Description
Sway is an ‘interactive meditation’ experience. It uses your phone to track movement and provides feedback to help you gain focus and improve your attention.
With six unique levels, you will learn new techniques to be mindful in everyday life situations and subtly practise mindfulness anytime and anywhere.
From simply moving your phone in your hand while sitting down or lying in bed, to gently swaying your body while waiting for the bus or even walking slowly around the office – Sway is designed to help you find focus in everyday life using ‘interactive meditation’.
Relying on slow and continuous motion, Sway encourages you to find your own, most effective and subtle way to practise mindfulness in any given situation.
Sway is best experienced with headphones.

Ratings and Reviews
Great app but crashes
Such a good app when it works but the latest update seems to crash every time I use it.
Disappointing and unpractical.
I’m usually cautious before purchasing a pair-for app, but as a fan of ‘Pause’, I decided to give Sway a go. The first level one, which is suppose to help you with your attention, is just simply ridiculous. It has you waving your phone about in the air, which is neither practical anywhere outside your own home or particularly effective. While each of the ‘levels’ focus on a slightly different thing (focus, presence etc) you cannot access further levels until you complete the one prior. If this was an arcade game, that would make sense. But it’s not. It’s a tool to help the paying consumer relax. It should allow access to each of the setting as the user pleases and requires. My final advice is that, if you’re going to pay for a relaxation app, there are better alternatives out there.
Portable Tai Chi
This app is very interesting. I have used it a few times since yesterday and I noticed it does help increase my attention and body awareness. I also feel relaxed (as if I got some dopamine release) afterwards.
I disagree with the negative reviews although I sympathise with them in a way, because Tai Chi can be very confusing at first. But I would say it is important to distinguish the app itself and the initial dislike of Tai Chi I sensed in other comments. The app in itself is excellent.
