I haven't personally tested this out yet, but it seems like a great app for people that want to get into the habit of meditating.

This looks interesting, I'm on Android and can't test it out but from the description it sounds like an app I use called Insight Timer ( this one is available for both Android and iOS).
I like the community aspect, you can see how many other people around the world are meditating at the same time, listen to guided meditations, join groups, friend and message -- between the community and the tools for tracking of the habit it does help to keep the practice consistent and when it comes to awareness knowing that people all over the world are doing the same thing adds value.
That being said, Insight Timer could use a facelift (they have been making small improvements lately) -- where this app seems to have a much nicer design aesthetic.

@NathanSudds Development for Android will start soon. I will be curious what you will think of it.
Co-Founder of ZenFriend here, thanks for the mention and comments! Sorry for being late, I only found out accidentally through Google that we were on PH! Now I understand the weird spike in downloads that I couldn't explain before :)
Being a huge fan of RunKeeper, I've basically set out to build something similar for my meditation practice. Yes there are similar apps, but nothing that really excited me. So I set out to build a product that I would love and use. The current target group is very limited: we do not address beginners like Calm or HeadSpace, we focus on people who are already meditating. In fact we already have several "graduates" from HeadSpace or Calm like Joi Ito: http://aware.media.mit.edu/post/...
Currently we have 3.4k Monthly Active Users and about 400 Daily Active Users. While our average rating is 5 stars, we definitely haven't reached product/market fit yet, especially in terms of user onboarding and retention. So we keep iterating.
By the way, here is our dev log with lots of inside information and real data, I hope that other mobile entrepreneurs can benefit from it:
