Didn't think much about the market yet. For now, it is more an experiment to see what can be done. The app is based on Buddhist approach to mind training.

I'm the app's author. We are thinking about letting users create their profiles in the app. That would be "practice material" for users without Facebook accounts. Another option would be using the address book on the phone.
