We should be able to delete Apps. I don’t ever use this, but cannot seem to delete it
★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
Not for me. The lessons are very basic and I’ve been meditating a long time. I also can’t stand guided meditations. In addition, I’m turned off by the overly “scientific” language and approach. So I tried it out but it wasn’t a good fit for me.
★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors
App not working. After going through the introduction I cannot back into the program. Nothing seems to help
★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
Ends up being just agenda pushing nonsense. Started out good but then the “mediations” and lessons end up trying to change your world views instead of focused on mindfulness.

not a fan of my quiz results right out of the gate. i dont recommend criticizing and insulting users with your crunchy quiz. your answers may not represent the user’s feelings. totally turned off by being told my awareness is low. no thanks.

No email to sign up. Filled in my information for the registration process resent the email five times. Nothing my limit is usually two times great app.

Good for beginners maybe. If you’ve never heard the word “neuroplasticity,” maybe this is great for you
★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
Too structured and progress oriented. Felt pressured to work through stages. “Meditations” really no different from “Lessons.”

A simple fix is needed. your app won’t display in landscape mode on my iPad Pro, which I use with a Logitech keyboard combo. So every time I open it and have to read it sideways,I immediately lose interest, and go elsewhere.

Can’t sign in. When I try to sign in as an individual the does nothing. It appears as if it’s trying but after a lengthy time (10min +) nothing happens. I give a review on something I can’t even try. SMH

Not for iPhone se?. Doesn’t seem to work with iPhone se. I am unable to click on the “sign up” button because the initial screen seems to only work for larger phones.

Won’t Open. I have downloaded the app 4 different times and it will not open. The main screen pops up for about 15 seconds and then closes. I was really excited about this app and would love for this issue to be fixed.
★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions
Cost?. There is a great need for transparency here! I just read about the app and pressed GET on my device and got the message that my “ payment “ was processed. There is no indication anywhere of what the amount was beforehand or afterward. What gives?
★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions
More people trying to get rich. Charging for meditation is almost Criminal. Something we should learn how to do and would it would be best to learn it from someone that doesn’t charge for it. Americans and their culture appropriation so they can earn a buck is down right disheartening.

He talks to loud. Can’t figure out how to turn his abrasive voice down.
★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
Presentations too fast, poorly organized content. The concepts behind this app are important and probably ground-breaking, but it is so frustrating to use, I will be deleting it. First, it's close to impossible to return to specific meditations or learning sessions that you may find helpful, unless you take the time to back out of the lesson, then note and memorize how it is "mapped", like on a PC. Or is the assumption that users will become proficient at or memorize these sessions after only one hearing? (I think there is ample evidence in the literature to illustrate that memorization is not a good strategy for learning.) Second, one of the main presenters consistently speaks too fast, like a radio newscaster with a limited time slot or a student rushing through a class presentation that he just wants to be over. The speed at which the lessons are presented is so nerve wracking, it's a relief when the principal investigator makes cameo audio appearances, as both his tone and presentation speed are easy to settle into, enhancing comprehension. Finally, meditations meant to prepare for sleep are no different in tone or speed to other meditations-definitely not relaxing. I will be deleting this app and instead, read the primary research.
★★★★★slow performance and long loading times
App is great, but don’t let it write or access health section. I noticed that my phone was running super slow and couldn’t figure out why. The “other” category under storage was taking up the whole space. I had not done anything different other than allow access to the health section. Everything went back to normal the minute I disabled this option. For an app that is about healthy minds, the feeling that something is taking over your device without your knowledge is pretty bad.

Good tool. I am new with this app. I am still finding my way around it. I would like to find more meditations with minimal guidance.

voice. i can't relax while listening to a man's voice thanks to ptsd. please give users more voice options!
★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific
Technical issues galore but otherwise love this app. This is the best meditation app I’ve ever used. I love that the sessions are sequential and you just follow the prompts to move through this tool. And Cortland’s voice is awesome on the guided meditations. It all feels more sciencey than woo woo. But ugh, the catch. It routinely won’t save my progress. I’ll repeat some sessions over and over hoping the app will finally sync. The only fix I’ve found is to completely delete the app and reinstall which is just such a pain. I’d say I’ve done that maybe 6x after using the app for a month or two. If that was fixed, five stars for sure.

Where are all the lessons?. I love the app but there are only 5 out of 10 exercises that show up as choices. And it keeps showing me the same meditation when I sign in. Disappointing.
★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific
Feeling open to the World. I have enjoyed listening to the Healthy Minds Program, 10, 15 or 20 minutes a day for 7 years. I have become a more relaxed and friendly person. After my morning meditation, look forward to each day.

Not enough pause time. I love love love this app and am so thankful to the creators! I just wish you would have a setting to allow more time between prompts during the practice. For example you say “settle in and focus on how your body feels” and then after like 5 seconds “think about the motivation for the practice”. I just don’t think that fast! :D please please please have a setting to prolong those pauses. I can even implement this for you as a volunteer <3

Love it.. I was lost suicidal & addiction was taking control of my life not is getting way better
★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific
not too bad. i just started this app recently and so far i’m likely it. i like how i can cb pose to focus on different lessons that help with mindfulness. for me there’s a small bug, im not able to always change the voice or time length of the lessons so that’s kind of annoying. not sure if it’s something on my part that i’m missing. but other than that i love this so far!
★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific
Love this program — definitely needs more space during practice. I started this program about a year ago and have nearly finished all of it. The techniques learned have been so critical in shaping my every day life. My only qualm, is that there is not enough time given between guidance during meditations to genuinely get into the flow of the practice. It’s quite jarring to be interrupted every minute or so to be checked back in with. I know that these are mainly techniques that we are learning in order to practice in our daily lives, but I think it’s equally important to have more space during the guided practice. Wish this could somehow be changed or have an option at least to select space given during meditation.

Fantastic app!. Great meditations well organized in a sequence but lacks offline loads for flights and off grid nature walks
★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific
Great app, but content isn’t loading. I’ve used this app for a few years and it has become my favorite meditation app. Lately nothing loads so i have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app, but mostly the content won’t load.
★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific
Change from Headspace. I used Headspace for a couple years, trying this app now. Similar but a bit different approach. We’ll see how it goes for a while.
★★★★★clear and easy workflow
Great progression, no offline use. Really great meditation progression, easy to use, nice to be able to favorite certain meditations to come back to and to be able to toggle the meditation tome for each guided meditation. The only thing keeping this review from being 5 stars is that there is no way to access any of the meditations on the app when offline. A huge bummer, and known issue for a long time that seems like healthy minds should be able to fix but hasn’t yet.
