Homescreen Heroes: The one wellness app worth paying for
The app itself has all the trappings of any other streaming service app like Netflix: it uses the same algorithmic tricks to keep you coming back, rewarding you for streaks and “Like this? Try this” recommendations. It allows you to download content to your phone for offline listening, just like Netflix, and it does provide push notifications to remind you to check in and meditate today.
I approached Calm with a healthy degree of skepticism. Like lots of people who hear about the benefits of mindfulness and try to create a habit, I was an infrequent, frustrated practitioner who couldn’t make time for it every day. However, tying meditation to these app-based gamification strategies kind of seemed wrong to me. But hey - why not? I downloaded the free version and gave its 10-minute “Daily Calm” meditation a shot.
It does sound a little bit woo-woo, and it can at times feel that way if you’re not bought in, but thankfully there’s not a mention of a crystal, chakras, or whiff of incense in sight. I’m not interested in spirituality practice, and neither is Calm – it’s all about staying relaxed, focused, or feeling peaceful.
