Exactly what I need

Simple and straightforward, has some bugs but they don’t interfere with the experience.

Discipline, motivation, and stats

I have now used this app for over a month each day, and it encouraged discipline for me to meditate regularly, and motivates me to increase my number of sittings, and finally, being big into keeping my own stats, this has allowed me the ease of recording each hour.

I highly recommend this, if you are a serious meditator and want to get to the next level. Also if you are having trouble meditating daily, and you are a beginner, give it a try, I think it will help you up your disciple and practice.

Helpful tool - not just a timer

Really helping my practice. It’s not just a timer but with the tracking and stats, it serves as a motivational tool too. I like that I can see if there are other people also meditating- reminds me that there is a community of people who are also keeping up with their practice.
Only thing I would prefer is the timer to also sound if I have it on another app - eg if I use Spotify for audio from goenka. However can see that this suggestion has been addressed by the developer on another comment and there’s a technical limitation to having this.

Works but improvement needed

I like the simplicity of the app. Great to be able to set your own timer as I wanted to sit for 2 hours and most apps only allowed settings to 1 hour. It will be good if the timer and chime continue to work with the screen turned off. Currently the timer continues but the chime does not. Also, it will benefit from a preparation time, eg allowing for 5-10 secs before meditation starts so we can press the start button and then settle a little. Thank you for the app. Despite above, I will continue to use it.

Response from developer

Hello, I tried many ways to implement your first wish. I asked the apple developer support. They told me, it's not possible in a way supported by apple. When you switch off the display the app goes to the background and after some time its possible that it will be closed completely by the os. There are some tricks, but they all not supported and it is possible that apple will kick such an app from the store. So I decided not to use tricks (also for shila). The use of your second wish I do not understand. For what purpose you need some extra time? Why you do not just start the timer and then prepare? Why that 5-10 s more? If you like write me an email - you find my address in the app.
