Unplug: Meditation Reviews

by LalaMarko

I have been using Unplug for over a year now. I originally got the 7 day trial in February 2019 and really liked it, so I bought the year subscription. I renewed it again in March 2020 and have never had any issues until this past Sunday where it had logged me out and told me that my 7 day trial ended. I tried to see if there was an update, restarted my phone and nothing worked. I wrote apple to see about getting it fixed or getting a refund since I have only been able to use it for 2 months. They wrote me back and confirmed that I have an active subscription but cannot get a refund now. They told me to contact Unplug developer for troubleshooting. I have sent this app support an email and hopefully they respond but this is really frustrating to pay for something that I cannot even use. I would like a refund for Unplug if it does not get fixed.

So when I first reviewed Unplug I sounded really stupid because I thought I was going to be charged money when I really wasn’t but I mean I’m 13 and don’t know much about the world so yeah. Anyway, I used the free trial thing which really isn’t a free trial because as I learned they don’t charge you afterward. It was really great and the sessions were really helpful but after my trial was over it was just useless, and because, as I said, I am still a kid and I don’t have that kind of money to spend. Even if you don’t want to spend money I still recommend you download it and see what you think because you do get a free trial and it’s a great meditation app and who knows you may even want to spend money once you try it.

I’ve tried several meditation apps. I liked this one because it had both hypnosis and meditation, and several different categories. However with regular daily use, I’ve found that the lack of ability to minimize Unplug and continue to listen is a huge setback. Why would I want to keep my video on, causing light, while trying to go to sleep? Please add the option to minimize Unplug and continue playback. Or add audio only files instead of all videos. In no way do I need to watch someone talk or the ocean for 15 minutes. I have my eyes closed the entire time anyway. Aside from that, I do find Unplug and the people helpful. But it stresses me out that I can’t minimize Unplug , which negates the purpose of using Unplug for meditation. Also, why add the ability to make playlists if they don’t continuously play your videos? You have to click on them individually to play them, which flies I the face of the entire reason for a play list - so you can play the audio/video you want without having to touch your phone at all. That just seems silly. Please make it so you can play an entire playlist, not just individual videos in a playlist.
Thanks.

I tried Unplug for a week and I decided to get the subscription. I like it a lot but suddenly it stopped working. Unplug says that my free trial has ended. When I try to restore my subscription it just goes back to the previous screen. I tried logging out, reinstalling Unplug and nothing works. I couldn’t find any way of contacting the developers so I’m writing here in the hope someone has an idea about how to fix this.
It’s very annoying.

After trying other meditation apps, this app is hands down my favorite. The majority of the meditations are 10 minutes (longer ones are available if you want them), meaning it’s very easy to find time to do them. They all follow the same sort of format so even with different guides there’s a sense of consistency I find refreshing. They have monthly challenges where they have a theme and a guided meditation for you to do everyday to help you accomplish the themes goal for the month. All the meditations are also organized into categories so if you ever have something specific you want to achieve you just type it in the search bar and it’ll pull up what you’re looking for. With Unplug I have managed to achieve daily meditation for more than 21 days in a row, something I have never once been able to do. It is 100 percent worth every penny.

Best meditation app I’ve used. I love that I can use Unplug on all my devices (Apple TV, iPad and IPhone) making it easy to meditate where ever I am. Working as an RN, alternating day and night shifts at a busy hospital I have a hard time falling and staying asleep. I’ve been using Unplug every morning and before going to bed off and on for the past 5 months. I fall asleep easy and stay asleep. I find it easier to deal with the challenging days ( less active mind and rumination), I’ve had decreased panic attacks and anxiety too. I love it so much I subcribed for 1 yr.

Love Unplug! After many years of trying to meditate, Unplug was just the help I needed. I have been meditating consistently (with the exception of a small lapse) since finding Unplug . I love all the teachers and being able to search by topics, time and more. And I really live the counter that cumulatively adds the minutes you have been in meditation. The founder of this company is a game changer and loves to help people. The this app app sure has helped me!

