Mindset: Hypnotherapy & Sleep 12+

Good app if....

The idea & concept of this app is actually really good, but only for those who can go into a trance. Not everyone can.
It’s a shame you HAVE to sign up to a subscription from the get go even if you do get a weeks free trial. This is clearly a business decision in the hope people will forget to cancel their subscription. Which I think is morally wrong as this can put people off, people who could really benefit from this app and may be needing help the most.
Anyway! Really good app if you can go into a trance. Still a good app if you are open to this sort of thing & just need some ‘me time’

Hi Angel,

Thanks so much for your feedback! We're so glad you find the app helpful :) I definitely understand the frustration around having to sign up for a subscription in order to access the free trial but unfortunately that's a decision driven by Apple, not us (we're definitely are not trying to optimise for people forgetting to cancel) but I'm glad you were able to overcome the hesitation and give it a go! Thanks, Alex

Inspirational

The sessions are inspirational. What Dr Yapko shares is truly profound. The content for £60 is truly superb when you think that this is usually the price of a single therapy session in the UK. Wholehearted thanks to Dr Yapko and the developers for all their hard work here in bringing this to us. Yes it costs money, but let’s appreciate what it offers. Some of the messages can be life changing. What price do we place on wisdom? It is priceless.

Areas that could be improved.

No one replies to the support messages which is unprofessional for a paid app.

The negatives are that the trial period is too short, you need a trial of a month to really appreciate it. I could afford to lose the £60 subscription but many can’t and are missing out on the teachings here.

I’d like to know how I can share the app with family without purchasing a whole new subscription. Could there be a family subscription?

The content is a little confusing at first and a free trial of a week isn’t enough to get your head around it.

Colours on content need a higher contrast

Headspace has a better trial system

Hi, sorry for the negative review without using the app but I have to say products that try to auto sign me up with and opt out not to pay make me feel like you don’t value the content and are simply hoping I forget to cancel the trial. Headspace has 10 ‘basics of mediation’ sessions you can access for free without entering payment details etc (I know that’s mediation and this is not but I feel it’s a similar/competitor app) I did these free sessions then immediately signed up as I valued the content. They also allow me to pay a monthly cost so if I change my mind I haven’t paid a huge upfront cost. I get you need to make money but I and I’m sure many others are going to get turned of by this approach before we even try it. I’d love to hear from you if this changes as I would really like to see how the service works and if I can help me!

Thanks really appreciate the feedback, we actually do have a monthly option if you prefer. If you email me here: chris@themindsetapp.com, I'm happy to work out a way to access some of the sessions without starting a trial in exchange for your thoughts on the hypnosis content - we're really trying to improve so we value this highly!
