Hi all. Thanks for taking the time to check out Oak v2.0. This new version has been redesigned from scratch. Every tile / badge has been hand painted (watercolor) then scanned into the app. We've also updated streak counting and achievements.
Aside from the visual changes, we've added guided Loving Kindness meditation (aka metta meditation). This method dates back to 400 BCE and we're excited for you to try it.
Enjoy and let us know if you have any questions. Next up: Android, connected device integration (Oura, Apple Watch), and additional meditation disciplines.
@chris_moore1 we wanted a design that would be less utilitarian and support more meditation disciplines over time - the left to right scrolling help with that.
@kevinrose Love the app. My only wish list is that it vibrates during certain breathing routines so I don’t have to look at the screen to know when to switch from inhaling and exhaling.
I love how you've been keeping your beta users up-to-date with previews of new features and updates in your Facebook group, @kevinrose. This is certainly helped build community and loyalty to Oak but how has it shaped the product?
@rrhoover The facebook community feedback helped shape literally hundred of edits to the guided meditation tracks. If you think about how most meditation apps work, there is a recorded track and you listen to it, there is no user feedback. With the facebook community we collected hundreds of surveys post meditation (also if they canceled a meditation). Based on those surveys, themes emerged around the wording our instructors were using, the pacing, even the type of chime sounds we were using. After several rounds of edits the overall score (1-10) increased and we ultimately shipped a much better product.
