Just missing one thing!. I really like the guided meditation but I wish there was an option to have background noise so it isn’t completely silent. I find that my mind wanders more when there is no background noise/music.

Not free. As a physician, I used to recommend this app because unlike other apps that had “free meditation” but only allowed 7-10 sessions, this one was truly free. Now it is way too expensive for me to recommend, or even for me to want to use myself. At 10 minutes per session, it was a great introduction, gave a good variety of topics, and was very relaxing. All of the positive reviews are from before the “update”. I agree with all the negative reviews after the update.

Stressed Illinois Dude. It's a meditation app that doesn't demand that you submit your email address or make monthly payments. Such a rare and mysterious thing! So far, I dig it. If you've ever been curious about the benefits of mindfulness, give this a download.

Disappointed. The app states that it is “completely free, without ads and subscriptions”. I was able to use it yesterday, and now this morning I can only choose between two subscription options, and can’t otherwise access my previous progress. Very disappointed.

Please read developer. I have a mistake i download this and when its done i open it and tap what stress i have and then i click play then it says pay and then i click pay because i tought there will be free but i click trial and saw the price free and then i bought it and then when i bought it it says i will be charge in 3 days and i was so shock and please remove the charge because I didn’t play it and please im so sorry

Beth Kurland, Ph.D.. As a clinical psychologist and teacher and practiioner of mindfulness, I am always looking for apps and other resources for my clients. This app is by far one of the best apps I have come across for teaching and practicing mindfulness! In just 10 minutes a day, people can practice mindfulness, and can learn how to bring it into their day. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for ways to reduce stress, experience more presence, and cultivate well-being.

DO NOT USE. as you may know these types of meditation connect to some parts of your brain that you may not have access to them and they might take control of those parts and secretly make you do things or change the way you think.

Disappointing and Expensive. I am not a able to reach them at all to ask them about the charge that was made. The email they have appears to not exist.

Use on my commute. I use this on my commute every morning. I love it! Please keep this free as I will be unable to use if I have to pay for it

Non-existent customer support, priced too high. I have never left a review for any app, but I felt obligated to do so with this one. I downloaded the app to try it out for free for 3 days but I cancelled it before my trial ended. I still got charged for an entire month so I tried contacting the Present team through every single email I could find but to this day I have not gotten a single response. To make matters worse the app is not even working for what I was charged. For an app that is priced so high, their customer support should be great but it’s non-existent. Still trying to get a refund for an app I cannot even use!

It’s like I won the lottery!. I got hooked to guided meditation 2 years ago. I’d been on the hunt for a new app because (come to find out) I’m very specific about my needs. This app delivers alll of them! 1-It’s simple to use 2- The guides voice is great! It’s not squeaky and high pitch. No accent or lisp. It’s assertive yet calming. 3- You can choose from a variety of packages. I’m in!!! And here to stay! Thanks to the creators of this app. It’s much needed.

Not working at all????. It won’t open! At all! It’s completely frozen on the loading screen and I can’t do anything about it! This app doesn’t make me more calm at all, and, if anything, it making me even more anxious! I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling but nothing’s working!

Awesome!. Honestly does a good job of keeping me focused, and relaxed. The jokes were pretty good, although it could be better.

Wasn’t for me and waste of money. I’m so sad and angry at myself right now 😢 I downloaded the app and signed up for the free trial on January 30 to see what the app was about but after browsing I found that it wasn’t for me so I deleted the app off my phone and I forgot to cancel the subscription right away. Right now after waking up I saw my card was charge for the subscription fee and I can't really find a reliable number or email to contact support

Latest update made it no longer free. The app was decent though occasionally crashed. I installed the latest update in the hopes of a less buggy version. Instead the updated app is no longer free- there’s a 7 day free trial and then you have to pay. I’ve uninstalled it.

It stopped in the middle of the session. Somehow it it stopped in the middle of the last session. Although she stops talking for a few seconds I continued focusing on my breathing but after a number of minutes I realized something was up. Looking at the app could see it had stopped.

5 star rating and why. I love this app so far i tried day 1 meditation for stress and Anxiety and it calmed down my anxiety to relaxing stage i cant wait to do more sessions of meditations

Best app ever. I have only done one class and it was the best ever try this app it takes just 10 minutes trust me it is not a mistake

“The Science” part of the app does not open. Really great meditation app for steadily building a meditation practice ...good instruction and technique progression ...However, the section on The Science, presumably regarding Mindfulness Meditation, does not open for me.

