Omvana: Meditation, Yoga Sleep for Android
Great meditations, great music. I wish there was more free content, but I'm not complaining. This has the highest quality content I've seen. *Update* Unfortunately, it seems like there isn't anyone managing the content anymore. The same tracks, no new focus areas, Editor's List never changes. If you are looking for opportunities to explore new meditations that aren't about money (i.e., sleep, relaxation, chakra balancing, etc.) This might not give you a wide selection. I've been using the app for a year.
I like the layout of the app and was hopeful that I would be able to start the day calmly with a Morning meditation audio that I chose to download from the Omvana Store. It took my money, which was more than £5, but nothing would download.I've contacted them twice today but bikini reply.
Using mostly the free ambient tracks at the moment which are great, love the mix up option where u can customize 2 tracks to play together and my phone allows me to google play my holosync tracks and omvana at the same time. Technically I can get 3 options going at once. Brilliant!! Vishkens 6 phase meditation is a must have in my opinion which is also a free one. Love it!!
I really like having guided meditations available to me without the Internet, but the 6 phase meditation frustrates me. Vishen guides us through the six phases, but he talks for two minutes in each phase suggesting things for us to be grateful for, reminding us to use all five senses, describing possible scenarios... I find it near infuriating. I love being guided, I feel like I need it right now, but his suggestions are nothing close to what I'm trying to meditate on and when he talks it throws me off.
Admittedly I have not lumped into many of the tracks. I only really rely on a couple at the moment though just those have already given me the value that makes it more than worth it.
I was looking for an app with a variety of 5 to 10 minute guided meditations. This app has a bunch to choose from. They can be hard to find because the search feature is awful - the reason for 4 stars instead of 5. Overall I keep coming back.
Meditation and focus is one of the most important ways to start any day so one can get the most out of life. The only thing I would want is if some of the background electric buzz and ambient buzz could be removed from the 6 step meditation recording. No biggy only a small suggestion. A big thank you for this app.
I have installed it few monthscago and used it regularly. Until, Just few days this app keep crashing and played 1 sec and stopped. Couldn't start any program at all.... hope this can be resolve
So far the only negative I can come up with is that you cannot move the application and downloads to the SD card storage. This we will keep me from paying for the upgrade until this SD issue is fixed. I am not willing to pay for content only to have it clog up my phone's memory. So far the free content I have sampled is great.
I love this app and have been using it for years. It won't work correctly on my device though, a Moto X Pure running 6.0. The track mixer can't play both tracks at the same time, it's either one or the other. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The list of things that doesn't work intuitively is just more than I care to write down. Really disappointed on how they chose to implement the app.
Just try it and stick to it for a week and notice how much better you feel. I think A daily 20-minute meditation break should be encouraged in every school and every business setting.
I have really fallen in love with 6 phase meditation, but the mix option for mixing meditation track with background sound track doesn't work in my device. i don't know why, but still... its nice
I always wanted ro meditate but was not able to as i found the idea of siting still impossible. .but omvana has taken away that fear of meditation and has also changed the idea of what meditation is. For the first time i have meditated for 3 days continously even after being very busy. I am practising day 2 meditation and it is excellent.
Disappointed. Haven't been able to download a single track, paid or free. It keeps telling me to try again later. Tried to contact through help, but was told that page wasn't available.
Very good meditation and a good person who gives it. Unfortunately the sound os just too low without extra speakers or headphones, and the background music doesn't seem to work with the narrator
I can't open anything on here I push play and I hear welcome to then stops. I've uninstalled and reinstalled but the same thing happened. This looked like a wonderful app but doesn't work for me.
I hate facebook and cant buy anything without connecting my account to facebook!! Why I just simply buy anything from my visa or my phone credit?
There are others of course that do similar, but this is the one that came to me, and I absolutely cannot complain. There are a ton of tracks that can be customized, and it's easy to use. It has never crashed and I use it almost daily.
Just start last week and haven't had ANY cravings. I listen to it every night and get a great nights sleep. To soon to know if it accelerates weight loss. That why I gave it 4 stars
There is nothing about the preview of the paid tracks that even touches into the meat of the track. It is only an introduction of the segment and it cuts off after 20 seconds. That's not a preview that makes me want to spend $5 and the UX isn't much either. I would love to write a more positive review but there isn't a lot of free content to explore around with either. Fix the previews and maybe people will buy more tracks.
Just started using this app but so far I like it. It's a great "virtual guide" to help keep my mind from wandering too far (or falling asleep) when meditating. I especially like that you can mix the voice with whatever music track you've downloaded. Looking forward to using this on a daily basis.
