The app has wonderful inspirational affirmations and meditative thoughts. The problem is when I turn on the alarm feature the app crashes every time. Also, the meditation music turns off when my screen times out or when the meditative thought is finished. It constantly takes stops me from my meditation to turn the screen back on to resume the music.

I love this app that I been subscribed to for several years now on my android phone. I switched to an iphone and I can't figure how to switch my subscription which has 6 more months on it paid. I would appreciate support contact me to resolve this issue. Thank you.

The messages are good but don't bother paying for a subscription. I thought I would get 365 unique messages but I am sometimes getting 3 to 4 repeats in a 7 day period. The random algorithm is not random enough. I don't mind some repeats but I feel there is probably 50 unique entries at most that are cycled through. Alarm also doesn't work. Stick with free version, use your library card and hoopla app to check out her audio books. I've already cancelled subscription so let my $30 save you yours.

The advice is great (5 stars) but it seems that the app sequencing of the principles is off. I feel like I'm getting the same principles over and over. I understand there will be repeats at some point, but it seems to happen quite a lot, especially right after I renewed my subscription.

My experience was initially quite rewarding with daily awakenings with my yearly subscription. But once I renewed for another year I was stuck in the abyss of 3 principles weekly. I never received any support from the publisher (no app fix, no refund) Basically I feel ripped- off the second-go round due to non-existent communication with a customer support team. I will cancel my automatic renewal.

I'm lowering my rating of this app because it's a hot mess!!!!!!!!!!!!! I continue to install and uninstall, I have ACCIDENTALLY purchased 2 yearly subscriptions because I thought maybe it hadn't taken the money out of my account! You all took it TWICE and STILL HAVE NOT fixed these RIDICULOUS technical problems.....and even though I didn't like it, I checked the ALLOW button to my files when it asked for permission..which is RIDICULOUS for a dang app! If I could get ALL my money back, I would!

I just downloaded this app, it immediately asks for access my photos and other personal data on my phone. I don't know why a motivational app needs access to my personal info. So I denied it. App tells me it can't run without that access and shuts down?! Given the issues with abuse of peoples personal info, an explanation as to why you need access to my personal pictures and data would go a long way to easing my concerns.

I absolutely LOVE this App. For some time now, I have struggled with being STILL. The music lured me in. I stayed because the messages are so direct, with just the right dosages of wisdom that wherever I am becomes my safe space to breath and rejuvenate. It's like a jump start for your soul. Recently, I played it while visiting my Mother in the Nursing Home. She enjoyed it so much I had to add the App to her phone--- and place it on her front screen. Thank you so much!

Great concept...but doesn't deliver. Revised 12/20/19: I can not, in good conscious, recommend this app. About every other day I am forced to delete and reinstall this app. I get a warming "download failed b/c you may not have purchased this app". Who has time for this?!?! Considering how much this app costs, there should not be these issues.

I can feel the personal growth; even physically. Some things I no longer allow to drain my precious energy. This app is an easy beginners guide to mental clarity and helps the veteran establish a foolproof morning routine. Her voice omg the music omg and I think it changes throughout the day; smoothing in the morning and more upbeat in early afternoons, or either I receive it better. Listen with me and see guys download this app now. What can it hurt?
