Awesome app! Totally worth the cost!!. I love this app! It makes getting started meditating super easy and relatable. There are some longer meditations but there are bunches of shorter ones. And you could always repeat one or for several in a row. And there are meditations on tons of topics(even bath time and sitting at your computer!). I love that the emphasis is basically just do what you do. There is nothing you “should” do or improve. Just get started, and see how you feel and change over time. They also have a spot to reflect on your meditation at the end of it. I think that helps remind you of how meditation can help you. Overall, they make it super accessible. I know it’s not free, but I do prefer the small up-front app cost as opposed to an ongoing membership fee. In my experience the membership fees add up over time to a much higher cost for the consumer.

Success!. I have been intrigued by meditation for many years but never felt like I could do it consistently. The ideas and techniques were either too ethereal or unattainable. I just didn’t understand how to practice. Buddhify gives practical advice and real world situations which allowed me to learn meditation and practice without the pressure. I love this app and had all of my kids install it for those nights when they are finding it hard to disengage the brain and rest. Take it from someone who has tried many other books, apps, lectures, etc on meditation, this is the best and least intimidating how-to.

BEST APP EVER!!. This is the best app I’ve ever purchased!! As a teen going through high school and the everyday trouble can be super tough and this app immediately relaxes me and helps me see bad situations in a different light. I also totally recommend it if you have issues with anxiety as they have specific meditations to focus on those issues and can help those overwhelming feelings go away. My favorite time to use it is before bed as the various meditations help you turn off your sense and calm your mind down giving you a deep peaceful sleep...12/10 would recommend buying this app it’s definitely worth it and we’ll be on my phone forever

Cannot imagine life without this app.... Started using the over 2-years ago and it started by helping me through some difficult emotional periods. Then giving me more and more insight into my practice. Now it's an important part of my morning routine. Wish its powers on fellow friends seeking clarity for your life... Updated version is broken in my opinion so have down graded from 5 to 3 stars. My biggest problem is that it now has to download an update upon start up. I wish it can be an optional thing. The long start up really makes the app less useful.

Best app I installed this year. I’m new to all of this meditation thing, but this app makes people get on going extremely easy and fast. After just a couple of day using it I started feeling more relaxed and calm. I’m still using it and will definitely be using it for a long time. One thing I didn’t like is that it weighs 500MB and takes ages to sync after installing. However, the benefits are still there and it is worth the space, time and money.

Too many issues too little variety. I’ve reviewed recently. You can’t family share this app. Many many of the meditations repeat each other. The kids meditations are too challenging and are more appropriate for young adults than for kids. When you switch from kids wheel to adult you have to completely close out. Worst of all, when you switch to kids, you lose your customized adult wheel and have to go back to a default or pre determined wheel. Very frustrating for an app that isn’t free. And this isn’t a low price exactly.

Didn’t realize how good it is until I tried a couple of other apps. I downloaded this app 2 years ago and I don’t remember why I chose to get this particular one. I did research the various apps and decided to take a chance on this one. I have been using it more or less regularly since then and used ever one of their options based on how much time I have that day or how I feel. There is something for all my moods and activities! A couple of months ago these ads came up on my feed for other mindfulness/meditation apps, I got caught up in their sales pitch and felt I was missing out! So I bought another app and another one. Suffice to say I have cancelled the subscriptions on those apps and kept this one! 👍👍👍👍👍 Please continue to build on this - you are doing an awesome job. Thank you 🙏

Wonderful meditation app. I found myself in a tough time experiencing anxiety and panic attacks. It was a friend who introduced me to this app and I can’t thank them enough! I had been introduced to mindfulness in the past, but find the app to be a useful guide. I’ve used it every day since I got it and per my stats, my average is just under an hour a day. It’s helped me wake up peacefully, make it through tough days, and calm down for sleep. I’ve been able to manage anxiety in its early stages using this app rather than turning to medication. Thanks buddhify! I do believe in your mission and plan to become a member.

A company that cares. A fine app from a company that cares. I switched from Headspace because of their expensive monthly fee versus an easy onetime cost for Buddhify. This latest version has so much in it and makes meditation on the go easy and convenient. The developers respond to reviews, take comments into consideration when updating, and really care about creating value from the app. You can read some of the background and history of the company within the app. I’m pleased to support this app and glad to recommend it to others.

Latest version has rendered it unusable!. This used to be one of my favorite, most used apps. After the update four days ago, the opening screen has a black text box show up at the bottom saying there is an update error and that connection info is not a function. When I try to play any meditation, a pop up tells me that it has not been downloaded. Once I download one, I am stuck in that mediation. The pause button and the button to return to the wheel are absent. I have to close out of the app to stop it. I also cannot change wheels because it says I need to log in, but even after a password change, I still keep getting another error message each time I attempt to log in. Whatever the bug fix was, it did the opposite and made the app completely buggy! I’ll be looking for another mediation app until this gets resolved.

Genuinely designed to be beneficial, not for money. I am not one to write reviews, but after spending a little bit of time of the app I started to notice how personalized and authentic every aspect of it was. This curiosity led me to read into the history of the app, and the dedication and hard work described in that section really shines through. There is not a single part of this app that doesn’t feel safe, open, and loving. I have personally never run into an app that makes me feel like the creators genuinely cared as much as this one has. Thank you for the time and effort put into this.

Love!. I love this app, please please add more sleep meditations! That’s the only time I really use it and while the options are really great, I wish there were new ones added occasionally so they didn’t get repetitive. Some of the existing ones have a very fast paced male narrator, not my favorite but no hate, but it cuts down the available options even more. Would love some variation, as they are so well done.

The best. Tried them all. This is my favorite. I could tell you all about how easy it is to use or the intuitive interface but the thing is that the meditations are directly applicable to the way that we live our lives. I started using the app for the anxiety-reducing meditations, but learned so much along the way about technique and myself that I now do a 30 minute solo meditation every morning and a guided meditation many afternoons. Deepak Chopra said that everyone should meditate once a day, unless you don’t have time. Then you should meditate twice a day. Get this app. And use it. It helped me change my life.

Love the meditations, but no music ☹️. I really like this app. I love all the meditation options, love that you can opt to just pay a one time fee and get a ton of features or upgrade and pay an annual fee for additional. My only complaint is that none of the meditations have subtle music or nature noises. This is SO helpful to block out any background noise, plus just helps me relax. Maybe this is part of the upgrade, but not having this as an option, is a real disappointment for this app. Takes it from a 5 star down to a 3 star. Even rain or white noise. It could even be optional. Unless I’m just missing something.

The best practical meditation app. ... and possibly just the best meditation app, period. If you’re like me and find yourself put off by New Age-flavored 30-minute long meditation sessions and just want to start learning techniques for enjoying the evidence-based benefits of meditation, this may be the app for you. It’s a practical approach to squeezing in a few minutes of meditative thought that doesn’t require sitting in the lotus position or intense concentration to feel accomplished. The app encourages very casual use—most meditations are around 5-10 minutes long, and can be done sitting, commuting, eating, bathing, with friends, and more. If you’re going through a difficult period or have mental health disorders, this app can help too. I have anxiety and am going through a period of major upheaval in my life, and this app has become an important part of coping. My favorite time to use it is at bedtime (very good at helping me relax and fall asleep) and waking up, but I’ve also dipped in during lunch breaks at work and while just around the apartment. I would say my one nitpick with it is a few of the meditations could be slightly better structured or written (ie: pauses that are too long or too short or misplaced), but there’s so many options that I can’t ding it for the imperfect. And even with that quibble, there’s nothing shoddy or poorly done about any of them. This is a wonderfully practical meditation app for modern use. I can’t recommend it enough.

Great app, once you get past “Downloading media”. There are lots of great meditations in this app, well worth the money. However, the big problem is that on first open (and random opens after that) the app goes to a spinning circle with “downloading media” and absolutely no progress bar. This can take 10-30 minutes (I’m on a fast internet connection!) and naturally it can’t do this in the background so if the phone is locked or the app isn’t in the foreground it seems to make no progress at all. There’s a “skip update” button that’s apparently just for show because it doesn’t do anything. Basically, on first install and at random times after that, you have to turn off your auto lock and dedicate your entire phone to waiting on this massive update that doesn’t even tell you if it’s making progress.