No support. Disappointing, liked it enough to pay for a year, but I had to remove the app and reinstall it to my phone for varying reasons. Sadly, the app won’t allow me past the home screen to activate for a free trial, so it’s was unusable from month 1. The problem is with the company and support entirely, as they refuse to give me a refund or properly address this issue. Essentially threw away 60$. Awful company. The product otherwise would be a fun way to get into the habit of meditation, If you can use it.

What happened?!. This used to be the best app, I told everyone I knew about it! USED TO BE. It used to be free and promised to stay that way- but lo I went to meditate today and my app is u recognizable, I can’t even get into the meditations I’ve been working on but instead an prompted to pay $11 for a week or $50 for a year. I’m so so aggravated, not least b/c I recommended this app to all my friends and family.

Simple, easy to learn, free! Thanks!. Appreciate the fact that there is a way for me to begin and learn the art of meditation for free! Thank you so much for offering this app. So far I have completed a handfull of sessions and they are very easy to understand and clearly explain the steps and short enough that I can do them on a quick break at work.

MAKING MEDITATION A HABIT. This is the finest app on meditation around. It eases into your practice one step at a time. The instructor voice is well suited and the information is timely. If you get one app, THIS IS IT! Most of all it is FREE! Let's change the world one student at a time. Thank you.

Became a paid app without any warning.... This was my favorite app until the update today. You must now pay $12/month or $60/year to use this app. They do not even allow you to complete the “basics”. Deleting for the feeling of being cheated out of nowhere.

“No subscriptions..no ads” - No Truth. Very disappointed, just started using this after attending an in person session from the author just a few weeks ago where it was advertised as no fees. After using it for two weeks now it is pay-to-use. No warning, no option for existing users. Clearly her right, but a pretty big let down. I’ll look elsewhere. The App Store images still say “No Subscriptions No Ads”

Helping with Focus. Since I have been using this app my focus has become a lot stronger. Learning things like data development has become much easier for me.

This is awesome. I think this is the best meditation I’ve ever had I think people that have stress or just really want to learn meditating should try this app and if they don’t like that’s fine find another app

When patience isn’t your forte....;). This app got me to meditate! Sitting still is not in my skill set, and this app got me to focus and breathe. Love it! A must try for anyone looking to add a little calm and peace into their day! ❤️

Does a great job of keeping me focused, but.... Ever since I got this app, I loved how aesthetically pleasing this app is because of the font style, and the whole design of it! I like the narrator, but I would prefer if it was multiple people instead of one female doing all of the sessions. Don’t get me wrong, I feel it’s great to have consistency, but it is nice for a change that the narrator is switched up a bit. Also, I like how this app does a good job of keeping me focused on one thing, however, it is getting a bit repetitive only focusing on the breath and not other things.

Disappointed. I LOVED this app prior to the update. I am very upset that the app updated to only premium services, without any warning for its users. How can you change your "completely free" philosophy overnight? I unfortunately cannot afford to pay for a recurring meditation subscription. I was so happy to have found this app, I just wish I had been able to use it more before the change over from free use. I did not want to leave this bad review, but I never heard back from the developer when I contacted them. Please consider a limited use free version!

Three days in and loving it!. Unlike other apps which, in my opinion, exploit people’s need for mindfulness and peace through in-app purchases, this app is truly peaceful for both me and my wallet alike! Definitely give it a shot!

I can’t cancel my subscription. When I got the app I was very happy to see a free three day trial once I hit the button it said I could cancel the trail whenever. However I’ve searched the whole app and haven’t found a button that does such thing I feel cheated and scammed and want to cancel it before I have to pay for this over priced meditation service app. If I can get a real answer to my problem I would take the one star back and give it a solid 4.5 because I love how the app works just I feel used and feel like you really don’t care about the customer and just the money we give you.

Glad I pay attention. Deceiving trial period. This app looked very pretty.. but you won't get anywhere unless your agree to subscribe or do the trial, which I hesitantly accepted. The cute little button will tell you that is a 7 day free trial, HOWEVER, when you have to approve the download from the app store (when you put your fingerprint) it states that it's a 3-DAY trial period. If you're not paying attention and set your reminder to cancel close to day 7, you will already have been charged. Not cool Present staff, not cool.

Amazing App for Meditation. I have just started using this app and it's amazing. It starts you off with the foundation of meditation and builds on it which has been helpful . The lessons are about 10 minutes long which works into my schedule nicely. I would suggest this app to anyone interested in learning about and practicing meditation.

Great way to start meditating. I have bought other meditation apps before but this one is my favorite. The speakers voice, the content and the way you unlock next levels are what sets it apart!

