### 4/5 — Good start

*2023-05-22*

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.

### 3/5 — Huh?

*2023-01-12, version 1.3.2*

+ 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).

**Developer response:** 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
