Hundreds of popular mobile apps today market their ties to mindfulness. Whatactivities do these apps support and what benefits do they claim? How domindfulness teachers, as domain experts, view these apps? We first conduct anexploratory review of 370 mindfulness-related apps on Google Play, finding thatmindfulness is presented primarily as a tool for relaxation and stressreduction. We then interviewed 15 U.S. mindfulness teachers from thetherapeutic, Buddhist, and Yogic traditions about their perspectives on theseapps. Teachers expressed concern that apps that introduce mindfulness only as atool for relaxation neglect its full potential. We draw upon the experiences ofthese teachers to suggest design implications for linking mindfulness withfurther contemplative practices like the cultivation of compassion. Ourfindings speak to the importance of coherence in design: that the metaphors andmechanisms of a technology align with the underlying principles it follows.
