Oak - Meditation & Breathing 4+

100% Free!!

My favourite meditation app by far!! Everything looks like it’s for free unlike these other mediation apps and this app also tries to motivate you by having your own tree (it grows the more time you spend meditating) The app also gives you some neat little statistics about who is meditating right now in the community or what breathing technique they are doing and it is just awesome! I can not recommend this app enough as I simply love it, my only suggestion is maybe the developers can include more variety of sounds and Wisdom videos and maybe the female/male who talks to you through guided meditation can sometimes say different things to you instead of the same thing every time so you feel like someone is actually teaching you how to mediate in real life. Keep up the good work guys and I hope this app soars in popularity over time as it is underrated.

Noice

A clean and simple app that knows what it wants to be. The design choices purchase it an intuitive space that allows the app to get out of the way while it decreases the friction in beginning or picking up your practice.

My only (admittedly petty, ego driven and self interested) qualm is that the streak ends when the day ends and not 24 hours after the last meditation. I practice at night, so if I go to bed late I can’t text my enlightened meditation e-peen combo to my friends and enemies.

Perhaps when they’ll see me levitating down the street while they’re walking they’ll know I’m on a hot one.

Good app but no tree

I got this app after reading about it through the app spotlight, where the article mentioned it encourages continued meditation through the growth of your own personal Oak tree. I don’t have a tree in my app, instead progress is tracked through badges. I’m a little disappointed as I thought the tree concept was beautiful and engaging!
That said, this is a lovely simple to use meditation app with a small number of selections. I use the sleep programs and find they greatly improve my sleep, however have one suggestion: fade in and out voices and fade out background noise when the timer is finished. Otherwise it tends to wake you!

Well done developers, would have been lovely to see the initial growth concept of the tree but still a lovely app.

Developer Response ,

Thank you for the detailed feedback! We're sorry about the absence of the growing tree -- unfortunately the 'App Spotlight' is outdated and refers to a previous version of the app. Sorry about that.
