Waking Up: Meditation & Wisdom - Latest Quality Issues
iOS
Feb 22, 2025
Way too expensive
Not worth the money
Android
Feb 24, 2025
Backend has issues. "Delete My Account" button doesn't work. "Renew Subscription"/"Manage my Subscription" button doesn't work. The app sends a link through mail to do the job.. But the link redirects me to your app again instead of the necessary Play Store page to manage my subscriptions. Only after the user resubscribes your app on Play Store after previously cancelling.. your subscription management buttons become functional again. Fix such issues for a premium high quality app like yours.

There is undoutably some really good content here as both guided meditation and theory. However, I find the angularity and dogmatism in Sam's outspoken atheistic philosophy offputting. Whilst clearly intelligent and articulate, I am not looking for using this app to understand or follow his idiosyncratic perspective and if I were I like it properly tested by an intelligent theist. I find the attempt to completely sterilise meditation from all metaphysical claims or even possibilities too clincal

Another app you have to pay for just to try or use some free trial when you could get this information for free :) can't say anything else, because it's locked. but I know there is just too much information out there for free **cough** YouTube and a notepad :)

Would not recommend
So sad to learn sam harris' horrifying and harmful views on the people of Palestine and the religion of Islam. I am not religious but I do not judge a people based on religion. Really affected my interaction with this app, ethically.

Prosody poor
Sorry but started with first one- hard to listen to as rate of speech and prosody was poor - could have been in lecture hall. Still in free trial phase I'll persevere - slow down dude!

Overpriced for Repeat Content
Great introductory course, amazing meditations. I've been using this app for a few years, back when it cost $89 per year. The price for me now is $199 and the content is the same. If this app was $40 I would wholeheartedly recommend it and purchase it. I'm really disappointed at how much the price has increased to the point I can't get it or in good conscience recommended it.
Waking Up: Meditation & Wisdom - Product Description
NOT JUST ANOTHER MEDITATION APP Don’t think of Waking Up as a conventional meditation app—think of it as a new operating system for your mind, and a guide to living a better life. We aim to offer a far deeper approach to mindfulness than you’ll find elsewhere—one that fundamentally transforms how you see yourself, and the world around you. But you’ll also discover life-changing, secular wisdom from top scholars and experts, on everything from sleep and doing good in the world to time management and happiness. Waking Up is free for anyone who can’t afford it. We never want money to be the reason why someone can’t benefit from what we’ve built. ***Created by Sam Harris Sam Harris, neuroscientist and best-selling author, built Waking Up to be the resource he wished he’d had when he began exploring meditation over 30 years ago. Sam only includes those practices and insights he’s found to be utterly life-changing. The same is true for the many teachers, scholars, and experts you’ll meet throughout the app. ***A step-by-step approach to mindfulness We’ve heard from thousands of members who say they never really understood meditation until they took our 28-part Introductory Course. Whether you’re a beginner or advanced practitioner, you’ll dive straight into the deep end of real mindfulness, so you don’t waste any time on the surface. ***Learn the true purpose of meditation Meditation is about more than just relieving stress, sleeping better, or improving your focus. While it can help you do all of that, our goal is ultimately to help you open the door to a deeper understanding of yourself. ***A place for serious seekers Explore some of life’s most important questions, on topics like neuroscience, psychedelics, enlightenment, ethics, and Stoicism—from renowned authors and professors like Oliver Burkeman, Michael Pollan, Laurie Santos, Arthur C. Brooks, James Clear, and others. ***In-depth theory and practice Waking Up explains both the theory and the practice of meditation —so you don’t just learn the “how” of mindfulness, but also the “why.” You’ll be guided by prominent figures like Joseph Goldstein, Diana Winston, Adyashanti, Jayasāra, and Henry Shukman, who teach a wide range of contemplative practices, including Vipassana, Zen, Dzogchen, Advaita Vedanta, and more. ***Timeless insights, modern lens Within Waking Up, you’ll find some of the most profound spiritual teachings from throughout history—those that have stood the test of time. And you’ll hear from historic voices like Alan Watts. But we also pressure-test ancient wisdom against modern science, so you won’t find outlandish claims or anything we haven’t found to be empirically true. ***A comprehensive guide Waking Up supports your growth and development in a number of different ways. You’ll find an abundance of useful features, like meditation timers, in-app support messages, an ever-growing audio library, and daily reminders to help bring your mindfulness practice into your life—plus, Waking Up allows you to save all of your meditation sessions to your Apple Health app. “Waking Up is, hands down, the most important meditation guide I’ve ever used.” Physician Peter Attia “If you’ve had trouble getting into meditation, this app is your answer!” -Susan Cain, best-selling author “Waking Up is not an app, it’s a path. It is equal parts a meditation guide, a philosophy master-class and a highly-focused TED Conference.” -Eric Hirschberg, former CEO of ACTIVISION SUBSCRIPTION Subscriptions automatically renew, unless auto-renew is disabled at least 24 hours before the current period ends.
