AWARENESS App Reviews

I love how they kept the user interface simple and to the point. I find it very useful in my case, esp. the fact that you can put reminders to record your feelings on hold while you are in a meeting (it apparently knows about your calendar/schedule). The videos really work, very relaxing and beautiful. Looking forward to see where this app goes. I have some ideas that I will send to the devs.

Today is the perfect day to start using this app.  For me, today is the day I had a root canal.  So, how wonderful to be asked, "What are you feeling right now?" at regular intervals--and then be reminded of the tools to work through each state. Hopefully, today is the perfect day for you to start using this app too (but not because you had a root canal!).   Awareness speaks to us with photography, videos, quotations, meditations, charts. . . but it is not at all overwhelming. It is easy to use and respectful of our time. For example, we stay with a mediation until we press "continue," so the duration is up to us. We set reminders according to our own calendars. (We can even tell it to skip meetings or weekends.) If we miss a question-and-answer break, the next time we look at our Ipods or Iphones, our question will be waiting for us on the screen. It is smooth and intuitive, and is set up for each one of us to be successful.  Imagine the shift in our collective consciousness as more and more of us go forth with positive realization.  Bravo to Ronit Herzfeld and her team!! Bravo to us for finding, receiving and practicing Awareness!!

this app is life changing! it really helps to remind us that we can get thru anything a moment at a time.

I had the opportunity to part of the "test group" use the AWARENESS iPhone app before it became available here -- and the results of using this app have been amazing! Working in a high-stress job, these "mini-breaks" throughout the day -- when my reminder alarm goes off, and I take a 60-second break to use the app -- have taught me that I really dont have to be "swept away" by feelings of anxiety and worry. Based on the studies Ive read, stress clearly has a negative impact on the human immune system, so its safe to say that the AWARENESS iPhone app will actually improve my health! Even in just a few weeks, it has already improved my marriage and the way I interact with my children. This is truly a wonderful app!

Seriously. This powerful app teaches the tools to help us get out of destructive behavioral patterns and start to see what is really going on in our lives. Awareness helps us create more choice and freedom. And its a fn iPhone app for cryin out loud! I cant imagine how much better the world would be if we put as much time into Awareness as we did Angry Birds. Lets do it!

What an amzing and life changing idea, wrapped into such a practical package! The Awareness app is a neat little tool that helps remind us that all the little stressfull moments that make up our every day lives really are just little moments that will soon pass. Through its beautiful pictures and inspirational quotes, the Awarennes app reminds us to take a little bit of time out of our busy lives and focus on ourselves. Its a great tool that teaches us how to move through the destructive behaviors that sometimes trap us in unhealthy and unproductive routines and move towards a more fulfilling and positive life. :)

This app is a Godsend! If you are as passionate as I am about working towards a heart full of compassion, forgiveness and acceptance towards your self and others - this is a master tool.

After a lifetime of stress & trauma, my body, mind, and spirit can use all the help I can get. This app easily allows me the opportunity to bring more much needed "Awareness" into my day-to-day life, which I know will help me heal. (I highly suggest you subscribe to the devs blog, too. She surely seems to have a LOT of heart and a lovely spirit.) I happy to finally see an app that does more than lead me to mindlessly waste my time. Thanks!

This app is wonderful! It is easy to use and the reports are very organized and helpful. Awareness really helped me become a better person and I am more confident and friendly! And I have been able to deal with my emotions more calmly and productively. I am amazed at how life changing an app can be and it was worth the 5 dollars I paid. I recommend it to everyone whether they are trying to become a better person or already are one. This app works wonders!

I like the whole idea of this app. I have been using it for a couple of weeks and its nice to be able to see the range of emotions I went through and which emotions were most prevalent. That said, I dont think the price is justified for a nice UI and some inspiring quotations.

