### 5/5 — Love this app

*2026-05-22*

Easily adjustable settings, pleasant alarm sounds.

### 5/5 — Great Timer

*2026-05-17, version 7.0.1*

A simple Meditation Timer that allows easy configuration to meet my needs, best in the App Store

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-05-13, version 7.0.1*

Works well and very flexible.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2026-04-16, version 7.0.1*

The meditation time is adjustable and uncomplicated easy to customize

### 5/5 — Everything I need

*2026-04-13*

This app contains everything I need as a meditation timer and reiki timer. You can set the total time of the session and you can set repeating interval bells. For example, you can program a 49 minute session with Bella every 7 minutes. There are several bell sounds (and nature sounds) to choose from. You can also choose background images. I recommend a dark background because the clock is white. Do not need anything else. I don’t need guided meditations, sleep stories etc. This is perfect as a meditation timer and reiki timer.

### 5/5 — Very good

*2026-03-29*

They haven’t answered my email to the support though

### 5/5 — Simple useful timer

*2026-03-28, version 7.0.1*

I use this for daily meditation. Simple, easy to use, no gimmicks. I like it best out of all meditation timers I’ve tried

### 5/5 — Simple and effective

*2026-03-05, version 7.0.1*

Great simple meditation timer. Built to do exactly what is needed for silent meditation. I like that it dovetails into the health app so you can see how you are doing in a single place. Highly recommend.

### 5/5 — It Simply Works!

*2026-02-20, version 7.0.1*

The only meditation timer I need. Easy to set up multiple meditation timers with pauses for start and completion. The sounds are clear. It simply works!

### 5/5 — Good and simple

*2026-02-17, version 7.0.1*

I do wish I could have intervals in one session differ in time.

### 5/5 — Amazing App

*2026-02-02, version 7.0.1*

This app has helped me improve my meditation I strongly recommend it

### 5/5 — Excellent App

*2026-01-28, version 7.0.1*

I really, really like this app. It’s user friendly and easy to maneuver. I primarily use one setting twice a day, but the options to customize them all are exceptional. I also like that it will record your meditation in the health app so you can track it. Big thumbs up.

### 2/5 — Confusing and too limited

*2026-01-24, version 7.0.1*

There are some things I like about the timer, but I cannot seem to make the timing work as I need it to and it would be helpful to be able to record a reminder for multi part meditations

### 5/5 — Meditation App

*2026-01-22, version 7.0.1*

Love this app. Helps me be more consistent with my meditations

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-01-21, version 7.0.1*

Lots of ways to personalize your meditation sessions. Not al lot of unneeded extras. Just a good free timer.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-01-14, version 7.0.1*

I’ve been using this app for 10 years, since I started my meditation practice. It works great. Nice to be able to set different durations and intervals, and to log history.

### 5/5 — Just what I needed

*2025-12-21, version 7.0.1*

Love the app! Only issue is that I cannot figure out how to send myself an email message when I’m done meditating. Please help. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Great meditation app

*2025-12-08, version 7.0.1*

The app did exactly what I needed it to do, and I highly recommend it.  Nice job!

### 5/5 — Excellent Meditation Tool

*2025-12-03, version 7.0.1*

Always with Centering Prayer or other forms of meditation is the challenge of finding a timer that is reliable and uses gentle noises so not to be a distraction.  This App is perfect in doing so, with the advantage of providing gentle 5 minute interval sounds for those who wish.  Furthermore, you can choose your own sounds and preprogram different sessions to suite your tastes.  I always have this App with me when I do a “sit.”

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Strange pricing

*2026-05-12, version 7.0.1*

I paid few dollars one-time for this timer app. Now they come and change it to a subscription model and ask more money per year. This is a trivial app which any AI engine can create in hours. Asking for subscription does not look right

### 1/5 — Purchased years ago, now they want more

*2025-08-21, version 7.0.1*

After paying for this app years ago, suddenly they want me to start paying a monthly fee. 

I like the app pretty well, except if you want to set a certain pattern of bells, like I do, in a variety of duration times, you need to totally reprogram the bells for each length of time. If they let you duplicate a meditation then you could just change the duration.

### 1/5 — You lost customer!

*2023-05-21, version 5.0.1*

I paid one time for the pro version app a few years back. Now you decided to cancelled my access and asking for a subscription!?! When I have already paid for the app? Been a user of this app for years, but I think a standard timer will do the job just the same. Thanks! But no thanks!

### 1/5 — I don’t want to pay twice

*2023-05-19, version 5.0.1*

I bought this a couple of years ago. I liked it a lot. Now I am being forced to pay a rental fee. I really resent this. I will delete it.  I sure removes to peace of meditation.

### 1/5 — Another subscription money grab

*2022-11-14, version 5.0.1*

I paid for this app to remove ads but now the developer wants me to pay for a subscription. The right way to do this would be to release a completely new version of the app with additional features and let this current version co-exist for those of us who bought it. I refuse to pay again for something I already purchased. It’s a simple timer with sounds which doesn’t justify a subscription. I’ve already installed another app that does the same thing without a subscription. Just plain greedy.

### 1/5 — Paid for app but keep getting pop up for subscription add-on

*2022-09-22, version 5.0.1*

Annoying pop up to subscribe for “premium” version of app that I already paid for.

### 1/5 — Money grab

*2022-09-19, version 5.0.1*

I paid a one time fee and was happy to for the pro version, but now they’re making an obvious money grab and forcing users to switch to a subscription model. 

Are they adding any value when forcing us to suddenly pay more for the same app? OF COURSE NOT! They just decided to jump on the bandwagon and get more income on an app that is rarely (ever?) updated. My previous 5* rating immediately falls to 1* when users are taken advantage of like this. 

Deleting when they remove the ability to close the update window.

### 1/5 — No start and end button to meditate

*2020-07-20, version 4.3*

I have been trying to use the up but there is no start and end button.

### 1/5 — Meditation Timer

*2020-06-19, version 4.3*

This has the potential to be an excellent meditation timer.  It has the potential to allow for someone to time segments of their meditation time which is rare.  One can sit for extended periods such as two or more hours then have a tone to signal switching to a second segment for another period of time.   The winds can be tailored 

So why the low rating.  Setting what one wants is confusing.   I reached out to those who distribute this app and received NO help.  They recommended another app???  Really ?   The app they recommended had limited options and wanted all kinds of personal information.  Not good😒. It would be nice to have more soothing sounds to choose from.   I don’t like that the screen background changes some have a very negative impression.  A third thing is that for the longest interval the tone is not defined or loud enough and I miss the signal to change.

So sad that developers are not more user 
friendly.

### 1/5 — Ainda não foi consertado

*2020-06-04*

O som de outros aplicativos é exageradamente reduzido quando se inicia o Meditation Timer. Quando resolverem isso, aumentarei minha nota.
