I was a little skeptical at first but now I'm hooked. Ideal for beginners but also useful for old timers like me. If you're already doing some type of mindful meditation or breathing this can be used to add some new focusing elements to the practice.
- Brona Molnarovait's only impossible until it's done
This is the first and only app I pay for :D Sometimes it can feel like a chore to do stuff that is good for you and this app takes that away for me. I teaches you gently and pleasantly and Ive been able to stick to it and understand more about how minds work. It helped me stop biting my nails.

Great product to get focus in a world of noise
- Frederik Waller3Product @ N26 · WrittenGreat alternative to Headspace with more free content available. However, I have to admit, the narrator from Headspace is better and more relaxing.My favorite one! I started my meditation practice using Stop, Breathe & Think. It helped me to relax and manage anxiety and stress. I believe that it's perfect for beginners.Anne-Laure Le Cunff11Entrepreneur · WrittenLove this app I've recently discovered. They did a great job with the web app too so you can use it anywhere.
- Fiona CartyProduct Designer ✧ Founder
I've used this product since I was 17 (3 years! wow!) I've tried other meditation apps but honestly, I always came back to this one.
I never thought I could go beyond a 10 minute guided meditation, but now find myself meditating for sometimes even an hour.
Meditation changed my outlook on life, and has helped tremendously through periods of stress in my life. It's all thanks to this app.
- i used it for a couple of mothns and i must say it is fully costumazible and relaxing

After hours of watching this Laptop screen, a better treatment to mind and soul is required.
And with Calm I enjoy this peace of mind.
- Liz FunkFounder of And We Evolve
I love Calm. I've always struggled to adopt a steady meditation practice, but Calm makes it easy to form the habit!
- Gaurav Agrawal18Coder, Thinker, Curious observer · WrittenI personally used this, Its has smaller sessions, which is best for beginners, other then meditation sessions it has very focused sessions for different stress moments.
- I was in search of a good meditation app this past weekend and landed on Meditation Studio. I like how they have guided meditation separated into different categories like stress, sleep and happiness. The guides are broken up into downloadable audio tracks that can easily be deleted. Another bonus is that it tracks your progress under the MIndfulness category in iOS' Health app.Andrew PelusoMarketing Director · WrittenSimple. Basic. Helpful. A nice variety of meditations and voices to take you through a meditation.
- Alec EllinCo-founder, Laylo · WrittenLove this for going to sleep / can't sleep meditationsVery simple, especially for sleeplessness. Only complaint is categories are hard to discern in the dark, making navigation harder than it needs to be.

If you like Headspace but don't want to pay a monthly fee, try this out!
- Mario MendozaDigital Strategist, Hip Hop Distribution · WrittenI've been using this app for 146 days and love it. The guided meditations offer various playlists to explore such as meditations based on stress relief, sleep, chanting/mantras, and mindfulness just to name a few. It also has a nice timer that can let you just explore your own meditation practice as well. The stats section is nice and motivating when you see how many consecutive days you have been practicing and what time was dedicated. I was also very impressed with the community. When you finish meditating it offers a list of people across the globe who were meditating at the same time as you, which is really cool. You can "thank them of meditating with me" and potentially become friends.Brendan BeirneProduct / strategy, Joojoo · WrittenFunctional, straightforward meditation app with community and guided meditation features.joshua bradleyCelebrating people, making life better. · WrittenWhile it has more features perhaps than some of the others, the wealth of guided meditations ensures that meditation at any level is available with guidance from some great teachers. Also, I would suggest trying to get in on the beta for Oak Meditation app by Kevin Rose. It is going to be a strong offering and is perfect for getting started
- Rene EscobarProgrammer. Runner. Noun.
I love this app. I've seen it grow from a wee little timer with different bells to a full fledge application with courses, timers, and a friendly online community.

Like the app, a huuuuge library with different sounds and music.
Love to work with sounds of rain.
- Alfredo TorresOwner, LTBP · WrittenIf you're a beginner, you still want to know why you should even meditate. Is there a point to sitting and breathing for x amount of time? Will it actually work for you? What are the real benefits? 10% Happier answers this in a conversational way. Like you and me talking, then meditating for a few minutes.

I have been using Brain.fm consistently since purchasing a lifetime membership back in January. I mainly use it during work (programming), sometimes when sleeping.

I bought a lift time membership and pumped I made the move. I find this really helps me stay on task especially if I've had a bad night sleep or an intense day.
- Beth Hudson3Social Media Marketer, Recruitee · WrittenPacifica is more of cognitive behavioral therapy, but they have guided and unguided meditation for free on the app, as well! I just think it's designed really well, and you don't have to make in-app purchases unless you want to.

- Jeff ByrnesWriter, AppAdvice
Some recordings are too quiet, while others are too loud. There's no integration with Apple Health's Mindfulness category, which most other meditation apps have adopted.
- Andrew WWeb developer in Toronto
In trying to sign up, the process would fail silently. I finally figured out that the app doesn't like one character usernames in email addresses, or four-letter TLDs, even though both are valid. The onboarding graphics were really fuzzy. I think they're scaled images? The developers have clearly never tested on an iPhone SE screen, as the UI is cut off (see https://d.pr/i/KSlfJ).
It's beta quality software, but I really hope these issues get addressed. It's a great concept. If well-executed, I could see it being a part of my routine.
- Pause makes it super easy to get over the initial hump of mediation. The initial experience is following a circle on your screen with your finger while listening to relaxing music. The action naturally puts you in the flow of meditation.
- I already used Headspace and Calm but find out that Inscape has some longer sessions with techniques that worked better with me.

- It's hard to get into meditation and develop a practice for it. Visualising relaxing environment helps get you there faster and is a good way to get into it.
- "Learn how to strengthen your mind, cultivate resilience, master your emotions, and pave the way towards a modern enlightenment." It's a no positive thinking/mindfulness/new age bullshit meditation app. It's meant to track your progress and guide you with short audio lessons unlockable by meditating.
