November 23, 2023

This update gives Ponder a fresh new look, with a softer, more minimal look.

User reviews

Good start

Good start to an app, beautiful visual design. Could be my primary meditation app, but really needs: - Remember the last session length! Very annoying to have to set it each time. - The timer setting buttons are very sluggish. A rotating dial or slider or really anything else that’s faster would be nice. - Ability to save times, interval times - Change tones and preview tone sounds Happy to change the rating once some of these are implemented - the first one makes it particularly annoying to use.

Huh?

+ works when screen is off
- no option regarding multiple chimes during session (I don’t want chimes mid-session)
- cannot change/adjust chime tones (which are not the same during and at the end).

Response from developer

Hi there! Thanks for using Ponder, and thanks for your review, it’s really appreciated to improve the app. To remove the chimes during a session, you can go into Settings, tap the chime you wish to remove (active chimes will have a purple border). Tapping once will prepare for deletion, tapping a second time will remove that chime. The ability to change the chimes is a great idea, we’ll be pushing an update within the next week or so that will allow this. Thanks, Greyscode
