## Description

Meditation Oasis: Simply Being brings together Mary Maddux's guided meditations with over 80 sessions and three programs, set to Richard Maddux's calming original music or nature sounds. This all-in-one meditation app blends Mary's widely used teachings—from clinics to schools—with flexible listening options: voice-only, music-backed, or nature-backed, and offline availability for on-the-go practice.

You can explore Sleep, Relaxation, Emotional Healing, Pain Relief, and more, plus programs like 4 Days: Meditation for Beginners, 7 Days: Advanced Meditations, and 4 Days: Anxiety & Worry Relief. The app supports daily reminders, favorites, and category-based search, and offers original meditation music across 30+ tracks. An auto-renewing subscription provides full access with monthly or yearly plans.

## Review summary

Users praise the app’s simplicity, calming voice, and years of reliable use for anxiety and sleep. However, many reviewers condemn the update for shifting to a costly subscription model, paywalls, branding changes, and reduced free content, labeling it a money grab. Additional frustration comes from perceived poor support and ads reappearing. The core appeal—simple, soothing meditation—remains, but the latest direction risks losing longtime users.

### Pros

- Simple, easy-to-use, clutter-free interface that many users appreciate.
- Calming voice and soothing background sounds (e.g., rain) that help with anxiety, sleep, and relaxation.
- Longstanding, trusted meditation resource used by users for years, valued for its consistency and minimalism.

### Cons

- Shift to a paid subscription model with a high annual price and paywalls, perceived as a money grab.
- Major changes to branding and design (new name/icon) that many feel destroyed the familiar Simply Being experience.
- Limited free content after the update; non-subscribers get only a few meditations, with some complaints about short sleep meditations.
- Perceived poor customer support and dismissive responses to feedback, including dead contact or broken support channels.
- Ads reintroduced after users had paid to remove them, and renewed push to buy more.
