Chopra: Meditation & Wellbeing Reviews

Finally!!!!! I came across Chopra and wish I found it earlier. I tried other 2 meditation apps and didn’t like them. When I tried this app app out, I instantly fell in love. The meditation series are what suit me. I like how there’s some light music and sound healing in the background to help me focus and relax my mind, which is what I had when I had a good meditation session at my yoga studio. The other meditation app that I tried had absolute silence in their meditation audio and when I had to “come back” I was always startled by the narrative voice since they had no bell no music. I voiced my feedback to them but they said they did it on purpose so not to distract the meditators lol. Ok that app is not for me then!
Also, at this app, there’s tons of knowledge about Ayurveda. I’ve retained the knowledge better than attending yoga workshops or reading online material! I finally remember what the three doshas are lol. The assessment includes a short set of questions but the results are just as accurate as what I got from taking a 100 question quiz!
Thank you for creating Chopra. We don’t mind paying for good content that can improve our well-being! Please continue to upload new content to keep up with our consumption! I can easily go through few sessions in one sitting!

Loving on Chopra. It’s like the gift that keeps on giving. Before this this app app I used to get my meditations on InsightTimer. Finding something I liked on InsightTimer felt like trying to find a needle in a haystack - wading through all these different meditations just to find something- so much noise. But the this app app is quiet, smooth, and streamlined. The personalization is outstanding, I am getting content that I love and packaged in such cute little packages, like fun gifts getting delivered in different shapes and sizes with different colored bows. I feel connected to the PEOPLE on Chopra, like that they really care and are concerned with my wellbeing. It’s warm and cozy in there, I don’t know how they did it but I seriously It just feels nice to be in there browsing and reading. I’m in love with the Be Present series, The this app Method for Advanced meditators, the 10, 20 and 30 minute Mantras, and my favorite, which is
SO USEFUL AND PRACTICAL is the Emotional SOS Quick Fixes. I look up what I am feeling that is unpleasant, like today was Indecisive... so I listed to the quick fix for a 3 minute time out. Thank you to Chopra it is totally changing me and how I approach my day, the people around me, stroke of genius the way that it’s just all laid out I’m in love!

Chopra is totally worth having. I use it 3 or more times a day. Specifically the section on anxiety and stress management has helped me change my habits and thought patterns as now I have more focus and awareness about how I handle situations. When the pandemic hit us hard I thought I was going to
Lose my mind. I cried and had severe panic attacks that occurred anytime of the day. When this happens to people we have to seek someone outside us to help to learn to manage our stress so we can live peacefully again. Some people chose medication from their doctor along with therapy from a psychologist. I chose to buy Chopra as I am skeptical of meds and trying to find the right doctor for me is more stressful right now due to my stress levels. Trust is so important to me and this new approach has helped me.
It takes time and daily practice and you have to be open to this change. I am grateful to be able to hear Deepak this app’s voice and practice mediation daily. His voice is very comforting, honest and beneficial. I would like to share these meditation practices with others to help them with their issues.
Thank you this app Well. Namaste. 😘❤️🙏🏼

Oprah and Deepak through the use of technology decided to make an positive impact on the world using a method that has impacted their world, meditation. I think about how much I have grown since they first began 21 day meditation. So many days were skipped because I didn’t have the discipline or the hunger yet for the practice. Now I can do a 21 day meditation not missing a day with ease. And if I do miss a day I don’t feel like a failure. I don’t feel like a failure because I meditation is now a part of my life. And through meditation I practice law flexibility. I’ve learned so much! Because I have learned so much the people around me have learned so much as well. And that’s the magic! Every action echoes and has a ripple effect. If someone is discovering 21 day meditation for the first time I strongly suggest just keep at it. Oprah and Deepak I am so grateful for you and this 21 day meditation, and everything else that you do to uplift and expand yourselves and others. Peace, Love and Harmony.

I have purchased several of the 21 day meditations throughout the years. And I haven't had any issues accessing them after the change to the iPhone App. However, now I have to wade through an app that is telling me what all I REALLY need, if I’ll only pay the subscription, to get to them. In addition, the meditations used to be able to be played and then I could flip back to the page with the thought for the day and the mantra written out. Now, I must stay in the page with the meditation counting down and I cannot flip back and forth. I am really frustrated with this!! I spent a significant amount of money for these mediation series and now I can’t enjoy them the way I want to. Often times, I have to stop the session and flip to the written page to see how a mantra is spelled or to read some of the daily thought. That stinks! And the lovely photos that accompanied the meditations are gone and replaced by a fuzzy pic of Oprah and Deepak.....really? As others have said, if you are a new subscriber, I you may think it’s great. But as someone who has already invested quite a bit and enjoyed accessing the meditations with the lovely scenes and ability to flip out and read while listening, I’m disappointed. And frustrated with the hard sell to purchase Chopra . I just want my meditations with the prior options!!

