What I did today was to try the Calm app, which is reputed for its resources like meditation, sleep, and relaxation. Breathing regularly while very frequently struggling to find ways to eliminate daily pressure and sleeping disorders, I was looking forward to seeing whether this app was able to contribute to a significant improvement in my daily routine.
A soft voice, counting “take a deep breath” when the app lunched so one can get a peaceful mood. Whether it’s guided meditation or Sleep Stories, breathing exercises or music for reflection, the app empowers its users with diverse techniques aimed at releasing tension and improving sleep. Although the UI had a little messy a feeling about it and hence was not as clear and simple to operate as I had hoped. In the search of certain highlights and sessions, I faced problems of finding where do they actually stand since there are some parts which is badly organized.
FEATURES AND CONTENT
Calm’s content variety is impres sively wide. In these assisted meditations they cover wide range of subjects from stress management, concentration improving and even to the self-esteem enhancement. My favorite feature is definitely the subsection known as Sleep Stories– these stories are narrated by remarkable voices such as Matthew McConaughey and help people sleep better through story time. Additionally, the app includes soundscapes as well as music tracks that will also make your mind and body to be much calmer and relaxed and hence lead to good sleep.
User Experience
The app proved to offer the kind of meditation sessions where the experts have provided guidance that was very straightforward even for newbies while at the same time quite impressive for the experienced users. Breathing Bubble Lesson helped me a lot in this area for the moment of instant stress relief. Although the design needs to be touched up, it remains the best of the categories. Scattered icons and some irritating overall layout might discourage people who want the UI process to be simple and smooth.
Personal Impact
I, personally, cannot make up my mind over the Calm app because sometimes, I did find it useful while the other times, I pondered over it. In the first place, using sleep and meditations content has values especially to me that giving me space to chill and sleep better. Moreover, the problems with the app such as the menu and wanting to press the icons quickly sometimes added the frustration to me rather than decreasing it.
Conclusion:
In short, Calm has outdone the features of other applications due to its detailed tools that can be used for both meditation and improvement of sleep quality. Though it furnishes plethora of facilities such as clearing the mind-set, maintaining emotions etc. the user interface could use some re-organization. The app provides several resources, inclusive of people looking for ways of being mindful or struggling with sleep. They include meditations that calm your mind and even the feature that helps you in attaining a better sleep. Despite the drawbacks of using the navigational feature, these benefits can be significant.
