The sound technology that this marvellous app uses has at least 50 years of research behind it and is continually evolving all the time. It's definitely worth trying it out for yourselves. As someone who only likes to meditate for short periods, the app works wonders for me and my personal circumstances. I am eternally graftul for the magical life I am manifesting since attending the Monroe gateway program in the UK and using this wonderful app. 🥰
Reviews for Expand: Beyond Meditation
It is very difficult to rate the meditations when 4 out of the 5 times I have used the app, it has crashed after about 10 minutes. There are no issues with my Internet nor my device. I have paid the yearly subscription only to have each experience with the app completely ruined. I would like a refund.
I would say this is a great app and I have not had any issues so far. I would like to make a suggestion for the timers through. Especially with Focus 10 and above, would be nice to have the option to have C1 tones at the end so I feel safe to continue with daily activities. Also a way to chain meditations and timers like a playlist would be nice. But I think having the C1 tones at the end would be more important for safety reasons.
My biggest issue is I can't use the app offline. We suffer frequent blackouts here and being unable to use it during these times is frustrating. I also wish we could once off purchase the high quality audios available in the app. I only use 4 and would like access to them when the internet isn't available. Edit: offline mode is here!
Enjoy the Meditations, but I'm paying the $69.99/yr and not all are unlocked. 3 stars mainly due to having to pay an additional $69.99/yr ($139.98). Subscript renewal in 6 months may drop due to finances! all apps and subscriptions eating us up.
App is well designed. I feel the range of options are far too little.
Don't know why my reviews keeps disappearing. Very strange, but 2 reviews now gone, so here is my 3rd. No app is worth over £50 per year. It seems an ok app, but, am I prepared to pay for full subscription and then find out it's not all that ? No thanks. If for instance it was a monthly subscription, I might give it a go, but to pay all that money to a supposed none profit organisation and find I don't get much from it ? If say 1 million people people subscribed, that's over 50 million pounds.
Having these meditations available on my phone is such a treat. The specialised sounds help me quickly get to a relaxed state. Sometimes my partner and I listen to them together with both headphones in my phone. He loves them too. They can relax you or take you on a journey to explore. I always look forward to using them and often treat myself to them.
The "timer" audio (not the best name) are excellent, I use the sleep one three or four times a week when I can't sleep and it works very well most of the time. Some of the other meditations are good although many have quite cheesy music. I really really wish that they would allow to listen to the timer audio offline, as when you're on a plane a few of these would be very useful. Otherwise I'll have to try and record the audio via a PC emulator which is not ideal.
I really like the app and how all is structured. Also I really appreciate The Monroe Institute... however I stopped using this app. I would suggest to change the narrators (or maybe use a cotton like filter, which smooths out the voices), since it's a bit too street like,maybe more professional narrators would do it? Once I even startled out of a meditation because the voices sound edgy, too sharp. Good luck 🤞
