This app is easy to use, if you’re willing to pay. It’s transportable and can be used as a transitional object for therapy, as well as for everyday life when you’re not carrying a relaxation/meditation CD around with you. The app’s basic functions are free, but for the majority requires a subscription. This is only evident when you search ‘more’ in the Apple store description, which I found misleading. It would be nice if you could pause/speed up the intro so that you can get a taste for it before committing to the purchase.

I liked...

The background scenes. They are very relaxing and work well in keeping me calm. I now plan to have it on during the day so that I can re-focus when I'm a bit stressed!

I didn't like...

Unfortunately there was a bit of lagging with this app, even when I tried out the meditation. She was talking and actually stopped talking which was a bit distracting. A couple of times the app closed randomly. Also in-app purchases are a bit deterring once I have downloaded/bought the app I want to be able to use it freely.

The audio and visual were incredible from the little that was available.

I didn't like...

No material unlocked, have to pay for the majority of items (95%).
