A decade of appreciation
I have been using this app for nearly 10 years and it truly brings tears to my eyes for how grateful I am of its presence. It has been a refuge and saving grace in my hardest times. There is so much I respect about this app. First and foremost, it has always been and continues to be accessible to anyone around the world. That simple core value speaks volumes in a world of paywalls. Anyone, at any time, can seek solace here without barriers. Second, you will always find an infinite amount of options for styles of meditation, lessons, music, etc. Any theme you may be looking for, it’ll be there. You’ll find teachers you love and come back to like an old friend time and again. And you’ll meet wonderful new ones anytime you’d like. Third and lastly, the timer was the core essence of this app long ago and still remains such a simple and perfect meditation tool. Even if you just use this, it’s a treasure. I highly recommend this beautiful and generous app for anyone at any stage in the meditation or healing journey - you’ll find a sacred home and community here, always ready to welcome you with such tender care. 🤍

It’s gone downhill
Insight timer used to be my favorite meditation app and I recommended it to all my yoga students. I stopped using it because the interface changed a lot and felt too cluttered and less simplistic. But today I went back because I missed one of my favorite teachers. The app made me click through AT LEAST twenty pages of spam before I could get to the meditation home screen. Questions about why I stopped meditating, why I came back, what my goal is, am I ready to make a commitment, what time am i going to meditate every day, pages upon pages and absolutely no option to opt out. Then I got to the advertisements and that was another 5 pages. By the time I got to the home screen, I was so fed up with modern technology and capitalistic, constant-striving culture that I no longer felt like using the app anymore and I downloaded one that feels more aligned with what meditation is about.

Daily user
I love everything about this app. I use it daily (sometimes multiple times). My one complaint is there is no way to filter out the ones you’ve already listened to under each teacher. I wish there was a way to toggle off items you’ve already listened to.

Works great. Love using it to hold yoga positions.
I hate the interactive set up
It makes me not want to use this app anymore. I have paid for premium for years and I liked it. But now you use some dumb set of questions when I open the app- I have enough time to do the meditation I opened I don’t want questions I am not interested in improving your app-
