Democratising well being

I love the app supports practitioners and those who need support with accessible and free options. It had been such a support and loved the huge variety of offerings. Thank you so much for providing this

My new best friend!

Love how its interface is gentle and lets you get there on your own pace. Helpful with all kinds of meditation and wellbeing.

Wish I could turn off questions on startup

I like the functionality and the offerings from this app. The tracks and meditations are amazing and I always find what I need. But I hardly ever get to those offerings because every time I open the app, it treats me like a new user and asks me my goals and what I’m looking for. It’s incredibly user-UNfriendly and means I don’t use this app much, especially when I’m dysregulated and really need it.

Thoughtful

I feel the community but it’s also an intimate moment I may not have been able to create on my own and stay consistent

Amazing!

I started this 2.5 years ago. This has been such a positive part of my life. I recommend this daily to family and friends. I use this when I put my granddaughter down for a nap or for the evening. Grateful that this is available for everyone. Namesta.

Pretty, annoying

The new direction is better aesthetically, but it’s often quite annoying — constantly making me tap through multiple screens, logging me out, etc. It’s often an unpleasant experience

search is hopelessly broken

the search feature is nearly useless. search for a term, say, "stoicism," for example, and +1000 results will show in number. Add a filter and the number drops impossibly low, and seemingly randomly, depending on when you search. I searched the term "stoicism" a few moments ago and returned the +1000 results, filtered to 16-30 minutes, and the return was 8. I filtered by "talks" and returned only 51 results, and can only view 18 of them to choose from. Scrolling through +1000 results is not the meditative practice I was looking for, however, I am indeed, putting stoicism into practice and taking this in stride. This is not in my control, however, I may possibly influence it. Enough time spent on that.

Perfect balance of options

I’ve used many apps over the past year and this one offers the perfect balance of meditation support, music, subliminals and instruction. I’ve now recommended it to everyone I care about.

This app saved my life in 2020

During Covid , a customer at my job at the time said hang on ! My insight timer meditation is going off.. I asked him, what is insight timer? And the rest is history. I have mad amazing friends all over
The world and with June B. This app has made me a better and smarter person. I went to my first live sound bath last year, which was offered free in the building I work in.

I love this app

I love the diversity of this app, how it can help with so many things and it’s been the only thing that’s helped me to fall asleep much quicker.

You have to pay to rewind?

I really do like the app. I suggest it to people all the time because you really can do a lot without having to pay. But I recently started watching the FREE video courses and tried to rewind 30 seconds and it prompted me with a “plus” feature notification. Bro I’m just trying to check what the person said 30 seconds ago, but I have to pay for that or restart the entire clip? I guess it costs the app a lot of money to cover that basic feature. What a joke.

Faithful Friend

This app has been with me for years and I cannot suggest it highly enough (although I try!). If you need a quick reset and a lovely beadtime story you will find it here. The Advanced courses are phenomenal and the I so appreciate that I can make a love offering to the teachers. 🩵

Incredible free library

This app is an amazing resource, there are so many meditations available from so many teachers around the world, that you will find ones that suit you and what you need. Theres also timers, music, live events. If you can afford it the subscription gives you useful extra functionality and more tracks, but the free version still has thousands of tracks available and you never feel like they are trying to hook you into paying. I have been using IT for almost ten years now I believe and it has been a godsend.

Getting Way Too Invasive

Used to love this App. Has a lot of great teachers, etc. Be sure to read the latest updates to their Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. I just wanted to meditate, not give you my first born to sell things to, etc. Bye! PS Agree with others who say you have to go through to many hoops with the App asking about streaks, suggestions when you just want to finish the meditation and quickly exit the App, etc.

Best app

Such a wide range of free, quality content. I love the option to have a widget to track my meditation streak. I could not be happier.

Best meditation App around

Has the best selection of free resources and can help you to find the slice of meditation that you arre looking for.

A lot of free, helpful, quality content

So far, I have been able to find helpful content in whatever I have searched for. I had a paid subscription, but got out of the practice of using it. I have gone back to it, and I am using the free content. If I continue, I may get the paid subscription again. It’s definitely worth it if you will use it.

Where did the original Insight Timer go?

App needs to be simplified. Less questions and algorithm tactics.

Very comprehensive meditation app

Great collection of meditation practices.
