  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. [R4] #Mindful 1/5 · US Hate this app: I hate this app. IMO it’s uninspired, shallow and pointless.
  3. [R5] #Mindful 5/5 · US Helps me ground me: This truly helps me daily. And is usually relatable.
  4. [R10] #Mindful 2/5 · US i’m not sure how to feel: At first i really liked this app, but then I started to get really weird messages on my home screen. It just creeped me out.
  5. [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!
  6. [R13] #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. [R16] #Mindful 5/5 · US Beautiful: This is such a beautiful, wise and gentle app. Somehow it manages to pop up with messages absolutely appropriate to the moment and remind me to breathe as I listen to calming music. Just wonderful. It also has quotes to read from Seneca and Gibran and others. Really very excellent wisdom. I love this app.
  8. [R25] #Mindful 5/5 · US Today: I love this app it is so peaceful when I am rushing around crazy. I really need this to try and calm my body down.
  9. [R9] #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.
  10. [R14] #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.
  11. [R34] #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.
  12. [R41] #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
  13. [R44] #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.
  14. [R17] #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.
  15. [R19] #Mindful 5/5 · US Peaceful: I struggle with a lot of things including vices. This app helps me to retain focus on good habits and has been there even when I’m feeling low. Love the design as well
  16. [R20] #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