I am receiving so many messages that I needed to hear. I highly recommend subscription to The this app App. There are a lot of meditations to choose from. I choose according to my mood or according to whatever is sparking curiosity. I’ve enjoyed the choice to do a guided meditation or a silent meditation with music. The series of conversations about the election really helped me process my feelings and thoughts about the presidential election. It was perfect because it helped me face it rather than spiritual bypass the election and how I felt about it. I would even recommend listening to that series now that the election is done. I also really like the meditation for feeling worried. I felt the relief of the weight off my shoulders. I like the singing bowls too. You can easily make a list of your favorite meditations by hearting ❤️ them. If you have previously purchased the guided meditations with Deepak and Oprah they are automatically transferred to The this app App.

Meditation can become so difficult sometimes when so much goes on in our head. It’s refreshing to have guides that know what they are talking about to ease those thoughts and bring a sense of calm through present awareness. I’m deeply grateful for everyone at the this app center who participates in this mobile app and I recommend it to new comers as well as those that have been meditating for many years. I’ve been drawn to Deepak and I consider him one of my Gurus, one of my guides on this life path. Roger sings great and is such a wise man. Devi is amazing as well, so uplifting and you can feel her energy radiate. Beautiful team. Thank you for the variety of meditations available at anytime, for the expanding vibration.

With love and blessings,
Violet D.

I have subscribed to the 21 Day Meditation Experience since it’s first offering. I have purchased 14 of the meditation programs and have benefited from them for years on my Mac. I would like to inform you that I am extremely disappointed your decision to change over to the iPhone app. This is an inconvenience and is not what my preference is, nor what I paid for. This was an expensive purchase from day 1, and it is unfortunate in these times of technology, that you are not giving your customers a choice in how they want to enjoy this experience, and limiting it to an iPhone app. I feel sorry for the people who have androids and have to wait until it becomes available to them.
I was considering buying 3 more of the programs that I am interested in, but I am rethinking whether I should spend anymore money when I am no longer happy with the way it is being offered to me. There are so many other on line programs and although this has been superior in my eyes up until now, I may choose to spend my money elsewhere or take advantage of all the free on line programs.
In my opinion ... this was a big mistake and you may have lost a customer.

I am a life long fan of Dr. this app’s work and am most grateful for his shared wisdom and the practical benefits of his many books, classes, and programs.
I agree the new this app App is a valuable step forward in technology, but am disappointed that it was not fully developed before it’s launch and the shutting down of the previous meditation app. I had purchased many 21 Day Meditation programs because I (was) able to download them for offline use, taking them with me into nature - away from WiFi and cell towers. As the new app provides streaming only, the value of my previous 21 Day Meditation purchases has been diminished. The fine folks at this app Support have told me they intend to remedy this but it has been near three months since the previous app. was closed.
My library of Deepak’s audio cassette tape programs are still more portable!

I really enjoy the this app app. There are so many meditations that it is possible to do a different meditation every single day. Most meditations are guided, but there are some that are unguided for those who prefer pure silence or music. I enjoy the guided meditations. Devi and Deepak are my favorites. I meditate in the mornings, sometimes at night and in spur of the moment when I need to work through an emotion. ✨✨Update: it's been over a year and I still love Chopra. If you could, please add a function so that users can filter by the person. For example: If I want a meditation guided by Devi, I want to be able to see all of the meditations that Devi guides in the library on Chopra .

Update: After a bit of a lag time between my two emails to customer support, I did receive two replies, one was generic and mediocre, with the other offered detailed instructions for how to restore my purchases. So my experience with Chopra has been hit or miss, your mileage may vary. The mediations themselves are very good.

I’ve purchased several of the Deepak/Oprah meditations, which I love. The nee app seemed to assure me that those would be available.
I even tried it out to make sure, and initially they were their in the first page. I like the simplicity of the other app, because I’m not interested in a subscription to all the other things, but I could still access what I purchased so no big deal.
I went in to meditate to one of my favorite 21-day experiences and can no longer find them! Just things that are locked (which I don’t want anyway) and a button to subscribe. I can only see ONE of my meditations on the last screen, and that is because I favorited a particular session. The other programs I purchased...no clue to how to find them.
Hoping this is some sort of bug and not that I’ve been ripped off.