Short and Simple!. I’ve searched for apps to help me overcome some obstacles. But lots of them are ridiculously overpriced MONTHLY I would like to add, and require you to be sitting there listening for 30-60 minutes! That’s nice for something like bedtime maybe. But I don’t have all day for that! Buddhify is a very reasonably priced, one time fee! The app itself is very user friendly. There are many categories available. I am also sure that the meditations will be updated to different ones. (I hope! Since it would become monotonous) I started a full time bachelors program recently. I haven’t been in college for a few years. This causes racing thoughts of how much I have to do, motivational problems of where to start. On a break I listened to one and it motivated me in 5 minutes! This is just an example of one of the amazing categories available. Take a chance and get it!! It has helped me get with the program and reduce stress and anxiety. I suffer from bad adult ADHD, anxious thoughts and I put a ton of pressure on myself causing me a lot of unneeded stress! It has helped me lesson these repetitive stressful thoughts! Helped me to become a happier, more mindful thinker who can get her work done without totally freaking out! You won’t be sorry.

I love Buddhify!. My husband and I meditate to Buddhify every morning, in addition to tuning in as needed during the day. Lovely way to start the day. Lucy and Rohan are my favorites, but we listen to all of them. I have been using this app for years, and joined as a founding member. It is easy to use and navigate. I love that they talk normally, with accents from all over, and without music. I am looking forward to new categories and meditations in the future.

Content good, but very slow software syncs(download). UPDATED: the app allows you to download the recording when you register. That make is so much more efficient and eliminates the waiting time. The Content and design of the app is interesting. This is my third day using it and I am very frustrated with the very very slow downloading process that I have to wait for almost every time I use the app.

Have sleep problems? Look no further. This app it truly amazing. I don’t use it nearly as much as I should and I don’t use it to all its functionality. However, I use the different sleep meditations to help me get a goodnight sleep and wind down and it has made a huge difference in my happiness and life in general. Let me explain… Side note: I, on occasion, have a really hard time falling asleep despite being very tired and wanting so bad to sleep. Before this app, my sleep problems would keep me up all. Night until I pass out from exhaustion. Let me give a real example… I was having one of the worst times falling asleep a couple weeks ago the night before I took my midterm for a summer class that would make or break my entire fall schedule. It ended up being about 5 am after restored attempts to fall asleep I finally remembered I had the app and boom it worked! The guided sleep meditation allowed me to put anxiety aside and the calming voice just eased me into sleep. I really and truly can not recommend this app enough. If you have ever had trouble with sleep look no further the app is well worth it and there is so much more to it then just helping you fall asleep!

Amazing. I have been and where very skeptical about meditation. I have never had it work well and thought it was kind of hokey! I have been through some very tough times in my life; combat, battling cancer twice, loss etc…but for the last month a back injury has interrupted my life and left me helpless! Unable to move, in serious pain, emotional distress, lost work, lost recreation, lost vacation, unable to volunteer, mow my lawn, drive, finish moving and so forth. Awaiting approval for back surgery to fix my issues I was reading and found an article about meditation and one of the apps they recommended was Buddify and I am so happy they did! I love it, it’s great and has helped me relax, stay calm and know that this too shall pass. I use several different sections of the wheel a few times a day and getting into a routine and incorporating it into my daily life! Thank you, well worth the $5, hope it helps you too!

Great but could use some iPad love?. After searching in vain for an *affordable* and easy-to-use meditation app, I found buddhify. I love the customizability of the wheel. However, I would love to see its iPad version receive some love. Most meditation apps skip this. Headspace and all the others have a universal app, but, like buddhify, they only function in portrait mode. Many users are ditching their MacBooks and use iPads in landscape with a keyboard, or with split screen or slide-over. I’d love to see buddhify be one of the first mindfulness apps to accommodate these features, especially when there are sessions for being online or at work. Anyway, I love the affordability, the family-led company, and everything else. Please keep up the good work!

A happy surprise. I bought this app on a whim without really knowing what I was getting into, I have been pleasantly surprised at what I’ve found! The meditations are so enjoyable, and they’re beautifully organized by how they might fit into your life. Some of my favorites are the walking meditations and the ones to listen to before getting out of bed in the morning.

Good but lacks updates. I appreciate that their business is not monetizing their users. I have found the meditations to be helpful. But it has not been updated in a year or more which suggests there is no interest in fixing bugs. For example, if you do not force the application closed and switch to other applications at some point the GUI becomes confused and the wheel is no longer available. Only remedy appears to be forcing it to close and restarting it. Minor but annoying. Still recommended for the aforementioned reasons

Old version way better. I loved the previous version of Buddhify and recommended it and gifted to so many people. I updated and this version is so buggy. Always crashes, error messages of “can not find track” and needs to be connected to wifi! Sometimes I fly or am in the basement and would like to use buddhify without being connected to the internet. And about 70% of the files I chose would not play then Buddhify crashes. I’ve reinstall several times still no luck. Please help!

I really wanted to like this app. This app didn’t provide as much guidance with breathing and meditation for every category as I wished. Since I paid for this app, I tried it out whenever I could. However, I noticed that I kept going back to the free guided meditations on the Calm app and Aware app. When I realized that I hadn’t been using this app at all (and even avoiding it), I thought I should write this review. It gets 3 stars because the layout and the amount of content is impressive. However, the guided meditations in this app are just not my thing. There isn’t enough focus on breathing I think. My mind keeps wandering and I realize halfway through that I’m not even listening to the audio at all. I feel like the other apps give constant gentle reminders (regardless of category) to bring me back into focus. This feels more like an app for those who simply want a friend to make them aware of their surroundings as they do daily tasks... rather than themed sit-down guided breathing meditations.

Brilliant. Listen, I get it. You want to get into meditation, but all these apps have a monthly subscription. Well with Buddify, there’s one small charge for the app itself, and that’s it! After that single purchase, you’ve unlocked a whole world full of techniques tailored specifically to situations that you need help with: sleep, stress, walking, even using your phone! I like this app because it’s very easy to use, you can edit the list of meditations to your liking, and there’s no “premium pressure” as I like to call it. I’ll happily pay $5 once, rather than have a constant question in my head wondering if a subscription is worth it for how much I’m using the app. And after all, a meditation app pressuring you to pay more money sounds kind of counterproductive anyway. Bravo to Buddify! You’ve helped tame my stressed out mind.

Helps me sleep. A friend recommended this app when I told her I suffer from insomnia. At first, I wasn’t sure I wanted to pay so much for an app, but it has been worth it. I tried Zen meditation in the past and always felt like I couldn’t get it right, so I was a bit skeptical. When I wake up in the middle of the night and can’t get back to sleep, I listen to this app and it helps me relax and let go of whatever is racing through my mind. The speakers’ voices are pleasant and calming. I love their British accents. The meditations tell you it’s okay if you don’t understand it right away. Instead of missing hours of sleep, I only miss 30-45 minutes. I haven’t tried the other meditations, yet. I like that they are short and there are a variety of topics. You can sit quietly on a work break and listen to a session for 10-15 minutes. Overall, a great introduction to meditation.

The best out there. I have made meditation part of my daily practice over the last five years. We all know what the research says, but here is one personal endorsement to express how much it can change ones life. I have several different meditation apps on my phone and I must say that Buddhify tops them all. Not only is it visually stunning, the ability to edit ones favorite meditations on the “wheel” allows you to focus your meditation practice in a very specific way, based on where you are in your journey. The meditations are meaningful, appropriate and focused. I couldn’t recommend it more highly - with 5+ years under my belt!

First time user.. Heard about Buddhify on a great podcast called “The One you Feed.” Have always wanted to experience more mindfulness/learn how to practice meditation. Tried a few sleep apps, and this came along at precisely the right time. Just did a 12 minute meditation - nothing forced and felt extremely natural. Looking forward to many more. Thank you for taking the time to create your app, and keeping the price very reasonable.

My go-to mindfulness meditation app. The colored wheel approach provides so many options and yet any one meditation is pretty easy to locate. I tend to find whatever topic I want to work on for myself and the kids wheel is a bonus I wasn’t expecting. In fact, I like to use the kids meditations at times for myself. Meditation lengths are more on the brief side which I like, yet there are longer ones whenever I want. My only real knock I can think of is some of the narration voices can be a little too soft and sweetsie. Overall, I have been really impressed by the app, especially compared to other apps out there. It’s well thought out.

Fix your app. I downloaded the app a few months ago, paid the $6 or whatever, used it once and then have been experiencing errors and nothing loads. I get it to work every now and then, but it’s almost as if the app wants you to start sitting there doing nothing waiting before it even loads! Kinda genius! These are preference things, but all of the voices are British (like headspace) and are not as calming to me as an American or Asian accent. Plus there’s too much talking and not enough silence in the guided meditations. You need a nice balance. If you’re looking for a cheap, no BS meditation app, I recommend Plum Village from the Buddhist Monastery.

Love this app!!. I’m not a sit-still kind of guy, and yet I have found several uses for these excellent meditations. They help me calm my mind and fall asleep at night, and I use them while walking my dog to help ground me at the beginning of my day. “May things be good today.” 😀 I used it for the first time while running today. While there’s not a specific running meditation (but could there be?!?), it helped me take my mind off my pain and focus on my breathing. My only wish: that is was compatible with Apple Watch. Is that ever a possibility? HIGHLY recommend this app!

Very valuable for integrating meditation into daily life. Though I was saddened to find out that some of my favorite meditations have now been re-recorded by new voice actors, which felt like losing an old friend... Nevertheless, your app has been an invaluable step along the way to making meditation more a part of my daily life and I will always appreciate it for that. I can also recommend it still for new meditators. Lovely folks, responsive customer service, and I wish you the very best.

Crafted w/Care, Useful, Better Thank Headspace. I did Headspace every day for 6 months and ultimately it’s the SAME meditation every time with a different short intro. Buddhify is premised in Meditation serving different purposes at different times for different people. If you want to build a practice you can do that. But if you at really just feeling stressed or self-hating or sleepless you can pick a specific meditation. Best is that it’s not just someone talking to you ABOUT the topic. The designers have you use specific, different, legit meditation techniques given the need. It’s been great to see this app grow. I’m a big fan. I keep coming back to it. You will too.

Love this app!!. I love the buddhify app! So much so that I’ve bought it for half a dozen or so friends and family. I’ve tried to develop a meditation practice in the past but this is the first thing that’s worked. Using specific events “going to sleep” “eating” and triggers “feeling overwhelmed” “in pain” was key to my habit forming and this is how the app is set up. Something dominating my mind? Just open buddhify, find that certain thing, and listen. I’ve been using it for over a year, almost daily. I’m much better at managing my stress and emotions, it’s helped me through some difficult times. The meditations are friendly and casual, empathetic. If you’re like me and more of an agnostic atheist than a Wiccan- the practices are practical, simple, and accessible. There isn’t a lot of “woo” or “aura” type talk (nothing wrong with that but it’s just not my speed) Also it’s SO beautiful and browsing through or editing my wheel is a joy. Thank you for making something so lovely!

Great practice partner!. Buddhify has become the mindfulness practice partner I have needed in order to sustain my practice. I look forward to listening to kind, gentle guidance every night as I’m letting go of the day and falling asleep. The meditations on pain and illness help me live with (instead of fight) my own chronic pain. If you are looking for a gentle way to reconnect with compassion for yourself and others, buddhify can help your practice in wonderful and unexpected ways!

Long download time. I really like the recordings in this app. I especially appreciate that it isn’t a subscription base app. The biggest issue, and the reason I can’t use it anymore is it takes forever to open/“download media”. When I want to enjoy a recording I can’t just open it and use it right then, I have to open the app and leave it open for a few minutes before I can access the recordings. I’m super bummed because I really like the narration, even the long pauses people complain about (which are intentional to get you to slow down and be less judgmental BTW).

The rosetta stone of meditation apps- perfect way to learn & sustain a meditation habit. I’ve used Buddhify for a few years now, and it’s by far the most usable, helpful and interesting of any meditation aides I’ve tried, at a much more accessible price point than most. Before this I had 0 experience with meditation, and felt it was useless when I tried because I didn’t know how to go about it, or what to aim for. Then I started listening to Buddhify’s shorter 5-15 minute guided meditations most nights before bed— in addition to being a very relaxing pre-sleep ritual, I gradually learned and practiced various approaches to meditation- techniques, mind states, even fun games. I still love to listen to Buddhify’s tracks frequently, but the best thing is that Buddhify taught me templates for meditative mental states that I can now use independently as well. The app is also beautifully designed, voices are enjoyable to listen to, and there’s clearly such care put into every aspect of it— I can’t recommend it enough.

Amazing Application. So I impulsively bought this app, because most of my meditation apps I’ve tried are subscription based and I’m not about that life (there’s an option for that here I think, I haven’t tried the extended premium). But what you get is amazing. There are so many choices with so many varieties, from waking up to putting down your phone. Some are quick, others longer, but they help you get into the habit and the voices are calm and non distracting. I HIGHLY recommend purchasing the app, as someone with depression it can really help to have instructions and it doesn’t let your mind wander to a place of bad thoughts.

Loving this app for years. It’s like a steady friend, it’s my go to for practically every mood or need but I use most of the morning ‘wake up’ selections The most. I also use the self timer silent meditations quite a. It. There is a lot of thought put into these without a lot of background water or music stuff, if that is what is wanted. I love the purity of these meditations. Like a steady friend, I am a long time student of meditation and have enjoyed retreats and courses on meditation. And I come back to Buddhify for my every day support. Love these guys. Thank you.

Excellent.. I love this app. After trying others, and being hesitant to sign up for any kind of subscription model, I did some research and stumbled upon buddhify. I’ve meditated so much more often than I ever have with this app, due in part to the customizable wheel of topics. I love being able to go straight to something that speaks to me in the moment. There’s a real sense of connection with the team behind all the meditations and the app development, and I generally feel as though Rohan et al are speaking directly to me on a personal level. All in all, I highly recommend this to anyone looking to dip their toe into the vast ocean of mindfulness apps.

Right to sleep. i went to the doctor to ask about solutions to my anxiety issues, and along with medication she recommended this app to me. honestly i was a little skeptical because it was $5, but i figured $5 was a low enough price to test it out. it was one of the best decisions ive made. ive always had a hard time falling asleep. my anxiety gets very bad at night and my mind wont stop. these meditations are so soothing that i fall asleep in 20 minutes, sometimes 5, when before id be up for hours. i love the pauses in the meditations that let me relax and fall asleep. i started using the morning meditations when i’m in bed and waking up and it puts me into a good mood and helps me regulate my anxiety. thank you so much for this app, its worth the $5 ❤️

Best App for Stand-Alone Meditation. Buddify is my favorite app for stand-alone meditations. I love the ones they have for falling asleep. I usually have trouble sleeping but since discovering Buddify, instead of waiting an hour or more to find calm and sleep, I'm down for the count in less than 11 minutes (I know it's 11 because I often don't even make it to the end of the meditation). I'm starting to integrate it more into my daily practice and would love a reminder feature.

Takes forever to initially load. So I’ve been using this app in the morning before work. When he first load the app it goes through all these funny little messages about downloading media, etc. The problem is is that it never finishes I suppose.I have to minimize the window turn my Wi-Fi off and on and then go back to the app. The app will then give me an error but the wheel finally loads And I can begin to use it. It’s frustrating because this morning I gave it for four minutes to load which agitated me and sort of defeated the purpose of the calmness.

Wonderful way to learn meditation on the go. I wasn’t convinced that meditation was all it’s supposed to be. I looked at it as a fad among some of my peers. I tried a few apps, and didn’t like them. But then I tried Buddhify, and realized that it was what I was missing. The voices are great (I do love British accents though), it’s soothing and I’m learning to calm my mind. Which, quite frankly, I needed to do. I fight several chronic and genetic illnesses, and having this app helps me remember that even though I’m always fighting for my health, there ARE things to be grateful for. Many things. My only concern is that sometimes the pauses in between segments of a track are sometimes a bit long, which always makes me want to check if it’s still running. That being said, I love it. Many thanks for a well written app and guide.

A Meditation Miracle. When I started looking at meditation apps I was shocked by the cost. I couldn’t try out the other apps without signing up for a “free trial”. Buddify makes it amazingly simple to learn how to mediate if you are a beginner. It has a smooth interface that accommodates the most experienced meditator. It’s organized in a sensible yet simple way. One of the best apps I have!!

Buddhify is a life saver.. Whenever I fall off the practice horse this app helps me get back into it. Helps me sleep, shift my perspective, feel connected...cannot say enough good things about this app. I do wish there was one big monster wheel that included all the meditations in one- for someone like me who ends up jumping around in the app a lot now that there are multiple wheels...but that’s not a deal breaker, just a suggestion.

Highly recommend. Would highly recommend..the 1 time joining fee is well worth it. Good variety of guided meditations and option for solo meditation with customizable timer. Whether you are new to meditation or have been meditating for years, there is something for you. This app is easy to use and has really helped me become more consistent and look forward to my daily meditation.

Excellent app, but not all voices are created equal.. Using this app has done a number of positive things for me. I listen to at least one track a day, either when I go to sleep or take a nap. I’ve recommended it to many others. I would love to give it the 5 stars it mostly deserves, but the inclusion of certain voices on many of the tracks has me repeating the same half dozen tracks that feature (in my opinion) soothing voices. I find only two voices worthy of inclusion here: the British female and the deep-voiced American male. Any others I find annoying, so much so that listening to them actually makes me tense. Eliminate those and you’ll have a five-star app.

Won’t open /glitchy. Since I bought the app 2 months ago every time I try to use -it starts downloading media & updating but sits on that for over 5-10 mins. I thought all apps were updated via the App Store. I’ve had to delete & re-install & that in itself takes ages. I have to say for an $8.00 app to help with calmness it’s been so frustrating to deal with glitchy apps like this. Haven’t been able to use it once since purchasing & it was referred through me via a work colleague as a way to assist stress relief & if I liked it to suggest it to my team. It’s frustrating & kind of unacceptable that for such an expensive app - it’s not even functioning. No more app purchases - you’re better off with free ones - that way you’re not disappointed if it doesn’t work

I’m a counselling psychologist, I frequently use Buddhify and highly recommend it to others!. I just love this app! There’s nothing quite like it anywhere else- and I have trialled a great many so that I can make informed recommendations to my clients. I’ve been meditating since 1991 and providing counselling services since 1992, so I’d like to think I know something about what can help people find some peace and joy in their life. Meditation is definitely a skill to master and use for the rest of your life. Most recently, I used Buddhify in hospital when I had a four-night stay following fairly uncomfortable surgery. It really helped get me through the experience. Highly recommended if you are new to meditation, and also very helpful if you are an old hack like me 😌

Bring back the old. I loved your old app - it was quick to load, easy to use and available when I wanted it. Now it takes forever to load new meditations and inhibits the use of other recordings while it is loading. Some nights it’s 3-4 minutes of loading ‘laser’ and ‘rock’ before I can just get to the wheel. Deeply annoying (ironically not in the spirit of meditation!).

Great meditation app. Buddhify has a great range of meditations, sorted into categories which are easy to navigate. It can be tailored to suit your preferences and stage. The tone and style of the various voices are all positive and encouraging. The diversity of practices attends to changing needs. I appreciate that the meditations are voiced by people from different countries. It’s also great value for money.

Thanks!. Elegant, playful, engaging and mindful. Well done Buddhify - you have done it again. I really love the give feature - being able to send a meditation to friends is the best.

Life saver. Meditations with specific emotions are simple, elegant and effective. The one on the feeling of overwhelm is only nine minutes long and yet feels like it extends the time of calm to twenty minutes. Thank you.

Life changing app. Meditation and mindfulness at your finger tips. Huge range of medications for all aspects of life. The sleep app I still haven’t heard the end of - its so effective! Love the mediation voices used all are soothing and inspiring. I have just renewed this app again - I just love having it handy for when I need it

Too much talking.. Not enough time is allowed between guidance comments to absorb or apply them. I find myself mentally shouting “shut up!”. Not a good mindfulness strategy. Some of the longer meditations may have longer spaces than 5-10 seconds between talking but I haven’t necessarily got longer time in the morning.

Rainbow Wheel of Doom. This is the only app I have ever left a review on. Only from frustration. The meditations are excellent but why does it need to update for 5 minutes every time I open the app? I feel there needs to be a section for meditations to calm my anxiety after cursing the wheel. Then I can go into the meditation I actually wanted in the lesser state of anxiety I was previously in.

Please give me my money back. Downloaded this app yesterday and haven’t been able to get into it at all because it keeps “loading media”. I’ve deleted and added it several times but same thing. It appears this is a common complaint which I should have read before I downloaded the app. Do something about fixing the issues or refund my money please.

Update has made app less easy to use. I'm a firm Buddhify fan and have been using the app for over a year but the recent update is really buggy. I echo previous comments - it’s 'downloading media' for 5-6 minutes. What's more, the website offers little in the way of help. Its support page keeps reloading the same unhelpful menu you access the 'support' button from and has no contact us option. I'm sure it's an easy problem to fix but the lack of online support - and the fact that the last version of the app, pre-update, worked really well - is disappointing.

Used to be great but needs love. Used to be great but it hasn’t had an update in three years so it seems it’s been retired since and left to rot. A shame since it’s a helpful app for calming and has great content but the UI doesn’t work quite right with recent iOS updates so it’s glitchy and needs love. I’d recommend something else unless it gets some updates.

Frustrating. This app is always “downloading media” when I open it, taking minutes before I can start a meditation which I’m often trying to do on the run between meetings. This might be bearable if there were new meditations but it is always the same content. Please fix!

Thank you!. I love you! You have so many different ways of making my life so good! Thank you !

A wonderful app!. I have had this app for 5 years and absolutely adore it. I have used it alone, with colleagues, my partner and children. The categories are beautifully nuanced to allow you to choose a meditation which is ideal for the moment & the breadth of voices guiding the practice so wonderful. I commend Rohan and the team for creating and putting such a wonderful app out there to support people on their individual mindfulness journeys.

Literally life changing. This app has kept me anchored when my life felt like it was coming undone. When my everything around me was crazy, changing and stressful I found time everyday to have a little moment of peace and that little moment got me through one of the most difficult times in my life. I love that I can mediate anywhere, on the trading going to work, walking in the park, even folding washing. It means that no matter how busy I am I can still fit it in. Get it, use it every day and you will love it too.

Love this app!. This app supported me greatly while I was learning to meditate. And it’s still a go-to when I feel like some soothing voices or when I need a bit of structure to my practice. Thank you Buddhify!

Love it. I have used Buddify for over a year now and have just started using the children’s wheel with my children. I really have appreciated the support it has given me. In challenging times I am so grateful I found this. Have recommended to many friends

Newest update not working. Was an awesome app. The latest release not working well on last iOS update despite multiple reloading. Hopefully it will get fixed soon

Versatile mindfulness. I absolutely love the app and would be giving it 5 stars if it didn’t try to update every single time you opened the app. I have to get out of the screen just for it to say ‘error downloading’ so I can skip and get to the meditation. Other than that, it’s a great app with one purchase at the beginning and no more after (it’s good to have no surprises). It is versatile as there are meditations for all occasions.

what's with this tracking and spying?. No excuse, you should not be tracking anything we use the app for? How can you justify? Why do you need our identity's? I you want to ease debugging make it possible for the end user to submit a log a crash dump or what they did but this is inexcusable behaviour. Overlording is ugly and intolerable. Cease and desist.

This is the best mindfulness app I have used!. I love the specific mindfulness exercises for particular situations. There’s a great range of meditations. The recent update has fixed the bugs from the last one. Highly recommend!

Great app if you struggle with meditation. Normally I can’t meditate because my mind is constantly racing; this app gives practical and achievable meditations that can be done any time, anywhere. It’s a real gift for someone like me.

Awesome!. This app is such a great balance between being informative and useful, but also just a really lovely and relaxing way to explore meditation. I paid for the app which was great. Also paid the optional membership which I’m enjoying. You get loads of information and training.

Very unhappy. I bought The app on recommendation and in good faith. I am also extremely disappointed and disheartened. It has caused me more stress which is the opposite to what is claimed. I have had the circle downloading for over 1 hr each time I try to start it. This app was recommended by a presenter to our school. I have notified over 100 staff that it unfortunately doesn’t works. If this is rectified u can be sure I will also let them know. I would like my money back please ASAP. How can we make that happen please?

Frustrating. I just bought and downloaded this app. So far it’s mainly frustrating! Every time I open the app and want to try some meditation, the app needs to “update” and takes ages. By the time it’s finished, my moment to meditate has gone. I have got the latest version so it’s a shame it’s so annoying. I wouldn’t recommend paying for this app until it runs smoother

Error as soon as I opened it.. Just spent $7.99 on this app. On the very first task it tried to perform (downloading media) it failed. Gave an ‘error downloading from api’ message. There appears to be no quick or easy way to report this. Not impressed. I see now that you also need to pay a subscription fee to get access to ‘more’ features, just like the other ones. I thought you were different, Buddhify.

Slow media updates very frustrating. It’s a great app but the slow upload of media updates each time you open the app is frustrating. Especially if you only have a few minutes to get in some mindfulness! Would be ace if you could address that. Thank you.

Takes forever to open. I’ve only been able to use it once in two weeks as everytime I open the app it says “downloading” and takes forever to open. Not really pleased

Wonderful app but not working well on iPhone14. I love this app and have used it for many years now. It is genuinely calming and supports me in the moment with mild panics and getting to sleep when sleep won’t come. I am therefore frustrated because it is not working properly with my new iPhone14. It loads the wheels for a period of time (a day or two) and then goes blank and I have to delete the app and re-install it - not great in the middle of the night when I am wanting to use it to support getting back to sleep. I emailed support but with no response. I never write reviews so this is a testament to how much I care for this app and want it to work.

Simply Excellent. I have tried a few meditation apps and there are some other good ones. But I always come back to Buddhify. It is well crafted with simple yet entirely effective meditations. They are mostly short so you can always fit them in and they are not overly intellectual or cutesy. They just hit that sweet spot in a short amount of time and words. The voices are varied and my favourite shifts depending on my mood but none are annoying or grating. I highly recommend this app. It has literally changed my life for the better.

Utterly brilliant. I’d buy it twice.. Thanks so much, Buddhify people. I don’t even know why it works but this highly anxious, frequently overwhelmed, poor sleeper now relies on you to get me rested and clear- minded pretty much every day and night for six months now. I’d buy this app twice if I could!

Excellent mindfulness meditation app. I've used buddhify for well over a year now. Went through some teething issues switching to a new user interface but these are all over now. App runs super smoothly and meditations are brilliant. I love the range of voices across the meditations. The customisable wheel is super nice. Definitely recommend. Practicing mindfulness through buddhify has been a really rewarding experience and my mental health has definitely benefitted. Get to know it!

App does not seem to be working. Don’t download this app for now. Not sure what is going on, I could not seem to load the app. Seems to be working for a short while, but the next time when I want to use it doesn’t load. Keeps getting stuck at the downloading content page. I hope they fix it soon, otherwise don’t pay and download it for now.

Loving it!. I love this app. I barely stick to things i need to help me chill out but this app has me coming back everyday and it works. I’m truly grateful for this app!

Grateful. This app has got me through some really tough times. It’s amazing to know that if I am really struggling I can put on a quick 5-15 min meditation which will help to ground me and make everything seem less overwhelming or severe. Each meditation is really well written and the voices are just the right amount of friendly and soothing without that unnatural sounding ‘meditation voice’ you can sometimes get. You can feel that this app has been made by people who genuinely care about others and about connection. Thank you Buddify.

Bring back the old app. The previous version of the app was great. I used to use it before bed every night. It was a very basic app - but that’s all it needed to be. The meditations were engaging and practical. Unfortunately now I can rarely get into the app. I’ve downloaded, deleted and downloaded again but the loading or inability to open the app has become too much. You can see by the reviews here that started at 5 stars have now dipped down to 1, that it is a real issue. I’ve recommended this app to many people in the past - but I’m afraid I can’t recommend it anymore :(

It takes over 10 minutes to actually open. I’m so disappointed! Excited to be able to get mindfulness in in small bouts of 5-10 minutes.. then I realise it takes 10 minutes to open the app with the dreaded ‘downloading media’ message appearing every time I open the app. Extremely disappointed and a waste of money.

Worth the Cost! Great in a pinch or ongoing. Recordings for every single segment of your journey. Morning wake ups, mid day stressful moments management, walks through your neighbourhood, and management of ongoing mental health via calming voices and well thought out prose. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a quality mindfulness & meditation app. Not paid to write this either, hehe. Xx

First interaction. App loaded and interface looks great. First meditation, just before bed, Cradle - in the sleep series. Beautiful soothing, calm voice was guiding me into relaxation until she said “everythink” - I snapped out it and that’s all I could think about! Rating it 3 until you dig a bit deeper. But I had to laugh at the error - a bit more attention to quality control in the recording would have helped.

Great support for Adults and Kids alike. I’ve tried a few meditation apps and this one is definitely a winner. It’s hard to squeeze in formal sittings when you have a young family so I love the extensive micro meditations. They are wonderful reminders that you can slow down and connect in virtually any moment, any situation. My kids also love the wheel for kids. They are better at identifying what is going in their inner worlds and how to work with those emotional storms. Great job Buddhify team 👍

I love the new version except miss the ratings.... The new version has SO much more and is so much more customisable, so I’m loving that. It’s not super intuitive to flip between the kids wheel and my own, but I’ve figured it out now. The only thing missing is the pre meditation mind ratings etc... that helped track how you felt pre and post meditation and look back on your moods over time. I found that sort of data pretty helpful and would love to see something like that in the new version.

Yay for the update!. I was off this app for awhile because of technical issues but the recent update has fixed all the slow loading and glitches. I'm now back to using the app daily and loving it.

Why?. I agree with the previous feedback! I can’t even load the app any more. Very disappointing & frustrating! I also loved the original app! Clearly your developer isn’t fixing it. It is May now and all your updates to date say they have fixed these errors but they haven’t! Surely you are refunding all these unhappy customers now!

The best mindfulness app. This is by far the best Mindfulness app that I’ve used. I love that so much content is provided with the app. I haven’t signed up for the subscription service given that I’m not meditating as much as I used to, but if ever I feel the need for a subscription service, buddhify will be my go-to. The quality of their meditations is so much better than the other major meditation apps. Great work buddhify team.

Make every day great. Doing one or two of these meditations every morning makes a huge difference to daily happiness and contentment

Forever updating. I love the content of Buddify but I don’t understand why it has to update every single time I open the app. It takes a really long time and then when it does give you the option to skip update, it often won’t actually let you skip when you push the skip button.

Not functioning properly. I’m having the same issues as everyone else with the lengthy downloading every single time it is opened. This is particularly frustrating and upsetting as this was recommended to me by my psychologist and it has done nothing but make me more anxious. This is the first app I have ever paid for and the first app that has been SO bad with opening. What is even more disappointing is that the Buddhify team won’t respond to my messages. I expect they have been inundated...

Great content, trouble loading. I love the meditations and the UX, really great product. It takes super long to “download media” though, even when I don’t close the app. Is there a bug fix coming for this?

Waiting for the app to open is an exercise in mindfulness. I used to use this app many years ago, as a member and it was wonderful. Several years ago, an update slowed it down to the point of being utterly unusable so I deleted it. I hoped it would have been improved, so tried again today. Sadly, it still takes far too long to “download media”. Still unusable in my view.

Much Needed Support. These are difficult days for me. Difficult for many of us. I need something to help me focus on mindfulness. Most apps are much too expensive and feel formal. I needed simple, honest, caring and loving. This gives me that. Thank you so very much for such a gift. And the best part. You only need to pay understand $10 for access to this personal “On the Go” community. I wanted everything they had to offer because I trust them. So I paid under 50. I look forward to continuing to use this daily and to financially support them yearly so they don’t stop. Thank you thank you🙏🏼❤️👍🏽

So slow to open the app. Feel like I spend more time waiting app opening than meditation Edit: latest update makes app start faster

Rubbish. Has to download for ages every time I launch it. Makes it useless.

The great unfolding - universe meditation. Very well done!! I would love to hear more by this instructor. PAS

Slow as a snail. This app takes way too long to open. Very disappointing, would love to have my money back.

Best, most genuine mental health app. Honestly the best, most accessible, least irritating app for meditation and mental exercises. I appreciate that Buddify’s business model is simple and effective; meaning, no subscriptions or in-app purchases to fully use the app. It’s simplicity, affordability, and use-value illustrates a deeper, social purpose for the app’s existence. Bravo (and never change... please)

Well worth the purchase. A lot of content and a lot of love was put in this app. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Hey, what happened?!. I’ve been enjoying using this app for a couple of years (and paying the subscription) I like the app and use it often. This last update removed all of my downloaded content. Also it removed the pause button in the play area of the current meditation. Also missing are the forward & back 15sec buttons. Why remove those controls that I use all the time? Why is there a notice at the start showing a problem updating user data since I’m always offline when I use the app? I’m disappointed that this update was not tested very well before putting it on the App Store. I’m also wondering why the promised additional content has never materialized. It’s quite a let down.

Best app. No other app will help you regain your grip on your mental health, nor restore your peace of mind, like the meditations you will find here.

Fails to Load. Content fails to load or takes several minutes which can be extremely frustrating for someone trying to regulate their mood.

The app I didn’t know I needed. It really is true that a little “mindfulness” every day can help. There are so many options and scenarios to choose from which is pleasant. I am sure I will find my favourite few minutes in the day are those spent using Buddhify

Will rate a 5 when solo timer bugs are fixed :). I love this app, but since the big overhaul update there have been some problems with the solo timer. Sometimes the solo timer posts multiple times to my HealthKit. Today it got stuck on the screen that pops up when you finish a solo timed meditation and posted that meditation every time I opened Buddhify - I had to shut down the app to make that stop. Yesterday, the app crashed at the end of my solo timed meditation and didn’t post to HealthKit at all (and this happens intermittently). When it does work, which is most of the time, it’s a lovely app with an intuitive and beautiful interface that is obviously a labour of love. I have never had technical problems with the guided meditations, but I don’t use them as much. Thank you for this app and for serving the meditation community, and I have every confidence these minor bugs will be rectified. <3

Great meditation aid!. This is a great app! Morning, day or night it can really help you stop and take a few minutes to be mindful of the present. I love this app!

First Timer. I just did my first meditation in years. Just 5 minutes. Wow, It was pretty amazing. I felt like someone was in my brain. Thanks! Can’t wait to do it again.

my favourite & only. This is the only meditation app that I use, so simple and there is so much variety based on how long you want to meditate for and the best part - what you’re in the middle of. The new updates are good it is never slow to load for me like some reviews say. Definitely worth it I’ve been using it for about a year and no other app comes close in price and quality. Lots of meditations you can do while going to sleep, waking up, working, feeling difficult emotions, out somewhere etc. loooove it!!

My favourite app: highly recommended. This app is extremely well done. It is clearly a reflection of a very solid understanding of mindfulness. Or is also very easy to use, and it provides wonderful meditative experiences. Most importantly, it’s producers mean as a learning tool where one can learn to eventually meditate effectively even without the app. Finally, the support team is awesome: I had a issue with the app that I se related to the settings in my phone. Their care was prompt, super friendly, and very effective.

App support not available. I love the meditation but after every use the wheel disappears and I need to delete the app and bring back to get it going again. Tried to get Support on the site and every choice on troubleshooting goes to the main page. Ironic that this meditation app is the biggest stress in my day.

Awesome App!. Buddhify has helped me sleep a thousand times better than I have in many years. I also really enjoy the RAIN meditation and the Loving Kindness meditation. You should definitely try it. I’ve recommended it to my Doctor and she now recommends it to her other patients!

Awesome selection of meditation techniques. Buddhify offers a good selection of mood and time of the day colour wheel that provides a great platform to meditate throughout the day. I particularly like the tips provided for work break and can’t sleep. The short sessions (5-15mins) help reframe the mind and introduce a different perspective when my mind wanders.

Broken App - Refund!. The app doesn't even start. I have a really fast internet connection at home and this app has been "Downloading" content for the past hour. Its not usable like this. Its a broken App. I want my money back

Charged!. I did not agree to be charged for this app! I downloaded only because it was free and I wanted to try it. Now today I received a bill for $6 something for it and I have no idea how to get my money back! Not impressed... I hate false advertising and being tricked!

App does not work. I’ve heard great things about this app. I’ve attempted to use it 4 times, all it has done is “download media” finally on my 4th attempt I was able to access the media. Not impressed.

Takes forever to load. Very disappointed as I used to love this app. Since downloading it again about a year later it’s become so heavy it won’t open half the time on my iPhone 5s.

My favourite meditation app - life changer!. I have tried most of the meditation apps, and this one is by far my favourite! Easy to use, simple meditations great for beginners and experienced meditators. I’m so grateful for this app, as it changed my life! Thank you!

VERY slow. $7.90 for an app that takes a very long time to load every single time I try to use it. Disappointing and well over priced.

One of my favorites. The bhuddify team have developed a compassionate, deep approach to meditation, even if the initial impressions of the app feel similar to the growing list of its competitors. Most importantly, this app does not forefront things like notifications, streaks, exclusivity (!), or guilt-trips to get you to return. I highly recommend reading the intro materials as you're getting acquainted with the app. The approach here is intended to make meditation an enjoyable, integrated part of your life, not another to-do list item, or something isolated to a silent, empty room with just you and your seat cushion. Along with plenty of guided meditations, there's a handy timer with optional interval chimes you can use. Super handy for experienced people. Loving this app at just a few months in. Can't recommend it enough.

Most effective tool in your kit !. Downloaded this app expecting to try it once then discarding it. Not the case at all. Simple to use , helps make meditation more effective! Pick a situation on the wheel and then you simply begin. My daughter is experiencing a major health issue and this app is a helping me get through it ! Thanks!

It's anti-mindfulness. The app will launch but stay at an infinite loading screen. I usually give up after 10 minutes and switch to a better app. No updates in over a year mean this app is dead and will likely stay dead. Don't waste your money.

Great app!. I really am finding app helpful in grounding me. Especially if I’m out and just need something simple to get my mind and breath to get to manageable levels. The only reason I did not give this a 5 star is that I’m still trying to figure out the updates and how to customize. At this point I’m just focusing on the existence meditation, especially the difficult feelings and sleep ones.

Use this app a lot during this crisis. I’ve had this app for years and have used it during my migraines to deal with pain. In the last couple of weeks I’ve used it a lot! It’s so practical and user friendly. Love it.

Real life help. Has genuinely helped me get through hard times and to fall asleep.

Media download takes to long. It doesn’t matter what wifi network I connect to the media download takes forever!! I find I switch to a different app to do my meditation because I get tired of waiting. Fix this and I will give this a 5 star rating.

Love the variety. Very simple and powerful meditations, all kind of voices, technics and durations, for different daily activities. The sharing option is unique and practical to help your friends too

Love it, but chatty. I’ve been using this app on and off for a few years now and I just love it. It’s simple, I like the themes, there are different lengths of guided meditations, which is great. The only thing that is sometimes bothering me (maybe as I’m getting more experienced with the practice) is how chatty some of the mediations are. I’ve found myself frustrated at some point, thinking: please, shut up, I’m trying to meditate! But I find this app more useful than not, and I recommend it (especially for beginners).

Want my money back!!. I was really hoping people were wrong this is terrible!! It updates every time I open it said there was I file error when I downloaded it!! I read others have the same problem, so this is not me it’s your app. I want my money back!!

The best!. This app has helped me in so many ways and in so many circumstances. I have only scratched the surface since I have not listened to all the meditations yet. I use this everyday as soon as anxiety crops up or when I need a quick little break. A simple 5 minute meditation can ground me for the rest of my day. I have recommended it to everyone I know and will continue to do so!

Quality meditation on the go. It features meditations for most imaginable situations. Very creative and empowering while being affordable. Thank you Rohan, Lucy and the team!

Won’t open at all. I want my money back, this app was expensive and won’t even open

Love all the different meditations. I love all the different meditations and how are you can find shorter ones to get you started and then build up your meditation skills.

Beautiful, friendly and almost free. Unlike most meditation apps that claim to be free but require an expensive subscription to access most of their content, this one offers nearly everything for only a small one-time fee. It’s simple and friendly and very thoughtfully put together, with helpful information in the “Foundations” section and lots of freedom to explore in your own way. It’s also peaceful to look at, without any of the visual clutter or overwhelming number of options that make some meditation apps feel like more of the information overload we all need a break from. The guided meditations are mostly pretty short so you can start small at first, and if you want to deepen your practice, a very reasonably priced annual membership (far more affordable than most!) gets you access to the “Formal” section with progressively longer sessions that develop skill in different meditation techniques. I like that Buddhify emphasizes developing the mindfulness skills to deal with life’s difficulties more effectively rather than distracting us from them with calming music or unrealistic “positive thinking”—it is very positive and playful, but in a deeper, more satisfying way. And I like that it doesn’t pressure you to rack up “achievements” but encourages users to proceed at their own pace and do what works for them. I was very happy to buy a membership and support further development of this beautiful app. Personally I prefer a more structured approach, so I wish Buddhify included an optional course that provided more guidance for beginners who want it (sometimes too much freedom means you don’t stick with one thing long enough to start really feeling the benefits). But those who want a more structured introduction could start by spending a week or so on each of the practices in the “Meditation 101” section and then move on to the longer sessions in “Formal.” I did have some problems with download errors for a while—it seemed to be re-downloading everything every time I opened the app, which was very slow and frustrating since it had always worked fine before. Finally I deleted the app, rebooted my phone and re-installed, then selected “download all files” and waited a long time until everything had downloaded. Now it opens fine and works like a charm. Thanks Buddhify team!

Calming. I really like this app. I only wish they had a small chime or noise to signal the end of the meditation, for when my mind wanders and I want to be brought back to the moment.

Content is great but app updates are too slow. I only downloaded it for the first time last week and already when I go to open it tonight it’s taking 10 minutes to update the app and download new media. It’s a pretty basic app, not sure why it’s so slow to update. Once it finally does get working, the content is great.

So slow to open. I loved the earlier version of this app. It was an awesome mediation app. But recent updates have made it take so long to open. I know patience is a virtue but I need to open the app 20 minutes before I want to mediate. And it takes up so much space on my phone. I am done with being frustrated. I am looking for a new mediation app.

Love it!. I really love this app. Best of the genre, IMHO.

Excellent app. Meditations are excellent. Wide variety and duration cleverly categorized. Easy to use. Unlike several alternative apps, can download them and play offline also no subscriptions. Just buy once and enjoy anywhere, anytime. Simple.

Worst meditation app. If I could give this zero stars I would. Never once has it loaded when I’ve wanted to listen to something. I’ve opened the app and it begins with a data error warning at the bottom. I want my money back, the worst purchase... I’m so upset.

One of the Best!. This app is one of the best in the world of meditation as it’s so much more affordable and flexible than other meditation apps. With so much variety, they really take away any excuses you might have not to meditate. Excellent app.

Long time user/fan. I have been using Bhuddify since their first release and recommend the apps and organization. They deserve donations and I am proud to support them.

Voices. Honestly... I love this app. But I enjoy the mans voice way more than the females voice. Her voice is extremely annoying. Maybe that’s just me 🤷🏻‍♀️ but I try to avoid her. And also the 2-10 minute pauses in the meditations is even more irritating.

Such a helpful app. Thanks for developing these useful, effective meditations. I use them regularly and they almost always help be refocus.

Great Guided Meditations. I enjoy this app and the team that makes it. It’s. I’ve to see a dev team that communicates well and openly. First the application. I love the layout. Having wheels that house all the different guides is nice. It doesn’t speak down to me. It just presents some concisely worded options. Lovely. The team: I happen to read the blog entries and I like their openness, honesty, and candor. Buy this app!

Hands down the best meditation app. I have used Buddhify for the past 3 years and I don’t see myself switching to another app anytime soon. They’ve strategically created various meditations for all sorts of situations and even have a solo timer for when you want to practice your own technique or prefer to meditate without a guide. My only piece of feedback would be that it would be nice to have more meditations with longer pauses to help the people who want to build a “self-sustaining” meditation practice as well. Perhaps like a “journey” you could take to cultivate that. Thanks to the Buddify team for creating something that has stuck with me through multiple cities, countries, relationships and career paths.

Just about perfect. This is an app so good that it travels with me to each new phone (so few do!!) Thanks for the brilliant content and UX that encourages not only coming back for a regular practice, but also bringing meditation into new areas of life and relationships.

Great Overall (with a few suggestions). I love this app! The meditations are great; I love the variety and the narrators are so soothing. I really wish they would add three features: the ability to queue up tracks so you can play multiple in a row without needing to select them individually; greater wheel customization; and more general/nonspecific meditations for anytime and anyplace. Thanks Buddify, for a wonderful product!

Really Helps!. I’ve been using Buddhify for two years or so now. There have been times where it’s been extremely helpful. Many times where I’ve been able to relieve myself of stress and anxiety with just a few moments of listening to the app. I really do love the overarching theme that meditation is for everyone everywhere.

Paid version does not work Buyer beware. I liked the free version enough to pay $30 for a membership. However when I try to access the premium features it doesn’t recognize me as a member. I tried logging out and in. I tried deleting and reloading the app. Nothing works and I can’t cancel my subscription.

Life Saver. I’ve had this app for years and always loved it. It has been a life saver. Four minute meditation brought me back from the brink of who knows what by shifting me out of total despair into feeling like I could manage. The compassion and amazing instructions and insights in their meditations have once again made an impact on my life. Thank you.

The meditation app winner!. Tried many meditation apps including headspace and calm but Buddhify was by far the best. Buddhify’s unique practical approach to mindfulness works well for me. I appreciate the blog and varied content, my favorite meditations are focused around sleep but I look forward to exploring all aspects of the app and becoming a member. Thanks for what you do!

Achieving calm from whatever is bothering you!. This is the best app! It is easy to use, has so many options with regards to subject and time that you have to use it. The voices are so lovely and calm and the various coaching styles and abilities are wonderful. Try it, you will be glad that you did!

Best money spent and no monthly dues :). Very pleased with this app. I use it when commuting to work in the AM. I think monthly membership fees are rubbish for mindfulness. Buddhify is a one time fee and there's something for every situation. Looking forward to the major update! Update: Down to 3 stars. Here’s why. When I’m commuting, the app takes too long to check for updates (especially on slow data). So my manual workaround is this every AM: 1. Turn off data/Wi-Fi 2. Launch app 3. Turn on data Can you please have update/checks happen manually or some other time? I only need to access the same meditations and don’t need constant updates. Thanks for listening!

Great app but loads sooooo slow. I recently started using Buddhify. When I’m take time to meditate I want to do it fairly immediately. But this app takes so long to load. Perhaps I could meditate while I’m waiting, but that’s not really the point. I’d love to use it more frequently but I’m unlikely to if the updates during loading continue to take so long.

Hope to give a better review.. I’ve been using this app for awhile now and loved it so much I decided to become a member but after paying for the upgrade I see absolutely no difference in the app and have no access to any of the things mentioned in the membership. I couldn’t find any contact information on the app so I’m hoping someone from Buddhify will see this and help me. It’s a wonderful app but with no refunds I’m a little afraid I’m getting taken with the membership.

Great meditations for beginners. I love this app bc it makes it easy to stop whatever I’m doing for just a few minutes and clear out the junk in my head. I don’t have to “know how to meditate” because I just listen and follow along with the recording. Easy peasy. And a little bit happier as I go back to my day.

My favorite meditations, even if the app a little clunky. I’ve tried all the mindfulness apps but enjoy this one’s actual meditations the most - good guidance, nice categorization. The wheels tend to be slow to load and I’m confused by having to change wheels when I want to find a different category, but they got the most important thing right. Would love to see a list of all available meditations more easily accessible.

Downloading forever and big storage space. When you open up the app it you in and says it has to “download media”. Why are we downloading media? And why is it taking ten minutes?? I want to wake up in the morning and open the meditation app and do the morning meditation but nope. I don’t want to take up a lot of storage on my phone. They should have an option where if you want to download it you can. This app takes up almost a whole GB of data! How is that possible. Ugh I should’ve stuck with headspace.

So. Helpful!. Literally a life changer if you use it regularly. Have been so thankful for this app through some hard times, as well as the not so hard times as a regular, easy way to meditate. It has also made me take more time to practice self care/mental care on my own, too. Love it! Thank you, Buddify!

Favorite app. This is a fantastic app for keeping up with a daily meditation practice and has really helped me get through some tough transitions. Also, some awesome British accents and soothing voices that have helped me learn more about myself and breathe through stress with mindfulness. I’ve really grown a lot this past year with this app.

update improves already-great app. I didn't use buddhify as much as I used to because I've gone through all the meditations and knew most of them backwards and forwards. I appreciate this new full-featured update and the ability to customize the wheel, add more of what I like and remove the things I don't like.

Glitches galore. Wow, not at all pleased to buy an app with so many glitches right out of the gate. API error codes showed on all my devices after first time opening. Then database errors on second opening, once I created my account I couldn’t save any of the changes I made to the wheel to access the different meditation. It just kept saying it couldn’t access the wheel at this time. Overall wish I could get a refund. The one meditation I’ve done was pretty so so. I’m just not feeling like this app was worth the money.

Brings creativity to meditation. The variety of meditations offered helped me see that there are many forms of being present and practicing in daily life. The app’s design made me feel that any combination of styles of practice was a valid way to practice. In general, the app and Rohan’s articles communicated to me as an adult, without patronizing or cutesy elements. The fact that the business model is not a subscription also feels good. The only minor criticisms I have is that I wish there were more silence in the guided tracks, and that I would like tracks about boredom and apathy. Thank you so much for making this!

Really wonderful. This is a wonderful collection - a very large and wonderful collection - of extremely useful mediations. Thank you. Seriously, thank you very much. You have helped me through some difficult times.

Wonderful Meditation App. This is the best meditation app I’ve come across and I’ve used a few. There’s a wealth of choices and options to help me stay focused on my practice. I opted for the full meditation package to deepen my practice and I’m glad I did. But you don’t have to if your content with the free content they have, there’s plenty!

Wonderful idea, but …. I find the idea of the wheel interesting. But in reality, I assumed I would be getting much more for my purchase. In truth, I feel a bit swindled because what my purchase actually got me was an ad for buying the membership. Without the membership, these meditations lack variety, music, and the creativity needed for me to keep coming back.

