Nice Timer that keeps improving over time ### 4/5 — Does what I want with one caveat *2024-06-16, version 6.0* I was looking for a simple meditation app that is easy to set up different times with intervals and some sound options and this is great for that. My caveat is that when I uploaded my own photos to be used as backgrounds, I could not find a way to easily size them to fit the app screen properly. As a result, after I saved them, the images were way too big for the app screen space provided, unlike the images that come with the app. It would be nice if uploaded images could be easily adjusted in the app to fit the app display screen. ### 4/5 — Music *2024-03-12, version 6.0* It would be nice if it had music as well. Otherwise I love it 😊 ### 5/5 — Meditation Timer *2024-01-16, version 6.0* My favorite ### 5/5 — Best Meditation App for Experienced Meditators! *2024-01-11, version 6.0* Perfect, I’ve tried a half dozen apps, they were all lacking. This keeps track of your time put in on a daily basis. Increase a minute a day... after meditating daily for over 40 years I heartily recommend this app. ### 5/5 — Very Nice! *2024-01-11, version 6.0* This is a great meditation timer! My favorite! ### 5/5 — meditation timer *2024-01-11* I love this app! I use it for 4 or 5 different meditations and yoga postures and really appreciate that I can very easily choose varied interval times, beginning, ending & interval sounds and have a record of every procedure I perform. I use this timer in a bi-monthly meditation group and the other participants love the Tibetan bell chime. I strongly recommend the pro version to eliminate unwanted advertisements. ### 5/5 — Best Meditation App for Experienced Meditators! *2023-10-06* Perfect, I’ve tried a half dozen apps, they were all lacking. This keeps track of your time put in on a daily basis. Increase a minute a day... after meditating daily for over 40 years I heartily recommend this app. ### 5/5 — Great help *2023-09-05, version 5.0* So versatile. I use this every day. ### 5/5 — meditation timer *2023-05-09* I love this app! I use it for 4 or 5 different meditations and yoga postures and really appreciate that I can very easily choose varied interval times, beginning, ending & interval sounds and have a record of every procedure I perform. I use this timer in a bi-monthly meditation group and the other participants love the Tibetan bell chime. I strongly recommend the pro version to eliminate unwanted advertisements. ### 5/5 — Perfect for my needs! *2023-04-20, version 5.0* This timer is simple and easy to use. It is very basic and if you just want gentle reminders about the passage of time as you meditate, you can set it up to let you know when you’re halfway through or have 5 minutes left or whatever you want. ### 5/5 — fit for purpose *2023-03-19, version 5.0* Essentially excellent - does all I need of it. I only wish that the ad-free version of the iPad version I paid for, was transferable to use on my iPhone. ### 4/5 — Almost *2022-07-24, version 5.0* Works as claimed. Various chimes have different decay times, so time interval between multiple chimes should be adjustable. But not so. The decay rate on my preferred chime is way, way too long to be useful. I use this app very often. ### 5/5 — Best Meditation timer every! *2022-07-20, version 5.0* I love this little app, so very helpful I praise it every day. Simple and to the point. I do a number of standing, seated and walking meditations this app is so versatile I simply design what I need, save it and recall as needed. If that isn’t cool enough it’s over all design is beautiful. Love it! ### 5/5 — Very helpful! *2022-07-18, version 5.0* I love the simplicity of this app. It’s easy to set up, and unobtrusive while praying or meditating. I find that I’m much more focused when using it. My only recommendation would be to allow for multiple interval lengths within a single session. Otherwise, I think this app is perfect! ### 5/5 — I grok this timer *2022-07-03, version 5.0* Works good😌 ### 5/5 — meditation timer *2022-06-17, version 5.0* I love this app! I use it for 4 or 5 different meditations and yoga postures and really appreciate that I can very easily choose varied interval times, beginning, ending & interval sounds and have a record of every procedure I perform. I use this timer in a bi-monthly meditation group and the other participants love the Tibetan bell chime. I strongly recommend the pro version to eliminate unwanted advertisements. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2022-06-03, version 5.0* Extremely useful and versatile timer. Very programmable to suit almost any need. Simple and attractive as well. I tried a number of meditation timers before finding this one, and have now used it for many years. Approaching Enlightenment any day now! (Just kidding!) My only suggestion for improvement: although the sounds (gongs, bells, etc.) are pretty good quality, they don’t die away progressively to complete silence. Should be easy enough to record actual bells etc. and record all the way to *complete* silence. I’d give 6 stars then. ### 5/5 — Superb timer *2022-06-02, version 5.0* Can’t think of any improvements. So flexible and easy to use. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Continually stops aft 5 min *2018-12-03, version 4.0* I have used this app for a couple years and liked it better than the more popular timers, however in the last month it has been failing. After 5 min, it just goes back to the start. I've tried reinstalling, resetting my IPad and it still stops after 5 min the first time and all the way the 2nd time. Going to try another timer now. ### 2/5 — Room for improvement *2019-12-25, version 4.2* My biggest complaint, hence three star rating, is if you would like to install the app in more than one devices you are out of luck. They charge $1.99 for each device, which is ridiculous?! There is one thing I hope they improve soon. That is; ability to integrate logs in either users’ personal email calendar or have an option to view in calendar format in the app itself. It’s simple & straight forward mediation app to use, which is certainly a plus point. Edit: I recently encountered another issue, looks like iPad version of this software is buggy, if you want to add logs start & end