Do you want to be treated like a child with unskippable questions about upselling disguised as concerns for your mental health when you open the app? Download this and enjoy the mindless rage that accompanies you as you are forced to do Data Mining chores for this app before you meditate. Shame on...

This app bombards you with popups, recommendations, forces you to grade your session after you’ve finished. It completely goes against everything it claims to promote.
