UCLA Mindful

No bells and whistles. Actually, one bell at the beginning an one at the end of session. The more easily recognized commercial apps are so bloated with pointless variants and celebrity voices and mind trinkets that it completely defeats the purpose. This has absolutely everything you need to develop a meditation routine and what you need is very little. Enough practice and even the app itself become superfluous.

Update: this bug was fixed and addressed immediately. Thanks! The new update causes the audio to stop on iPhone every time the screen lock comes on. It never used to do this before the latest update. It has made it unusable.

Newest update doesn’t allow it to play on iPhone when screen is locked or when screen auto locks after a few minutes, ive tried deleting and redownloading it ! It makes it very hard to use for sleep, please fix this I use it daily !

This has become the one app for simple meditations that we always go back to. Her voice is wonderfully soothing.

The content is nice, but the ux is not ideal. The custom timer is doesn’t work as intended fur example.

Not a lot of distracting bells and whistles, just a nice selection of shortish guided meditations to help you establish your own practice, or to support your home practice while taking a meditation course. Thank you!

Disregard this review. I went to click on the version history and then the window expanded and I ended up clicking on a star rating that I couldn’t deselect. I have not used this app yet and cannot rate it. The App Store UX sucks. I would delete the star rating if I could.

I wish I’d known about this app sooner. Diana Winston has such a calm and balanced presence. I like having just one teacher or just a few people to rely on and hear each day. Some other meditation apps have way too many different people doing meditations. I prefer this style. Easy to navigate, simple to use and reliable.

The presenter talks way too much during the mediations. Very unnecessary and disturbing. Please correct. Thank you.

The loop repeat did not repeat when the screen is locked. I really hope the looping function works when the phone screen is locked. Thanks!
