Simply Being for iPad app review

Simply Being

Price: $0.99

Simply Being by Meditation Oasis is an assisted meditation app.

Meditating can be a great way to relax your body and let stressful thoughts leave your mind. Meditation is practiced around the world by thousands of cultures and this app brings the joyous experience of guided meditation to you.

Get yourself comfortable and start the app. You can then close your eyes and follow along with the voice as it guides you into deep states of relaxation. There are four times that you can select for the duration of your meditation allowing you to choose how long you would like to meditate. If you are short on time you can do a quick session or choose a long period of time if you have a whole night to yourself.

You can also use the nature sounds that play in the background when you are not following the guided portion of the app. There is also a comforting set of music tracks that can be played with the guide or on their own. This helps to provide you with a relaxing ambiance without the voice of the guide should want to meditate on your own.

Simply Being was last updated to Version 5.5 on January 7, 2013 and included some minor bug fixes. There have been 252 ratings for this app with an average score of five out of five stars.

This app is a very good guided meditation app. The voice of the guide is comforting and the background sounds are very soothing. I have been using this app quite a bit since installing it and can say it does reduce your stress levels significantly.

For: iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad with iOS 4.3 or later
