There are better mediation apps out there. – Ten Percent Happier Meditation Review

First off I looked up all these 5 star review histories on iTunes and all of them seem to only review this and maybe a few other apps this month so it leads me to think that they are all connect to the makers of this app or Dan which is a really unethical way to get people to download this. I've heard Dan speak before and it seems that he only believes in meditation because there's science to back it now, otherwise he would've never gave it a chance. There's nothing wrong with that other than the fact that he's pushing the popularity of his book to get people to pay 10 bucks a month for a mediation app when there are much better alternatives out there like Calm, and headspace (founded by an actual monk), which Dan actually uses. This seems to be more of a general mindfulness app that shows clips of how to be more mindful, but I'm sure all of this type of content can easily be found on YouTube. The mediation sections seem to be very basic and it just loads the audio without putting any effort into designing a interface to look at when you start and finish. There's actually one part where Dan asks Joeseph a question how mindfulness helped him in a certain difficult stimulation on the spot, and you could just from the facial tell that he had to say how mindfulness prevented from getting angry which might not have been the case. If you are a skeptic and going to spend 10 dollars a month on a mediation app, please don't bother with this one! Either use the free Stop Breathe and Think app, or use the 7 day calm/take 10 day session with headspace. Unlike this app you will build a real foundation on how to meditate well as long as start by doing a little each day.
