Meditate Now! helps you calm down and teaches you the proper methods of meditating for specific reasons(sleeping, calming down, diet, etc).
While Meditate Now! doesn’t come with a bunch of things, they do include a good sample. So if you’re interested in sleeping, chilling out, diet, inner peace, studying, healing, golfing, or getting over something then this application is for you.
I like the idea of meditating, and while I can’t force myself to sit quiet and think to myself. . .I am happy to listen to soothing music and just calming down in general.
I think it would have been smarter to include these specific features(with the voice over). . .but I also think they should eliminate the voice over and let users JUST listen to soothing background music. That way they can think to themselves and mediate about whatever they want.
When you pick a menu item, the application will go into ‘media player mode’ and play an audio track. There aren’t any visualizations or anything(which I think could also improve this application as well), it just plays an audio track. The sounds are very soothing, and the fall asleep one really made my eyes get heavy and get sleepy(I’ve been yawning during this entire review). . .but sometimes the voice over can be annoying(again removing this vocal track as an option would be perfect).
I really, really wanted to like this app. Instead, I am disappointed and frustrated. The ads say that there are meditations for “Fall asleep, chill out, end emotional eating, inner peace,” etc. Instead, I got a whole different list of meditations, including: “millionaire, happy person, patient parent, healthy eater,” etc. Not that I don’t want to be all of those things, but it isn’t what I thought I was getting.
Probably the most annoying part of this app is that when the phone goes into sleep mode, the meditation STOPS! I either have to adjust the settings on my phone or keep pressing the screen every 30 seconds to keep the app in motion.
While the $1.99 price tag is reasonable for an app, it’s not reasonable for something that is not what you expect.
GREAT GREAT GREAT… I KNOW CAN MEDITATE!!!
