Re: 10% Happier meditation app much more accessible than before

[Kimber Gardner]

Bard has the Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics book. It's the commercial
version and is read by Dan Harris. He gives the url for accessing the
meditations pretty close to the start of the book. Here is a link,

 Anna,

 Thank you for this. I have yet another beginners question about the
 10% Happier app.

 I mistakenly subscribed to their additional content and then
 rescinded that subscription through iTunes. It's a single annual
 purchase fee, not weekly or monthly. I was just unwilling to commit
 to the roughly $100 purchase before using the app for quite some
 time.

 Is there enough standard content available without additional
 content purchase that's useful enough that I should continue using
 the app? If later on I do purchase the additional content
 subscription, is that  content VoiceOver accessible? (I found that
 for HeadSpace, subscription content is not accessible.)

 My exploration of the app still hasn't shown me there's much
 standard content available. But, it's early in my exploration.

 Thanks so much.

 Richard Petty

 Subject: 10% Happier meditation app much more accessible than
 before

 Hello,

 A few days ago, we were talking about meditation apps, and I
 mentioned 10% Happier. They released an update today that fixes a
 lot of accessibility issues. I haven't played with it long enough to
 know whether everything is accessible, but it's definitely much
 easier to see what courses are available, choose one, and choose a
 particular meditation. I'm thrilled that the developers are taking
 accessibility seriously.

 Best,
 Anna

OK. I definitely have that book. So I guess I will have to go back and read it 
again and pay particular attention for link. I’m not always near my computer 
when I read books. Smile.

Hi Mary,

Yes, the book is from Audible, and Dan Harris, the narrator, reads the link. 
You type what he says into your computer.

Hi Anna,
OK, I’m really confused now. We’re talking about an audible book, right? So 
somebody is reading this book say on your phone. I just don’t know how to 
translate a phone audio only thing into links. Maybe there’s a PDF thing in my 
audible library.

Re: 10% Happier meditation app much more accessible than before

Hi Mary,

There is a link early in the book. it tells you that all the meditations are in 
the appendix and gives you a link to unlock the content in the app. Again, this 
is the book Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics.

Best,
Anna

 Anna,
 
 Thank you for this. I have yet another beginners question about the 10% 
 Happier app.
 
 I mistakenly subscribed to their additional content and then rescinded 
 that subscription through iTunes. It's a single annual purchase fee, not 
 weekly or monthly. I was just unwilling to commit to the roughly $100 
 purchase before using the app for quite some time.
 
 Is there enough standard content available without additional content 
 purchase that's useful enough that I should continue using the app? If 
 later on I do purchase the additional content subscription, is that  
 content VoiceOver accessible? (I found that for HeadSpace, subscription 
 content is not accessible.)
 
 My exploration of the app still hasn't shown me there's much standard 
 content available. But, it's early in my exploration.
 
 Thanks so much.

 Subject: 10% Happier meditation app much more accessible than before
 
 Hello,
 
 A few days ago, we were talking about meditation apps, and I mentioned 10% 
 Happier. They released an update today that fixes a lot of accessibility 
 issues. I haven't played with it long enough to know whether everything is 
 accessible, but it's definitely much easier to see what courses are 
 available, choose one, and choose a particular meditation. I'm thrilled 
 that the developers are taking accessibility seriously.
 
 Best,
 Anna

Hi Anna,
I did read that book on audible. I suppose the book came out before the app. 
Where did you go to find a code?

Re: 10% Happier meditation app much more accessible than before

[Anna Dresner]

Hi,

The Meditation Basics course is free, and if you get the book Meditation for 
fidgety Skeptics from Audible, you get a code which makes its content free. 
There are also free samples from a lot of the meditation courses. There may be 
more, but that's what I know about.

Best,
Anna

Re: 10% Happier meditation app much more accessible than before

[Kimberly]

The subscription content is quite accessible. I subscribe not long after the 
app was discussed here on this list and have been working my way through the 
meditation basics ever since.

One thing I can tell you is that several of the meditations available in the 
app are also available on YouTube.

RE: 10% Happier meditation app much more accessible than before

[Richard Petty]

Anna,

Thank you for this. I have yet another beginners question about the 10% Happier 
app.

I mistakenly subscribed to their additional content and then rescinded that 
subscription through iTunes. It's a single annual purchase fee, not weekly or 
monthly. I was just unwilling to commit to the roughly $100 purchase before 
using the app for quite some time.

Is there enough standard content available without additional content purchase 
that's useful enough that I should continue using the app? If later on I do 
purchase the additional content subscription, is that  content VoiceOver 
accessible? (I found that for HeadSpace, subscription content is not 
accessible.)

My exploration of the app still hasn't shown me there's much standard content 
available. But, it's early in my exploration.

Thanks so much.

Richard Petty
