stylerpo's Review of Simply Being
Reviewed on 8/30/19 2:04 PMI was traveling frequently for work and having difficulty winding down at night. Constantly being in new places with new noises, dealing with the stresses of work, and ever present delays/reschedules that came with travel would have my mind racing! Sleep would not come no matter what sleep aids I tried and It affected my performance. I came across this little gem by “chance” in the middle of the night while looking for a white noise app. I cannot believe the difference it has made for me! It is simple to use, helps me settle down, and also brings me back to mindfulness every time I use it. I am ever grateful for this coming into my life at a desperate time and continue to appreciate it even after things have settled down. Thanks!

icelandscg's Review of Simply Being
Reviewed on 8/30/19 2:04 PMWhen my previous favorite meditation app was no longer supported, I began a search for a replacement. I tried several that seemed promising, but required an ongoing auto-paid subscription, or had lots of unnecessary frilly add-ons. Simply Being is exactly what I wanted, at a very affordable price. It’s self-contained (no in-app purchased needed to make it work, and no intrusive ads). The interface is simple and direct. I love that it has two sliders to adjust the volume for the voice and background sounds separately. When I only want sounds, I can slide the voice down to silence— or vice versa. From the same page you can choose the length of your meditation, the type of music or nature sounds, and how long you wish the sounds to continue after the guided meditation is complete. Tapping the info button takes you to a page with tips, support and other information. I recommend this to anyone looking for a meditation timer or guided meditation.

Neil's review's Review of Simply Being
Reviewed on 11/17/18 12:37 PMAs a beginner to meditation, this app is great because it guides you as much or as little as you wish. I use it mostly for quick, 5-10 minute meditations, usually when I’m feeling overwhelmed by work or personal stress. Also, after having used it for a few years, I get benefits from the app even when I’m NOT using it! For example, it’s trained me to understand how not to feel over-stressed by negative thoughts, instead letting them flow through me but not having me absorb the stress. That last sentence will make more sense once you try the app! My favorite use of it: set for 5 minutes, with the voice guidance plus the “stream” sounds. I lie on the floor on my back with my arms and legs stretched out (“dead man’s pose” in yoga). It’s been a real treat to my body and mind!

Rice Mom's Review of Simply Being

Very few people can tolerate a completely silent meditation experience when they are starting out, or if they have ADD -type sy,proms. for example. So a soothing voice guidance that is very SIMPLE, uncluttered with woo-woo New Age stuff, just gently returning the wandering mind, is very useful. Menu options are simple to use and good enhancements.

AnonymousUntilNow's Review of Simply Being
Reviewed on 1/22/18 5:32 AMI was very young when I discovered this app, around 9 or so, and I have been using it every night for the past 4 years to help me sleep. Now an anxious 13 year-old, this app has helped me relax at night and fall into an oasis of relaxation, taking my mind off school and everything that has happened that day. I don't have the voice on, for I usually turn the voice volume all the way down to just listen to the gentle background music. I prefer "light rain" as my sound, because I love rainy days. Sorry this review is so long, but I definitely recommend this app to people who have stress, anxiety, or even insomnia. So worth the payment. Thank you Meditation Oasis.

That music can knock me out in under five minutes in virtually any circumstances! This app is a great value; I highly recommend it.
