Too slow
there are times where the narrator takes 45 seconds to simply explain a basic concept, and other times where they ask a ton of questions to try and understand where iâm at. id rather have an option to select iâm a beginner/intermediate and have some direction, but not 45 seconds of explaining what the definition of gratitude is. after receiving the definition, the dude just kept saying relax and barely talked for 3-4 minutes, i got so bored and couldnât relax because nothing was happening, why wasnât he leading me towards gratitude?? some sessions work great but others are a complete waste of time and makes it hard to want to do it daily. iâll probably start working towards doing on my own or finding a content creator that does a better job and is more focused on what i want. 3/5 and i definitely wouldnât pay for the subscription had it not been free for a year

Still took money for the subscription I cancelled months ago
I downloaded this app months ago and found it unhelpful so I cancelled my subscription and never looked at it again. Surprise - they have just charged me $106! Unethical billing practices. Iâm not a fan of businesses that charge people even when theyâve ended the subscription, so my advice is to avoid this one.

I was billed an annual subscription without my notice! And what makes things worse is that they offered me a free trial and then made me pay for an annual subscription with full price that will end in a month! So, not only was i scammed for my money with the excuse of "A free trial" i can't even get the full 12 months that i was forcibly paid for! I emailed their customer support demanding a refund and to cancel my subscription but there has been no response yet...

Fantastic until it wasnât
The app was great, everything that I wanted in a meditation app until I finished the Foundation 1 plan and then kept running into issues, namely that I couldnât seem to access my family plan or referral, and couldnât set up the free year or even pay for the following year as part of my family plan. Wouldâve loved to keep going with this app, but I canât access it anymore so I will have to download an alternative.

So much talking. Voices are annoying, breathy and almost condescending. Hard for me to get past the Stepford Wives tone and style of speaking used by the coaches. It's like a wrestling coach is on quaaludes. I see why they are giving away a free year. Seems like they have a lot of options for customization but I'd say working through being triggered by the voices is probably the best practice this app has offered me so far. Ha.

What a joke
I already set up my goals. The first time I opened the stupid app, then it makes me go through everything again, so I just start tapping through the screen because I didnât realize it was making me reset up all the goals, until it was too late. Thereâs no way to reset your goals or change anything so even though I took the time to set it up correctly the first time itâs now on who knows what and canât be fixed. Not to mention, over the first 10 Meditations they treat you like youâve never meditated in your life and donât know how so itâs very frustrating to sit through a few hours of stuff youâre 100% uninterested in

The app doesn't work. As soon as you open the app, and it lands on the first page, if you select "Start your free year" it crashes to desktop. Samsung Galaxy S22

Why charging money
Why do you need card details if it is free for 1 year. You still ask for card details to access features
