TRIPP®is a mind-blowing app that you can experience with VR glasses (Oculus, Sony PSVR, HTC Five Flow). But is it really effective and will you and your mind benefit and grow with it or is it just a fun distraction for the day?

This app got developed with neuroscience and psychiatric advisors and a big focus is on digital therapeutics. You have different options for how you want to work with your mind (focus, create, calm) and this virtual reality just looks mind-blowing.

Yes, absolutely. The VR is very comfortable, I didn’t experience VR sickness from it, and it is a fantastic way to implement a daily meditation practice. It takes you out of your world and drops you into a psychedelic virtual world. The music and the art in this world are beautiful. You get the feeling that this world sucks you in and spits you out with a better and calmer version of yourself.

My favorite option in this app is FOCUS. You need to navigate flying objects through obstacles. You just need to focus on your VR glasses and don’t even need your controllers throughout the whole experience.

If you are a beginner and you need some guidance, TRIPP® is a great start. I have had a meditation practice for a few years and I love this app. It is not like a real meditation but it has its purpose and can enhance the quality of your life by doing this daily. Especially during covid-lockdown-periods, this is a fantastic activity that can do from your living room. It takes you out of your own world and puts you into a wonderful world full of peace, calmness and psychedelic images.

There is a free demo version for everybody. I suggest that if you have suitable VR glasses for this app just give it a go and see for yourself if you like it or not. After I experienced the demo version I simply had to subscribe to this app.

Subscription plans are $19.99USD per year or $4.99USD per month. If you subscribed to TRIPP at a lower rate, your subscription will renew annually at your original rate as long as you stay subscribed to TRIPP.*

I love this app and it gives me something to look forward to every day. I have two small kids running wild so this app is a fantastic short holiday for my mind and even if I just do a short session (10–15 min) I come out of the experience more relaxed, more positive, and in a better mood.
