Stop the Slop!

This app ysed to be amazing for logging into and having a quick and easy way to listen to a lesson or have a relaxing soundtrack. Now you’re assulted by barrage of forced notification setting and goal setting. Please just let us log in and use the app without turning it into rocket science. It’s an embarrassment what this app has become.

Yes, please!

Absolutely love Insight Timer. Life changing. 🙏🏽

User experience is terrible now

I have used this app for several years at my leisure. However lately I’m very discouraged to open the app when it’s been a little while because I’m hit with a ~10 question long survey that’s trying to manipulate me into using the app more. When I open this app- it’s to meditate. Typically during times of anxiety or insomnia. I cannot tell you how disturbing it is to have to jump through these hoops to use the app. It feels as though “I owe you my answers to continue” especially since there is no option to bypass this. I’m very close to deleting and will also be leaving a review on the App Store about these unfortunate changes.

basic features locked behind a paywall

Have trouble focusing ? dont use this app to meditate. you have to pay to rewind. if you lose your lose your train of thought for a few seconds - you have to restart the entire meditation if you want to follow along properly.

Used to be great

This app used to be my favorite app for my daily meditation practice. Unfortunately, this year they have moved away from a focus on audio meditation and sound tracks along with courses to choose from to a focus on video and live presentations. I came here to escape the noise of social media and am sad to see this app going the direction of those I tried to escape. Very disappointed.

Like having a friend who can solve your problem ❤️

What a beautiful app, free content everyone can easily use, always there when you need help 10/10

Great app

Love all the free resources in here and such a wide variety of tracks.

Meditation app pushing new VIDEO features

Can’t turn off the video features. Why would anyone want to watch videos in a meditation app??? Isn’t the point to get off your phone and meditate? why does every app need VIDEOS now. Also why is the share button so obnoxiously large under the play button? Excellent sleep music by Darren J Benjamin though. This track is the only reason I keep on this app.

OMG, the nagging

Aside from making my iPhone 17 Pro run hot when streaming sessions, the app cannot stop nagging you about paid and ongoing programs, installing its widget, and ratings. Seriously this is not very zen way to approach your users. And seems to want a lot of data; at least it doesn’t track tho. Has a great collection of Meditaions though.

Great fit for learning consistently

Great selection. Easy way to remind yourself to practice every day.

It’s more than a timer

I really enjoy using Insight Timer. I use it to access all sorts of activities and it’s great to have it here available. Thanks to all the teachers for uploading your free videos. I hope you know that you are helping lots of people.

Fabulous

So happy I found the Insight Timer app. Full of beautiful content in all areas of self love and discovery!

Excelente

Só medito com esse aplicativo, a versão gratuita tem tudo o que a gente precisa para estar no aqui e agora. É uma ferramenta extremamente útil à humanidade 🫶🏼

Great meditation app

Easy to use. So many options. You can easily come back to the meditations that work for you. I use daily.

cancelling my subscription

insight app used to be my gold standard meditation app, but every update makes it less like a meditation app and more like a social media platform. Ever since they added the video feature, when you open the app instead of calming images, you now get awful aggressively extroverted self-promoting headshots. This engagement attempt visually jarring and I’m using this app less and less because I can’t stand opening it and seeing these thumbnails anymore. There is no option to disable the video thumbs (and video feature) or customise the layout. It’s also poor taste and off-putting to demand a rating from paid subscribers and suggest tips immediately afterwards. All of these behaviours are counterintuitive to meditation.
