1 iPhone App of the Year
Echoing the rise of meditation and mindfulness as a mainstream wellness trend, Apple’s App Store editors chose popular meditation app Calm as the iPhone App of the Year in the U.S., UK, New Zealand, Australia and Ireland.
Calm features a plethora of guided and unguided meditations of various lengths based on a variety of programs, such as “calm” or “focus.” In addition, the app has unique features such as calming “Sleep Stories” and a breath-pacing “Breathe” function. It’s free to download, with some programs and features free-to-use, but the majority of the programs must be bought individually or as part of a monthly subscription.
