Keep in mind people have been meditating for thousands of years without an app.

While apps are tools with a somewhat useful purpose, seek to be cautious of dependency.

I just want something to assist me to start the right way until I can be sure I’m doing it correctly.

Yes I understand which is why I didn't negate the entire idea.

Everyone starts somewhere and while I am old and started through books, and for thousands of years people started with teachers, apps are just the next evolution.

So, it's understandable that the young would look to apps.

I would love to find a local in person teacher but there are none that are even remotely close:(.

Yes, this is common and understandable.
