Review: My biggest issue with Guided Meditation VR (Previously called Guided Relaxation VR) is the lack of “Guidance”. With no meditation guidance, no breathing guidance, no guidance in any way! But in all honesty that is just about it for the big niggles. The videos rendered in 5K look amazing (even if they do take a fair while to download) and there are more than enough locations, music choices and options here to justify its price tag. While it doesn’t beat Nature Treks VR, in my opinion, it is still worth a download especially if you use your VR headset to relax and get away from the worries and stresses of the world. While far from perfect, it’s a nice little app with some amazing locations to unwind in.
