Life enhancing

I came across this app when I was checking out meditation apps. I was newish to meditation using it as a therapy to overcome PTSD. Meditation was proving the best tool to help me come to terms with the trauma. Eventually I discovered IT 20 months ago. 17 months ago I joined the 365 challenge which led to a daily practice. Meditation has led to and changed all sorts of things in my life. Taught me how to accept and move on. Taught me how to deal with emotions that were really difficult. Also taught me how to live my life enjoying the things I have and making things lovely around me, and how to live in the present and make the most of what I have, and I really do have a lot to be grateful for. It taught me how to make some wise choices and enhance my home. It also saw me through a lot of pain when I snapped my ankle in January which is still mending. 10 weeks on my back. Difficult depressing time but I survived without too much anger surfacing. Be nice to people who can’t walk. They need you. So I’d recommend meditation to everyone and using this app is a gift. Thank you. 🙏 and thank you all of those teachers who have changed my way of life and my thinking and moved me on. Michelle Zarrin’s 20 day peace meditation was the start of my journey of discovery. Followed by endless amazing other teachers in Buddhism, neuroscience, and all the rest. So much out there... 🙏🙏I wrot the above some time ago. I still keep up a daily practice and plan to continue. Besthing iever did for myself. Such wisdom to be learned from Hugh Byrne and many moe. Brilliant.However recently I think the app has become overwhelming I’m sorry to say, less navigational with a slight corporate feel.
I almost never write app reviews. But now I absolutely have to.

This is hands down the best meditation app I have ever used. And I have tried many, always inevitably hitting the paywall before I could truly appreciate the content. I have been battling mood swings and depression for most of my life now. Most times when I tried to meditate, I simply failed, unable to stay still, focus on my breath and maintain control of my constantly buzzing mind. I thought, maybe this just isn’t for me. But I could not give up. My desperate need for inner peace kept me trying. And then I came across the Insight Timer and listened to a meditation session by the lovely Sarah Blondin and I was so impressed. It did actually work! Now I am hooked and I meditate every single day and this time around it’s not a chore, it is a treat! If you give this one a go, you are likely to end up subscribing not as much because you need to access the premium features, but because you genuinely want to say your thanks to the teachers by supporting them! I could not be more grateful. ❤️
iPhone 6 users cannot use older version effectively!

Please developers can you sort this out? I have a dear friend on Insight Timer that I cannot reply to their messages since the app was updated - see my review below. They are really concerned thatthey haven’t had a response to their messages from me since the update as the app no longer gives me an option to reply. We have no alternative contact details apart from Insight Timer. They are very concerned that they have not had a reply to their messages from me. This causing a great deal of angst. Surely you can restore the older iPhone 6 version before it was updated. The new update cannot be installed on my phone. I am at a loss as to how to resolve this and despite communication with you the issue has not been resolved and you have said it cannot be - I don’t understand how you can leave iPhone 6 users without an option except to buy a new phone. Other apps update without any problem. See review below.I have been using the older version of this app on my iPhone6 successfully until 2 weeks ago (May 2021)when an adjustment was made by the developers which makes it now impossible to send messages or reply to messages from my fellow meditators! So unless I purchase a new phone this updated version is incompatible with my iPhone6 and the older version of the app that I was using without any problems until this change, is now disappointingly inadequate. I am not in a position to buy a new phone and neither do I feel that it is ethical to do so because of this situation.
Developer Response
Hello Louise, I hope you have been well. I am really sorry that the app has stopped working properly on your iPhone 6 after an update. Unfortunately, the current requirement for iOS devices is for them to run on iOS 13 or newer. Our developers have already been made aware that some users with older devices are no longer able to use the app properly. Hopefully, future releases of the app will become accessible to users with older devices.
The world's largest free mental health app just got even bigger! In the last week we've added 974 new free meditations for you to enjoy, plus 486 new free sleep tracks, music files, talks and podcasts.
This version also includes a number of UI improvements requested by our growing community of 3 million monthly active members.
