spend your time waiting for a download be prepared to do your deep breathing and visualization as you wait for a possible download of their content. SlowdiveMeditationMantra has great potential if only the functionality matched the beautiful marketing.

SlowdiveMeditationMantra 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 SlowdiveMeditationMantra (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 SlowdiveMeditationMantra 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.

I am trained in TM, Im certified in Level 3 Reiki, Ive had the original meditation app Insight Timer for years - but Im always looking at new programs coming out. Specifically for soothing sounds/music and guided meditations however Im not blindly investing money in a product without seeing what Im getting. I don’t care if its 1 hour or 1 day trial - there are way to many other options in this saturated market and honestly the only thing that sets them apart is how user friendly the UI is, the sounds/music and the voice of the guided meditation people - all the stuff you’re saying I have to pay to preview?! Give me your money and I’ll show you the goods after model isn’t for me. Good luck though - ✨✨✨

When SlowdiveMeditationMantra didn’t offer a free trial, I hesitated. Now I realize I should have relied on my intuition.

I was expecting lots of guided meditation options specifically chakra work. There are 5 categories and 5 guided meditations which I haven’t been impressed with. You can customize your practice with music which multiplies your options but when you get into the meditations themselves it’s not that great.

Gaia has MANY more guided meditation options. I will be pursuing a refund.

I bought SlowdiveMeditationMantra looking specifically for chakra healing. There are no guided meditations for chakra healing even though I looked for it as stated in another review. In fact there are only 25 guided meditations. The only saving grace SlowdiveMeditationMantra might have, is the music and timer.

Since SlowdiveMeditationMantra didn’t have what I wanted, I decided to return it for a refund. There is no company info or a way to contact the developers within SlowdiveMeditationMantra . So I sent an email to an address provided in a previous review. That email was returned as undeliverable. I have now contacted Apple’s complaint department and am waiting for a reply and hopefully a refund. Beware.

When I saw SlowdiveMeditationMantra 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 SlowdiveMeditationMantra 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!

Great idea for an app and look. That is rendered useless however by the way ut runs. A meditation takes up to 5 min of “loading” screen to start. Abd when you are meditation it just cuts out at random times. So you have to stop and reload the whole thing. So all you get us frustration. Plus there is no support link from within SlowdiveMeditationMantra and when you click on the support link in SlowdiveMeditationMantra store it gives you some agency page that has 2 emails for contact but non of them are actually support.

I saw SlowdiveMeditationMantra promoted on IG. I liked the advertisement and it promoted different Oms and chakra healing. I’ve been wanting to get into daily meditations, set my intentions, and have guided chakra healing sessions. I paid the lifetime fee ($70) but SlowdiveMeditationMantra almost never works. The guided meditations just load forever, SlowdiveMeditationMantra crashes and closes, and there is only one Om mantra. So far I have just gone back to Calm and Meditopia. I saw that there is difficulty getting a refund so I will probably just end up eating the cost but SlowdiveMeditationMantra will soon be deleted.

SlowdiveMeditationMantra definitely needs improvement as it doesn’t track the time you meditated accurately.
My biggest disappointment is that they changed all the guided meditations to have no background music. It doesn’t have the same impact nor does it have the same effect. I paid for a full year and I honestly would like my money back because I don’t see myself using SlowdiveMeditationMantra anymore since they made that change.

by Cosmicdarling_

I liked SlowdiveMeditationMantra at first for the mantras but really that is it. I haven’t tried the meditations tbh. I just care about my own background music for my own meditations/trance/vibe and there isn’t enough options for that. Also the tracker for the meditations is not even useful because sometimes you’ll start something then end it try something else so it’s not true monitoring. The random music they have available to play or pause on the main screen is usually nice background music but it’s only available at their time, I don’t know what time that is, but you press play and it won’t play, or sometimes it will, and sometimes it’ll only play for a few minutes even if you want to keep listening. It’s not a well designed user friendly app in my opinion. Pretty weak.

My app doesn’t function correctly. It doesn’t show the correct time. My location is on and I already added my exact location but it didn’t change the data. Whenever I wake up it says that in an hour or less there would be sunset!!! It also doesn’t keep my profile info.

As the title implies I downloaded SlowdiveMeditationMantra and then purchased a plan. From the time I downloaded it, ambient music was playing and after I purchased the plan, I realized that I couldn’t turn off the ambient music. I thought it had stopped on its own and went about my business only to realize that music was coming from my purse. I was busy at the time so I just removed SlowdiveMeditationMantra , but now I have to deal with either trying to get a refund or figuring out how to stop the music in the future. So far, this has been a total pain and I wish I hadn’t gotten myself into this in the first place.

by Sergorp

I really like the interface and all of the choices available. The huge glaring flaw is that the meditations themselves are not good. They are all short, not well-written and the voice over isn’t particularly pleasant. If they got somebody like Jason Stephenson to do the meditations, they would have an outstanding product. I am actually trying to find out how to get a refund as promised.

I just saw an advertisement SlowdiveMeditationMantra on instagram and have been wanting to do some meditating and spiritual and chakra healing (after all had been advertised) so i figured i'd give it a shot- AFTER being asked several questions and spending about 5 minutes of setting up my profile- i am then introduced with the fact that SlowdiveMeditationMantra is useless unless you pay- literally no access to anything. okay cool i buy a one month subscription because I really want to start my journey- after making my purchase i go to the meditations and while there are many options which seem helpful- there was not a single guided meditation, outline, or section on chakras and aligning them- kind of disappointing but i will still be using SlowdiveMeditationMantra to its full potential because the other qualities are great.. just put some chakra stuff in there.. :))

I really like the meditations, however the user face is a bit confusing to use. I can’t find anywhere that I can see all meditations; as my main goal was to use SlowdiveMeditationMantra for chakra work. A random chakra meditation came up today but otherwise I can’t seem to choose out of all meditations. Also, SlowdiveMeditationMantra keeps switching my days and nights around even though I gave it access to everything. Also, if I did want to change any preference I don’t like how you have to go through the whole test again to change one preference. Otherwise I think the meditations are very good, but I’m hoping to see improvements in the future.

SlowdiveMeditationMantra is awesome, new design is fabulous. It’s easy to use and it helps so much to establish meditation habit, incredible.
I’ve been trying bunch of other apps in this space but I have never seen anything even close to this. Great product! Huge thanks to whoever created it, you rock 🤍

by Timmothy Botsford

Good morning! I like SlowdiveMeditationMantra, for me it's a good way to start the day with some nice meditation about loving yourself or something like that.🙏 Not sure if I want the chakra meditations, but maybe I'll try

by Kim K. Fan

If you’re ready to make some positive life changes, SlowdiveMeditationMantra is what you need. There’s a plethora of different meditations for different things that you’d like to focus on. The first time I used it, I about forgot where I was lol It does cost money, but invest in your own well-being and happiness.

by Msulanjaku

I meditate daily, especially during the night before going to sleep and saw SlowdiveMeditationMantra showing on my facebook feed. I was very impressed with how nice and clean the design is and just love all the features it offers. The only suggestion I would have for the developer and pointed out on other reviews, SlowdiveMeditationMantra should offer a 7 day trial for people to see if this works for them.

Personally, I oped for the lifetime fee and I have zero regrets. Just love it.

Seems like a cool app, but it crashes while I’m starting up and have to restart my phone to get back into it.

SlowdiveMeditationMantra keeps crashing on iPhone 12 during setup.
