Reviews for Happier Meditation

I am currently reading through the Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics book, and have been enjoying it quite a bit, but was still having a hard time actually taking the first steps to meditate - but the guided meditations through the app, as well as the little tidbits by the books author are very helpful. I'm not in a place right now where I can afford to drop $100 on a subscription service all at once, but will be coming back to the app in a few months when I have a little more disposable income.

recently purchased the app after completing the Ted Lasso Challenge. I enjoyed the course, and I freqently listen to the podcast, so I decided to subscribe. I'm rating it four stars instead of five, because I think it would be better to have the option to favorite an entire course rather than individual sessions within a course. For now, I'll favorite the first session in a course for those I want to take in the future.

I've tried Headspace & Insight Timer and never liked them enough to purchase a subscription. With this app, I knew the first day I used it that it was perfect for me. It not only has courses that teach you how to further your practice and learn about the mind but it also has an unguided timer so you can take everything you learn and practice on your own. I highly recommend this app for all "levels" of meditators. Dan and his team truly have thought of everything! PS - the podcast is awesome too!

App doesn't seem to work anymore. It doesn't remember my login and forces me to go thru the create new account workflow every time, asking me questions I don't want to answer. For example I don't want reminders to meditate. It's been nothing but trouble since renewing my subscription. Grrrr. Edit: Several uninstalls/reinstalls later + a meditation session, I'm back in the app, feeling calmer, more rational.

Great information and follow up to the book. Having read the book and trying meditation in the past I like the explanation part before each medication as it gives you something to focus on during the meditation. Also, different coaches help appeal to a wider audience rather then listening to the same voices over and over. Also, I like the 'focused', like sleep and anxiety related meditations as well.

I only had a 7 day free trial. I think the overall setup of the app is great and the seven day Basics I course is also great. My only complaint is that the free trial offer should be for thirty days, which would give the user more time to determine if they want to pay the whole annual fee, especially since there doesn't seem to be an option to pay month by month.

I have been a ten percent app user for a year and a half. Having used several other subscription meditation apps, I can tell you that what I like about this one is the ease of finding what you want, the various ways to interact with the content (watching or just listening), the diversity of teachers. As a physician, I also appreciated the free access during the pandemic for health care workers, including medical students (who are often overlooked, but could use the financial break the most).

As a very experienced meditator, I was looking for something to help me get back into my practice. I did the 7 day trial. Like the content and the fact that it has various subjects and "levels," although maybe a bit lacking on the deeper level meditations. Having said that, I think the price is WAY TOO STEEP - for information and practices that are very widely available, and should be made accessible. Too much of a money grab for my tastes 👎

I was never one for meditation, so my rating is more for the app itself as I don't have anything to compare the actual meditation to, this app is amazing! Easy to use, set reminders, and track your journey. I'm on a temp trial so I can't speak for price but when it comes time I am going to pay, the benefits are worth the money to me and plus.....I would spend the money on something less helpful anyway so win win!! Update: purchased the subscription and if I could rate higher than 5 I would.

Wonderful instructors, excellent content. As a user that started after listening to Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics, I was initially unsure about other instructors besides Jeff. I can firmly say there was nothing to worry about - all the instructors are very engaging! I do wish there was a way to find saved meditations more easily, and set a few favs on a home screen, but otherwise the app is very solid and easy to use.
