[2013-08-24] A Google User: Native/save battery Great audio. And I agree with the comment above, would be great to be a native android app! Also the ability to turn screen off whilst listening to audio to save battery. Thank you |
|
[2013-08-19] A Google User: Great. No issues. Free right now too! Would be great is could close the display with app still running but still appreciate the app! |
|
[2013-07-17] A Google User: Love the concept but falls short I absolutely love the idea of tailoring meditations to the context of real life. But how can you use the traveling meditation if you're in a subway tunnel and the app has no offline option? That's HUGE to me, I thought surely this would have that option. The landscape-only display is annoying but not a deal breaker. The stopping once your screen turns off is extremely frustrating, only just today did I see the comment about the work around. So, 3 stars for now, this app still needs work. |
|
[2013-07-02] A Google User: The very first time.... I used this, I relaxed for five hours and even though I still had insomnia that night, I didn't become frustrated, upset, irritated, or anything other than contemplative. I might not have been RESTED the next morning, but I still was relaxed and not the least bit perturbed or rushed. I've definitely tried to make this a habit since then. |

[2013-06-05] A Google User: Pseudoscience |
|
[2013-06-03] A Google User: A well done app! The app has many different settings to tailor you meditation. WELL WORTH THE MONEY!. |
|
[2013-05-29] A Google User: Umm Sorry I purchased this. Audio recordings of people moderating meditations. I dont like the stylebof the moderations either. Could easily use YouTube or another service for free. |
|
[2013-05-28] A Google User: Love it! ★ Definitely recommended! 'Meditation on the go' sounds like an oxymoron but this app really relaxes me. I also use these techniques to help my deep meditation. ★ |
|
[2013-05-25] A Google User: Quite Satisfied This app does a very good job at focusing beginning meditators on the mindset they must have when meditating, and reminds those with meditative experience that they can mix meditation with work and play. It incorporates many of the Buddha's central teachings into a simple and easy-to-grasp way. High quality and well worth the menial price-tag. |
|
[2013-03-25] A Google User: Excellent meditations This app gives great meditations for beginners and the varied guides are such that you won't get bored of listening to the same one over and over. |
|
[2013-02-13] A Google User: What a great way to start your day! I wanted to get started on mediation again and this makes it so very easy. A great app. I just wish there were more meditations to download. |
|
[2013-02-08] A Google User: Great job! Simple. Effective. Calming. |
|
[2013-01-28] A Google User: Childish user experience Very simple interface feels childish and lacks controls over the functions. |
|
[2013-01-10] A Google User: very helpful, enjoyable gaming elements This app introduced me to meditations I wasn't aware of. The walking meditations are particularly enjoyable. It keeps track of your daily meditation continuity and a couple of times I have been compelled to meditate just to keep the continuity going. Just like other users I wished there were sleeping meditations included. I enjoy the "check in" feature but it would be nice if it kept a history of your check ins. |
|
[2012-11-27] A Google User: How can I redownload tracks? There needs to be away to tell buddhify to re-download tracks. I cancelled out of a download, and now it thinks I've fully downloaded it. When I try to play it, it plays for half a second and then ends, and tells me I've finished. My dashboard says I've downloaded it (and that I've played it five times...) and there is no way to fix it. |
|
[2012-10-24] A Google User: Much better than before, but still needs polish This makes meditation easy for the average person on the go. Really helps relax me and help increase my focus wherever I am or on whatever I'm doing. Only thing I would say is that the UI could use a little more polish to be perfect. It really does feel a lot like a copy and paste iOS port. I think more attention should be put into the finer details behind Android's UI to make it look and operate more like a native app. Also, this might differ by phone, but I wish there was a way to choose whether to put the MP3s into the internal storage or SD card. |

[2012-09-07] A Google User: Very lousy programming. Stops when screen off, I could not been more disappointed with its inability to do the simple job. |

[2012-07-24] A Google User: Great app but screen lock issue A really great app that actually helps you meditate. The only problem is that it stops working when you lock the screen - how do you do the walking meditation if you can't put your phone in your pocket? |

[2012-07-17] A Google User: Not bad, but far from great The actual audio clips are great. But it could be much much better if it were a native app rather than a port of the iPhone app. Also the ability to pre-download all the audio data would be great, rather than having to get it every time you want to listen.. |

