When I click settings it brings me to my iTunes but even if I pick a song from there the music doesn’t play. I like the chimes and directions but would like the full experience with music choices or suggestions in the app. ### 3/5 — Was great, but now no sound *2024-03-13* I loved this app because it made it so easy to practice Kieran Kriya without paying attention to the time during meditation. Now the sound no longer works. I have restarted my phone a few times, removed and reinstalled the app, but the sound no longer works. When I click on settings, the app crashes. A real shame, I would be happy if there was an update! ### 1/5 — Music? *2018-01-08* I thought they would offer music choices with paid app but you choose from your own music library - if you have one. If you don’t have Apple Music get the free app. It’s the same. ### 1/5 — Vibration option does not work on I Phone 7. I am Deaf and need vibration as timing. *2017-04-16* Vibration does not work on I Phone 7. ### 1/5 — Music still doesn't play *2017-03-04* I purchased this app twice. Remove the free one and paid again and downloaded the paid one again. Music still doesn't play. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2016-06-08, version 1.9* Don't bother buying this expensive app. It does nothing to help your meditation practice. Get a Kirtan Kria music cd instead. ### 1/5 — Move on *2015-03-07* Chimes and vibrations are inconsistent. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. It also tends to freeze in the middle of the meditation and so I have no idea how long I have been at it. Then it didn't start up and I had to reset. So now I'm peeking every couple of minutes to see where I'm at which defeats the purpose - can't really let go since I don't trust the timers. Have had better luck with the Stress Reduction Meditation app (designed for Sa Ta Na Na.) Bummer because this is a great idea. Oh well. ### 1/5 — Bells don't ring :( *2015-01-10* Nice when it works but that's only 1 in 5 times. Bells don't ring. How hard could that be? ### 1/5 — Does not chime on time *2015-01-04* Disappointing waste of money. Timer and music features don't work. ### 5/5 — Perfectly Simple *2014-03-12, version 1.2* I was struggling with finding a way to time Kirtan Kriya and had struggled with timing apps which didn't quite do what I needed. Eventually I came across this app which is perfect for what I wanted - times are sounded by an unobtrusive gong so you know when to change. Instructions are simple and easy to understand. I can't imagine completing 2.5 hours but maybe one day! Excellent app for this wonderful meditation _/\_ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Useless *2025-09-21, version 1.9* it has no sound, no bell, no instruction, and the settings button crashes the app. Useless ### 1/5 — Cannot open Settings *2025-06-30, version 1.9* I’ve used a similar kirtan app from this designer over the years on my iPod and it’s good with a lot of flexibility. So I decided to download this one onto my phone with the same expectation. Unfortunately the Settings feature does not work so cannot change or view the settings on the app. Unable to contact the app designer for support, the link goes to a blank page. This issue needs to be addressed ASAP. ### 1/5 — No sound *2024-11-15* Probably because the application is nine years old, it does not produce any sound on a modern iPhone, which makes it unusable. ### 1/5 — Kirtan Kryra timer *2024-02-04, version 1.9* I don’t understand this timer. It’s terrible. Please update to include music or at least a sound when the actions are to chance How can anyone meditate and not have some indication as to when to change the chanting ????? ### 1/5 — No music *2024-01-22* App doesn’t let you upload music. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2022-01-28, version 1.9* I downloaded this as it says you can add music.. I’ve tried .. it won’t play music.. you can’t add music.. disappointed.. waste of money.. grrr ### 1/5 — I should have read the reviews *2021-04-02* Terrible app. At first I thought “so I have to keep my eyes open to watch the timer?”, then I saw in the settings that I could set the chimer, but that didn’t work. What a dud. ### 1/5 — Needs fixing *2020-06-18, version 1.9* App won’t allow user to access music. ### 1/5 — Music doesn’t work *2018-12-15* I bought this hoping it would add the sa tan a ma chant but it didn’t. The only music choice it gives is for you to pick music from your iTunes. So I tried this option and it still doesn’t play music. I feel misled. The free app is the same as the paid one. ### 1/5 — Poorly designed *2018-03-08* Poor design ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great! *2023-02-15, version 1.9* Simple and easy to use. The bell is just right. ### 5/5 — So simple *2021-05-13, version 1.9* This app is so simple and so perfect. If you want to practise Kirtan Kriya meditation… open the app, press start and you are off. It’s as easy as that, could not be better. ### 5/5 — Great Timer *2021-01-01* I’ve been using this app to signal me to go from aloud to whisper to silent to whisper to aloud for years. It’s has never failed me to time this meditation perfectly. ### 5/5 — Timer Friendly *2017-04-11* This app helps do the Kriya without having to worry about the time duration for each part of the Kriya. Thank you for creating this app. It very helpful. ### 5/5 — Great app!! *2015-09-11* I really like this app and recommend it highly to others. I would only add one feature which would be more benefits information about the Kriya for easy reminder to people practicing it. ### 5/5 — Love it!!!!!! *2015-08-24* I wanted to do kirtan kriya and wondered how I would keep the time. Who knew there was a kirtan kriya timer sitting there waiting to be used?! It works great and I am grateful. ### 5/5 — Love this App! *2015-04-14* I Have an iPhone 4 and it works great! Thank you ### 5/5 — Exactly what I was looking for. *2014-11-10* Beginner to Kitran Kriya and wanted something simple to help along my 11-minute practice. Chimes when it's time to switch. Easy. No fuss. ### 5/5 — Nice and helpful *2014-07-15* I have been using this app for a week now to time my Kirtan Kriya meditations. I like it! It is much better than trying to use a simple timer or trying to keep an eye on a clock. A pleasant chime indicates the beginning and end of each sequence. The volume of the chime can be adjusted, and I found that a lower volume was best for me. Several meditation sequences are provided of different lengths. A helpful and convenient way to time this particular meditation! ### 5/5 — Thank you Olga! This app rocks!!! *2014-04-19* Thank you so much for creating this app, Olga. It is amazing. It is perfect for Kirtan Kriya whether in class, at home, or with clients. A great invention!!!
