  1. 5/5Wonderful Meditation App

    This is the BEST app for all stages of meditation-beginning to advanced. I love the pre-set meditations, but even better is the section where personalized meditations can be set up. This includes opening prayer to a closing bell or Aum....and everything in between. It’s truly terrific to choose which chants and prayers I would like to use and then be able to follow. I’ve meditated on my own for several years and just love the feeling that I’m meditating with the entire Ananda group. I’ve even gone back and reviewed the “how to meditate “ section and the inspiration section. The entire app is set up logically and very intuitive to use. Great job!

  2. 5/5Meditation sublime!

    A truly wonderful app that really teaches you to take stock of your current lifestyle and eliminate attitudes and beliefs that have had the effect over many lifetimes of distancing you from God. It makes you realize where and how you have gone astray and shows you how to get back again to where you are meant to be!

  3. 4/5I love Ananda Meditation app

    I have been studying meditation in an online course from Ananda. I found out about this app and tried it. It helped me learn the Energization Exercises better by following the video. I have meditated more deeply than usual by listening to the first of about 8 guided meditations - the 25 minute one given by Swami Kriyananda. I gave 4 rather than 5 stars because there is only one short meditation available so far. Having a number of 5 - 20 minute audios of guided meditations would be very valuable for both beginners or even more experienced meditators who want to add another meditation that doesn't take as long. Thanks, Ananda, for this wonderful app and all you do!

  4. 4/5Best meditation practice and technique for concentration

    Ananda meditation is the best practice and technique for starting the day with focus and clarity. The only thing I would say could be changed is some of the choppy video and options for putting a full practice / routine together. More yoga options would also be great since it helps take one into meditation more easily if one's mind is busy. Would love to have tips on how to chant and the instrument called the harmonium.

  5. 5/5Fabulous meditation app! 👍🏻

    This is a simple to use meditation app. Full of different types of meditations; from guided, to visualizations. Timed with chanting and prayers and without. And many combinations in between. Plus sections on tips and more. And it’s good for anyone who wants to create a practice, sustain a practice, or restart their practice!
