### 1/5 — Todo es de pago

*2020-02-09, version 1.1.4*

El único sonido son cargo es considerablemente mlesto.

### 1/5 — Can barely hear gong sound

*2019-11-06*

Made to pay $4 for a gong sound and I can’t even hear it. Unfortunately I thought this was the only app with a timer and gong sound otherwise I wouldn’t have paid the money. I’ve since found a much better app!

### 5/5 — This worked for me.

*2018-09-08, version 1.1.4*

Thank you!

### 1/5 — Chime won’t work

*2018-08-04, version 1.1.4*

Purchased the full version. Chimes don’t work.

### 5/5 — Simplicité et efficacité.

*2018-01-20, version 1.1.4*

Application très simple d’usage. Parfaite pour une médiation silencieuse. Serait il possible d’y ajouter une possibilité de faire sonner une cloche en début de méditation (avec un intervalle entre le déclenchement du compte à rebours et le son de la cloche du début, le temps de prendre sa posture). Également, serait ce possible d’introduire des sons de cloche à intervalle régulier. Merci

### 2/5 — Fails to chime regularly

*2017-05-27, version 1.1.4*

When the free version works, is a nice App. 

However, even with iPad unmuted, volume set properly, and not in Do Not Disturb mode, it regularly counts down and fails to chime. 

Kinda a deal-breaker and impediment to purchasing paid version

### 4/5 — One of the best meditation timer apps

*2017-01-24, version 1.1.4*

I'm glad to have purchased the full version- it's worth it for the multiple chimes that may be scheduled. Two things I'd like to see are: first, the option to have different numbers of chimes at different intervals, and second, a tracking system that will show you over time when and for how long you used the timer. Namaste!

### 5/5 — Buddhalicious

*2017-01-08, version 1.1.4*

Crystal clear chimes and gongs. Everything a meditation timer/app needs to be, nothing that it does not. ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼

### 1/5 — Bad update

*2016-02-26, version 1.1.0*

I normally love this app. The update, however, ruined my ability to set intervals and the chime is no longer audible at meditation end. Help! All settings appear to be correct and I enabled notifications.

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2016-02-23, version 1.0.1*

The latest version does not allow you to set a new time because the numbers you have to scroll through to do so overlap on the screen with the start button. It worked fine previously.
