I love this app. I am delighted to be taking this journey to deeper meditation, guided by Henry's calm and profound experience. The app works flawlessly on my Pixel 9. There are zero rubbish ads, popups and other distractions; just you and The Way.

Actually a useful meditation app that helps with the practice. I've tried many and this is clearly the best for me with the well thought out way to move forward.

The best of all of the meditation apps imo. Though it took me a while to stick to it. It isn't meditation to 'feel better' which has always been my approach. Henry is really training us to deepen our own paths and understanding. It's really powerful and I didn't realise how much there was so much to experience and ponder in a sit. I wish I had discovered this sooner.

Fantastic app! The only thing missing is the option to have Do not disturb turned on automatically when a session begins.

Highly recommended. Knowledgeable and warm teacher, great quality sound, visuals and overall UX. No noise or vapid content. I've been meditating on and off for a few years but this is a completely different level of experience. If you want to develop a supported, deep practice, The Way is an excellent choice.

Best meditation app out there IMO. I've tried a number of them over the years but I find this super easy to use and follow. I love that it's a single track and you just follow "the way" as each day builds off the last. It's the anchor in my practice and has helped lead me to some lovely experiences and understandings. If you're looking to get into meditation, or have some experience under your belt, I highly recommend. All the best in your journey!

Wonderful made meditation app. Great is that it offers a long term teaching from an very experienced, well known authorised Zen master. Not like most meditation apps which offer just short teaching sequences of about ten sessions for several topics. Great that they just increased the selectable sitting time up to 30 minutes. Sometimes it would be nice if a good high quality bell sound could be added at the beginning and end of the meditation (option?).