I have been using this about for about a year now and love starting my day of with a guided meditation! Simple and easy to use, this can help anyone get on the path to meditation! I have tried a few other meditation apps, but this quickly became my go to. I can honestly say I am a daily meditator and have only built that happen because of Unplug. Meditation is having a tremendous effect on my life and it all started here. Thank you Suze for creating this for a busy head gal like me!

I decided to adopt mediation as a habit to help me focus better and help with the anxiety/overwhelm I often experience throughout the week. Mediation has helped tremendously! this app is organized in a way that you can simply find a series of mediations based on what you need in that moment: stress relief, anxiety, etc!

Being new to mediation, I love that they have shorter mediations for beginners and 30 min + mediations as I advance in my practice! It’s perfect! Highly recommend!

by Bouyea

I love Unplug. I have the paid version and there are so many choices of meditations. Unlike other apps, I have found that most of the voices of the guided mediations to be soothing and calming. The mediations vary in length of time so there is one that fits whatever my needs are for that moment or day. I always had trouble meditating and find that, with Unplug, I look forward to meditating and make an effort to carve time out each day to complete at least one. It’s so refreshing.

I paid for a year subscription in April, and after a month I no longer had access. I emailed support and received an instant reply letting me know the issue would be addressed Monday (I emailed on a Saturday morning). I was very disappointed because, I have thoroughly enjoyed this app Meditation. However, by early afternoon someone emailed to say they were working on the problem. The support team had Unplug working again by that evening! I am really impressed by their diligence and commitment to ensuring access to Unplug . Thank you!

by Haily Roehrick

I love the this app Meditation app so much! I use it twice a day, whether that’s just the timer or a guided meditation. You can trust that every meditation on Unplug is pure bliss! There’s a meditation for every need, all different time increments, and so many beautiful teachers! I love that you can download meditations so when I don’t have service I can still use Unplug ! I have gifted Unplug to many family and friends and they love it just as much as I do!

by MaggsMC07

I honestly can’t believe Unplug is free. It has literally everything you can ever want to meditate about in perfect little categories. I love reading people’s reviews and how it effected them on each meditation. Unplug is literally the best and I’m grateful to have found it through BeachBodyOnDemand.

Edit: apparently Unplug is only free for the first week. I am so sad! It’s definitely worth the month to spend if you can, but it is a bummer because I was grateful a free app like this existed for the world to benefit from.

by Upintheears

I’m making a concerted effort to calm myself through meditation every morning & before I sleep at night. I’m a”busy-brain” type of person, so this is a challenge. I walk outside (weather permitting)
and that’s usually my “inner clearing”, but I want to do a better job of releasing the daily grind, so this is my chance to expand on the meditation front instead of reading the news from The Times first thing. I’m hopeful & my first session with Zel was pleasant & calming. I’m going to give this new start my fullest attention.

Unplug helped me start a meditation practice after years and years of trying. I love that it suggests new meditations daily and tracks your streaks (which make me not want to miss a day). The teachers are incredible. You can search meditations by topic, time or teacher. They have hundreds of traditional meditations as well as some unique ones for eating, sexuality (including LGBTQ+), hypnosis, travel, and much more. I love the sleep ones, sound baths, and empowerment. My favorite meditation is the one for empaths. I recommend Unplug to just about everyone.

I have been using Unplug multiple times a day since I downloaded last year. I have, as of today, meditated for 164 days IN A ROW! I never thought I could make it for week, but I love how it tracks things for you. It makes it almost like a competition with yourself so you don’t break your streak. There are SO many AMAZING teachers and SO many types of meditation to choose from. You’ll sleep better, be less anxious, be calmer, happier and less stressed. I can’t say enough good things about Unplug. I plan to keep using it every day. Thank you this app!!

I am new to meditation and I am coming at this at a later stage in life. I am retiring at age 67 in a few days and I found that instead of being calm about that wonderful opportunity, I was increasingly anxious about it. I was looking for local meditation classes but I live in a rural area where there isn’t access to high quality service (that I could find). Unplug is giving me that service at my fingertips. I am grateful for the quality of service and even in a short period of time, I am growing in appreciation of my life and how to peacefully navigate it and be a positive force for myself and others.

by Haidawn

This is probably my 3-4th meditation app I’ve tried & I really enjoy it! However I have a few ideas for improvement.