Love it!!!. Her voice is soothing and it was amazing how she spoke right when my mind was starting to drift.🙂 Plus it’s free! Not just a trial. So happy I found this!!!

So sorry. Can I absent at paying the bill?? I’m now deleting the app. I don’t have money. I lives in another country Myanmar. Did my purchase end when I delete the app?? I’m so sorry.

Love this app. What a blessing to find this app! It helped me to find inner peace and it calms me down everyday. All sessions are completely free and there's no stress no pay for anything. Thank you so much for this great app!

Charges but doesn’t deliver. I purchased the seven day package and my credit card was charged, but after day 3 the app doesn’t recognize my purchase and says I have to pay more to access the recordings. There’s no “help” option in the app.

Not free! Very expensive.... I was loving this app (and so was my 13 year old daughter) until it suddenly stopped being free. Not sure why a paid app with NO FREE CONTENT (nothing! zero! nada! zip!) advertises itself as 100% free with no ads and no subscriptions. If you want people to pay $12/mo, say so. Don’t do the bait and switch thing! Not happy!

Feeling betrayed. Downloaded the app for the sole purpose that in the description it said “no subscriptions” but the first thing that pops up when I open it is subscription information.... I’m just looking for some good meditation that I don’t have to pay for.

Get some ZZZs. I got say, as a user of headspace, I was skeptical of a free meditation app. But I find my self using this app on plane rides for work and actually falling asleep. I can't believe they are not charging for this, the meditations are just as good as the best apps out there and the interface is far superior.

Great. It is nothing less than it says it is it’s so relaxing and perfect for quality meditation seekers.

Wonderful for Mindful Based Meditation!. After completing a 2 month intensive Mindful based meditation class last year, I've been looking for an app to continue my practice! I just got started but can tell this is exactly the tool I need! I love that it sends you reminders to help make it a priority each day! So happy to have found it!

LOVE this one. the voice and meditations are great! i love the visual aesthetics as well. my favorite meditation app! EDIT: I am confused, however. Was using the app and got a msg saying if i wrote a review, then the app would be free for me forever. since i genuinely love the app, was happy to do so - seemed like a win-win. but then i was charged anyway, despite that promise. that was disappointing, to be told something untrue like that.

Request. Yeah..So I need robux and it has this quest to download this app and run it for 30 secs but it needs money and I can’t get my robux so please make it free now

Peaceful. This app helps me to relax and feel more peaceful. It does not take too long which I like.

Good meditation. The speaker has a good, calm voice that is well suited to directed meditation, but I do wish there was an option for appropriate music in the background. Very approachable and easy to do.

Not Free And Pricey. Not only is this app no longer free, the subscription fee is extremely pricey. I don’t mind paying more for quality, but $12/mo or $60/year for an app is crazy. Why not offer a free app with basic features and charge a reasonable amount for premium features? Also, it appears my history in the prior version is completely gone, so I would have to start all over again anyway. Very disappointed and bummed.

Not free anymore. I downloaded this app a week or so before the new update and seemingly lost the progress I had made thus far. I went to open the app as usual in the morning to meditate and was brought to a screen that I can’t get out of without signing up for a subscription either billed monthly or yearly. I sent two emails to the email address they provided right here in the App Store and still haven’t heard a response. This app used to be “subscription free” and allowed access to many different meditations but now you must sign up! It still states this is an app with free meditations which is why I’m giving it two stars. I hate to give it a bad review, but I haven’t gotten an email back in about a week and found they have no consideration to those who were already using the app.

Bad game. I haven’t even played this game but because of what people say I will not download the game

Useless , it ask you to purchase from the veery beginning.. This aaps is waste of time. I hate it

Cancel renewal not working. They are scamming us i tried to cancel the renewal because i wasn’t satisfied but it won’t let me plus the price isn’t worth

Crashes. On day 8 and so far most sessions have crashed after a few minutes.

Not free. Even tho it says it is. And in fact it doesn’t even work at all

It’s free!. Which is itself a miracle, but the app has no ads and is 100% the real deal. Very helpful.

Great app - loving the journey!. New to this app but am quite enjoying it! Recommend for anyone looking to start their home meditation practice, or those who need help getting back into it!

Wow. I haven’t even downloaded it and I’m looking through the comments...people hate it...I’m considering uninstalling it now. 🙁

Good. Bad

Video-game-ify your practice. Beautiful design and thoughtful instruction. And free? Get out of town!

No!. I loved this app so much before when it was actually free, but now you can't even use it without paying a subscription fee! It was the one meditation app where you didn't have to worry about cost! Please make it free again! Two thumbs down!

