App Description

This sample app was created with Ionic and is designed to help people relax and make it easier to practice self-guided meditations and quick relaxation techniques. These techniques can be practiced on your own with the aid of the app. No special knowledge or experience is required — just follow the exercise steps.

Using App

Technical Details

The app uses the Cordova Media plug-in for playing audio files, and the native HTML5 audio element is used for playing audio on the desktop. When you play the audio on the device, music controls are shown, allowing the user to control the playback. For this functionality, the app uses the Cordova Music Controls plug-in.

The exercise data is stored in the custom Angular service, dataService.

The auxiliary ngx-countdown module is used for managing the countdown timer on the Timer app page. The progress circle is presented by an SVG element, which attributes depend on the timer value.

App UI

The app UI is intuitive and very attractive.

The Home page nests three different options: MEDITATION TIMER, QUICK RELAX and SLEEP BETTER all of which offer different activities to be used for relaxation:

Navigation through the app can be made using the bottom tabs bar.
