Confused

The dot disappears after a couple of minutes. The whole screen is covered so I’m not following anything. Then it tells me to close my eyes. For how long? It never tells me to open them so I peak. Im going too fast is in the screen. How am I supposed to see that with my eyes closed?? And I could just put on some zen music and move my finger across the screen of my phone and it wouldn’t cost me $1.99. Don’t waste your money
Very helpful in today’s society

I suffer from a lot of stress and am dealing with blood pressure issues. This app while incredibly simple is also very effective. It gives me a chance to just calm down during the day and bring my heart rate down. I really needed this. Thank you so much.
Is this real !!
Mh.Nb
I just move my finger around screen literally !!! and i can do it without this app !!!!!!!
I use this daily.

This is one of the best and simplest meditation-on-the-go apps I’ve used. I’m hoping for an updated version to take advantage of my iPhone X screen, please! ?
Mindfulness at hand

I've done mindfulness work in a lot of settings, but I don't often have time or the structured environment to really settle down for a long stretch-- but I still need that pause (apt name). Yes, this is very simple, but I appreciate that; it's what I was looking for. If you do want something more complex, then this may not be the best choice. What this is good for (for me): tense moments during the day when I need a breather. The first time I used it, I was frustrated because I felt like the blob expanded too fast, like it was giving too many directions, etc. I realized that was my mind focusing too much on the details of the app and being distracted from mindfulness practice: once I let all that go and let myself fall into the soothing aspects, it worked beautifully. Your degree of satisfaction may vary depending on how much you're willing to let go of focus on design details and drift I to mindfulness practice-- and that is purely an individual preference. It is too bad that there isn't a brief trial period or demo so that users could see which side of the line they fall on before paying. My best advice is to ask yourself whether or not you're typically bothered by function or if you can set that aside.
Great for showing people what meditation is and convincing them they need it

The word meditation seems to have acquired a reputation for having to do with mysticism and woo-woo nonsense pseudo-spirituality, which is extremely inaccurate and unfortunate. This app makes you do something that naturally puts you in a calm meditative state, and in doing so shows you how much you benefit from it. For people who are already good at meditating this may not be all that helpful.
Good idea but iPhone is not the right medium

Having to keep your finger pressed to a small screen while you’re told you’re going "too fast” or “too slow" is not terribly relaxing. I really like the idea of the blob, but I think an iPhone is too small an interface for this to have it’s intended effects, and the commands are too strict. Contact should not be mandatory. Ultimately you end up staring at your phone like one already does all day, focusing on having to force your finger to remain in contact with a device that’s not exactly a signifier of peacefulness or mindfulness… I felt like I was worshipping a smart phone.
Don't waste your money

I tried and paid for this. No. Just no. I'll stick with Headspace. Great write up, got me to purchase but no. Close your eyes? How are you supposed to track a circle w eyes closed? -1