Free is great. Sometimes completing a meditation doesn’t take and you have to do it again and fast forward to the end. But no real complaints.

Expensive. I changed my mind about this app. I had trouble opening it until I got the iPhone version for my iPad. Then when it did open, I got 3 free days, and $51 .99/month! Good lord. I know I'm in Canada but really? No thanks.

STUPID APP. THIS APP IS SO BAD AND ITS VERY DISAPPOINTING, I DOWNLOADED IT FOR FREE ONLY TO FIND OUT YOU NEED TO BUY A SUBSCRIPTION?! THATS MALARKY SMH. WISH I COULD GIVE NO STARS.

Useless. App doesn’t even open on my ipad

ليبيا. 0914949692

Dumb app. I can’t even open the app

Gave me stress. I was excited to try it, but you can’t try any of the meditations until you finish the basic training... which is longer than 3 days. So you don’t get to try the app at all. Please update it to a free month or week, 3 days is NEVER enough.

Not free suddenly. I downloaded free and suddenly everything change to money! But for developers

Hmmm. Too expensive!

Disgusting. If you download the app they’ll bill you anyway, even if you don’t want to subscribe.

is buy hard cash year. hint Only sleep

Not free. I used to love this app. They updated to a subscription service with no warning and subscription is too expensive so I will not be using anymore.

Relaxing. I love that this app is free! It's intuitive to use and the graphics are lovely.

Thanks. Aswesome words I really needed it

What??. Uh, it won’t let me pick a pack at the beginning.

No preview without free trial & expensive. Sorry but if you can just give a few free things away to test out the app then by by, too many other good apps to use. Plus $30 a month? That’s crazy money

ridiculous. Tries to force you to pay

Subscription. My subscription is in free trial but won’t cancel. I’m going to sue you guys if you don’t cancel it

App. I downloaded this app to see what it is all about but I deleted it because it needs you to pay hope you make it free

Amazing until it was no longer free. Header says it all. After the update, the app gave the options for its top purchases in a year payment or monthly payment for continued use.

Don't subscribe. I did the free trial. It's practically impossible to cancel. You send them an email. Then they try to pretend they never got it and will try to charge you. Submitted a dispute with apple

Great app. Helps me a lot

All thanks. Nice application

Doesn’t work. Just downloaded the app and all I get is picture that appears to be stuck. ???

NOT FREE ANYMORE. I was OBSESSED with the app before it suddenly was forcing me to pay. One of the main reasons I loved the app so much was because it was high quality meditation sessions and it was FREE. Now, it is just like the other meditation apps that I was avoiding. Please change back!

Failed big time. Previously I had given 5 start review but unfortunately after the recent update can't even access the app. The UI is horrible please rectify this.

Premium Issues. I downloaded this app and deleted it a long time ago but somehow it shows up that I have signed up for premium, when I had it everything was free, and now I’m being charged $60 to my account.

Pleasant. The narrator has a super pleasant voice and it is aesthetically pleasing.

Not free. Before updated version you said it would be free forever. Now why you make it purchase app ?

Funk this. I don’t have Apple Pay and I can’t use it for a minute without any money😩😩

Guided Meditation App. Great quality sessions. All free as advertised. Good stuff. 👌

Me. I used this app and it is and still amazing

Sleep. Much needed. Helps with serene meditation.

Good app. This is a very good app if you are looking for relaxing and meditation!!!!

From war robots. War robot thnx

Great!. Its good but i need to offset the ratings.

New. It was a good first start

Works. It really works guys my back burning went away !

Not free apparently.... I downloaded the app, but all a got was a brief intro dialogue on stress that ended in "let's begin" then proceeded to bring me to a page asking me to buy a subscription. Why do you claim to be free when users can access 0% of the content without paying. Deleting this app.

