I have tried a LOT of mental health apps. I often find that they either require too much for me on low energy days so I find myself getting overwhelmed, or they don't give the guidence and challenge to keep me motivated so I end up forgetting to use them. This app seems to get the balance well though. It gives a daily requirement that isn't too big, but is motivating to log in every day, and then the ability to do more if I want to. I seem to function best achieving things when they are gamified and when I feel like I am achieving more than just looking after myself by keeping up with my self care. Not only do I earn coins for what I do in this app and get to see my 'garden' of flowers increase each day,but I can even use my coins to by real life trees for the charity this app partners with to plant out in the real world as well as for different plants for my virtual garden. That's great motivation as well as how much encouragement you are given in the app!

This app is a lovely idea and seems to make meditation much more accessible than other apps I’ve tried, but alas there are so many problems with the app: from having to restart the app each time you get stuck on one page with no ‘back’ option, to payments for Pro options being taken with no actual Pro options unlocked, with videos being only able to play once even if not watched all the way through. (Lots of spelling mistakes throughout the app too, and no response when I contacted the team for help with payment issues.)

Didn’t enjoy this app. Wouldn’t let me cancel free 7 day trial then took full payment without issuing a reminder.

Love the daily challenges and different styles of meditation. Its narrated in such a calm and peaceful voice. Lovelovelove 😊

Such a beautiful relaxing app for those new to mindfulness and seasoned meditators alike. The visual aspects of the app are so calming, making it easy to use and navigate. There are many meditations to chose from, ranging from different lengths to different overall goals, and you can set goals for yourself and there is also the road map to follow to make it easy to see where you’re at. You also have your mind garden where can you grow flowers for every day you have used the app and practiced mindfulness which is a cute little feature I like. There’s also a “story” panel featuring calming comic strips with cute designs, daily updates from the creators and also daily mantras and quotes! So there is literally something new every single day to have a look at. It really is such a beautiful useful app, and well worth a try!

Love this app. It contains a huge range of guided meditations for many purposes such as help with calming anxiety, increasing focus and motivation, expressing gratitude and much more. Mood tracking feature is also great as well as the daily gratitude prompts. Great app for making meditation part of your daily routine and cultivating mindfulness.

Totally different from other meditation apps in the sense that it is built to be enjoyable much like a game. It really a game changer in the meditation app arena. I think with the functionality and variety of content, people from all ages can enjoy it and build a practice around it because it simply makes meditation fun. I have other apps like Headspace et al but I never seem to do more than 3 days with those. Mindgarden engages you to log in each day and meditate, journal, reflect on your mood at that moment and to keep planting those flowers in your garden of mindfulness. Before you know it, you’ve already gotten used to meditating! The meditation sessions also have a different take and perspective on life. You know that is well thought of and experienced. The voice over is soothing and calming. I am very impressed! Thanks Mindgarden.

I’ve used other globally/well known apps for meditation purposes in the past, although I’ve struggled to remain disciplined/consistent. Even at the early stages of using MindGarden, I already know this will help me massively. The interactive element of the app makes it far more personal and it’s an absolute bonus that Bijan himself plays a huge part in the app/company. I come across his work and content over the last year and I’m so pleased I did. Would highly recommend both the app and all his other content > @lifewithbeej

This app is fantastic. I love Bijan’s voice - it’s perfect for meditation. I have followed him for some time on IG. He says such wonderful, sensible things and has such a calm outlook on life, he’s a true inspiration. I have done a few days, and even just the 30 second breathing meditation helped me feel instantly calmer. I love how it gives you a monthly mood tracker (have tried for some time to keep one in a journal and failed!). The meditations end with a chime from a prayer bowl and that itself is soothing. Looking forward to carrying on this practice and finding peace within the stresses of daily life.

I’ve really been trying to make an effort to meditate more regularly and MindGarden has played a huge part in kickstarting my meditation journey. I mean come on…. An app that provides a safe space to not just practice meditation, but also practice gratitude, what more could you ask for? I would go as far as saying MindGarden is the ULTIMATE Mindfulness app! I would highly recommend giving this app a go.
