Immediately quits, having rebooted, reinstalled, etc. ### 2/5 — Subpar *2025-03-26* The sounds are very “digital” and cheap sounding. The volume levels of the presets are horribly low and required a lot of extra gain to even hear them. There are much better options out there. At this point, it’s a waste of money and this app should be free IMO. Pretty much unusable and none of the sounds are remotely pleasant. The design of the app is good enough though. Otherwise, I’d rate it 1 star. This app needs a TON of work to make it even potentially useful. It does not sound like Tibetan bowls at all. It sounds like a cheap toy “synth”. ### 4/5 — Good sounds, volume still needs work *2025-01-07* The sounds are what you would expect, which is great. But I also understand the other reviewer about the volume and it looks like there was just an update to address it. I’m finding there are only a couple presets that actually sound decently loud (my other pad is a synth, and Lofi). The others are still pretty low when everything is turned up max. Could still apply a gain filter but I’m not sure why there’s such difference between some of these. It seems like more gain could be added within the app. Only minor. ### 4/5 — some bugs… *update *2024-12-06* *update: the developer responded and is already about to release an update that will address the initial issues. He also has plans to develop further into what, I think, will be a very nice meditation app along with its sonic capabilities. The sounds are very nice, the app has some bugs that are getting ironed out, the developer is responsive, so I have hopes for this one… just turn the volume up as much as you can because it is very low right now ### 4/5 — some bugs *2024-11-16* the sounds are very nice, the app has some bugs that are getting ironed out, the developer is responsive, so I have hopes for this one… just turn the volume up as much as you can because it is very low right now ### 1/5 — no volume level! preset browser not working… midi not working… avoid this! *2024-11-11* something is wrong with this app, the audio level is so low you can hardly hear the sound, I tried everything, no matter if it is standalone or inside a DAW or AUM, the sound level is ridiculously low even with the volume all the way up, I added a +24db boost and is still low, also, the preset browser is not working… this should not have been released with these bugs imo. I will probably ask for a return if these issues are not fixed. The midi does not work either, there is no way to connect to an external sequencer either inside in AUM or standalone!! what?!? this is unusable! return… ## Frequently asked questions about healingBowl ### What devices does healingBowl support? healingBowl is available on iPhone, iPad, and iPod.
