### 4/5 — Great App

*2022-08-31*

I just needed a straightforward simple chakra timer app and this is it. Slightly awkward in changing the meditation duration, but so far so good.

### 3/5 — Good app but funky timer

*2022-07-31*

I’ve enjoyed this simple app for a number of years, but sometimes the timer stops 5-10 minutes into a sit. Seems like it might be when I have the iPhone plugged in but it’s a random problem.

### 4/5 — Great app, found one bug

*2022-02-14*

App is great, minimalist, to the point, great quotes thrown in, the full spectrum of visible colors as the background and a few different sounds. You can play the sound by taping on it that’s nice. The only glitch I found after using it for years- the sound doesn’t play sometimes when the phone is on mute. It only happens sometimes and I don’t know why.
The app works great otherwise, just exactly what I need.

### 2/5 — Not as good as Chakra clock,

*2021-06-20, version 2.2*

I can’t get multiple meditation times with different sounds like I could in chakra clock. :( in the previous version of chakra clock, I could run different sounds every 5 mins. I can’t do that with this update.

### 4/5 — How do you get journal to record the year???

*2021-06-07, version 2.2*

One of the minor flaws of this app!

### 2/5 — Chime hurts

*2020-12-15*

I’ve attempted to change the tone, but the settings don’t seem to stick. The tonal quality of the chime makes my sinuses hurt.
I need something different... I’ll be deleting this app.

### 4/5 — SoundsarePerfect

*2018-09-19*

I love chanting OHM for my meditation for 10 or more minutes before I go into the silence. The OHM voice is perfect for my ears except that I can’t keep it playing. I would love if this feature could be added to the timer-an on/off button for auto play of OHM for a specified time within the set timer or to just keep playing for the time set. This feature would be so awesome. COULD YOU PLEASE FEATURE UP THAT SOUNDS CAN REPEAt as an on/off button during timer set. Thanks

### 2/5 — Loved this app but no longer do...

*2017-09-05, version 2.0.1*

UPDATE: 
The alarm/ call to mediate no longer functions. You can also no longer change sound options. I would love to get a reply about this but there seems to be no support so I am revising my rating to 2 stars. 
If it functioned better I would definitely purchase the app or make a donation but as it is it is not useful to me.

### 4/5 — Like

*2017-08-03, version 2.0.1*

This seems to be a nice app to far. Time timer could be adjustable, to you could set it to play for 5 minutes or 5 hrs. Still feeling it out!

### 2/5 — Emotional Intuitive

*2016-09-14*

This app was a bit disappointing. It doesn't offer very much at all besides a chime, which sounds very nice, but there's only one. There should be a chime sound frequency designed for each chakra. Plus there's a constant request for donations. If this app were created from a mind set of truly wanting to help and serve humanity it would do so and the natural laws of the Universe would apply creating great success and abundance for the app itself. In addition, people, truly being helped by this would be offering donations unsolicited. It almost feels as if it was made with good intentions, yet more so to make money rather than help rise the consciousness of humanity. Thank you. Michael.

### 4/5 — Nice little app

*2015-10-07, version 1.9.3*

I like it. Chime works well and I like the journal part too.

### 2/5 — Eh

*2015-08-17, version 1.9.3*

It was a decent app until the chime stopped going by off at the time I set it for.

### 4/5 — Good idea were getting closer :-)

*2015-04-28, version 1.9.3*

Not bad because it's free should read about chakra and the lords prayer very interesting subject this, the idea of the Egyptian ankh

### 1/5 — Besoin d’être amélioré

*2023-05-02, version 2.2*

Manque de choix de sons etc et de conception et les images sont désuètes MERCI

### 1/5 — Paid for upgrade

*2020-04-01*

Reloaded the app, paid for upgrade, but only get the chimes sound. Very disappointing. Hope someone can guide me to how to get this simple app to work.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2019-08-02*

Why can’t I get the sound to change from the chime to the bowl. I purchased the extra sounds and still I only am able to access the chimes.

