I usually meditate for an hour and need to program that manually. ### 4/5 — Great timer but poor UX *2026-07-30, version 6.4.1* I love the timing feature. It’s perfect for 7 or 10 minutes of silence to slow down and check in with myself. A bell at the start, bell at the end! Easy. However, I started a paid subscription in the hopes I could upgrade to a nicer bowl sound but I can’t for the life of me figure out how I assign it to my timer. It’s kinda frustrating! ### 2/5 — Exactly what I want, but seems broken *2026-07-11, version 6.4.1* I can’t get the basic timer working. ### 4/5 — Great way to support mindfulness practice *2026-06-22, version 6.4.1* Love the app. Helps me remember to pause and slow down throughout my day. Only downside is sometimes the app doesn’t work it could be because I have an iPhone ### 4/5 — Sound *2026-06-08, version 6.4.1* Bright and deep it sound ### 5/5 — Great, no frills reminder app *2026-01-31* I use this app as a reminder to standup every 30mins, and it works perfectly for me. Just a feature request - allow me to schedule daily but only for weekdays. ### 3/5 — Bell is too long too loud *2026-01-11, version 6.4.1* It’s just ok. Kind of irritating ### 3/5 — Can’t Hear Bell *2026-01-09, version 6.4.1* It wouldn’t be bad except for the fact that half the time I don’t hear the bell. ### 5/5 — This app is absolutely wonderful *2026-01-06, version 6.4.1* I love it so much because I said it to ring every 15 minutes and I come back to center and it reminds me to be mindful. I love it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-08-18, version 6.4.1* I use this several years ago and it worked great. I’ve tried installing it and reinstalling it recently and no bell sounds no matter what bell I pick. … ### 1/5 — Reminder bell not working. Paid version *2026-08-12* I purchased paid version on 11th Aug 2026. But . Bell sound not coming and only silent notification is coming. Very disappointed ### 1/5 — Have to have phone screen on *2026-06-29, version 6.4.1* If my phone is not open, the bell doesn’t ring. What good is that? ### 1/5 — Not working *2026-06-21* It stopped working after the first day ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-05-31, version 6.4.1* I’ve tried- I’ve messed around with all the ways you can set up the timer. The start button doesn’t function in the main section so you have to go on to the timer section to get it to start. Set it to ring every ten minutes. Rings once then that’s it. Whatever I do it will only ring once. Really annoyed I paid for the upgrade, such as it is. Ditch this and go for insight timer ### 1/5 — Worked until I upgraded *2026-04-26, version 6.4.1* Disappointed. Who knew no bells would sound upon upgrading. I should stuck with the free bells. ### 1/5 — Does not work, no support available *2026-02-16, version 6.4.1* I used this years ago and loved it. Keep trying to come back, the settings that the developers say we have to use in order for it to work make no difference and the website offers no contact. Fix it please! ### 1/5 — App not working *2026-01-20, version 6.4.1* The app isn't working (despite having paid for the bell) and there is nowhere to get assistance from. Disappointing. ### 1/5 — Craptastic *2026-01-02, version 6.4.1* Wonky uncooperative waste I need meditation after trying to make it work ### 1/5 — Срабатывание оповещений *2025-12-23* Оповещения срабатывают через раз((( ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Welcome interruption *2026-08-17, version 6.4.1* Love this app- the ring is such a gentle reminder through out the day. Totally helping me regulate my nervous system ### 5/5 — Simple, helpful tool *2026-08-01, version 6.4.1* This app *works*. It supports my meditation routine, and for that I’m grateful.