1. I love the in-app journaling, however I don’t see anyway to export the writing. I don’t want to waste my time writing if there’s no way to export it from Unplug to a pdf or .doc or something.
2. I think this is more of a suggestion, but being able to check off the mediations you’ve completed or having a way to differentiate them from the ones you haven’t even started would be helpful. That way you don’t repeat meditations before trying them all!

Like all things you get out of it what you put into it. But all the tools are here for us to find what it is that we need to take care of ourselves in that moment. There are meditations for almost any self care issue you can think of. You can find a teacher you like and just use theirs, you can do one of the challenges which will give you 30 days of meditations to go through they are usually short and simple to complete to start your day. You can find your favorite meditation and just do that one over and over. If you want to start your day in a positive way there’s meditations for that if you’re up in the middle of the night need to go back to sleep there’s meditations for that. I could go on and on but I am eternally grateful for Unplug.

The meditations on Unplug are high quality and from great instructors. Unplug is a no-brainer to me. I try to be consistent (and it’s much more effective that way), but even once a week provides me a tiny moment of clarity or peace of mind that is well worth it. Also it’s intuitively built and you can search by amount of time you want to meditate for, by instructor, or by type of meditation you’re looking for. And there’s a huge variety of meditations. Even sound baths!! Amazing value for the price as peace of mind is priceless! 💕

I’ve been using Unplug religiously for weeks now and love all of the meditations, but for the past two days I can’t access Unplug at all! It keeps telling me that my trial has ended, so I select a plan and it says I’m already subscribed but am unable to access Unplug . So frustrating!!! I’ve tried restarting Unplug and my phone, but nothing seems to do the trick. Can somebody please help??

by Owl Eyes Wellness

When I first started Unplugged Meditation i was struggling with anxiety, difficulty sleeping and stress from working two jobs and trying to balance life with my family and friends. I have been able to gain more perspective, find my breath and go deeper into what I truly wish to find in my life through my meditation practice. Having the emails come every morning to remind me along with a message is something I so look forward to. Grateful to have this practice to help ground me in a non-judgmental way. It’s been a gift.

by Chanel Nami

Literally, Unplug took away my anxiety. I highly recommend Unplug if you are stressed, need to be more focused, or just need a better nights sleep. There’s so many amazing teachers that you can meditate with and you can choose how long you would like to meditate for. I’m the mornings I’ll do a longer 15 min meditation but sometimes if I’m short on time I’ll do a 3 minute meditation. I used to have 5 diff meditation apps but I deleted all the others bc this one is my fav. I’m obsessed! ❤️😍💕

by Clairemclark

Love Unplug so much, the meditations are so beautiful and helpful!!! I have crazy anxiety when I travel and I did one of the meditations in the travel section (there are lots of different relatable categories) and I so so calm, almost asleep, when the flight took off. Worked like a charm. I do the “meditation of the day” every morning and usually another at night or as needed during the day. So great so many options can’t recommend it enough.

by RMK1314

Unplug is the only place you can find several of these incredible teachers, outside of visiting the actual studios in LA (which I highly recommend!). There’s incredible content around manifesting your dreams. None of the religious, incense’y stuff. (I like the incense’y stuff actually but it’s not for everyone.) It includes a meditation timer for free form meditation, which my other favorite meditation app does not. I love the meditations on Unplug!

by Kelly555!!

I used to be a super stressed out woman but then I discovered meditation. Unplug is fabulous because there’s so many amazing meditations. I like that you can search by time as well as need, like helping you fall asleep and helping to create something you want in your life. This should come installed on every phone so we can all be a little kinder and gentler to ourselves and others.

I use Unplug mostly at night to slow my brain down and get to sleep quickly. I’ve recommended Unplug to a lot of friends who are now avid users. I’ve also found that this app is superior to other apps based on their variety of meditations offered, the teachers, Unplug interface and the customer service!
