What Meditation is
Meditation is a meditation app for iOS by Sunny Side Hurricane LLC, first released in 2019.
In the developer's words: “Reduce stress in work and personal life, gradually eliminate anxiety, have more and better sleeping hours, help yourself to concentrate, see how your health improves, and reach happiness in any area of your life with the”
Where Meditation sits in the category
By the numbers: a strong 4.7-star average across 20,897 App Store ratings, ranking #24 in App Store search for "meditation". That makes it an established app with a substantial user base.
Store ratings are not the whole story — they skew positive across this category — but a large sample at 4.7 stars is a meaningful signal that existing users find it does what it promises.
What the listing emphasizes
“Reduce stress in work and personal life, gradually eliminate anxiety, have more and better sleeping hours, help yourself to concentrate, see how your health improves, and reach happiness in any area of your life with the” — that is the pitch, in the developer's own words.
We quote the listing rather than paraphrase it so you can judge the developer's claims for yourself. Our hands-on editorial review, when published, will test those claims.
Where Meditation falls behind
Editorial vetting. Unlike Calm or Headspace, we have not yet tested Meditation hands-on.
Transparency of in-app pricing. App Store listings often reveal subscription costs only after download — check the in-app purchases section of the listing.
Brand ecosystem. The category leaders pair their apps with large content teams and published research; smaller apps rarely match that depth.
Meditation vs. the category leaders
The meditation app category is anchored by Calm, Headspace, Insight Timer — all of which we have reviewed editorially, hands-on.
Meditation's case rests on its user-rating profile (4.7 stars, 20,897 ratings) and its free download. The leaders' case rests on vetted content depth and track record.
A sensible approach: read our editorial reviews of the leaders first, and try Meditation for free if its specific angle appeals — App Store ratings this numerous usually mean the core experience delivers.
Bottom line
Meditation earns a strong 4.7-star average across 20,897 App Store ratings — real users like it. Until our hands-on review lands, treat this page as an honest data profile: strong signals, store-verified facts, and clearly marked limits.
