Wonderful!

I like the female voice. Not synthetic like in other apps. Awesome brief daily introductions to how to meditate. And statistics but also reminders that this is not a competition or ending task. I have not tried any of the in app purchases though. Oh, and programmable reminders are great too!
Incredible tool

I use this app daily, or as often as I can, to start the day with a five min guided meditation. I love it

Have used many many times over past few years. Easy to use. Like silence with bells at intervals. Don't leave home without it.

I like that there are meditation options....silent of various lengths, guided free versions, guided options to purchase through app, and then you can also personalize. Pretty straightforward.
Fantastic App

This is a perfect app for beginners or experienced practitioners. I really like the soothing voice in the guided meditations and the instructions are very helpful. The only criticism I have is that the statistics are inaccurate. It seems you can't get credit for more than one session per day and when you practice offline. I suggest a fix for that problem.
Mindfulness App Review

This otherwise excellent app has been and still is plagued by bugs that make it basically useless. I. The problems/bugs that make this app useless: I had been using the app successfully for about a year without any problems. I was delighted with it, and originally gave it a 5 star review. At some point, possibly an iOS upgrade, the app started freezing on me in the middle of meditations. This was especially bad during the silent meditations and it eventually became useless because instead of focusing on mindfulness of breath, I was focusing on wondering weather the app was frozen. II. Uninstall/reinstall and other attempts to fix: I uninstalled and reinstalled the app, which caused me to lose all my historical statistics. I really hated that because I had over a year of statistics, and seeing my progress and how much time I had under my belt was really a way I kept myself encouraged. The uninstall/reinstall did not help. The app still froze frequently during meditations. I contacted support and they were fairly responsive but they had no fix. Their only suggestion was the uninstall/reinstall, which I had already done. Since this freezing problem started, they have released two or three new versions of the app. Because I liked the app so much, I had high hopes that each update would fix the problem, but none of them have. After uninstalling/reinstalling a few times, applying updates, and installing a completely new version, I have pretty much given up on this app. I'd give it 1 star, but because it's so great when it actually works I'm giving it 2 stars. III. Changes to the app from one off purchases to a subscription service: When I first started using the app, after purchasing the app you could use it forever for free and then purchase additional meditations for $.99 each. One of the upgrades changed that so that you got all of the meditations and courses, but there is a yearly subscription fee. IV. The Excellent Features of this app: The "Getting Started"meditations are a very helpful introduction and orientation to beginning a mindfulness practice. The"Guided Meditations" are an excellent way to learn how to do mindfulness. The times can be gradually increased as your skill develops. Finally, the "Silent Meditations" are fully customizable way to carry on your mindfulness practice. My favorite feature of the app is the statistics. You can see how many meditations, the duration of those meditations, the cumulative amount of time and number of sessions for each week, month, and year you have been practicing. This is a great help in keeping you motivated and seeing your progress in how your practice is becoming more skillful and regular. V. Conclusion: This was a fantastic app, and by far my favorite meditation app until it started freezing up. Now it is completely useless because instead of meditating, your mind wanders to wonder whether it is frozen. If the developers can successfully resolve the bug that causes freezing, I will gladly give the app a 5 star review. When it worked, I liked it so much I would have given it a 10 star review! I'm not sure how the purchase is working now, but my suggestion would be to try it if it is $.99 or less and see if it works for you. I would not recommend putting more than $.99 into it, much less purchasing a subscription, until I was absolutely certain that the freezing issue had been completely resolved. END
