HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (6.6 new ratings a month on average since launch). Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.6 times, so the range is wide. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

★★★★★Oct 20, 2026
Love their program, BUT…

for spending $600 I’m shock at how at so many technical problems that they have.. I’m disappointed at how many times that their app won’t even load or run. And, they don’t respond when contacted. Monroe Institute, you really need to invest in your technical department. Putting your cart before your horse is a bad, bad business idea…

★★★★★Oct 14, 2026
The vibration stage

When I first downloaded this app I thought it wouldn’t work but a couple hours after I turned it on with headphones I got into the vibration stage of lucid dreaming, unfortunately it scared me and woke me up but I can’t wait to use it again tonight!

★★★★★Sep 19, 2026
Fantastic for Meditation

Great tool to have!

★★★★★Sep 14, 2026
Great App, but Frequent Timer Glitch

I really enjoy this app and find it a highly effective aid in meditation—when it works. However, my biggest critique is that the timer function frequently begins counting down without actually playing the sounds (neither the signal nor the background music). I often cannot get it to work at all, leading me to just give up in frustration after 10 minutes trying to troubleshoot. I think it is a glitch, and it really does need to get fixed.

★★★★★Sep 10, 2026
Takes meditation to another level!

If you want to meditate and then go beyond, this app is for you. Guided meditations are amazing! Helps you with the practical issues and beyond…The sound science supports you on your journey.

★★★★★Sep 6, 2026
Feature rich, worth the price

I have been using this app since it was first released and it is an important part of my day. I absolutely love the ability to choose guided meditations or just do a timed meditation with signals of my choosing. There is no other app like it.

What's new in 2.3.0

What's new in Expand 2.3 Never lose track of your account. The sign-in screen now reminds you how you signed in last time, whether with Google, Apple, or email, so it's easier to get back into the right account. Tick "Remember me" to have your email filled in for you. Get ready before your retreat. Before a virtual retreat begins, you'll find a Pre-Course Exercise on the course page. It's the Day Zero "Relax and Expand" meditation, a chance to check your headphones and sound before your program starts. Discussions that follow your progress. Each module's discussion now opens once you've completed that module, just like on the website. For trainers. If you're a trainer on a program, a new trainer view lets you unlock every session or preview the program as participants will see it on any date. Improvements and fixes • Subscribing is easier on smaller screens and with larger text sizes • Courses that showed as available but wouldn't play now open correctly • Your course media and photos now load through secure links • Journal summaries refresh when you change your answers, and the button at the end of a finished course no longer gets stuck

Released Jul 19, 2021. Current version shipped Oct 3, 2026.
