Chill – Mindfulness Reminders

I love Chill. Even on days when I say to myself, “I don’t have time to meditate,” The little reminders pop up throughout the day to remind me to pause and breathe. My only complaint is that the reminders that pop up through the day can’t be pulled up by opening the app. When a reminder comes in, my screen is usually locked. But when I open the screen it’s gone and I can’t find it anywhere. Every once in a while if I swipe right they’ll be there along with all the other daily notifications, but that’s rare. Chill, if you’re reading this, please add a feature that allows people to pull up all the mindfulness reminders that come in during that day from the app. Then it would be perfect!

In this dizzying world of constant stimulation and demand for action, this app has given me the instant sense of peace and mindfulness I have needed countless times. It is exactly what I need it to be and nothing more, providing a daily graceful quote, an alluring picture, and an overall simplistic vibe. It has helped me with my phone addiction; when I am seeking stimulation to subconsciously escape from the present, I either just see the app logo or open the app and read the quote and I am immediately centered. What finally prompted me to write a review was the chuckle-worthy April Fools joke. These folks have a great vision and tasteful humor to go along with it.

I've never reviewed an app on here before, but feel so strongly about this one that I decided it was warranted. I look forward to getting my new quotes in the morning and it puts me in a good mood when I receive them. I work in a hectic, fast paced job environment and have the app set up to send me a few reminders throughout the day. I'll be racing around and get a reminder to be present & appreciate the moment or one that tells me to stop & take a deep breath, which might seem like a simple concept but it has helped reduce my stress level tremendously.

I have had this app for several years now and love that you can a) set a reminder to view daily inspiration, b) count on consistently inspiring and thought provoking sayings, c) rely on the images to be beautiful and unique, d) highlight your favorites for later, and e) count on the quotes to be different (I think I have seen two repeats ever). I love how they recently started using more human imagery. When I see the beautiful and unique imagery of human faces, I feel more inspired to try to embody and put forth the inspiration provided. Great app!

This app used to have awesome quotes and I gave it another chance for like 2 weeks but every single quote is by a.) 90% of the time someone you’ve NEVER or will you EVER hear of and b.) absolutely useless or completely stupid quotes. I’ve finally broken down and deleted the app. Won’t waste my time with giving it a chance again. Like I said the quotes used to be awesome and whoever decided to change things up made a grave mistake. Download the Buddhist quote app or Bible quote apps. I mean seriously, anything but wasting your time on this. Reading these no name quotes is like reading fake quotes from the office know it all. “...... Hey Jessica, don’t forget that we cannot love ourselves unless we touch each other first.... deep huh?” No. Not deep at all. Dumb af. Bye.
