Thanks. I’ll watch for a coupon and follow their “how to.” I appreciate the 
tips.

Hi Richard,

 

If you're talking about 10% Happier, the book has a link near the beginning. If 
you follow that link, all the Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics material will be 
free to you, regardless of whether you get a subscription. I believe the app 
also has a Meditation Basics course that is always free, and when they 
introduce new courses, some material is free. So even if you don't subscribe, 
there will be quite a bit of material available, especially if you follow the 
link in the book.

 

Also, while subscribing usually costs $100 for a year, they send out sale 
coupons sometimes. Over Labor Day weekend, for example, it was 50% off,.

 

Best,

Anna

I did just download it and tried  one of the brief meditations. It was quite 
nice. I arranged the 7-day trial. Apparently at the end of 7 days, I will need 
to subscribe. That seems different from your description. Is there something 
I’m misunderstanding?

 

By the way, I read the book and found the appendix to be one of the best “how 
to” descriptions on meditation that I’ve read.

 

Thanks so much.

Hello Richard,

 

Since you are looking for an accessible meditation app, you might want to 
consider 10% Happier. It isn't fully accessible, but thanks to VoiceOver's 
ability to figure out which text goes with controls, it's usable. There are a 
couple of things to keep in mind:

 

If a new meditation has been added, it's easy to double-tap and give it a try. 
If you're not interested in trying it, I've had best results removing the app 
from the app switcher and restarting it.

 

Some meditations have different options for length. Unfortunately, these don't 
currently work with VoiceOver.

 

I subscribed anyway because there are good meditations in the app. You get some 
for free, so you can try it out. Also, if you buy the book Meditation for 
Fidgety Skeptics by Dan Harris from Audible, you get a code that gives you all 
the meditations from the book in the app for free. It's on BARD as well, but I 
don't know if you get the coupon for the app. At any rate, you can really try 
the app before spending any money.

 

I hope that helps.

 

Best,

Anna

Chris and all,

 

How is current accessibility of the Muse hardware and app? Chris, you had 
included useful information in your 2015 posts. Knowing access can sometimes 
change and before making the significant investment, I wanted to know if Muse 
is still accessible.

 

Also, is the battery charge level shown on the app? Some reviews show the app 
becomes less accurate as the headband battery discharges.

 

One other curiosity: Another reviewer wrote the app could not distinguish 
between meditation, working puzzles or sleep. Have any had any experience with 
this?

 

Thanks so much.

 

Richard Petty

Really? What did you have trouble with?

I had no trouble seeing where I was in the timeline for the first 20 sessions 
or so. My only reason for ditching the app was acquiring actual biofeedback 
hardware and an app that tells me how calm, neutral or active my brain is in 
real time, as i try to meditate.

Hi Everyone,

Have any of you tried any of the Apps out there for guided meditation?  I have 
heard of two, but don't know if either of them are accessible.  One is called 
Head Space, and the other is called Calm.  What have you found that works?  
Thanks very much in advance!

Desi
