1. 5/5Download it rn 🩵

   Seriously the best meditation app on the market!! It’s SIGNIFICANTLY better than headspace, calm or any of the other big sell out mindfulness apps. This app is totally free, the developers of this app are saints who thankfully havent sold out (please don’t ever) and become a big money hungry corporation because they actually care about really helping people and making a difference in the world 🫶🏼 This app has a meditation for almost everything. I’d LOVE for them to add more topics like deep nervous system regulation mediations, sound baths, more anxiety stuff especially with specific things that commonly come along with anxiety like dpdr/feeling disconnected & getting overstimulated etc. 🤞🏼 Another thing i love about this app is you can adjust the background sounds a bunch and change the voice of the person guiding the meditation (wish there were a few more relaxing options for voices but the ones they have are decent). There’s also intro beginner videos for meditation if you’re new to all this along with cute mystical bedtime stores & even mediations for kids 💕 10/10 recommend, really great job dev’s i appreciate you so much you don’t know how much you’ve helped me! ps the tracker for mindful days is awesome and actually motivates me to stay consistent 🫶🏼

2. 5/5Really Terrific App!!

   I’ve been looking for a meditation app that has all the essential features and I finally found it! Here are some things that I love: First, the guided meditations are the real deal; they work. Second, there are a whole slew of extra features for managing anxiety like the music loops and sound effects for background noise (all complete with beautiful art and minor animation). Third, were the bedtime stories, narrated and written well, in different genres for all ages! I showed this app to my sister who said she wanted to use it for her preschool classroom management because of the children focused meditations, calming stories, and white noise features. I highly recommend! I do have a question though. When I’m looking for a story to listen to, there is an arrow that says to tap to see more options but whenever I do it takes me to a blank screen. I tried re-downloading the app in case mine had a glitch and it didn’t fix the problem. Can anyone help me fix this issue so I can listen to more stories?

3. 5/5Great meditation made accessable to all.

   I think the primary goal of this app is to make meditation something everyone can get their hands on. Soothing Pod offers a completely free experience with no ads, which you appreciate very much when you're broke but still want to relax. There are different meditation packs, if you will, filled with different sessions that together teach a skill or guide you in some way (e.g. how to meditate, managing stress, etc.). There are single meditations, sleep meditations, music, sounds, and stories — my personal favorite. They are so, so diverse. Classics like The Little Mermaid and Alice in Wonderland, biographies like that of Anne Frank, and very descriptive audios that just narrate a scene or something. There's stuff for kids and adults alike, and I think they add new things every day as well. And, as I mentioned, all of it is free. No ads, no memberships, no nothing. The develpers clearly want everyone to be able to better themselves at no charge and I really admire that they were able to disregard revenue for that purpose.

4. 5/5New content every day, fabulous!

   I have tried many similar apps in the past, even though this is a brand new app - it’s beyond every expectation already. I am completely delighted with the soothing voices of narrators for meditations, and still trying to decide which story teller is my fav so far. The amazing part is they have new content everyday! Each day you get new meditations and other content that help you relax and keep calm through the rest of your day. I love listening to the music they have while I do other things during the day, and I am completely impressed with the travel sounds, feels like as if you have been teleported to all those amazing places. Videos are wonderful and so realistic! After a very busy and often very hectic day, I love listening either to their sleep meditations or bedtime stories. They have meditations, stories and music for children as well. I highly recommend this app, you will enjoy new daily journey on it.

5. 5/5Best sleep I’ve ever had

   I’ve never tired meditation before and I have tried so many different techniques to help me fall asleep but I could never turn my mind off. It would take me hours to fall asleep, when I finally did it was such a light sleep I would wake up so easily and toss and turn I hated going to bed! I finally had enough and I wanted to try meditation before bed and I searched different apps and this one was my favorite no adds, free, and so many categories. The first night I tried the deep sleep yoga nidra and I have used it every night since! I have never felt so calm, and clear minded before while trying to fall asleep. The meditation is so simple and soothing you just have to listen and focus and before you know it you are sleeping like a baby. I am truly grateful for this app I have been praying for help with my restless nights and my prayers were answered! Thank you soothing pod!
