Leave a Review Meditation, Zazen, Yoga Timer
Great but crazy pricing
This is by far the best meditation timer out there - simple but customizable. I would easily give it 5 stars but the pricing modal is insane. I would gladly pay $5 for this timer and even if the price went up to $20 I would probably still pay, but $20 per year!? That is so far beyond what is reasonable for this kind of app that it is just ridiculous. I’m sure the dev could make way more money by changing to a more reasonable pricing modal.
The app is also hard to find in the App Store and there is a very similar app by the same dev for a different price - confusing.
A few small changes and this would be the best timer app ever . . .Show lessc3m4
Developer Response
Thanks for your honest feedback, c3m4. I'm sorry to read you find the pricing unreasonable. The app has been around for more than 10 years, which is quite exceptional for an app of an indie developer. It received a major update late last year, which was only possible thanks to the subscription the app offers. I'm currently working on support for Apple Watch and that too is only possible thanks to the financial support of you and many others.Simple, elegant, effective
I’ve been using this app for years as a meditation timer. It’s simple and easy to use. I like that it doesn’t have the “guided meditations” that some other apps have, which in my mind are distractions. Meditation is a silent activity that takes work. This app serves its purpose then gets out of your way so you can focus on that work.Show lessshaunchapman
Sustains my meditation practice
I keep coming back to Samsara because of its simplicity. I have a daily meditation practice. And I don’t want to fiddle with distracting features when I sit. This app let’s me set my time and just start. I’ve been using it for many years now.FrancescaB
Centering Prayer and morning meditation
Ideal app for Centering Prayer. Easy to set up, no distracting sounds or voices, and choices of number of times to sound the chimes at start and finish. Best of the 4 apps I tried. In addition, it tracks the number is sessions and frequency to help encourage your regular practice, a nice extra.LRicci
My favorite zazen app.
The things that I like about this app are: 1. Timer has a black background which reduces energy consumption and is not distracting in a darkened room. 2. Time left is displayed both in numbers as well as a circle being completed large enough that a quick glance will inform how much time is left. 3. There are multiple options for starting and ending the period to suits the users preference. What I don't like is the thumbnail of the app will have a red number alert staying how many days have gone by since last using the timer which can be easily confused with other such alerts in other apps in which something of an urgent nature needs to be addressed.Show lessPaustinik
Perfect mindset
This is the perfect app to shift your day. It also lets you choose setting for types of chimes, easy to adjust timer which is perfect. I could ask for a better one. First time I saw it was used on the show Billions and I know several high level executives which use it as well.Charles124488
Great app.
I use it for timed meditations. I wish the interface was a little more flexible allowing adding and/or subtracting times in the interface. Bell intervals at divisions of the meditation periods as well as set timed intervals. That being said I use it almost everyday. It’s clean clear and easy to use as it is. Great app.Show lessJPHuckins
I’ve used this for years
I’ve enjoyed the simplicity of this app for many years. Tracking meditation times is a useful and motivating way to increase the length and frequency of sitting. The display is beautiful as well the resonance of the bells.Bliss State
Perfect!
Great app for timing and tracking your meditation. Appreciate the “cool down” option to add a couple of minutes onto the end of my meditation with an additional bell. Also, the bell sound is lovely. Thanks for making this app!NatalieTischler
Perfectly simple meditation app
I love this app. All I need is a timer and a bell. This app has multiple bells sounds to choose from, and an intuitive interface to pause and restart the timer (gotta have that when you’re a mom). Thank you!barexaminee
