Leave a Review Meditation Time 2.0
Has all I need
I love this timer. I've used a few. For me, the apps that keep track of every detail obsessively are the worst. I started with those apps which appealed to my ocd but I became more and more stressed over a few years comparing myself to others and worrying what they think. When I started meditating, again, a few years ago, I committed to doing any amount of meditating every day—no guilt. Even today, if I can only get even 10 or 15 minutes it counts. This app lets you set a timer, your choice of sounds, interval alerts, and ambience if you want any. Even how loud you want the ambience. It has everything you need without making it overly complicated. When you are ready to break out on your own, this is the app I would recommend.Show lessfusedshadow
Simple, useful, dependable
I use it daily. I just WISH they would add a more versatile interval control to it. I TRY to use it for focused breathing pattern. But being able to set an exact interval would be HUGE improvement. 30 or 45 second intervals allow you to develop breath depth and control. With 1:00 being the interval delta it’s impossible to use this app for that one purpose.Show lessNobleplatypus
Best meditation app I’ve found
I really appreciate how this app is set up it offers everything up front. No subscription to deal with, it is the true essence of mindfulness, not requiring anything but sometime and focus. I like how simple the app is with no tracks to sort through. It’s great for beginners and intermediates.
Brilliant.Show lessMettākopf
Simple to use; easy to love
A friend in Portugal re-introduced me to a more consistent meditation practice. She used a very basic app no longer available to me in the U.S. When I got home, I longed for an app like that - and this is it! Free, no ads, no pop-ups, no sign-ups... just the very basics, and it’s all I need. Love the interval timer; it’s what brings me back when my mind wanders off. Started with 20 minutes at night but now doing 30 minutes in the morning, afternoon and evening. And this app helped me get there. Thank you!!Show lessFLsheller
Generally good ... some flaws.
This app has a clean, simple and easy to use interface and it does its intended job well. BUT it has some weaknesses. It only allows for meditations up to 1.5 hours. (At one time I meditated for 2 hours at a time and might do so again at some time in the future.) It also only allows for evenly spaced interim time periods. Some mediations call for ten minutes of this and a half hour of that as it were. In short more flexibility and range would be appreciated.Show lessSnickshift
Almost
I really like most of how this app works, how it can be set up with different sounds for beginning/ending and for intervals and how simple it is to set. I also like that you can’t be interrupted by notification sounds when the timer is working. The one thing I wish is that I could play meditation music from another app while the timer was going. Unfortunately it cancels out /all/ sounds from other apps so it’s not possible without another device. Would love for this to be enabled in a future update.Show lesstriceno
Very nice
Only wish I could change the background. Also there seems to be only one session.
I’m not too peeved with the background but the session is bothering me. The app promises more but they never came. I was tempted to give the app 4 stars because of this. I downloaded this for the timer and it’s great for that! But I’d appreciate sorting out that session problem, maybe just removing the promise from the app. Or giving us a couple more sessions, or removing the guided meditation component to the app altogether. For such a good app it’s surprising to me that it has this problem.Show lessRustVel
Exactly what I was looking for
I've been meditating with guided meditations using another app and had gradually transitioned to unguided, but was frustrated by the expense of that app and looking to transition to a non-subscription based simple timer for unguided meditation. This app is perfect for my needs. I can adjust the time, the simple gong at the beginning and end of my meditation time are perfect - of course nothing sounds like the invitation of a live bell, but this fits my needs perfectly!Show lessMelissaKnits
Ambient sound function design is poor
The app is simple, functional. It could be excellent but the ambient sound operation is poorly done. I select a sound then go to main screen to press gong and the background sound shuts off. When I go back to look the sound I selected is deselected.
Better operation-
1. I select a ambient sound and it stays selected and operational until I select a different background or no background.
2. You could remove the ambient background on/off switch by having silence as one of the ambient sounds.
There would then always be a background of selected silence or rain, etc which would turn on and off with the meditation signal gong.
Also add more possible ambient sound tracks. Such as birds, crickets, etc that have been recorded from natural to remove repetitive “loop” sounds that can lead the mind to seek the pattern.Show lessWrjones
Love this app
I started to consistently meditate last week. After doing the starter guided meditation for 30 minutes my body pains were gone that day. I haven’t felt pain free for many, many, months. Having my own business and dealing with clients add stress. Although I workout, apparently, I was not releasing mental stress. I had pain everywhere and I do not like to take drugs; therefore, I just deal with it. Some days, I do yoga ad gentle stretches too. But still most days I’m in pain. I can’t believe the very first day I did the guided meditation my body was so relaxed. It seems to be the only thing to give me deep stress relievers. I love the ability to use the background sounds and can rely on the timer to go off with the gong sounds I choose. So I am meditating daily anywhere between 15-30 minutes a day. Thank you developers. I appreciate this app. Namaste.Show lessLCM2468