The new app is missing its most important feature - the ability to listen to conservative meditations. In the other app, I could listen to several or all meditations in a series as I fell asleep. Or, when sick, I would just go through several of them. Most importantly, as someone who suffers from boughs of anxiety, I would close my eyes and listen to as many as needed while say flying or driving through tunnels. This new app only plays one at a time. I can’t even set it to repeat. I’m going to have to find a new app which is terrible because I’ve loved Deepak and Oprah. This new design is terrible. At least I should have been given the option to keep the original. I’m not asking for a playlist but i shouldn’t have to open my eyes and reset to listen to consecutive meditations in the same playlist. Whoever redesigned this doesn’t have insomnia or anxiety or talk to anyone who does.

Please fix ASAP!!

The day I downloaded the new App and browsed the layout, I didn’t like it. I loved the original design and didn’t want it taken away. The next day I thoroughly explored Chopra . To my amazement, I realized that it was artistically and masterfully designed for ease of use - which intrigued me-with an array of newly featured offerings.

I have been meditating with Oprah & Deepak’s 21 Day Meditation Experiences since 2014. Each one I’ve purchased over the years, have help me overcome many difficulties, obstacles, and negative habits in my life. I’ve learned so many valuable lessons and techniques that are offered via the this app Center Meditation. Your meditations have helped me immensely. Thank you 🙏🏾.

I’ve been joining the this app group for meditations for several years now. I’ve purchased a number of packages and signed up for this new app and service when it came out. Seems a useful way to access purchased meditations and I appreciated the greater flexibility when a new free one came out. The daily meditations and topical offerings are somewhat limited, however. Sometimes they really don’t apply and are of no interest. At best they’re short and easy to fit in to my day. But I don’t feel they’re really deepening my meditation practice. Yet if I’ve done a brief meditation, it’s difficult to motivate myself to find time for more. So, I find it useful but it’s not meeting all of my needs.

I felt compelled to share since tools like these are so important right now.

I think I’ve downloaded every single meditation and wellbeing app that exists... but in the end, I keep coming back to this one.

For me, it’s all about the wisdom that’s embedded into every meditation, and the fact that I know I can rely on that wisdom because it comes from world renowned experts. And that is extremely important during a time when there are so many self proclaimed, and frankly, fake experts in the wellbeing space right now.

I feel like every meditation takes me to a higher place, a place where I’m held accountable to be my most grounded self and the lessons embedded at the beginning of the meditations help create new ways of addressing my daily challenges.

There is something extremely unique in the way these meditations are crafted... I can’t really describe what makes them so special but no other app compares.

Oh and Deepak and Devi have the best voices in the meditation space and that makes a huge difference!

Besides the fact that 75% of the content on Chopra is behind a paywall-of which you are reminded everywhere-the real disappointment is that the meditation programs that I have paid for are now inaccessible offline. Why should I have to be connected to the internet to listen to a meditation that I “own”? I used to be able to download it and listen anywhere. Not any longer. In addition, the Journal feature is not available on the phone app when it was before. I have to go to the website version to access content that I have created, instead of having it where I need it-in the meditation program on Chopra , where I use it. I’m sure Dr this app has made enough money to create a platform that allows me to use the content I’ve already paid for in the way I want to. Can hardly use the programs anymore because I’m so disappointed.

UPDATE: and now NONE of the 21 day meditations are available through Chopra . They've completely disappeared. I've reached out several times. No response from this app. I've sent a complaint to the BBB.

If you want spiritual and mindfulness teachings from theives, this app should work well for you.

Update 2 on 2/1/21: BBB says this app did not respond. Ask yourself this: Is this the place you want to get your training with mindfulness and spirituality? I would not base my practice on teachings from dishonest people who run and hide from questions concerning basic, decent behavior.

Forget downloading anything you purchased from this app. That feature was removed in the new app. The journals are gone too.

Taking features away that were paid for is bad enough. Taking them away during a pandemic speaks volumes about this company.

The 21 meditations - 20 minute meditations each for $50 wasn't a bargain to begin with. They've made their last sale with me unless they decide to cross back over to ethical business practices. I purchased several meditations. I expected to own what I purchased AS it was when I purchased it and not a rental (journals) that could disappear and/or change to remove access at any time! Frankly, it's worthy of a class action lawsuit.

