Wonderful app

I use the meditations and yoga practices daily and there is always something that meets what I need.

This time the meditation habit stuck!

I have been trying to get into meditation and mindfulness for years. I am a recent-grad clinical psychologist and throughout my training, I learned about how beneficial it is for mental health. I knew all of the logic behind it but found I struggled to actually build a practice in my life. Insight Timer has actually built that practice. The variety of teachers, guides, talks and other content is impressive. The app has replaced about three others I had been using as it combines journaling, habit tracking, intention setting, offers music and mindfulness practices, even yoga!

I am usually wary of apps that have a subscription model but you can actually continue using the app for free with access to so many features. I’ve recommended the app already to several of my clients, and am hoping to further explore the therapist tools and subscription as I further build my own practice.

My daily

I have been using Insight Timer for years. For many years I just used the free app and there are literally hundreds of thousands of meditations that are wonderful. A few years ago I decided to go with the annual paid subscription, and I love it! Absolutely the best $60 I spend on myself!

Love it!

There are so many wonderful meditations in this app as well as nature background misuses. Very calming and so many options to choose from you are bound to find something you like.

mais completo e democrático app de meditação

Eu amo o insight timer, já uso há mais de 10 anos e sou apaixonada por ele. Tudo que preciso para melhorar meu hábito de meditar, eu encontro aqui. Tem em diversas línguas, inclusive o português. Amo todas as funcionalidades!! A única ressalva que tenho é que com essa nova atualização há uma demora maior para finalizar a meditação, o que acho uma experiência ruim comparado com anteriormente, o qual era mais rápido. Mas no geral, eu sou muito satisfeita com o app e sou grata por toda a equipe por trás que continua oferencendo muitas funcionalidades gratuitas para quem não pode pagar. Gratidão!

Wonderful!

Insight timer has the ability to change your life, it certainly has mine. I am very grateful for this app

Lots of room for improvement

I’ve been a paid subscriber for several years and this is my take. The app offers plenty of meditation options. It also has a lot of material that is more directed towards therapy instead of actual meditation. The way that everything is laid out can be confusing and difficult to navigate resulting in time wasted. When they change their format they don’t notify you so you have to figure out where everything went on your own and that can be frustrating especially if you’re an early morning meditator with time constraints. It has some really good features but equally has some very frustrating issues that they don’t seem to know how to address. Customer service is very “nice” but rarely helpful. Be prepared to fix whatever comes up yourself if you choose them.

My go to app

This app works well with my meditations and practices that I’ll like to thread together. I am hoping that it will be able to link the times of my different practices into 1 long set with different times. I hope it won’t get to cluttered with option and suggestions.

Excellent!

The app is simple, but it really has done the trick for me. I’m now several years into a surprisingly consistent streak of meditating daily. And the benefits are undeniable.

Mostly good

I like the timer and settings quite a bit. The brass bowl tones are wonderful. I’ve done some guided meditations. Also that are good. However, I’m pretty turned off by the comments that I get when I don’t reach my goals/commitments. They feel a bit judgmental and I would preferred to either not receive them or see them reframed in more positive encouraging language.

All time favourite

Absolutely an all-time favourite meditation app.. been using this app since almost 6 years now, and nothing has come closer to being good enough as this app. The library is so big and the teachers come from across the globe. It is just beautiful.

Fave App

When I left my phone at work, I was most upset because I wouldn’t have access to the meditations, music, reiki, tapping & other modalities available on Insight Timer! It has become such an important part of my daily life - and my soul has flourished with it!!!! Thank you so much, Insight Timer. Continue to light up our world!

Best app for positive mindset development

Best app for positive mindset development I have found so far realistic value and options to find a speakers that suit outlook on life to further my mental and inner development.

Amazing App

I’ve been an Insight Timer user for years now. The premium plan is so affordable for what you have access to. Amazing meditations, binaural, music, reiki, etc. AND courses galore. There are live streams with teachers and I just can’t express how much Insight Timer makes my life better. Thank you!

Find exactly what you need in this versatile app.

Forcing video into my mindfulness practice? Absolutely not.

As someone who works in media, I’m keenly aware of how insidious the “pivot to video” creep has become. My favorite meditation app was the last place I expected it to show up.

I’ve been a dedicated Insight Timer user for over a decade. It’s where I go to unplug, ground myself and literally *close my eyes.* What’s kept me loyal to IT is how calming and low-stimulation the user experience is — it used to be so simple and practical, like the Reddit of meditation apps. I loved that it never really changed. So waking up one morning to find a carousel of *meditation videos* (who is asking for these, seriously?) suddenly featured at the top of the home screen, with no way to turn the feature off, feels manipulative and totally inconsistent with the app’s original purpose. Seeing so many faces staring back at me (with sleek, professional lighting and backgrounds) when I’ve opened the app specifically to get away from that vibe grosses me out, like self-improvement is being TikTokified.

Miss me with this redesign. If there truly is a demand for video content in this space (which I find hard to fathom), there are ways to meet it without forcing the rest of us to go down the scroll hole with you. I’m taking my meditation practice elsewhere, and I hope everyone serious about their practice does too.