This is a very worthwhile app. As a therapist, I often encourage my patients to tune in to their emotions. The capability to perform brief journaling would make this a five star app. In lieu of journaling, a tab to record thoughts would work as well. After all, its our thoughts that drive our emotions and behaviors. I see myself using this daily. Even therapists can use a reminder to tune in once in a while. :-) Well done.

The Awareness app is an outstanding guide for cultivating emotional intelligence, integration, and resolution. The process has a clarity that effectively helps one work through and beyond challenging feelings and concerns to access understandings, self-empowerment, peace. Furthermore, the habits of mindfulness it encourages begin to take root naturally and become a new part of an individuals empowered awareness, indeed. What a Gift! With the Awareness app, a liberating mirror of the Soul now exists within our companion technologies. Thank you! :)

Wont go past the general instruction screen just keeps playing same intro video of lady talking over and over

Awful!! I should have taken previous reviewers warning as I had the same experience. I watched the intro video and nothing happened after. It said tap to continue but nothing happens. I wouldnt even give it one star but Apple makes you give at least one. Ugh.

Its a well thought out app but there are some limitations. First off please know that mostly you are paying $3.99 to have someone remind you to take a deep breath. The advice given is very generic and far too repetitive. It tells you to do things like. "embrace the feeling" "let the feeling move through you" "be present with the feeling". All of which is a bit fluffy and intangible. All of the advice ends with "smile" and the suggestions are given way to fast to really process so you get to "smile" often before you are ready to do it. Ive had the app one day and Im already tired of reading the same suggestions over and over. Technically the photos are very relaxing but at the expense of being able to read much of the drop down menus. Too much dark text over dark backgrounds. This needs to be fixed. Its pretty obvious to me the majority if not all of the 5 star ratings are from the creator of the app, colleagues of the creator, or people who got it for free as a test. If it were .99 it would have been well worth it but at $3.99 its not worth the money in my opinion.

This app needs to bring more to the table in order to justify its nearly $4 price tag. Its interesting to see my spectrum of moods and feelings as well as what I was doing at the time, but it needs more than that. The pictures are nice, but the advice and quotes are repetitive and fluffy. It could use more substance. Perhaps a journal feature, a guided meditation feature or mantras would validate the cost.

It took some time for me to discover the beauty of the Awareness app, but with steady daily use I have come to really appreciate its power for allowing me to reconnect with myself in a deeper way. The design is smart and the graphics are beautiful, especially the use of color-matching for a diverse list of feelings. And there are numerous tutorials embedded in the app to educate and instruct. I now find that I am beginning to become more aware of my feelings away from the app without being notified. And I am learning how to better identify different feelings in myself more accurately. It is just the simple act of quieting my mind for a moment each day and putting my attention on what I feel in the moment that is the greatest benefit of the Awareness app. I think creator Ronit Herzfeld has tapped into a vehicle for self-discovery and self-empowerment with Awareness-a superb use of technology for the sake of enlightenment!! You need only allow it to bring your emotional body to life.

After I installed it all I got was her speech over and over and over again-I couldnt get past general instructions-a rip off

I saw this lady on CNN and decided to give her app a try. First of all the price is absolutely ridiculous and far too high for the actual usefulness of the app. 2nd I got so annoyed by the random alerts I got repeatedly throughout the day I stopped recording my feelings because the only time I ever did was when I was in a passive enough mood not to be frustrated by the nuisance pop-ups. 3rd the remediation mediation screen after you enter your feelings lasts hardly enough time to have an impact. Overall Id give this app a D- simply for the initial thought and concept of what it was intended to do but it completely misses the mark. I just deleted this annoying thing off my phone and wish I could have my 3 bucks back. What a rip-off. Dont waste your money on this garbage.

Though sometimes intrusive in (which is the point), this app has positively impacted the control and perspective I have in managing day-to-day chaos. It has proven to be a very valuable grounding tool that has frequently broken negative energy trends and escorted me to a more productive place. Though probably not for the instant gratification crowd it is well worth the price of a cup of coffee.