I just downloaded the app, and it doesn't seem to be working properly. I go to try to find more free meditations or even to purchase, and it says unavailable. I have been trying for the past couple days.
I'm absolutely addicted to the hypnosis sessions-- they've helped with my insomnia immensely! Definitely worth it to buy the tracks- one time buy & you have them forever, no matter what! Mixing the binaural to fit the track is GENIUS. Thank you, Mindvalley!!!
This app is OK, but missing some key features that would make it amazing. My biggest complaint is that the background music options are short and when they end it is jarring because there is sudden silence and then it starts again. This is not conducive to meditating at all! My other main complaint is that there is no way to choose multiple voice tracks to play back to back. Some of these are too short to listen to only one. Not quite ready to uninstall, but I am definitely searching for a better option.
This is very new to me I thought I would give it a shot...to see how I would feel...life has been really hard for this guy...but I can't lye, I listened to the six step with the deep energy 4...I felt like I was floating off my chair..this is probably what I been missing in my life...and the app is really easy to use...thanks for the help!
Not bad at all, and the ones you have to lay for aren't super expensive. I can usually get away without spending anything and I enjoy it just fine. I would like a few more options though
I loved it until I wanted to buy something. Then I realized I had to log into Facebook. I don't use Facebook, & I shouldn't have to to use a meditation app. Dislike the connection between the two. Other apps allow me in-app purchases through my email. What's with Facebook? Will uninstall if it remains this way. Bummer....
Omvana works well. The ability to mix two tracks is really good. The are some limitations, preventing an excellent rating. 1. You need to be able to use your Mindvalley account in addition to Facebook. 2. Connection /sharing between the Smartphone app and Web App is needed.. 3. The ability to mix local tracks with the Omvana tracks would be awesome. This would allow a limitless variation of meditation background audio. 4. The synchronisation /restore tracks between devices needs improvement. 5. The ability to save mixes for use across multiple non contiguous sessions.
I was suffering from deep frustration and my mind was filled with anger and hatred. It started killing me inside.. but omvana taught me how to be happy.. love it
With health problems, stress/anxiety and hypertension stage 2 this is the best app I could have found! Easy to use for all levels of meditation!
Pretty good. I was disappointed at the number of meditations you have to purchase, but several meditation apps are that way, it seems. The quality of the meditations are good. I was so excited for the 6-phase meditation, but I think Vishen talks too much, with spaces in between sentences that make it hard to really focus on your visioning because you start to vision, then he jumps in with more explanation.. Then when he finally quits talking about the exercise, he doesn't give you the time to do a really good visualization. This is disappointing and frustrating, but I think I can do the meditation with him a couple more times, then by myself.
This app is wonderful...loving it one thing is for 3 questions imaginary part he doesn't give you enough time to envision he speaks too rapidly
Great variety of meditations with different lengths. Really useful sleep and varied guided meditations by well suited voices :)
I love this app, but don't understand why it's so big (file size) chewing up the storage on my phone. Additional meditations you download all get stored on your phones internal memory (not the SD card.) Why can't I move it to SD card? Why is it such bloatware? I really love the app and love the 6 phase meditation. I haven't purchased any yet (no room on my phone!) but would prefer to log in with my Google account rather than Facebook. 3 stars because it uses my 16 Gb internal memory and not 64 Gb SD card.
I have to say I am very dissapointed. I love Omvana and Mind Valley but this app is clearly beneath them. You can't login with your monthly omvana account, I can't download any paid tracks because it logs in with Facebook only, no Google account even. And I asked I think more that 6 months and they dais they will fix them... yet nothing. Should things change I would be more than glad and happy to change my reviews, but as of now this is not a Mind Valley product for me. Best of luck to get it there,
That's about all it is with options to buy exclusive exercises in app. As other users have said lots of good stuff that's free, and lots more you have to pay for. Never payed for anything in app so can't vouch for their quality, but the free stuff is pretty good. Really just here for Vishen as he's an amazing meditation coach.
it was an awesome app. Suddenly it won't work and says it cannot connect an do cannot access anything. I have emailed support twice and not received and answer
I wish I had learned about this app sooner! What an incredible, readily available and beneficial idea. I particularly enjoy the mix-and-match method of ambient sound and voice, being able to tailor the meditation to whatever your day or circumstances may bring. Great to use at work to reduce any stress!

I used to really enjoy this app and buy a lot of stuff from Omvana Store. I had logged into my account via Facebook previously with no issues (you have to log into Facebook as it stores your purchases on it). Then all of a sudden, it didn't log in anymore. It would continually ask me to log into it but it wouldn't work. I've also tried contacting Omvana's support team, and got no response from them. As a result, I've lost all of my tracks.
