Potential bug

I Used the app first time today on my iOS device . iOS version 16.5.1 (c)
I set the meditation timer for 55mins including chanting and 4 min mitta. Even after 60 mins, I still did not hear anything while meditating, and realized that the timer stopped running sometime midway and was still on for another 18mins. Both the end chanting and mitta started playing the same time at that moment. Also when I tried to stop it, the audio kept playing in the background . I had to kill the app to stop it.
I like the app overall and would like to use it daily but can’t with this broken functionality

Unable to turn on metta

I use this everyday and for our weekly group sit. Unfortunately the extended metta in/off button appears on top of the calendar. So if I try to turn it on it takes me to the calendar page. Would love to see this change so I can end my sit with recorded metta.

Good with an issue

The sound recordings disappear when the app is quit. They have to be downloaded each time you listen to them.

Makes Me Meditate More

Honestly didn’t really meditate at all before this except at the end of a yoga class.

Two things really make this app work. The first is having the ability to track my progress over time. And the second is having group accountability where I get texts whenever my friends finish a session, reminding me to do more.

It’s a simple app but it does the trick.

Helps in meditation

Helping me to do continues mediation and keep track of my time. Good App. Thanks for creating this.

Best meditation app I’ve tried

Goenka Timer is simple and fantastic. There’s something about Goenka’s deep tones that help me immediately go deep into the meditation. I love the chanting and extended metta with a 30 minute sit. And the sit tracking is deeply satisfying. Great app. Thank you, Goenka!

Clean, simple, and powerful

Love how it tracks your meditation over time

The best meditation app

Help support vippassana and non-commercial meditation! This beats headspace and calm, hands down
