Our verdict
Shiv Yog holds an exceptional 4.9-star average across 674 App Store ratings and ranks #50 in App Store search results for "meditation". This is a data-driven review compiled from its store listing, pricing, and user-rating profile — we have not yet completed hands-on testing, and a full editorial review is planned.
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.
Shiv Yog, developed by SYC Infinite Inc, is a meditation app that currently holds an exceptional 4.9-star average across 674 App Store ratings — a smaller app still building its audience.
Its App Store listing describes it this way: “Give your body and mind the love they need through Yoga of Immortals (YOI) protocols prepared by founder Ishan Shivanand.” 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.
Pros & cons
What we like

- Free to download, so trying it costs nothing.
- Ranks #50 in App Store search for "meditation" — genuine visibility in its category.
- Available since 2024, with an established presence on the store.
What we don’t
- We have not yet hands-on tested this app — this review reflects store data, not editorial experience.
- Like most free wellness apps, expect in-app subscription offers; check current pricing before committing.
- Smaller user base than the category leaders, so the rating sample is limited.

What Shiv Yog is
Shiv Yog is a meditation app for iOS by SYC Infinite Inc, first released in 2024.
In the developer's words: “Give your body and mind the love they need through Yoga of Immortals (YOI) protocols prepared by founder Ishan Shivanand.”
Where Shiv Yog sits in the category
By the numbers: an exceptional 4.9-star average across 674 App Store ratings, ranking #50 in App Store search for "meditation". That makes it a smaller app still building its audience.
Store ratings are not the whole story — they skew positive across this category — but a large sample at 4.9 stars is a meaningful signal that existing users find it does what it promises.
What the listing emphasizes
“Give your body and mind the love they need through Yoga of Immortals (YOI) protocols prepared by founder Ishan Shivanand.” — 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 Shiv Yog falls behind
Editorial vetting. Unlike Calm or Headspace, we have not yet tested Shiv Yog 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.
Shiv Yog vs. the category leaders
The meditation app category is anchored by Calm, Headspace, Insight Timer — all of which we have reviewed editorially, hands-on.
Shiv Yog's case rests on its user-rating profile (4.9 stars, 674 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 Shiv Yog for free if its specific angle appeals — App Store ratings this positive usually mean the core experience delivers.
Bottom line
Shiv Yog earns an exceptional 4.9-star average across 674 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.
