Leave a Review Meditation, Zazen, Yoga Timer
Absolutely worth the purchase
I will start by agreeing with others and acknowledging the beautiful simplicity of this app. Other meditation timer apps have a tendency to incorporate over the top design themes, and unnecessary clutter to make it seem like you are getting your money's worth, so to speak. There is no need for such things when the most important part of your practice is the meditation itself. The next feature I will acknowledge is the length of time you can set a meditation. It is absolutely by far the longest of all that's out there, and can be set for hours, not just 30 min to an hour max. This is important to the practitioners that desire longer meditations. Next is the audio. The sounds are very clear and high quality and worth the purchase. I especially like using the softer deep Tibetan bells so as to not be so abrupt while ending a deep meditation. The selection is wonderful. And last but not least, the process of personalizing a meditation is quite simple and the dark display along with the simplicity also adds to the soft comfort found in this timer. Worth the purchase!Show lessCrunok
I've tried them all
I like this app because it doesn't get in the way of embracing the simplicity in silence that we are attempting to approach in meditation. The features are minimal but enough. The sound quality is excellent. It is easy to use and set up. The experience of using a meditation timer app is not about playing with gadgetry. It's about having a tool that does what you need (timer, tracking, good sound, stability) but no more. Most of the other apps make this mistake. Not this one. Seven stars.Show lessClark Battle
Elegant
This app is what I've been looking for: reliable performance, clean and thoughtful UI and the right amount of controls. The gesture control over meditation time is elegant although I think it is not possible on the main screen when there is a warm-up period.
Anyway I'm glad I found this; the one I used to use no longer works on iphone 6 and the others I looked at were crap.Show lessleapingheart
Best meditation app
I have tried every app in the store. Most of them are ugly, clunky, require you to sign up for their service, or overemphasize guided meditations. Nothing wrong with guided meditations of course, but when you're just looking for an app to facilitate a silent sitting practice, lots of frills become distracting.
Samsara is clean, beautifully designed, intuitive to use, and easily customized to suit your practice. You have full control over the bells, the intervals, the length, all of it. The minimal design makes it easy to read at a glance and otherwise undistracting. Simple controls make starting a new session quick, and if you are interrupted, pausing and resuming is easy.
I adore this app, and I believe you will too. May all beings be at peace.Show lessionhelen
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 meditation timer
I've been using this timer for several months and love it. It's simple, yet powerful and flexible. The timer has no distracting numbers counting down, just a simple, slowly-completed circle. There are a variety of nice sounds to from which to select, and you can choose how many times to play them at the beginning and end of meditation and as reminders in between. If I were to change anything about the app, it would be to make the sounds a bit longer; they tend to cut off a little prematurely, before they've faded completely.Show lessSnhfr
Great but 1hr limit
This ap is near perfect. It's simple and elegant. My wife and I have been using it for our first 21 days after our first Reiki attunement and it has been very useful. The only thing I'd ask of from the developers is to some how enable a time longer then 1hr as my wife and I constantly have to reset our times. The statistics feature is a great thing but because of time limit of an hour, the ap seems to have long us in for less time then we have spent. If it had been for that, this ap would have been 5 stars for us. Hope to change my review in the near future!Show lesslanciple
Use it everyday
This app helps me stay focused and honest as I meditate. I set the refocusing bells at 5 minute intervals which gives me the feedback I need to develop one-pointed concentration. The tracking of consecutive days supports and challenges me to build a steady, daily practice. I use another app-Self-to log my pranayama and insights. The two work really well together. But if I could only use one, it would me this one. Thank you!Show lessStillness now
Amazing
I have been searching for a mediation timer to fit my needs for a while now. I need look no further, because this app is perfect. A clean, simple interface gives the app an easy-to-use, sophisticated touch. Also, the statistics keep you meditating, to try to be better.
Hands-down best meditation timer available. Thanks.Show lessCathette
Perfect
I love everything about this app- it's beautiful, simplistic design, the fact I can hide the clock, the dark colors so it doesn't distract while in a dark room. I love the bell chimes, and how I can set it to chime every ten minutes. It's just enough to bring focus back from a wandering mind. Because of this app I now meditate regularly at least once a day, usually two or three times a day. Thanks so much! My only complaint- allow it to play sounds in silent mode. I don't like having to turn my phone off vibrate and hear texts, emails, etc coming in. Again, though, great app. I love this.
EDIT: again I'm so grateful, you fixed the sound issue! Awesome that you read reviews and improve on them. Great work.Show lessPhrixious