Great meditation app!. What I love about buddhify is the categories, and the choices within those categories, so you can get a guided or unguided meditation for whatever mood or experience you’re dealing with. I have been using it for years and I haven’t found one yet that I didn’t enjoy. ❤️

Excellent for dealing with any emotion. Love this app! With the one exception of loading time, this app is great for handling any emotion that may come up siting your day. You can step away from chaos at work, help establish a good day before getting out of bed, or listen as you go to sleep to help calm your thoughts for a good nights rest. Highly recommend!

Gifted idea!. This app is truly a good one and worth every penny! The creator is truly gifted to create an affordable app. I love the different approach to meditation that includes different scenarios on a day to day basis which is effective. Based on my satisfaction, I'm planning to make a list of friends and relatives whom I can gift this app to. Thank you so much for creating a wonderful app!

Best meditation app out there. I’ve been using buddhify for over a year now. It has really helped me with my meditation practice. The level of care that goes into this app is exceptional. One thing that separates Buddhify from other popular meditations app, is that they only charge an upfront fee. There is no monthly subscription. This is definitely not a profit oriented company that has been backed by some big investment group. For this reason, I think it is one of the purest meditation apps out there. I was initially critical of the new version that came out in January (I wasn’t a fan of the new statistics), however, now that I have lived with the new version, it is definitely a brilliant update. Well done

Great app. Most of these guided meditations are great. The only issue I have is that some of the meditations have too much talking and not enough empty space for the actual meditation (e.g. Kind). I understand guided meditations and the need for the facilitator to guide by talking but there needs to be space to do what the facilitator is suggesting we do. Please stretch out the non talking times.

Should get 10 stars!. I have used this app for sitting meditation, walking on my treadmill and getting to sleep. There is NO chance of boredom here as there are multiple meditations for each application. There is a short description of each, as well as the duration which makes it easy to plan. The speakers’s voices are calm, soothing, not rushed. I have tried other apps, but this one is the best of all.

Life changing. I just listed to the Rain meditation for the first time in a long time and I had to come review the app. Buddhify completely changed my life! I used to be so depressed and anxious and these mediations taught me how to stop those negative mind loops. I owe my happiest to y’all and I’m so thankful I found this app!

Great app. Still lacks UI proficiency.. I’ve been a user for quite some time and adore this app, and the meditations. What continues to frustrate me is the app being unable to load unless completely closed, crashing, blanking on screen. and the cumbersome user experience - the app design doesn’t feel fit for mobile and consequently feels unfinished.

My favorite meditation app. This is the only one that I’ve found that isn’t trying to sign you up to “change your life” in some way with all the pressure that entails. Feeling good? It has something for you. Feeing bad? It’s got something just right. And for the day to day it’s got that too. That bit of context makes it that bit more approachable and useful.

Frustrating. Every time I lqunch the app it takes at least a minute to actually open...I’ve tried deleting the app and reinstalling, but that doesn’t help. The text on the wheel is so small that I can’t see it without reading glasses. A little inconvenient when you’re in bed trying to listen to one of the sleep segments.

Most complete meditation app available. For me, Buddhify is the most functional app with the most types of meditation. The layout is beautiful and very easy to navigate, and it’s always possible to find a meditation to fit your situation. It is by far my favorite meditation app.

No Dev Support - Useless. I’ve tried for weeks to get ahold of support/the devs to get a password reset for my account. The password reset link on their website does nothing and they do not respond to direct emails. Without being able to log into my account (and I shouldn’t have to create a new one to circumvent this issue) this app is useless. Many of the features and meditations are dependent on logging into your Buddhify account. So, for me and any others like me locked out, this app is now useless.

Wonderful app!. I love the layout of this app. It gives me space to address a specific mental need for the day, whether it’s amplifying my gratitude, my capacity for an open heart, or tackling anxiety and fear. It also has a wide range of kinds of meditation, meaning it’s great for both advanced and beginner meditators.

No longer works.. This used to be my favorite meditation app. Now, it doesn’t work. It says it’s downloading an update, but never finishes. There’s a button that says “skip update” and it doesn’t work. I’ve tried this on two different phones now and it just won’t work. I was contacted by someone in charge the last time I voiced this concern. I tried to email them back and answer the questions they had and they never replied back to me. I really hate having to say all this because I think the people who make the app have good intentions. This is just unacceptable for an app I paid money for.

Buddhify is a lovely meditation app. I love their philosophy behind meditation. It's open and accepting yet so real. "Gratitude" is one of my favorite tracks. I have also listened to the sleep set many times. Each set makes meditation more accessible. So many insights. I recommend it to people whenever I hear they meditate. Everyone meditates differently though!

Again, latest update is terrible. Have tried using this app since your newest layout and updates. It’s awful. When I “skip update” none of the meditations work. It says “error not fully downloaded”. then I sit through the update (3-4 minutes) and STILL I get errors. I know you want to make it better. But more features don’t necessarily mean a better experience. I paid for this app, and I loved the previous layout. I never had any issues with downloading or finding what I need. Can I get my money back so I can find a different one??

Just what I was looking for. After spending months researching an easy and effective way to meditate, I found this app. It is exactly what I needed- easy access, wide range of meditations, and soothing voices. I use this app at least once a day and recommend it to anyone looking to better their lives. ❤️

Great tool but takes too long to load. When I first started using this app years ago it took no time at all to load on my phone. Now it takes close to a minute to open before i can select a guided meditation. I hope there are solutions to this loading problem soon! Besides that, I love the content and concepts taught in the app.

Good Meditations But Difficult to Use. The few meditations I’ve heard were decent, but as others have stated, opening the app always results in an”downloading media” state that takes forever. The skip button never works, and I usually just close the app after a few minutes of waiting for content that I didn’t request to download. When I do wait for the content download to complete, I almost always receive an error. Just not worth the waste of time.

Takes forever to open then error message. I would give this app 5 stars if it worked, but it is frustratingly slow to open because it tries to update every time I open it. It tries to download updates, fails to do so, then gives an error message. Surely I’m not the only one this happens to. Kind of defeats the purpose of having a meditation app. Is there a fix for this?

Unable to save edits to wheel. I’ve had this app for less than a day, and I have been unable to successfully subtract and add categories to my main wheel. All steps up to saving changes are possible, but when I click save I see an error message that there is a problem saving my changes. One of the main reasons I purchased this app is its customizable meditation category features. I hope the developers are on top of this. With its current limitations, the app is a disappointment.

Just awful. This is an absolutely terrible app. The meditations are monotonous, the voices are not soothing and there is no background music. There is always 2 min of talking before the meditation. I wanted the app to help with sleep. It only has 12 sleep meditations, and again, they are awful to listen to. I feel like this company/app padded the 5 star reviews to make it seems like it is the best meditation out there. Also, you have to pay upfront before listening. No trial period. No recourse. Just awful!

Accessible and flexible. This app has changed my life and made mediation work for me. Multiple different lengths (from 2-20 min) and topics mean I can easily find time to clear my head at my desk, on the train, going to sleep, coming home. Meditation went from something I want to do, to something I do daily. It’s nice to know when I’m having a rough moment, there’s a meditation for it in Buddhify.

Best Portable Meditations. Buddhify is the best meditation app by far. The choices of focus are vast and the teachers voices are soothing to listen to. I have been a meditation practitioner for decades and love guided meditations. I listen most often to the tracks for falling asleep or dealing with pain and difficult emotions. It is also fun to try a new track and see what happens.

Decent idea but terrible app. This would be a really great app if it weren’t for the fact that it fails to update. Every time I open the app, especially in times of stress or need, I am told the app wheels are updating or downloading media. Then I wait several minutes to be told “error downloading from API error 377i” This happens every single time and no content is ever updated on my wheels. Really disappointed that I spent money on an app to help me meditate through stressful events or moments pending on panic attack, as my therapist suggested, and this is the garbage content I receive.

Meditations are good, app is wonky. Just started using this app. I like the meditations themselves but app takes over a minute to load and then I keep getting error messages so it’s not very appealing to use each morning. There’s no way on the app to contact the company to ask about the problems and the Twitter message I sent to try to inform them about it hasnt been responded to.

Great variety, easy to use, soothing voices. I love all of the different kinds of meditation they have and the encouraging words at the end of each meditation. I also like that they don’t push daily meditation, like not pushing people to focus on quantity but instead quality. The annual subscription price of $30 is very reasonable also. Thank you Rohan and team!
