I'll give 5 stars if interval chimes are added. ### 4/5 — Great App, some needed additions *2012-05-09* I love this app. Pretty easy to use and the bell sounds are very satisfying. The one thing I'd like to see added is the ability to have a metta timer, to be able to have a second ending bell go off 5 minutes after the ending bell to say when to stop doing metta. Also, it would be very nice if the delay before the starting bell chimes could be up to 30 seconds. It takes me more than the current max, 10 seconds, to get comfortable after pressing start. Also, it would be nice it the app worked with the iPhone locked, instead of having to have the screen on. Thanks for the app! I'd gladly pay for a pro version that did all of the above requests. ### 4/5 — Good *2012-04-12, version 1.1.0* Simple to use, choice of 2 bells, great for a free app ### 4/5 — Simple. Easy. *2012-02-09* The bell sounds are good quality: plenty loud and long. App is small size, loads quickly. The interface is uncomplicated. One bell strike at start, one at end of session. It'd be nice to have more bells but I like it the way it is. ### 5/5 — Does exactly what you want *2020-11-02* I have used this meditation timer app for years. It has no fancy, distracting features that you don’t need. It simply times your meditation with a lovely opening and closing bell sound that is allowed to naturally fade. I love this app. ### 5/5 — No frills timer *2020-01-10, version 2.2.0* Perfect minimalist meditation timer ### 5/5 — I wanted a timer to help start meditating *2016-05-24* This is a good, basic timer with a bell at the start of, and finish of your practice period. You can choose between one of two bells. Practice periods come with three presets for walking, sitting and standing meditation, time period easily edited and custom use presets can easily be created. Well done. Deep gassho to the developer.. ### 5/5 — Great meditation timer *2015-12-24* I use this app every day. It is really easy to use, simple, well thought out design and even has customizable times. Thanks developer! ### 5/5 — Stapled in my phone *2015-04-28* Small. Simple. Easy to use. Add your own presets. Rename the defaults. Excellent!! 10stars!!! ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Simple *2014-01-25* I went through several other apps that had too many features and bugs before I found this one. No interval timers (that go off mysteriously for no reason), no facebook posts, no logging in. Just a simple timer for your daily meditation practice. ### 5/5 — Simple and useful *2014-01-06* Well designed timer app ### 5/5 — Simple and effective *2013-08-26* The screen shots for this app describe its function fully. There are 2 bells and you can create preset timers with different durations. This app does exactly what I expected. 5 stars. ### 5/5 — Very nice! *2013-03-09* Great features include: big countdown display, pause button, unlimited timer settings, pleasant gong sound, easy to edit timer setting and a 5 second-to-start countdown gong. Thank you and Namaste. ### 5/5 — best meditation app out there! *2012-01-11* i love it when something just works! this does exactly what it says it does and nothing else, for free! you don't need a diary, or a log or graphs or a locator to see who else is meditating at the same time you are. all that stuff is crap and not needed!! the whole reason for meditation is to simplify and strip down life to the bare minimum and dive into your subconscious and just be! how can you do that when you are worried about graphs and other stuff! PLEASE, if you are truly into meditation, then download this app first and try it out. its simple, easy to use and works! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
