## Most critical reviews (5 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — How does it actually work?

*2019-12-08*

The developer must have written the first review. Sorry, but I can’t see how the app works. You open it up and your screen goes dark. There’s no menu (that I could see) and I’m really not sure how it works. I’ve deleted it off my phone again.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t seem to work

*2019-08-09*

Screen goes black and there’s no way to turn off timer, if needed.

### 2/5 — Not sure about this

*2020-07-14*

The timer doesn’t seem to work on the lock screen. The sound would be nice if the weird sci-fi beep things weren’t there at the end. The freestyle option is nice though

### 5/5 — Elegant

*2020-11-22*

Like the sound of the GONG, this App does what I want it to do.  Here is my Zen user manual:

A. Changing the time period requires you to swipe up or down on the hours and or minute boxes.

B. You then choose either:

1. Mediate:
Sets a period of time before the GONG sounds.

or

2. Freestyle:
Starts the timer and you stop it when you tap the screen to get the sound of the GONG!

==> Yes, the “wooden” screen goes dark when it is “timing” but there are NO DISTRACTIONS.

Wishlist:
1. Choice of different GONGS
2. Setting multiple periods before beginning!

### 5/5 — Simple and effective

*2020-01-07*

All you need
