1 Giant Mind: Learn Meditation 4+

I LOVE this app. I always felt like I was doing something wrong when I mediated, but this app has given me so many tips and tricks, which has really built my knowledge and confidence. It's super easy to use and I love the Q&A videos after your meditation so you can get advice on things that you experienced or questions you have about the meditation. One seriously minor thing that I found a bit frustrating was after I had completed Step 3, my baby was crying and I wasn't able to read the Q&A's or add a journal entry, and when I opened the app again the next day to do Step 4, it said I hadn't competed Step 3. You can rewind the tracks but it doesn't let you fast-forward or skip to the end of a step, so I had the do the same 15 minute meditation again. Not a biggy but just a little frustrating if you have a technical phone issue for example and have to start at the beginning of each step again. Being able to fast-forward would be really handy. I don't think people will cheat themselves out of a meditation for the sake of it. Other than that I LOVE this app. Thanks so much for all the advice. I'm feeling so much more calm, refreshed and present.

I love this app. I’ve done a fair bit of meditation, though I’m still a novice in many ways, and I love everything about this app. I love the way it promotes a mindfulness technique where you simply notice whatever experience shows up in your mind and body, rather than struggling to make my mind focus on thing in particular Eg the breath, sounds etc.

I love all the little short help videos and how they normalise every part of the mindfulness meditation experience, such as the mind wandering. That feels very freeing and non-judgmental. It’s nice to have a journal section to write notes if I want to. And I’m enjoying the 30 day challenge where there’s flexibility to listen to a male, female, and choose different time periods for the mediation Eg 5mins, 20 mins. Highly recommend this app!

This was the first app that effectively taught me how to meditate when the others couldn’t and it came recommended from a friend.

For years, I recommended this app to others because of the excellent content and course.

This all changed from the point when this app went through a major overhaul. Ever since then it’s been nothing but painful to use. I sent an email hoping these would get fixed in a timely manner as I am very happy with the content. I got no response and It took them a long time to get them fixed but there are still issues.

When I was in an area with no internet - I couldn’t use the app because I had to download the timer again.

When I started having friends I recommended this app to complain the features aren’t working and they have to download the course or timer every time, even though they already had, I realised - This is an app I can no longer recommend.

Meditation was a steep learning curve, difficult to understand and practice. so when I found this course it helped me through that challenging learning curve.

I believe in the benefits of meditation and how life changing this can be but the app really makes it frustrating for people to adopt meditation when the App features aren’t working properly.

It’s morning and after the 100th time of downloading the timer I finally cracked and am writing this. I’m looking for another app.
