It's a triple celebration! 🥳

1. It's Medito's 1st birthday! 🎂

Wish Medito a happy birthday on social media with the hashtag #HappyBirthdayMedito for your chance to win! See below for details.

2. Medito has just passed half a million downloads 🎉

We're so happy to have reached this amazing milestone after just one year! We couldn't have done it without you - thank you so much!

3. A shiny new app interface is rolling out 💪

We've started rolling out the new app design! It will be released in phases to make sure it is all working correctly and you have the best experience possible. If you haven't already got the update, it will be available within the next two weeks. The new version of the app includes a home screen with quick links to the most popular sections and an easier way to navigate through the main courses. There is also a new 'Library' section where you can easily find your downloaded sessions.

To celebrate, we're giving away six book bundles. To be in with a chance of winning, all you have to do is post, share, retweet or comment on social media with the hashtag #HappyBirthdayMedito - and don’t forget to follow us - @MeditoHQ. Good luck!
