The Mindfulness App Reviews

by Dtuss

I was really excited to use TheMindfulnessApp, right before buying a years subscription, I saw that the only way to login to your account is through Facebook. The developers response to that was less than reassuring. Too bad too, some of the meditations are guided by well known names in the field.
By not offering an email login, they are alienating possible customers. I have multiple devices and iTunes accounts for work reasons, so just not logging in (as suggested by developer) won’t work.
I guess it’s more important for the developer to have whatever personal data they can get from Facebook, because this certainly isn’t a for their customers convenience!

They sent a notification with a link to “half off” their normal subscription price, but when I clicked through to see what the offer was I signed into TheMindfulnessApp , it just automatically charged me. They took $65 & so far chasing down a refund through customer service for a week has got me nowhere. They sent me a link to an article on how to request a refund through iTunes- I did that & still nothing. This is a lot of money to me right now & ironically has caused me a lot of distress & anxiety. Just being ignored by their “customer service” has shown me TheMindfulnessApp is not able helping people, it’s about getting their money. So Disappointed.

Still no help from them & no explanation about the notifications they sent that did an auto sign up without showing the cost. I’ve never had another app do anything close to this. It’s terrible to think an app teaching mindfulness is being used to take advantage of people.

I rarely feel compelled to give a review, but TheMindfulnessApp just does not deserve an average rating of 4.7 stars (especially when there are so many others!). Try 10% Happier, or Calm, or Headspace before you try this one.

I recently purchased the monthly premium (very glad I didn’t do annual!) and quickly realized there are a lot of bugs. It looks nice at first, but use it for a bit and you’ll find them. For instance, I couldn’t even see a list of the sessions in the course I chose. I also tried adding it to my favorites and it just plain doesn’t work. These seem like pretty basic features, no?

I emailed support about two weeks ago asking for a refund... it’s nice they have a support feature built into TheMindfulnessApp , but would be nicer if they looked at it...

You all need to make sure that you are always able to add in as many unlimited amounts of features to this type of app in the sense of always being able to post up photos, videos as well as any other forms of media in general that would actually be able to help to demonstrate the ways that all types of users of apps like this type could always be able to learn about the ways of always being able to balance out any forms of stress that they all ever get regardless of the level of it and the ways that they all could always help make themselves as strong as possible to fight whatever it is that they all ever fell the need to fight from within and everything. All of the forms of media mentioned way earlier in the beginning should always be translated into as many different worldwide foreign languages as possible.

I’ve never meditated before I got TheMindfulnessApp. I honestly did it for 3 days straight and already felt a more positive energy within me. I do highly suggest doing a one month trial basis before dropping 60$ for a year because it allows you to get a feel for what TheMindfulnessApp has to offer in the sense of the style of the teachers and what your goal is. TheMindfulnessApp has a variety of courses and the reason I am writing this review is because it has almost every topic that I wanted to go see a therapist for so I’m trying this first cuz it’s way cheaper. I am always working on self- betterment and this is honestly a great app for everyone to include in their lives some meditations are short 5min and others can last for about 15-20 but you get to choose what you want to do so it fits to your schedule. I personally do mine right when I wake it starts my day off in a good, focused, and controlled mood. Try it out for yourself! (Only reason I didn’t give TheMindfulnessApp a 5 is because I just started using it and haven’t completed a full course yet so I’m not 100% sure if it has the ability to actually create the shift in myself that I’m looking for)

I am so grateful for this mindfulness app. I was considering purchasing a meditation timer, however when I looked at the cost I didn’t see any in my price range. Some of the things I most appreciate in TheMindfulnessApp are the ability to create a customized time span for one to meditate. The ability to set numerous reminders. As well as the various sounds one can choose to meditate to. I also appreciate the various guided meditations offered. Basically there are a good amount of features in TheMindfulnessApp for free that can assist in ones dedication to meditation.

I downloaded TheMindfulnessApp because there was a partnership with the club I’m in at my University, A Moment of Magic. So far, i’m really enjoying TheMindfulnessApp and trying add a session to my nighttime routine. I hope more members from my club download TheMindfulnessApp so they can experience the peace and calamity that it brings me before I go to bed each night.
TheMindfulnessApp is really nice and well put together. I enjoy each sessions in the trainers that lead them. Although I am new to TheMindfulnessApp , I have liked what I have experienced so far and can’t wait to see what else there is that is offered!

First of all, I must admit that I find the idea of using an app to meditate is a bit silly, other than a timer with a bell, as people have been meditating without apps for millennia. Nevertheless, I’m now using other apps that connect to the new Apple health, so I thought why not use an app that feeds into it. Aside from several apps that are ridiculous in complexity and price, this one looks a bit more reasonable and usable long term.

The first few uses were good, except it added a new dimension to meditating: constant eye-rolling at some of the cheesy phrases: “find a position with dignity”, “offer your breath back to the space”...etc. “Congratulate yourself”...Congratulate yourself after a retreat - not 5 minutes of meditation! I realize that any meditation app will be made by new agers, but I find it distracting from the task at hand. I recommended that the narratives be tested by people who like to meditate with a minimum of woo.

I will persist in using this when I am not using the simpler “mindfulness bell”.

