### 4/5 — Simple meditation app

*2026-07-06*

I’ve tried at least five different meditation apps. And this simple meditation timer is the best by far especially if you want no frills. The only thing I would add is the ability to  change light/dark mode.

### 5/5 — Simply the best meditation app

*2026-05-16, version 8.3.1*

I tried like 5 of the top meditation apps and this one is by far the simplest and most straightforward. It’s lowkey a gem.

### 5/5 — Great for meditation

*2026-05-07*

A masterclass in minimalist design. I love the new calendar feature for tracking my journey and the fact that the timer allows for open-ended sessions if I want to extend my practice. It’s elegant, functional, and has quickly become a non-negotiable part of my daily planning.

### 5/5 — GOOD

*2026-04-21*

視覚的にも癒されるカラーで曼荼羅がとても心地良いです。

### 5/5 — Calm & Simple 🌿

*2026-04-21*

Really peaceful and easy to use. The interface is clean and the meditation experience feels calming and focused. Definitely helps me relax and stay consistent. Loved it! ✨

### 1/5 — My review

*2026-04-04, version 8.2.2*

It sucks because you have to pay money 
And it’s a bad app

### 1/5 — Won’t let you do anything unless you pay for it

*2026-03-31, version 8.2.2*

What’s the point of making the app free when you can’t do anything until you cough up money to even do anything

### 1/5 — Paid timer

*2025-12-29, version 8.2*

I don’t have an issue with paying for apps which are useful, what I don’t like it apps pretending like they’re free and then needing users to pay to use. Why make me download the app.

### 1/5 — No Support

*2025-12-18*

★☆☆☆☆ Very Disappointed – App No Longer Works Properly
I paid for this app expecting reliable performance and proper support, but it’s gone downhill ever since the cloud sync feature was added. The Meditate app no longer works the way it used to, and the cloud sync now causes massive battery drain. I’ve contacted Huu three times, and six months later there is still no fix. The so-called “workaround” they offered actually made things worse. It’s extremely frustrating to see an app that was once genuinely helpful become unreliable and poorly supported. This now feels like money wasted.

### 5/5 — Blissfully Simple

*2025-10-18, version 8.2*

All apps need to follow this model.
