@rrhoover The facebook community feedback helped shape literally hundred of edits to the guided meditation tracks. If you think about how most meditation apps work, there is a recorded track and you listen to it, there is no user feedback. With the facebook community we collected hundreds of surveys post meditation (also if they canceled a meditation). Based on those surveys, themes emerged around the wording our instructors were using, the pacing, even the type of chime sounds we were using. After several rounds of edits the overall score (1-10) increased and we ultimately shipped a much better product.
@kevinrose Love the app. My only wish list is that it vibrates during certain breathing routines so I don’t have to look at the screen to know when to switch from inhaling and exhaling.
Hi all. Thanks for taking the time to check out Oak v2.0. This new version has been redesigned from scratch. Every tile / badge has been hand painted (watercolor) then scanned into the app. We've also updated streak counting and achievements.
Aside from the visual changes, we've added guided Loving Kindness meditation (aka metta meditation). This method dates back to 400 BCE and we're excited for you to try it.
Enjoy and let us know if you have any questions. Next up: Android, connected device integration (Oura, Apple Watch), and additional meditation disciplines.
@kevinrose looks good but bring back the navy background for the icon, I already have too many white icons as it is lol
@chris_moore1 we wanted a design that would be less utilitarian and support more meditation disciplines over time - the left to right scrolling help with that.
@kevinrose That looks awesome! I hope the android version will be out soon. If there's any need for beta testers, let me know ;) Especially great is the oura Integration!
@kevinrose Beautiful UI. The fact you guys took the time to hand paint some of the app elements is evident. Definitely an app I could see drawing people into the world of meditation, because you've made it interesting.
Amazing! What made you go with Loving Kindless meditation next? Good experience with it?
Hey everybody! So excited that this is out in the world! I'm working on a "making of" video from the design POV and will post it here when it's ready to go next week! For those who are curious, we used Figma for most of the production work.
@jicecream I can't say enough good things about AJ&Smart. They were great partners and really drove the redesign and layout. LOVED the sprint progress with them. Highly recommend if you're looking for a design partner.
@kevinrose Cheers man! Was a pleasure working with you, made it super easy for us!
This is one of my daily used app along with 2 others for meditation and breathing practice. Awesome product.
Pros:Simple
Cons:Limited meditation contents
Can I leave my email address somewhere to be notified of the Android release? This looks so beautiful! :)
Great free mediation app. Great work from a generous team.
Pros:Clean design, intuitive
Cons:Some of the recorded bell sounds
Consumers need various options to practice meditation. This new version will give people more choice and is a solid product. Totally recommend!
