Description
Mindfulness means noticing and paying attention to what is going on in the present moment, without passing judgment on it. Mindfulness has been shown to be effective for reducing stress, improving emotional balance, increasing self-awareness, helping with anxiety and depression, and coping more effectively with chronic pain.
Mindfulness Coach 2.0 was developed to help Veterans, Service members, and others learn how to practice mindfulness. The app provides a gradual, self-guided training program designed to help you understand and adopt a simple mindfulness practice. Mindfulness Coach also offers a library of information about mindfulness (for example “What is Mindfulness?”, “How to Anchor Your Attention”), 12 audio-guided mindfulness exercises and a growing catalog of additional exercises available for free download, goal-setting and tracking, a mindfulness mastery assessment to help you track your progress over time, customizable reminders, and access to other support and crisis resources. Mindfulness Coach is free, doesn’t take or share any of your personal information, and doesn’t require add-on purchases.
Mindfulness Coach was created by VA’s National Center for PTSD.

Ratings and Reviews
Simple and easy to use - love it!
I’ve tried several different apps, but even before the “fancy” design it has now, this app has been my favourite due to its practicality. There are few modes of exercise, so my head is not bombarded with choices, which seem particularly stressing and tiring for me in everyday life already. All I want to do from a mindfulness app is to be easy and straightforward. Also, those which are available are easy to use and really helped me to build my concentration, as they halfway guide you and in the other part let it do in your pace. Finally, I love the medical information about how their practices work: it helped me to understand the theory of mindfulness, stress, and even adjust my lifestyle to suit my mental health afterwards.
App looks very nice, but..
The meditation doesn’t start when your iPhone goes in power save. When you turn on your iPhone again, then it starts, this does not work for me, as I lay my phone away when meditating and I was waiting for an end bell for ages.
Bad, hasty voice
The woman has a bad voice and speaks everything too fast. You can even hear her waiting to say the next line. Its a shame, hope that the app gets a new voice in it.
