User Reviews

Take a Break! Meditations is praised for its simple, quick five-minute sessions, calming narration, and adjustable background sounds with independent volume control for both music and voice. It’s effective for reducing stress and aiding sleep, and is beginner-friendly. However, long-time users dislike changes from the original Simply Being, including script and wording, and some feel the voice delivery is less relaxing. The app’s reduced customization (only two duration options) adds to the sentiment that the newer version sacrifices flexibility for simplicity. Overall, it works well for a short, soothing break, but nostalgia and flexibility concerns are common.

Pros

Simple, quick five-minute meditation ideal for a short break
Calming voice and relaxing narration
Background sounds options with separate volume controls for sound and narration
Effective for stress relief and sleep
Beginner-friendly and easy to use

Cons

Original Simply Being content and script replaced; many users want the old version back
Reduced customization: only two duration options remain
Voice/text changes are not as relaxing as before; nostalgia for the former version

Recent reviews

Perfectly simple with just what we need to relax or drown out annoying sounds. Highly recommend for those working in an open office or when you’re on an airplane! Also great for having some soothing sounds when you’re trying to fall asleep

Wow, whatever the developers did to this app is awful. I first downloaded it years ago when it was called “simply being” and it was so nice and simple! You were able to choose how long you wanted the meditations to be, and the “script” was simple and relaxing. There are only two options now and I don’t like the new script. I would have paid for the old version. I wish I could find the old mediations that were here before :/ I can’t even use this version.
