Muse: Meditation & Sleep for Android

Some users, like myself, are injured and need to meditate laying down. It is very hard to find the time and mindset to meditate… And then to have the experience of having to try several meditations before you find one that doesn’t start out with having you sit is extremely frustrating and counterproductive. You can lay for some sitting meditations. But it takes a while listening to get to the point where you find out if this is going to be one. And so, I’m going back to my painful day without having meditated after trying three that actually required sitting. When all I wanted to do was relax. Simply adding whether it’s a seated or laying meditation- or whether it is optional would make such a difference to those of us who literally cannot sit more than 20 minutes. I love the app and I love the idea. But I’m not getting anything out of the guided meditations that I paid for more than half the times I go to meditate.

Nice app but it bugs me that I can’t delete automatically saved sessions that distort my data because I fell asleep.

I have been using Muse for a couple of years and have owned several devices. Overall, I really like the idea of the S device in the current platform. However, I recently realized that if I fall asleep during a meditation, the meditation will keep running until I wake up and remove the headband. This resulted in an unintentional very long “meditation” session that I now can’t delete. The delete button for sessions is *tiny* and if you forget to delete right when you wake up, you’re stuck with an incredibly long session messing up your stats.

After paying good money for the headband I used to enjoy all the listening options with the Rain forest, sea shore etc. sadly they have disappeared and now there is an expensive pay wall for different options. I contacted support but alas no one has bothered to respond.

Called muse to help me out with fitting headband. Instead got told about “a very exciting offer” no matter if I press 1 for yes or # for no, I’m alway taken to a recording about this very very exciting offer and have never reached a live person to help me out with the actual issue. Which is: today, during a 10 minute session I was interrupted 4 times to adjust headband. I have used muse for 1 week and every single session was interrupted to adjust headband. I followed their instructions to wet forehead through to behind ears, pull back hair. Need to speak with someone for more advice. To me, I can’t count these 10 minutes as meditation time when I keep on getting interrupted. Very poor customer support.
