App update erased my data?

An app update appears to have erased my logbook with my meditation record. This is very bad. An update should never destroy user data without offering a wait to back it up.

Do not update the app

The logbook and daily practice has disappeared and so has the entire data of your sittings. Upon contacting the team they recommend going to settings and enabling logbook a function which isn’t even available. Years if my data was wiped out.

Hard to navigate and daily practice tab seems to be missing??

I don’t have the daily practice function for some reason? I have an account and I thought that might make it show up but it didn’t.. help!

Live virtual courses

It would be incredibly helpful if live virtual courses can be incorporated into this app from different centers around the world. My understanding is there is a daily virtual sitting (eastern time based) which requires dialing in and various zoom sittings run by different centers around the world. Why not put them all on the app so we can see who is having a virtual sitting now, in what language, etc. It could be similar to Live events on Insight Timer (without the UI being as distracting as on Insight).

NO LONGER WORKS OFFLINE :(

Must have for anyone interested or follow the meditation practice. App stable and well designed. I can't use it offline, even if i download the sits in the old student portal so when I sit to meditate I get all the social media and email notification. Please fix this! :(

Love this app

Great app, love that it helps me keep in touch with my practice during COVID... a big thank you to the wonderful Dhamma volunteers building this tool. Are apple health integration, watch integration, or dark mode on the road map?

Truly amazing for old students!

Thank you for making this wonderful app. It is so intuitive and has everything we need. The new self-course feature given current 2020 situation is wonderful.

Valuable support for your practice

This app has everything you need: daily reminders, a variety of recordings, including long instructions, discourses, links to virtual sits around the world, links to centers and course registration, downloadable recordings of talks by Goenka-ji, etc. There is even a 10-15 minute Anapana recording to play for your curious family or roommates.

One of the most useful features for me is the logbook, which tracks every sit you do through this app, including duration. It's very encouraging to see consistent progress. Do note that virtual sits open in Zoom and therefore are not logged by the program.

I really appreciate the thoughtful design of this app and how quickly the team updated it for covid-times. It is lean and elegant yet highly customizable. There are no distracting graphics and no social component, either - fantastic. Just sit.

One thing I would love to see is some sort of widget to keep my practice at the forefront of my mind every time I use my phone.

For now, I keep it on my home screen to keep my practice high priority. It is the most important app in my library.

Much metta to the developers and to all my dhamma family! May you grow in your practice. May you be happy, peaceful, and liberated!

I love it, wish there was an Apple Watch version.

Great app. The only challenge for me is having to use my phone in order to use it, which is a major source of distraction for me. I think it would be great if the recordings could be extended to watchOS, too!

Brilliant app for old students

This app is wonderful! Great for general meditation practice, self courses and so much more. I was having battery issues with my iPhone but my iPad battery usage is super efficient so it must be my phone. Great work guys πŸ™πŸΌπŸ™πŸΌπŸ™πŸΌ
