A sighted neighbor of mine actually has this app for his iPad and likes it. I briefly checked out their website and it seems to read well with VoiceOver. Perhaps I'll get this app when I get my iPhone and am good enough on it, but I think I'll just stick with the free stuff. It's too bad that the Mac app called Relax isn't available in the US app store. I don't have an anxiety issue or anything like that, but relaxation is always good.

hi all is there a podcast on this app? i don't quite understand how the app works. the meditations just seems to be sounds, not guided, or they paid features? the "possible text" in ios 11 reads some, but not all of the buttons. also, when i select the "daily calm" again, is that in the free version? what is included if one subscribed?
