Very happy with the simplicity and the sounds are great too! ### 4/5 — A nicely simple and useful app *2019-11-18, version 1.3.4* But even after upgrading to premium the adds still persist to be there. If you could only remove these adds It will be very much appreciated. Thank you ### 5/5 — Perfect zen *2019-06-20, version 1.3.4* Perfect for me love it thank you very much ### 5/5 — Perfect *2019-02-05* Absolutely perfect for yoga meditation ### 5/5 — Great for Autism Friends and More *2018-05-26, version 1.3.4* I teach yoga to all ages with intellectual and developmental disabilities and friends on the spectrum. I highly recommend this app for many things. While we use it for either Yoga or Meditation, it can also be used for writing and homework, calming in or after an anxious event, as a reward, timer, or even to go to sleep. It has interval options which you can choose by minute, and there are sounds which you can choose for that interval alert. There are about 8 lovely “songs” (hums, chants, flutes) you can choose or turn off entirely. Likewise, there are accent sounds which you can choose (birds, crickets, water, drums, bowls, etc) or turn off. Once you create your compilation, you go back to the main screen to choose the time you want your masterpiece to play. And it really is free! ### 5/5 — Great *2018-04-23, version 1.3.4* Really good app for meditation! Well done!!! ### 5/5 — Great app -- superb *2017-10-22, version 1.3.4* I use it daily for meditation. Simple interface, nice sounds. Thank you ### 4/5 — Simplicity *2017-08-30, version 1.3.4* Great app simple to use which it had Tibetan monk chants and binaural beats. ### 3/5 — Limited intervals *2017-08-23, version 1.3.4* I am looking for an interval timer to work throughout the day. The maximum interval time on this is 10 minutes, which is less than I want. It's probably a great app if you're looking for a simple meditation timer. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Beware *2026-05-21, version 3.7.0* I downloaded Zenify, a meditation timer. Now it updates as an “AI mental health companion.” ### 1/5 — Bait and Switch *2026-03-24, version 3.5.0* I downloaded Zenify, a meditation timer, and am now told I need to update to an AI mental health companion! ### 1/5 — What has happened *2023-03-14, version 2.5* After a few months away I went on Zenify which was Perfect Zen. Opened up to do a meditation and got ads for other apps. When I finally got to the doing your own meditation it is so hard to navigate that I just went with a programmed guide. Don’t think I’ll be using this app again ### 1/5 — More than one timer *2022-12-09, version 2.1* To begin, I already purchased this app when it was Zen app. The timer never goes off. It’s totally unreliable now. At one point Great app. But it really is disappointing. ### 1/5 — was better before recent update *2022-11-16, version 2.0.2* I really enjoyed layout before most recent update. ### 1/5 — DON’T UPDATE APP *2022-11-15, version 2.0.2* it’s not just a name change. Everything I loved about it is gone. I just wanted a simple bell/gong that I could have repeat in the background while the iPad was even asleep. No more. Very sad. ### 1/5 — Does what I need *2022-10-22, version 2.0* Update 10-22 They have changed it for the worse. Now you have to make a theme - with limited options of course - and the deal breaker is you have to pay for premium to change it. All I want is the bell to ring at the end of my 15 min meditation, with nothing in between. It used to be so simple and perfect, now it’s just a headache. I am sure there are other apps out there that can do this simple task. 2021 This app has lots of features, I like that I can set the bell to ring in intervals - during a 20 min session it will ring half way - so I know how I am doing. The inspirational daily quotes are always a nice surprise when I see them pop up on my screen. ### 1/5 — Acupressure *2022-10-07, version 1.3.4* So easy to use. Great sound options if desired. I use daily to hold my routine of acupressure points to start the daily off right.support is there if needed. All around a great FREE app with no intrusive anything. Thank you Perfect Zen. ### 1/5 — Perfect *2020-05-17, version 1.3.4* This is a perfect timer for yoga. It plays different Melodi’s or none. Set is for the length of time and the. How many minutes you want to hold the pose. I have mine to DONG every 4 min for Yin Yoga. Absolutely love this app! 👍 ### 3/5 — Great simple meditation app! *2020-09-01, version 1.3.4* I wish the time limit could be more than just 90 minutes, I want the time frame to be infinite... I just want to listen to the music in a loop and not turn off. Please update the app to allow infinite time or at least 8 or 12 hours meditation time. Thank you! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good *2023-05-16, version 2.5* Nice app ### 5/5 — Perfect for meditation *2022-06-25, version 1.3.4* After trying a few different timers, this one is my favourite. Very simple to use, a nice range of sounds and allows for interval bells. Also it works with my phone locked which is essential for me. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Really nice program *2022-06-23, version 1.3.4* This program helps you immensely to bring back your thoughts to your breath with the interval bell really nice program ### 5/5 — Perfect *2022-05-17, version 1.3.4* Perfect app to carry out relaxation. Simple to set up and use. The sounds are good to encourage my relaxation ### 5/5 — Perfect and simple *2022-04-12, version 1.3.4* Does everything I need and nothing more. ### 5/5 — Use your own music library! *2022-02-17, version 1.3.4* A very useful meditation app with the basic necessities. And it works with the screen off which is very rear. No payments or ads. I’m very grateful. The meditation time and intervals could be much longer for the heavy weights, Otherwise perfect. ### 5/5 — Great app, easy to use *2022-01-01, version 1.3.4* Gives options but remains user friendly and isn’t glitchy ### 5/5 — Perfect Practice Intervals. *2021-11-08, version 1.3.4* I needed a simple app so set intervals to move through breath work, kriya and mantra. This is perfect. No more looking at my phone to see where I am. Just a sweet little bell to move me from phase to phase. ### 5/5 — Wonderful meditation app *2021-06-30, version 1.3.4* I love the simplicity of this app. Those of us who have been practicing meditation for a while don’t really need a voice giving us instructions, just the lovely background sounds. I’m fortunate to have an apartment balcony that faces west. I meditate most evenings as the sun goes down, listening to the Native American Elders and the sound of water. ### 5/5 — Perfect *2021-03-12, version 1.3.4* There isn’t anything extra to bog it down. It’s perfectly simple and exactly what I needed. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
