Best meditation app

This app does everything I want and it is incredibly easy to use. Thanks for making it.

so many ads

it does what it says and works reasonably well, a bit laggy and rife with ads. these provide another avenue for mindfulness (meeting them with equanimity ☺️)

Unique

There is no other timing app like Pocket Meditation Timer.

Very Good Meditation Timer! - VoiceOver compatible

Shocked at how well this timer works with voiceover for modifying the times and sounds. The “back” button is the flaw I found as it only announces “button.”

The sounds are decent and the interval timer is very nice. They have done a good job keeping it simple.

The sounds play even when the device is playing other music.

I do wish it had a halfpoint timer as well.

Get this if you want to start meditating

For years I was ambivalent about meditation. Yeah, I knew I wanted to do it, I knew I needed it, and, after a few Soto Zen retreats, I knew definitely how to do it. But I started my daily practice only when I got this app. Adjustable bells, gongs, time periods - probably other apps have all that functionality too, but intuitively, something about this one just works best for me. Daily friend now for seven years.
