Guided meditation apps?

I'm thinking of giving meditation a try and thought that it might be useful to have some guidance and maybe tracking to keep me motivated. Have any of you tried guided meditation apps? Any good/bad experiences?

    I've used Insight Timer Meditation Timer in the past on android. It has a nice assortment of guided meditation on the free version as well as having a number of sounds you can use for your timers. As the other poster said YouTube has a number of videos that can help you out. When I first started I enjoyed Alan Watts' Awakening the Mind guided meditation.

      Thanks! Insight Timer seems to have loads of selection. Will check out Awakening the Mind too.

    I have never used an app but have had great experiences with books and YouTube videos. I never thought to look for meditation apps, thanks to this post I will be sure to check them out. I will try to remember to come back to this post and get back to you. Thank you
    (If you would like me to share some links I would be more than happy to)

        There are more like this that can easily be found from the YouTube sidebar on the right. (http://en.falundafa.org/eng/zfl_new.html) for more info on Falun Dafa and Falun Gong, I do not necessarily even believe or follow it but the exercises have been continually wonderful for me.

          Thanks! I am sort of the same, I don't necessary believe in, well, anything really. But I think that taking some time out every day for these exercises could be really good for me.
