  1. [R1] #Mindful 1/5 · US Constantly changing: I have it set for one affirmation per day. It gives me like ten. It’s annoying. I want to focus on one affirmation per day. Not multiple.
  2. [R3] #Mindful 3/5 · US New Update: I’m not totally crazy about a few things with this update. I loved this app but one change in particular really has me missing it greatly. Why did you remove the word Smile on the daily's! I loved those because even when I’d had a bad day I would read the daily and then it would remind me to SMILE I hope that comes back! It was such an important thing to me! Secondly the icon stinks!
  3. [R4] #Mindful 1/5 · US Hate this app: I hate this app. IMO it’s uninspired, shallow and pointless.
  4. [R5] #Mindful 5/5 · US Helps me ground me: This truly helps me daily. And is usually relatable.
  5. [R13] #Mindful 1/5 · US Used to be a good app: I used to like this app… until it got buggy and crashes all the time.
  6. [R16] #Mindful 5/5 · US Much needed: I’m wanting to get better with seeing and speaking positive affirmations over myself. This is easy to use and it brings me peace.
  7. [R19] #Mindful 5/5 · US N: This daily mindfulness affirmations app is a wonderful tool for anyone who wants to start their day with positivity and peace. The app provides encouraging affirmations that help build confidence, reduce stress, and promote self-love. Each message is simple, powerful, and easy to understand, making it perfect for people of all ages. I especially like how the app sends daily reminders, which hel
  8. [R28] #Mindful 5/5 · US What I Need Daily: I’m a licensed therapist and a manager. I chose noon for my notification time because that’s the craziest time of my day and it is just what I need. I highly recommend this app.
  9. [R6] #Mindful 3/5 · US A few problems: The app is great but u hardly can’t do anything with out being a patron and I really like the app but I can’t become a patron so I wish there was more features overall the app is great and it does help in ways.
  10. [R38] #Mindful 5/5 · US Great app for free positivity: Free legitimately and lovely. This app has no drawbacks. Every day it pops up a positive mindful thought with peaceful music, and you can open the app to read more positive thoughts if you like. I don’t personally resonate with the “readings” that are available, so I generally swipe past those. Overall been a nice app to have and I read the messages often.
  11. [R45] #Mindful 4/5 · US Very good!: (Btw noties means notifications) I love this app! I always write reviews in stories, so....... Me: (looking on my phone) Phone: Download this app! Me: Ok... (downloads) Now...... 4:00 Mindful: Notification So, as you can see, I love and use this app ALL THE TIME!!!! there is one flaw though... Me: (wanting to make more noties) Mindful: PAY FOR IT Me: No! $50 a YEAR?! No way! Yeah, so i
  12. [R48] #Mindful 5/5 · US The right thing.: You haven’t charged me for these simple messages or bombarded me with ads, the messages are clear and simple, and the music is a cherry on top. Thank you.
  13. [R10] #Mindful 5/5 · US Daily Mindset Redirection: Everyday has been a struggle in my head. It’s almost as though, I am trying to survive by pushing my self down and away. I get these daily and most of the time. I get guided back to where I want to be. Thank you.
  14. [R18] #Mindful 5/5 · US Must have app: I literally rely on this app for positive vibes and energy. It is a pleasure to have this available.
  15. [R21] #Mindful 5/5 · US Thank you: I’ve been going through a mental health crisis for a while now. These notes as a widget on my phone always ground me. During a time where I was scared to fall asleep I would keep the app open and drift off to the music- if I woke up scared, the notes would be right there to remind me I’m okay. I am so grateful to the creators of this app.
  16. [R24] #Mindful 5/5 · US The Power of a Mindful Affirmation: I found this app during one of the darkest periods in my life. I remember reading some of the mindful affirmations unsure of how I was going to be able to hold on. Through these past four plus years of using this app, I have been encouraged and uplifted every day. I am also happy to report that I’m such a better place today. My future is bright, and I am gratefu
  17. [R17] #Mindful 2/5 · US Bring the old version back!: I used to love this app, but ever since they changed the app’s mindfulness feature it just isn’t the same. I used to love getting notifications in the morning like for example, “take a deep breath in… think of ways you can love yourself today. Smile”. I think these types of messages promoted mindfulness and served as a reminder to take a break from our stressful lives.
