Kids Wellbeyond — Meditations

My daughter and I have used this app as part of our bedtime routine for years. We were sad when a glitch in the update caused us to lose access to most of the meditations. Thank you, Wellbeyond for fixing this issue for us. We are glad that we can continue to enjoy this app as part of our quality family time.

My 4-year-old daughter asks to use this app regularly. In fact, she’s suggested meditation to other kids and has even used the kindness meditation at the park when she’s starting to feel overwhelmed. The different options (sleep, kindness, feelings, focus, and calm) and varied durations are very helpful for finding just the right meditation for the moment, and I’ve even used the sleep meditation to drift off myself!

This app is truly warm. From the paintings on the cards to the music and message of the meditations—it’s wonderful and it works great! It’s like a picture book in an app! It just feels very genuine and kind. I really recommend it!

It helps me sleep😇

My seven year old asks for the “My Sleepy Stuffy” meditation at bedtime. The woman’s voice is so calming. Wellbeyond meditations have become a part of our routine. Mindfulness and relaxation are needed even more now during this uncertain and stressful time.

For meditation apps, narration quality is paramount. So it’s too bad that the meditation guide sounds like she is in an echo chamber and don’t know how to read/perform meditation guidance. Get a professional sound engineer and performer you guys.

This is a cute app with great illustrations to help kids-or even adults-relax. However, it’s very difficult to get into the meditation because the narrator speaks too loudly, too quickly putting multiple words together at times, and sounds as though she is annoyed rather than calm and relaxed. Meditation should be soft and calm and relaxed in volume and tone. This app has none of that at all! I really wanted to love this app, but unfortunately I will use a different app. As a side note for anyone who does choose to use this app, the parental section of this app has a very weak barrier for kids. It just spells out four different numbers and gives you a key pad to type the numbers written out. Once that’s done, you’re in! This is how they try to prevent kids from getting into the parent section. However any kid over the age of 5 is going to be able to get past that in two seconds! I don’t know what they were thinking with that, but that’s not preventing any kid from getting in the parents section. Just a heads up for any parents out there!

I downloaded those for my daughter and I And was trying to see if I like it enough to purchase the full version. We tried the nap mediation, but I’m so distracted by the poor sound quality that I can’t focus on the message. It sounds like she’s on speaker phone in the bathroom... does the sound quality improve in the “paid”meditations?

It’s helped a lot it’s so amazing

We have been using this app for over a year with our kids. Had the free version, then upgraded to get all the meditations. It’s great for bedtime, calming, mindfulness, etc.. The kids even ask to use the meditations on their own now and will start them, curl up in bed and conk out. It’s been really useful to teach them to be still at bedtime and follow simple directions. Best few bucks we’ve spent on a kids’ app!
