Smiling Mind for Android

In today’s world, many mindfulness apps are loaded with adds and subscriptions that limit the user experience to the average person. However, this app is completely free to use and it has countless meditations to use for any specific purpose. I genuinely would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to delve into mindfulness. It is such a great tool.

I have been using this app for myself and with teens and found it really useful, especially for specific situations. My only issues are with the background music and the tracking feature. I find the music to be mechanical sounding (like a buzzing that increases and decreases) and would much prefer something more natural and soothing. I just turn it off for now. And in the section that shows my daily progress, the dates are wrong — it’s a full day behind! No idea how to fix that. But those are slight issues; overall this is a great app that has helped me to meditate more regularly and effectively!

At the end of each session, it makes me feel like I completed something good

i LOVE this app. it’s easy to use, has dark mode, you can easily see your progress, and it walks you through step by step. most of the meditation apps i’ve seen require a purchase to gain access to more than one super short meditation, but with this app you can do multiple meditations and select meditations for specific areas you’re trying to be more mindful in. i did want to mention this piece of advice (i know it wasn’t requested so take it if you want, leave it if you don’t) to the app developers: i would suggest you change the color of your app logo! red is often subconsciously processed as an alarming, high-energy color. when i was scrolling through meditation apps i almost didn’t download this one because of the red compared to all the other apps, which i noticed are mostly calming, cool colors like blues and purples. the calming colors just makes the mediation app seem like it would be more reliable. i do love the little smiling brain for a smiling mind thought :) i’d HIGHLY suggest this app to absolutely anyone trying to get into meditation!

What is it with so many apps requiring creation of a separate account? Deleted the app after I could not get past the sign in screen. Not going to create an account just to try it out. Suggestion: allow a guest or trial mode with a meditation or four that can be used without creating an account. If your app is “all that” folks like myself may be willing to sign up after they’ve had a taste…..
