Meditation by Soothing Pod 4+

This really is the best app I have ever used for meditation. I have tried many other well known apps and I just can’t settle into them. I guess everyone will always have to find something that suits them. I tried this one and never looked back. So for me her voice on this app is really soothing. I could listen to her all day. I love a guided meditation, I can’t just sit there and do it by myself. When you first sign up to the app they give you recommended meditations based on the few questions you are asked. Of course you don’t have to stick to those , you can choose whatever you want and there are so many to choose from !!!! I reckon by the time I have finished them all I can start again as I will have completely forgotten all what was in the first ones I did. To have all this relaxing music you can have on in the background for free to keep you relaxed is fantastic. I cannot get over how much is all free on this app unbelievable. Above all the guided meditations are brilliant. I don’t ever want this app to go and can only recommend you give it a try. You have nothing to loose it’s free .

I’m so impressed with this app, it’s a shame more people haven’t reviewed it. For a start it is 100% free, unlike some that a free for a couple of days, you get all the content, can choose between a male and female voice; set timers for how long you want the music, sleep sounds or stories playing for as well as their guided meditation/mindfulness. The guided meditation and mindfulness tracks have been really nicely put together, they give you how long they take and are great for beginners as well. I was surprised at how short some of them were but then the point of those ones is that it’s just about setting aside a little bit of time each day. I really do recommend the app for anyone (there’s a kids section and a sleep sounds for babies as well - great for new parents!). The interface is nicely designed and simple to navigate and easily on a par to the paid apps you get. I generally set mine to the sleep sounds as I drift off and have found I’ve had deeper more relaxing sleeps since using it. Give it a go, download it and try it out, if it isn’t quite for you then you haven’t lost out!

If I’m honest I was a little sceptical since nothing Good is free right? Well I was wrong. This app easily competes with headspace or calm. I especially the love the bed time stories although I would like to see more non fiction ones.

The only downside is the app is a little buggy and updates to content and fixes is somewhat slow. They have recently fixed some of the bugs. I’m not sure if it still applies but I found I had to set myself reminders within the app otherwise the notifications would stop the mediations/stories/sounds from playing.

P.s. I don’t say this lightly as I dislike paying for apps but I feel there should be a premium option (that is actually affordable) to help contribute towards the development of the app. I would more than happily sign up for that.
