One more review from my client!!
Happy to deliver high quality work!! ๐ง Meditation apps have one of the hardest retention problems in mobile. Most people download one, try it twice, and never open it again.
What Iโd build differently:
โ Make the first session under 3 minutes. A 20-minute guided course on day 1 is where people quit
โ Design the audio experience first. Background playback, offline downloads, and a lock screen player are core features, not extras
โ Use gentle, behavior-based reminders (โyou usually pause at 9pmโ) instead of nagging push notifications
โ Show streaks and progress, but never guilt. A missed day should feel like a fresh start, not a failure
โ Put the paywall after the first calm moment, not before
Iโve shipped wellness apps with 10,000+ users, and the pattern holds: people stay for how the app makes them feel, not for the content library Before you spend a week building, spend an afternoon asking 5 people how they solve this problem today. ๐ If theyโve never tried to fix it, or already use something that works fine, you just saved yourself months. The cheapest MVP test is a conversation โ +1 new review from me Client!