It’s great. It helps me fall asleep

Helps with stress and anxiety. This app is really helpful to me because I get anxiety attacks most frequently and it’s not the most pleasant thing to endure, but when it comes to this app I feel safe and I can finally relax and just forget about all of my troubles in the world and it help me with aloe of the stress built up inside me, and this app is really helpful, so if anyone reads this, keep reading. Please. I might not be the brightest, but I do know some people think that running away from their problems is okay, and yes I am still talking about this app, because this app helps get rid of our problems that we sometimes put out on other people, I might be saying a lot of stuff that sounds like an adult, but I’m only 11 and I’m saying the truth about every feature and helpfulness this is app is, and it’s really important for me to get the stuff off my mind before going to school. I mean on Monday, it’s my first day of middle school and I don’t know a lot of kids there, but if I ever get stressed out I stay calm until I get home and I get on this app. I might sound boring, but for some people, reading about another’s thoughts that are similar to their problems helps them feel like they are not alone. I’m not saying this because I know it’s true, I’m saying this because it happens to ME and I don’t really like reading a lot, or making a long review on an app, but, if it comes to helping people with their problems, I'm all about it. So I hope the people who are reading this feel like they are not alone, cause I have been trying SO HARD to help someone who is struggling with their problems like I have been. So if you are reading this, thank you for listening to my information and I wish you all a happy adventure through your life!!! <3 😊😊😊😊😊😁😁😁😁😁 P.S. You all might not thing you look good but I’m just saying, your beautiful just the way you are and you don’t have to change anything about you to get friends, cause I will always be your friend!!!! 😁😁😁😁😁

Meditation for Dummies. I’m just starting to practice meditation. As a beginner the voice in the app is easy to follow and has a calming presence. I love this app.

Review from a graduate student. The appropriate rating for the Present-Guided Meditation app would be a 4 out of 5. The reasoning behind this rating is that, given that while the app itself is free, the in-app purchases that are required of the user may become another expense that the user may not afford. Not only this but because there is no lifetime subscription base, it limits the individual to seek out other apps that may offer better in-app purchases or content overall. In utilizing the app, for the three-day trial, I found that in stressful situations I was able to disengage (safely) from the situation and focus on my breathing, that being said I am a 23-year-old. If this app is listed as 4+, the pace at which the sessions move is too slow if one does not have the time and these sessions last at least nine and a half minutes. Not only this but because the app allows the user to exit and continue to use their phone or iPad, it defeats the purpose of a guided meditation, especially in adolescents who are utilizing this app alone. According to author Kristy Kowalske Doss and Lisa Bloom, in their article, “Mindfulness in the middle school classroom: Strategies to target social and emotional well-being of gifted students,” the implementation of mindfulness for this age group in a 30-day trial allowed students to apply what they were taught to their outside lives and in doing so, the authors found that, “…the majority of student expressed enjoyment of the meditation sessions and two-thirds of the students described thinking sabout mindfulness outside of the classroom,” (Doss & Bloom, 2017). Thus if this app were to be introduced in a school where the teacher is the main user of the application, and the school district covers the subscriptions fee, children’s information is not jeopardized, and many can begin to learn new coping strategies to deal with their stressors that may be due to school or due to other environmental factors. Author Laurence Steinberg in his book Age of Opportunity: Lessons from the New Science of Adolescence, also discusses the importance of noncognitive skills, but focuses on determination and how this, “…is not cultivated through conventional academic instruction. Understanding what actually fosters it is crucial to helping children and adolescents do well in school, at work, and in life,” (2014). Therefore, if one uses this alone, the experiences vary as they would in a school setting, but allowing adolescents to explore mindfulness may prove to be helpful, and that can be done with this app.

Free you say???. What a crock of crap. I go to sit and meditate a bit and all I can do is subscribe or close. What happened to totally free and no ads??? I was willing to give this a 5 star rating until the update. I hate that I have advised friends and patients to use this.

I have cancel this many times an I keep getting billed. I have cancel this many times an I keep getting billed 8 bucks a week for something I would not pay that for i am so frustrated I’m about to cancel my Apple account an my credit card!!! Errrrrr

🤗💓. This is really helpful it helps you to be really calming and relaxing!😶

THIS IS NOT FREE!. Not sure what I missed but on the start of the app I am greeted by a “Premium Collection” that I cannot get past (which forces a subscription!) Please do not false advertise and waste time. If I missed something feel free to correct me. Otherwise, this was a waste of time.

Nice app. I love it very much

Thank you for the app!... Thank you for the app!!.....

Can’t even get a few free sessions. Can’t do anything until you sign up for a “free” trial. There are plenty of free and worthwhile paid meditation apps that are not afraid for you to see the app and offer free lessons.

Awesomeee. Great app for this when want to maintain and grow their levels of awareness

Voice. Calm soothing voice

Isn’t free. It says that there isn’t a subscription and that you wouldn’t have to pay for meditation, but it’s $60 a year or $12 a month.

Won’t open. Since I paid year’s subscription fee the App won’t work.

Bad. Asks me to rate the app before I've even used it then I find out I have to pay. 0 out of 10

Thank you !. Thank you for new for me expirians ! Was nice

Great place to start meditation. Very good FREE app. This is a great place to start using meditation daily!
