Missing a Couple of Things
I didn’t have the same issues that other users had, specifically the ending bell. I heard it, three times.
I’d buy this app but it’s lacking a couple of things I’d find useful: integration into the Health app’s Mindful Minutes; an alternate bell sound (I prefer a deeper tone); the ability to add time to your meditation, ie if I pass the 5 minute mark, the additional time gets added to the scheduled time.
You could also consider changing the icons or names; both apps appear as “Lotus Bud” on screen and in settings. That’s just bad UXD.

No Health app sync
Nice, but doesn’t sync with Health app to track your mindfulness minutes.
Good meditation timer
It's basic and what is needed if you feel like you need a special app to meditate.
It's got a good bell. Could use a couple updates. But it works.
Be better if there were a way to turn the 'journal' prompt off. Or even a delay to set before the beginning bell.
It isn't ugly and it doesn't try to sell you other stuff. It doesn't have any social networking crap. It beats setting the egg timer in the kitchen.
Worth a download.

2016 - update?
The bell doesn't sound to indicate the meditation time is completed.
Can't get it to work right with the Apple Watch
My previous review about the issues with the app working on Apple Watch turned out not to be because of the Lotus Bud app. Fixed the issue. The app works great.
