  • App Suddenly Switched to German

    I got the English version of the app in the Apple App Store. It worked fine for one day. When I went to use the app the next day, it was suddenly in German — with no way to change it back. I deleted the app, restarted my phone and tried reinstalling it … but it keeps coming up in German, even though I’ve selected the English version. Too bad. Other than that, I was enjoying the meditation timer.

  • Help

    I have enjoyed and used this app for over a year. Then the other day, I opened it and it has somehow switched to German instead of English. I have tapped on everything on the app, trying to find a way to switch the language back to English and I’m unable to fix it. I composed an email, but was unable to send due to an “invalid email address”. The sudden change and inability to reach someone about this issue is the only reason for the low rating. The app itself is great. Hopefully someone will respond to this review, because what good is a meditation app, if you are unable to use it? Please don’t disappoint. Also the only link for help is on the donate PayPal page. When I clicked the “app support” link, it takes you to the description of meditation, how to meditate, no link for actual help with problems with the app. Strange.

  • Great basic meditation app

    This is a basic meditation timer, which is what I want, without all the peripherals. I was using another timer app but it stopped loading due to all of its peripheral features when I was at my usual retreat place, which has poor internet signal. I haven’t tried this app there yet but think it will be OK. I’ve taken one star off for the background hum on the bowl sound and for the inability to change the number of “dings” at the start and end of the meditation period.

  • Good replacement for Insight Timer

    Insight Timer was my meditation timer for 5 years but evidently Mark Zuckerburg has bought it and is trying to "commodity- ise" its users. Support this one with cash donations if you can - if you don't pay for an app your life becomes the product that is sold.
  • Good but needs work

    This app has some of the best sounds, but has no preparation/warm-up or rest/cool-down time before or after. If you have to push the start button to begin then what’s the point of a starting bell?
    Hopefully they will add on these necessary times because I would prefer the bell and background sounds on this app to all the others I have heard.

  • The Best Meditation App!

    This free app is exceptional! It is exactly what I was looking for and even includes Ambient sounds if you live in a noisy city or just want to reconnect with a different natural environment. I truly appreciate the engineering genius behind this. For me, these calm interval reminders and a different calming sound vibration at the end were so simple to set up and use. Thank you!!!

  • Excellent and calming

    I have tried several meditation apps, but I keep coming back to this one. The app is well designed and the speaker is very soothing. It’s simple, effective, and well put together. I just wished they had created more sessions because I can only see/find one 30 min. session. I’ve been checking back here and there if they have done any updates to the app, but it’s been the same one session for years so not sure if they just stopped doing the sessions or they have a paid version now, which I honestly wouldn’t mind paying for. Excellent app.

  • Experienced Meditators, DO NOT waste 30 minutes on the guided meditation!

    I just downloaded the app and have only used it once, doing the guided meditation so I cannot speak to the other features as yet. My initial impression after exploring it and doing the one meditation leads me to suspect that I will not keep it, but I will give it the benefit of the doubt for now and test it again.

    HOWEVER, I do want to warn you that if you already have a meditation practice, I would advise you NOT to waste 30 minutes doing the included guided meditation. I was curious and so tried that for my 1st one, but it was a total waste of 30 minutes! Every time I began entering into silence, the man's voice would start talking again and pulled me up out of the meditation. Several times, it actually startled me pretty severely!

    For anyone completely new to meditation, "perhaps" it might be helpful, but for anyone with an existing practice, it definitely is NOT.

  • Very good app

    I downloaded this app recently so I have limited experience with it. I like the gongs both at the beginning and end of the sessions. I also like the ambient sounds. It is helpful to have the intermediate bells as well. They help me bring back my focus if I am drifting. I have noticed that when the intermediate bells ring the timer jumps and missed a second on the counter. Not sure what that is about, but it happens pretty consistently.

  • Simple, perfect tool

    Just a simple meditation timer. I like the gong sounds, as well as the background sound. You can choose to have either on or off, and you can adjust the volume of both the background and the gongs/bells. Just perfect.