So meditating and being mindful is a struggle for me. I downloaded TheMindfulnessApp by chance. I’ve listed to similar apps that have people who’s voices are not soothing. The voice is everything when using meditation apps. TheMindfulnessApp found the perfect person to do the meditations, her voice is soothing. She’s like a kind, loving voice nurturing you.

TheMindfulnessApp has been a great addition to myself-care routine. I love that I can adjust how long the sessions are. Right now 3 minutes works great for me. I hope to build up to longer. Thank you for such a great app!

Mindfulness is helping me focus on myself and get away from all the craziness going on in my life at the moment. My son is addicted to drugs and alcohol. His girlfriend and baby mama is an addict as well. I spend a lot of my day worried about my new grandchild and her safety. I have a very stressful job and I just need a calm few moments in my day. I have days where I use my mindfulness app 2 or 3 times a day. Thank goodness I have TheMindfulnessApp. I know it will help me stay in touch with myself and my positive energy.

I’ve been using TheMindfulnessApp for a week or so. Some days i have done multiple meditations throughout the day, other times just one short meditation just to squeeze something in. I’m very very surprised how good TheMindfulnessApp is. The teachers are known and trusted meditation teachers. There are also lectures you can listen to, if you’re a podcast junkie like me. Super pleased. I have started with the one month subscription to see if I’ll stick with it, but all signs point to yes.

Most important for my rating is the fact this application has given me no glitches, bugs, or problems.

I don’t use a lot of bells and whistles, though there are a large number within TheMindfulnessApp , some are included, others are for purchase. The features of customizing my practice is most useful to me; so much so, I have been using this application for about 3 years now. I also recommend to my clients.

Highly recommended

Such a large variety to choose from especially if you opt for the full yearly plan which is extra. However I used the original one for years. Multiple voices to choose from as well as times. Some of the 3 minute and other short ones like the 5 minute body scan are perfect when brain needs refreshing. I just close office door and use them to reset attention and focus and stress levels.

I love TheMindfulnessApp because it relax me because I’m doing my coping skills and because I have autism spectrum disorder and I have anxiety because even if something’s bothering during the weekdays and my brothers and my dad bother me I could always do my mindfulness app to relax my anxiety and my health and my heartache and if my dad asks me a million questions I could go to a different room or my bedroom and lock my door so that my dad won’t come in my bedroom so I can do my mindfulness app for my coping skills

I've had TheMindfulnessApp on my phone for years. It did a good job giving easy bite sized guidance for a beginner. I'm still a beginner because I lack consistency. But I do mindful breathing often. I rediscovered TheMindfulnessApp today and it's even helpful just to listen while I'm doing other tasks. It help me find my anxiety, examine, and calm it.... even when I'm not actually meditating. I'm struggling right now. I woke up with anxiety and was so happy when I remembered TheMindfulnessApp. I'm less paralyzed and more productive now.

My 17 year old son and I suffer from generalized anxiety and have our whole lives. I used to meditate with my husband, my sons father, when we met back in the 90's.
Time goes by, we had a child, full time jobs and at some point stopped doing it. I always did yoga but the meditation that had helped me so much just sort of faded out of our schedules.
TheMindfulnessApp has reminded me how important meditation is in our daily lives.
Now, my son and I do one of your guided meditations every morning before school. The doctors want to put him on medication but we're going to keep trying this as it clearly is helping him tremendously at this time. Awesome app! We love it!

I bought TheMindfulnessApp to help me relax at night so I could sleep. It seemed to help. Only recently, however, have I started using it regularly after listening to a Moth story. The storyteller is a Meditation instructor. She talked about her first meditation class in which they just focused on breathing for 10 minutes. She couldn't and neither could I. So I started using the s app. Now, I can draw myself back to the present from m wherever it may have strayed just by focusing it n my breathing. It's great.

TheMindfulnessApp has been such a savior in my life since I have started my journey to love myself and living and enjoying living in present . The apps are all so amazing, i look forward to doing them everyday and sometimes several times a day just to keep me humble and grounded and mire important having gratitude fir all that i have gone through good and bad. TheMindfulnessApp has literally everything and also Masterclasses that are really amazing . I don’t usually write reviews but TheMindfulnessApp has everything and has changed my life

by Satiwise

I have taken formal study and training in mindfulness practices and meditation over a number of years and hesitate in construction of a review. Practice is a personal event and really, no technology is required. Still, with existence in that which is considered a productive life an app such as this has been helpful. Though not indicative of a complete documentation of one's practice, though possible, TheMindfulnessApp aids in provision of focus and grounding in practice. I enjoy unguided mostly, but am refreshed by an occasional guided meditation. TheMindfulnessApp has withstood time in providing quality in practice. I just use the first version (blue) which works well in my path. Enjoy.

I’ve been using the Mindfulness App for a few years now and it has helped me learn to meditate. Some days I use guided when my mind is going crazy and some days I use the nature sounds and sink into it.
I love TheMindfulnessApp and also love the different time frame choices of meditation sessions it offers. Some days, when pressed for time or I feel antsy, I use the three minute session and it works for me. I highly recommend TheMindfulnessApp.