[2012-07-11] A Google User: Excellent application. The meditation guides are nice. They are easy to use on the run which is a must. The interface is easy to use but it's not Android like: only reason this is not a 5 stars app (check Google GUI recommendations). Only other thing I would ask is a sleep time meditation. Buy it, you will be amazed. |

[2012-06-03] A Google User: Accessing tracks offline needs to be improved I think this is a strong app that allows us to remain anchored in a very busy world. My experience has largely been positive; I downloaded all the tracks while connected to WiFi (as suggested), and can avoid the soundtracks stopping in mid-meditation after reading the notes in the help section that's included. Just push the Home button when the track is playing and the meditation will run its full course. What I didn't anticipate was that not all the flavours of connection are available to use (even after they've been downloaded). The app tends to say certain soundtracks aren't available to use - can't explain why. Some improvements of the UI to make the most of the Android OS features would help, instead of relying on the iOS design format. Look forward to more improvements! |

[2012-04-12] A Google User: Needs Ui fix. Great content, but it is not useful while on the go or anywhere away from power if the audio stops when the screen is off. This should be a priority fix. It isn't worth using if it will kill my battery. It would be nice if meditations could be saved for repeat use without re-downloading. |

[2012-03-21] A Google User: First impressions I like the concept. I have some meditation experience at Buddhist meditation retreats. Following is the list of must have improvements: - the total play time must be displayed on flavour and confirm screen - the timer count down must be displayed on the in progress screen - add simple, light, portrait android UI. Without this, it feels odd, out of place. I need to know upfront how much time I need or remaining before making a decision to stay put or not. |

[2012-02-05] A Google User: Meditation App Great for On the Go I hate taking in the bus and found myself completely stressed when I got to the office. I knew I could do something much more positive with my commute. Enter Buddhify, which has really assisted me in clearing the mental junk which I used to let cloud my days. Good things: The exercises are simple and encouragement to refocus is always there. I particularly enjoy picking a stranger on a bus and sending them positive energy. Crummy things: Download times to get going can be painful, and I've had the app crash on me more then once. Despite, this very young app has lots of potential and I plan to stick with it. I would be happy, in time, to pay for more meditation exercises, online check-ins, and new flavours! |

[2012-02-02] A Google User: Annoying bugs The meditation cuts off when my screen locks. I don't want to waste battery. Is this a feature or a bug? IPhone interface. No way to cancel a download. I like the simplicity and voice quality. I'll email devs and update after more time with app. |

[2012-01-15] A Google User: Terrific app - a future five star winner if slightly improved My heartfelt thanks goes out to the authors of this app. A thoughtful and practical tool for releasing oneself from mental junk. The interface is clean, attractive and very user friendly. I would love to see a future version that tracks check-in metrics over time to monitor progress - ala the many excellent diet and fitness tracking apps. I mainly use it at home, so it would be great to have more than four meditations to choose from. I'd be only too happy to pay for such features. |

[2011-11-09] A Google User: There is depth and quality in this app. If you can get by the somewhat clunky interface, this app is truly fantastic. The reason I did not put 5 stars is because the interface is not the best, but I know they are working on it to make it better. This is app is not about the interface though. The idea and depth of the app, is a 5 star app. Having an app that reminds you being mindful where ever you are, is truly great. It is a great introduction, or compliment to your practice. The gentle voice and awareness practice brings you "home". |
|
[2011-11-09] A Google User: Great tool for meditation I like that the recording leads you through it. UI is nice. I'd like it to be aware of rotation. Also, I'd like to get some info before it plays. Clarity - being aware of sounds - put some text before it plays. I'd like it to be to play the meditation when the screen is off and run in the background. And I want it to be able to resume without going thru the whole procedure of choosing again. |

[2011-11-04] A Google User: Lots of potential! Needs tweaks though. I love the idea, and I think there are a lot of cool things at play here (check ins, the "flavors", etc.). As others have noted, the interface just doesn't "feel" responsive. Ditch the iOS-style graphics and embrace Android UI conventions and you'll be half the way there! The other problem (for me) is that the meditation 'narrations' felt really rushed and were occasionally hard to understand with bad diction (using the female voice). Slow it down and you'll have a sure winner! |

[2011-11-03] A Google User: Lots of potential Nice app, very easy on the eye. Has a few bugs as others have mentioned but dev seems to be on the case so we'll see. One other thing I have noticed is that on my phone (HTC Desire HD) the app does not handle the back button which is quite annoying so a fix for this would be greatly appreciated. |
