I've worked with Calm for 5 years. They even tried to use me as an ambassador when I was running an office of 60 people and providing meditation to employees. I use Calm to "warm up" for ten minutes and then go to much better platforms. The app and meditation are middling. It is good for beginners, but you will quickly move beyond. Many of their sessions seem to assume you are almost a basket case and aim to help people who are simply rare. People who suffer from debilitating anxieties, depression, self-worth, etc. Yes, they exist, but most of us don't suffer such debilitation and this is not the aim of meditation for most. They love to have celebrity led sessions by people who are not exceptional in leading meditation. Most egregious is their "help." While I always get logged in automatically, my iPhone reset and I had to resend my password. I had lost it. I emailed them and they sent back an email saying they were overwhelmed with requests but would get back to me. I'm 6 days and waiting. Got another email saying I was in-line but they were still working on it. They are quick to take your money and their help is AI or nothing. There are much better sessions, and you can go to YouTube and find many for free. This app is like getting on the Bunny Slope at a ski resort. Yes, it is fine for the first days. But you are better served to move up in the world. Meditation is a wonderful addition to any life. But you will never get to a better level if you use Calm. Too bad their subscription is a year long. You really grow out of them in around a month or so. As you will see from the other comments, they specialize in disallowing cancelation and you are automatically renewed no matter what. Getting that taken care of seems close to impossible. It is almost as if they may have six people working for them. 4 are in sales, one is Tamara, 1 uploads stuff, and none work in customer service. It is all AI. They are one of the leading money makers in this area and they simply refuse to use their money to help, or respect, their customers. T***** should be ashamed of herself as she prattles on like she cares.
