peaceful practice
this is my favorite app to use to time my daily meditations.
Helpful app
Great support for my practice! I’ve been using Samsara for years and appreciate the ways I can adapt it to fit what I need in a given time.
Simplicity
Very easy to customise a suite of meditation profiles to support the various practices that you may be engaging in. No time wasting and superfluous extras, best meditation app I’ve found.
Used for years
I’ve relied on this app for years- it’s simple and syncs to Apple health for mindfulness minutes. Does exactly what you actually need for meditation.

Best app - getting better
Wonderful app
Samsara Not complicated and it works!
It gives you what you need to time your mindfulness.
Aggressively monetized spyware
I haven’t used this app in awhile but it was once a simple meditation timer. Now there are a bunch of “features” that amount to spam and personal data collection, while preventing me from simply setting up a few timers. No thanks.
Amazing!
I’ve been using this meditation timer for years. Simple design, with a lot of customization options. Highly recommend!
Beautiful. I’ve been using Samsara for years
This has been my go-to app for my meditation practice for years. It is sleek, beautiful, and to the point!
The recent redesign is a fresh take on the great features this app has always had!

I’ve Used Samsara for years and have found it easy to use, and easy to modify to suit my current needs.
Simple, elegant, and to the point
I've tried many meditation timers on my iPhone over several years, and Samsara is by far the one I most prefer. It is feature-rich while remaining simple to use, with a beautiful interface that is easy see without any unnecessary clutter.
The many bell sounds for starting and ending a session are very much to my tastes, and the ability to set the number of chimes and the interval between each allows me to customize the experience to my exact liking - with even the ability to make each chime in a set get gradually louder (which is how I like to end my sessions). Warm-up and cool-down times can be included as well as arbitrary chimes mid-session - along with many other thoughtful features.
One can save any number of presets and these are very easy to set up. My only feature request (at the time of this review) would be to be able to copy an existing preset so I can use it as the basis for a new one. But this is only a small concern since the presets are easy to establish, and I only make new ones occasionally.
While this app is more costly than many of the others that are similar, it is well worth the price for its elegance and practical use. There are no in-app purchases or social media components, and for that I am very thankful. When I sit (zazen is my practice), I want a tool that serves to time my session with simplicity and beauty and without the phone getting in the way. Samsara does this for me with excellence. I can't recommend it more highly.

Favorite meditation app
I love this app. It motivates me to stay consistent in with my meditation. I love its simplicity, and that it syncs across all of my technology.
Very good
Only wish there was an option to save a couple of preset lengths of meditation periods. Otherwise perfect.
A perfect app
I’ve been using the free version of this app for 15 years. It does exactly what I need it to. A perfect app really 👌
