Melly - Focus, Meditate, Relax Reviews

by Jmbreviewer

Overall, Melly is super simple and easy to use. Minimal options keep time using it focused and useful. Earning karma encourages me to meditate as often as I can, so that’s a great feature. My only issue is that I cannot change or edit the session intentions in the event that I mislabel something. Additionally, I did not initially realize that I could pick old intentions if I meditated for the same reason, so I have several intentions that are almost exactly the same thing. The ability to edit the list of intentions and/or edit the intention once the session is completed would make this perfect for me.

I love Melly. It’s so simple, but it does exactly what it’s meant to: relax you and reduce stress. I have severe PTSD, and even just a minute or two of using Melly makes a difference I can feel. I kinda wish there was more to do with it, like more creatures to put in the garden or more little cube guys.

My only actual complaint is that I can’t find a way to restore my purchases. My previous device died, so I had to download my favorite relaxation app on my new device, but I had purchased a lot of karma and bought decorations, so I really need to find out how to get back my progress.

Note: The sounds are especially wonderful: when I had it set to play rain sounds, I actually thought it was raining outside and causing Melly to sound more real. Nope: it was all Melly , just using the speakers on my device. Very cool.

I love Melly and how you can do it just about everywhere. I love the idea of a karma incentive. The time customization and breathing technique is really helpful. It helps me calm down, boost up, and reflect. One thing that I do think should be changed is that there should be a setting where you can turn off the display of the timer. As a person with ocd, numbers and counting trigger my anxiety. It would be really nice if you could “hide” the countdown. I think that would help users suffering from ocd, plus allow you to stay more in the moment of meditation.

Melly is so awesome and fun, because it helps you meditate and relax, and it adds a little game. It helps soooo much, but I do have 1 suggestion. I bought a few decorations with karma, and I was left with a few karma. So naturally, I wanted a refund to buy something else. (I'm sorry, my choices are not that great. There are so many cool things to buy!) I went back in the shop, and there was no way to do that. It would be so cool if you guys could find a way to get refunds of karma in the game. It's already the best app I have ever had, but I would be so very thankful! I will re-rate five stars if possible!
Thanks a lot!

Edit: I don't need this anymore, as I have already unlocked everything (more items?), but others may need this. I will change my rating to five, but the suggestion stays up.
Thanks again!

by Hi, Hello!

Ok, so this is a really great app! I love it and I could say nothing bad about it! It helps you meditate and focus. But I have a suggestion, please please please say you can refund things or something like that. Or maybe like the creatures that visit your garden you can keep as a pet. I know you may be like: oh this is a mediating app, then i have a idea! Maybe the pet can help as a stress relief pet thing? Also one last thing to say, the way to get more karma is by paying, and the prices for the karma isn't even at a bad price! It's perfect, i haven't bought any only because i want to earn those karmas! Thank you if you take these suggestions! ❤️❤️❤️

This the best app for sleep I can never seem to go to sleep but last night it was so easy I was listening to rain I think and it was amazing I love Melly and it’s also a little game because you use your karma to buy stuff and you get karma by listening to something and focusing on it. If you have sleep problems I would definitely get Melly. When I’m going to sleep I listen to music or asmr but it doesn’t help but this does I love this ik I said it a lot but it’s true, I’m going to bed soon and I’m going to listen to this and I bet I’ll fall asleep in an hour which is early for me but Melly just makes me that tired

This is such a good app for meditation! It really helps me be calmer and makes it easier to go to bad at night! It's also a really cute game and if you have anxiety before going to sleep Melly will totally help you go to sleep and not be as stressed. Melly makes me feel like I'm getting a better mindset. I really love how there is a little note to right about something you hope or can achieve in the month it really makes me feel better to say it but I think there should be a bit more space to right. Overall I really recommend Melly to ppl that need a little more relaxing time. ❤️❤️

I have been in therapy for years (off and on), and have been told that I need to meditate by therapists, psychologists, and medical doctors, but I have a very hard time relaxing and clearing my mind due to anxiety and hyper vigilance (a common issue for people who are survivors of abuse, sexual assault, have PTSD, etc). Melly is the first thing I’ve come across that actually works and helps me to focus on my meditation and tune out my disruptive thoughts. I would highly recommend Melly for others like myself, who have difficulty tuning out their thoughts and surroundings.

I’ve been struggling with social anxiety lately and i usually find myself lost. Then, i remember that i have Melly. It’s so stress relieving and peaceful! It really makes me feel free and powerful, like nothing can stop me from achieving my goals. It makes you want to do even more meditation! The decoration aspect adds a little spice, so that you can see what you’ve created. I’m glad to be able to see the meditation tracking, because i’m working on meditating every single day. I honestly don’t have any fixes. Melly is perfect!

I’m not the yogi type. I have ADD and insomnia and I never would have ever expected myself to stick to a meditation routine but here I am! I’m using Melly 6/7 days per week and it’s not even an effort, I am looking forward to it! I love the graphs that show me how much I am meditating and setting my intention is great as sometimes I use this to destress, other times to sleep and sometimes just to relax. I’m pretty amazed by how many hours I have clocked in a month. It’s the only thing that gets me off Reddit before bed.

You know how sometimes you just want to meditate and concentrating on your breath instead of listening to experts telling you how to meditate. Well Melly is perfect for that. You are given a zen garden, with beautiful moving graphics to set the mood for your session. The animation and attention to details in this garden are so beautiful you can even meditate just by observing it. App settings are simple, very easy to navigate and most importantly, designed to help you meditate with no extra frills and guest speakers.

Sometimes you just need a few minutes to concentrate on your breathing and Melly is perfect for that. I love that there are multiple options on breathing techniques, I would like there to be some more options but I’m still giving it a 5 star because it’s helped me relax, feel balanced and feel mindful. If you have a hard time being in the moment then I highly recommend Melly. I hope it works for you as well as it did for me!

I have been using Melly the last couple of weeks and find it to be very effective. When I need to focus on a task I use this as a timer and it keeps me from wanting to touch my phone. So those distractions are gone. I set my intentions and can keep track of the time spent on them. I would like to see a description of each of the items you can get with karma, some of the items look familiar. Thanks for a simple yet rewarding app!

When my stomach’s really churning and my thoughts won’t stop racing, there are only two things that I can count on to calm me down every single time, and one of them is this app’s “calm” sound. The rest of it with the decorating and karma points is fun, but I seriously can’t stress how much both the sound and breathing exercises are perfect for anxiety. Worked me down off of a panic attack once, and off of smaller attacks uncountable times. I fully recommend it.

Such an awesome app. So glad I found it. Wanted to provide feedback on the "shuffle garden" feature - note the "share feedback" button in settings doesn't work, so I'm sharing the feedback here: when you go to shuffle garden, I was under the impression it would move your decorations around to different places. It doesn't do that. So I'm confused on the point of the "shuffle garden" feature. Thanks, and great work.