### 1/5 — Terrible change

*2018-09-13*

Volume control doesn’t work anymore

### 1/5 — Unable to hear the sound

*2018-08-06*

I have the app on a timer to run for an hour. It chimes and then stops for at least a minute or more. During that pause, there is no residual chime of the Tibetan bowl. No sound between next chime. It’s not enough and long chime for mediation

### 1/5 — Awful app

*2016-08-01, version 2.0.1*

This app is very complicated not enough information about how to set the settings also the banner with the inspirational writings don't work and this app is constantly asking for donations and you do not get any of what the app office and it's very confusing awful help system as well

### 1/5 — Freezes my phone!!

*2015-09-04, version 1.9.3*

I used this and it was fine for the past year and now not only does it crash but it totally freezes my phone

### 1/5 — Crashing and freezing

*2015-08-28, version 1.9.3*

I enjoyed this app until recently when it it started greed out the screen and will not let me change the time on the count down timer.

### 1/5 — Damage app

*2015-02-05, version 1.9.2*

Some time ago I wrote to the app creator to complain about my chime being broken and I haven't received a reply. My OM sounds like the Cloud so I have two Clouds and no Om. The Om is very important to me and I'd like to know whether I could download it again without having to pay.  For that reason I am giving it a low rating. When they fix my problem I will change the rating.

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2014-09-03, version 1.9.1*

I bought this app as I find the free version good. However I cannot get rid of the adverts, it does not allow the download of any Sunday other than the chime, I have reinstalled it and number of times and still it does not work, The creator is good no contact details to send feedback or answer questions. I have not had to buy another Meditation app which is disappointing.

### 5/5 — I feel it in my brain.

*2023-03-19*

The resonation of these sounds are real.

### 5/5 — Chimer for meditation

*2022-11-13*

I enjoy this timer. No fuss and bother just a simple companion within my meditation practice. Faithful and I live the sound at the beginning and end of my time. Thank you. 🌺👣🌺

### 5/5 — Much use

*2020-01-29*

This app has been much-used over the years. It’s simple, easy, effective for the purpose. Start and/or end meditation with a sound, have a custom meditation reminder, write a brief journal entry. Nicely done.

### 5/5 — I love, love, love Chakra Chime!

*2018-01-05*

I can’t tell you how many friends have been surprised when my phone Oms. It’s the best! I wish it was a ringtone too!

### 5/5 — Great App

*2016-06-23, version 2.0.1*

I used this app for 2 months, and every day at 3pm my bowl rings out. It has become an important part of my day when I hear that tone - it makes me slow down for a moment and reclaim my peace of mind.

UPDATE: I've been using this app for years now. I still love it! It helps to make you stop and breathe in the middle of a long workday.

### 5/5 — Simple, beautiful and functional

*2016-02-13, version 2.0.0*

I have used this app for around three years, and still enjoy using it. I really like the inspirational quotations and the choice of sounds. I recommend 100%, and I have had nothing to do with making this app and do not know the designers. I just really wanted to share with everyone what a great app it is.

### 5/5 — Wonderfully sweet

*2016-02-03, version 1.9.3*

I really like this app. It gives pleasure. I don't (yet) meditate or perform correct yoga, but I got this app for my muscle stretching. The fellow (or girl) who wrote this app did so with sympathy and compassion and it really shows. The thoughts and inspirational sayings that pop-up always make me smile. I refuse to disable the ads because hey, we all need to make a living, and who knows I may click one and buy something. If I could give six out of five stars I would.

### 5/5 — My Fav

*2015-12-13, version 1.9.3*

I love this simple timer which I've had on iPad for nearly 3 yrs. For silent meditation vs. guided. Beautiful screen with changing colors and occas. inspiring phrases keep me on track. Tried others, too busy for me. Journal site a plus. Just enuf choices. Optional weekly blogs have been wise +inspiring by Kevin Goodman.

### 5/5 — ?

*2015-01-02, version 1.9.2*

Works well, is nice. Turn off web connection in your device settings to be rid of ads

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2014-12-03, version 1.9.2*

I fall asleep to this app ~Drew
