Wonderful App
I have mediated every day since I downloaded this app. Gelong Thubten is inspirational. Everything is straightforward and explained in a way that takes stress out of meditation. I’ve tried many apps before but ended up feeling irritated for many reasons, which is not conducive to meditation.
I actually look forward to my sessions and have felt considerable benefits, generally calmer, and less reactive to stressful situations.
Thank you so much for this.

Poor customer service
The app stopped connecting after two months. No way to speak to their tech support and after deleting and reinstalling the app, checking my home Wi-Fi, the app is dead.
Avoid.

Won’t let me cancel
I have been trying to cancel my subscription for over a month. The cancel my subscription button just takes me to the Samten app in the App Store and all I can click is open and I just go around in circles. I send a enquiry in October requesting to cancel and heard nothing back and now a payment has been taken from my account. I am not happy at all and will be pursuing this to get a refund and my subscription cancelled!

Brilliant
After recently discovering meditation and being new to the space I didn’t know where to start until I started using Samten. Samten’s different categories has made it so easy for me to get started and understand what mediation can really do. I am now a month into my journey and I can highly vouch for what the app offers as well as the difference meditation has made for me.

Excellent app
My first introduction to a meditation app so wasn’t sure what to expect. Very impressed with how well it is put together and how it flows and builds into the next session.
It’s 5 stars from me and I highly recommend.

Great meditation app
Samten is a great meditation and mindfulness app and I would highly recommend it.
It is easy to use, provides a journey to build mindfulness into our daily activities and is guided by the soothing voice of Gelong Thubten.
I love starting my day with one of these sessions and incorporating some of the practices into my daily activities.
This app is non-religious and is for anyone who wants to improve their well-being and happiness.
It includes mindfulness topics such as gratitude, compassion , forgiveness, anger and irritation and many more.
Recently I had a problem with the app but Sarah was very helpful and solved the problem.
It’s great to start the day with Gelong Thubten!!

Excellent
This is the best meditation/mindfulness that I’ve listen to in ages, and I’ve listened to a lot. I read Gelong’s book which inspired me to download this app, been listening to this for a while now (first 7 days are free) I struggled with finding the time and motivation to meditate but with this app it’s a joy and I look forward to spending the 5 minutes or so each day. Well worth downloading the free app to try it out - read his book, it’s brilliant

Great App
I have been practicing with this app for a while now , and I really think it’s very well made, the content and how you can step by step get better at it. Recently I had a problem with my app but the team were really helpful and solved my problem. I recommend it more than other apps that do meditation. it’s more accessible for ordinary people who aren’t sitting in a monastery😉.
Since I started this app I’m getting less ill , I think my mental energy has changed a lot, although I have been using it everyday for few times.

Authentic
This app is so real and authentic, it allows you the freedom to immerse yourself into a deep moment of meditation and mindfulness whilst being captivated by Gelong Thubten. A real game changer.

Fantastic App. It’s great to have video commentary to guide you especially Gelong Thubten. His voice is so captivating, his explanation and analogies about mindfulness make so much sense. Keep up the good wool Samten

Malfunction
I loved the 7 day trial but once I signed up for the annual subscription, it stopped working and closed itself every time I tried to use it. There is also no way of contacting the app provider as the only link is to the website which is just a series of nice photos and a link to download the app!

Not working
It would be great if the app actually worked!

Why do I need to log in mid meditation?
Several times now I’ve been asked to log in to the app mid meditation which is not helpful. I love the Samten approach - but I’m getting frustrated by this.

Great meditation app!!
Love this app!
Being able to see and hear from a world renown monk (I googled him and he seems to be the real deal) makes me feel like I’m learning to meditate properly.

Game changer
What a great app. Alot of thought and hard work has gone in to this and it shows. Ive been using this for a week and its starting to make a difference already. as someone who found it difficult meditating. This is beginning to make it a lot clearer.
Samten junior seems promising too. Will test this on my looney nephews 🙏🏽 🧘🏽♂️

Perfect escape for a teacher
As a teacher my life is full of stress with very little time to look after myself. This app is everything I’ve been waiting for!!

❤️
Having practised Mindfulness for some time now, I love how Samten gives me a deeper understanding of what it’s all about. The Samten Junior feature is brilliant and both my kids love doing it. SOS is also a fantastic feature. The app itself is really easy to navigate. Thank you Samten.

Opening a new process to my busy day and life. A Director of a fast moving company, family man and Ironman Triathlete, this great platform to train and develop the mind to function in a structured manner enabling clarity to your every day tasks.
The APP is well thought out with intuitive guidance through the stages with the Master of the mind Gelong Thubten the Tibetan Buddhist Monk.