I purchased the meditation bundle and as a bonus was given access to the this app app for a year, though had not desire for it or intention to use. My intent was to purchase the Oprah/this app bundle only. However I recently accrued a charge for another year for Chopra . I missed the cancelation prior to renewal bc it does not show on Apple subscriptions. So beware if you are intending to purchase the meditation bundle. You have to specifically go into the website to cancel when you buy the bundle. After reaching out to customer service requesting cancellation and refund on the charge- which was done the day I saw it processed- they were adamant that no refunds were allowed. I did not want Chopra . I did not/nor plan to use Chopra . I should not have to pay for Chopra . Questionable business ethics in my book, ironically from a company promoting ‘enlightenment’…

Paid $69 and subscribed, because I absolutely love all the meditations Chopra has to offer. Roger Gabriel has most of my favorite ones. They make such an impact in my life. BUT Chopra is absolutely TRASH! I’ve had so many issues with not being able to access meditations, after paying for the subscription it still tells me that my profile subscription is inactive, sent multiple emails and whenever I call no one picks up. I WOULD DEFINITELY SUBSCRIBE AGAIN, once they fix all of the bugs with Chopra. I hope that’s soon, but for now I’m getting my money back.... :////

Overall, I like Chopra a lot—especially the clean interface and use of mantras, which I find helpful for quieting a busy mind. However, sometimes the instructors will spend 10 minutes talking about an issue before the meditation actually starts, and that’s not what I’m after every time—sometimes I just want to meditate. And I find it’s hard to tell from the names and descriptions what a given option will be in terms of the talking/meditating ratio.

For that reason, I like the timers with mantras. However, I find their organization in the menus confusing. It would be helpful to move the timer + mantra meditations under “Next Level” and the timed meditations under “Timers and Music” to the same place. This might be a mistake?

This is just what I need. I have tried other meditation apps, but this one offers a curated selection of only high quality meditations. When I chose the category that I was most interested in, it was as if every meditation spoke directly to me! With other apps, I am so used to spending 10 minutes sifting through possible meditations to listen to. With Chopra, I can go right into my meditation, no time wasted, because I know the meditation will be high quality and just what I need!

With everything going on it’s been a stressful time. I feel like Chopra really is helping me connect to myself and what’s important in order to balance out. I’m less stressed, sleeping better and overall just feeling better. I like that it has so many different kinds of meditations and it seems really thoughtful to me in terms of my whole well being. Definitely recommend

Enormous variety of beginner and advanced content. There’s also options for unguided and lightly-guided meditations! If you’re trying to turn things off before sleep or to destress, Chopra works wonders. I’m excited to dive into the more spiritual material as I get comfortable!

Wasn’t really a big Deepak this app fan but Chopra and the J.Balvin 21 day meditation have turned me into a believer. Thank you for being inclusive of Spanish speakers, diverse and inclusive.

So much easier to listen to the meditations with headphones and get in the zone than just trying to sit and make it happen.

I was really moved by the sessions that Roger does. He is wise, soothing and the voice I needed right now. The music for sleep is cool too.

this app is doing great things for the world. We all need joy, peace and meditation more than ever.

Thank you.

this app ki jai 🙏🏽

I’ve used a few mediation apps before, this one is great bc it allows you to customize your goals and then select from a variety of practices that align with them.

Love the Deepak x Oprah meditation challenges and excited this now came out!

Everyone should spend some time in Chopra if they want to feel better about their total well being. Deepak and his team are masters in this space of peace, calm and balance.

I’m excited this app finally has an Ap. WOW! I’m incredibly impressed by the content & extensive offerings. So many meditations and articles accessible at the tip of your finger. Stunning design & content. Incredibly grateful.

The ease of use and user-friendly toggles make Chopra above the others. The aesthetic is gorgeous too! This is going to replace 3 other apps I have now! Love the content, music and personal touches. Well done this app!

I have been searching for tools to help me build an intentional self-care practice, and Chopra is perfect for that! I love that the guided meditations help me start my day with a good, positive mood. So relaxing!

Chopra has brought balance and peaceful moments to my everyday life. With a variety of different meditations and exercises it truly has something for everyone!

Meditation app personalized for your unique needs. Chopra is a game changer in the wellness world. The recommendations were spot on and made my morning wellness routine exciting and something to look forward to!

Wow! Chopra is everything you need all in one place! Easy to navigate, and so pretty to look at. I can’t wait to use it to keep me consistent 🤓 Namaste 🙏🏻

So excited to have so many quality meditations in one spot. This is definitely the best meditation app out there.

I have always wanted to learn how to meditate. Chopra makes it very easy to learn and has other amazing self-care tools. Thank you this app!

I have never mediated and Chopra has already walked me through some super fun and basic steps to feeing more relaxed and in control
