How were some of the other meditation apps? I have been planning to get some meditation app but I do very, very few "extra" apps and hadn't gotten around to doing so. I really dislike being the product and don't use Apple products so can't check there myself.

I like Calm, and I purchase the yearly subscription. I use the ten minute daily meditation, and it helps me quite a bit. I don't use it as often as I should though!
They also have sleep stories, but I find I fall asleep better to a boring podcast, lol.

I don't really understand how they can collect all the info listed above. How do they get Contact info, search history etc.? never mind sensitive info. What exactly do they consider sensitive and how is it accessed? Is the browsing history just from their app or is it from Google? I use Duck Duck Go as my search engine so I don't know if they can track that. ETA: I have an android phone. |

I use DuckDuckGo for searching also and they say they are not passing information about us to on to any other source. But as it is a free app, I have wondered how they are making money.