tab does not work. So the rating drops one more star to two. ### 2/5 — Performance is irregular *2018-11-28, version 4.0* I have used this app 4 times and for two out of four the final gong did not sound. I had a super long meditation but now I know I can't rely on this app to accurately time me ### 2/5 — Unreliable *2018-05-19* I’ve used this app for years and initially loved it, but over the past number of months it has become highly unreliable. I can pretty much count on the timer freezing midway through the session and not chiming when it is over. I’ll look and see that it simply stopped at some random time. I’ve now started setting my clock timer as a backup. Can you all fix this? It has caused me to be late to work some mornings. But for this, I’d rate the app a 5, but this is a serious problem ### 3/5 — Good Basic Meditation Timer - needs improvement though *2021-01-24, version 4.3* I have a few meditation apps and this is my main go to app for meditation nowadays, as I prefer self guided sessions. It is a plain basic meditation timer and that’s all I need most times. Things that could be improved; * allow for landscape view, not only portrait; * it ain’t. Lear how to change backgrounds; * make it available on iPhone through the same purchase; * add a few more bell sounds, especially soft and subtle sounds. Thank you. ### 3/5 — Nice, But Music, Sounds & Isotropic Beats Should Be Added *2020-10-12, version 4.3* Really like the customization, but I would like meditative sounds, music and isotropic beats added as options. Most of the time I meditate in silence, but sometimes I like sounds and/ or music and isotropic beats in the background. Also, add landscape ability. ### 3/5 — Very good meditation app, but needs some improvement *2019-03-19* Been using this app on and off for a few years now and I really like it. I don't care about keeping logs of how long or how much I meditate-- spiritual practice isn't about keeping score, like in sports. If or when I reach God realization, keeping scores of how long I meditated to get there will not matter one single iota. I like that in setting my total time and an interval bell I can relax and just be with my practice fully without peeking at a clock. Improvements I feel are needed are as follows: This app really needs to be able to make use of screen rotation. For me, my iPad is much more functional and easier to deal with and set up in front of me when it's in a more horizontal, rather than vertical, position. Update: Still wishing for a screen rotation feature to allow me to use my iPad in the horizontal mode I most like to use. When I set a background that I really like, I do not like that just a movement of my iPad or a stray touch causes the background to change to a picture within the app that I don't like. I choose pictures that are restful to me. I don't like when it jumps to something else like a lightning storm. Update: This hasn’t happened now for quite some time. Thank you! New Update: I still like and use the app, despite the few things I’ve mentioned that could use improvement. Today the thing I’d like to see improvement in is the tingsha sounds. These sounds are cut off from resounding to the complete full ring that fades to nothing. PLEASE— re upload a natural sounding tingsha sound that finishes its complete ring! To have it cut off before it’s truly finished spoils the sound and the use of the sound for meditation! Otherwise, it's a nice app that does mostly what I need it to do. ### 3/5 — Great but flawed *2017-08-03, version 3.4.4* The free version should not even get one star because the second the timer goes off from meditating a loud obnoxious advertisement comes on completely ruining the meditation experience and forcing you to upgrade if you don't want to be blasted out of your meditative state. Paid version would get 5 stars but had to take off for the stupidity of the app designers to advertise in that way. ### 3/5 — Meditation Timer *2013-02-03, version 1.4* Bought the App after trying the free version. Screen auto lock is not consistent. Apart from that, simple to set up. Sounds are very pleasing. Journaling and Stats are a nice feature. Hope the auto lock gets sorted. ### 4/5 — I grok this timer *2025-06-18, version 6.0* Works good😌 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excelente app *2025-11-07, version 6.0* Excelente timer para meditar, justo lo que ocupaba para meditar práctico y sencillo ### 5/5 — Great app - all the features I want/need, without the frills *2024-10-06, version 6.0* Love this app. Was using Insight timer before, but got too fed up with all the frills (community login, meditations social network, etc). This app is perfect for me. Highly customizable to my needs. Def get pro version to avoid ads (present in free version) ### 5/5 — Pleasantly simple *2024-06-15, version 6.0* While my original favorite meditation app went insane with social media features, Meditation Timer has stayed simple and to the point. The user interface is a little scattered but otherwise it’s perfect. ### 5/5 — meditation timer *2024-06-01, version 6.0* I love this app! I use it for 4 or 5 different meditations and yoga postures and really appreciate that I can very easily choose varied interval times, beginning, ending & interval sounds and have a record of every procedure I perform. I use this timer in a bi-monthly meditation group and the other participants love the Tibetan bell chime. I strongly recommend the pro version to eliminate unwanted advertisements. ### 5/5 — Best Meditation timer every! *2024-05-21, version 6.0* I love this little app, so very helpful I praise it every day. Simple and to the point. I do a number of standing, seated and walking meditations this app is so versatile I simply design what I need, save it and recall as needed.

Otherwise, I think this app is perfect! ### 5/5 — Love this meditation timer! *2024-01-26, version 6.0* After trying out several others, this is the one I kept coming back to. I’ve used it almost every day for many years! ### 5/5 — Meditation Timer Pro for iPad - Really Good! *2024-01-21, version 6.0* Does everything I need and want in a meditation timer with good, easy to understand instructions. ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2024-01-20, version 6.0* Easy to setup .
