Our verdict
#Mindful holds an exceptional 4.8-star average across 14,093 App Store ratings and ranks #19 in App Store search results for "affirmations".

Data-driven review: this page is compiled from App Store data — the app’s real rating average and count, pricing, search ranking, and the developer’s published description (quoted, not paraphrased). We have not yet hands-on tested this app; a full editorial review is planned. Our hands-on-tested picks are marked throughout. Unsponsored, no affiliate influence.
#Mindful is Mind Blown Apps, LLC's entry in the affirmations app space, and users rate it highly: an exceptional 4.8-star average across 14,093 App Store ratings.
Its App Store listing describes it this way: “"This app is kind of like getting a text from a good friend telling you how much they appreciate you: it takes a few seconds to read, puts a smile on your face, and reminds you what's really important in life.” As with all listings, that is the developer's own framing — useful for understanding what the app aims to be.
This review is compiled from App Store data — the rating profile, pricing, ranking, and the developer's published description — rather than hands-on testing. We flag that openly: it tells you what the data supports, and our full editorial review will go deeper.

- Large rating base (14,093) makes the star average statistically meaningful.
What we don’t

- Like most free wellness apps, expect in-app subscription offers; check current pricing before committing.

What #Mindful is
#Mindful is a affirmations app for iOS by Mind Blown Apps, LLC, first released in 2013.
In the developer's words: “"This app is kind of like getting a text from a good friend telling you how much they appreciate you: it takes a few seconds to read, puts a smile on your face, and reminds you what's really important in life.”
Where #Mindful sits in the category
By the numbers: an exceptional 4.8-star average across 14,093 App Store ratings, ranking #19 in App Store search for "affirmations". 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 4.8 stars is a meaningful signal that existing users find it does what it promises.
What the listing emphasizes
“"This app is kind of like getting a text from a good friend telling you how much they appreciate you: it takes a few seconds to read, puts a smile on your face, and reminds you what's really important in life.” — 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 #Mindful falls behind
Editorial vetting. Unlike I Am or Selfpause, we have not yet tested #Mindful 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.
#Mindful vs. the category leaders
The affirmations app category is anchored by I Am, Selfpause, ThinkUp — all of which we have reviewed editorially, hands-on.
#Mindful's case rests on its user-rating profile (4.8 stars, 14,093 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 #Mindful for free if its specific angle appeals — App Store ratings this numerous usually mean the core experience delivers.
Bottom line
#Mindful earns an exceptional 4.8-star average across 14,093 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.
