### 2/5 — Many improvements possible

*2021-06-29*

-The main reason i have stopped using this app is that it makes my Green activity ring rise during meditation ( i dont want my meditations to move my activity rings)

 -Ability to have more than 3 meditation 

 -During a meditation to be able to skip to the next activity 

 -On the Apple watch for some of us the way it is arranged the text for next activity is too small 

 -It would be nice if we could edit or have custom haptics like 3 or long short repeated x times etc..

### 1/5 — Currently not working

*2020-11-17*

Seems like there is a bug. Perhaps it’s not iOS 14 compatible yet.

### 5/5 — Perfect yoga timer for WATCH

*2020-10-24*

Excellent app for hatha yoga or postures / asanas that are timed. It does one thing really well. It uses silent taps on your Apple Watch, so it does not bother anyone around you. It’s also great for my breathing routines that require specific timed intervals. Super simple to set and forget and it’s always ready to go, right from your wrist.

### 5/5 — Simplicity is brilliant

*2020-10-11*

Great app with a very responsive developer. Best part about the app is the simplicity - rather than having a million settings to adjust, it lets you set things up easily, then use it even more easily on the watch

### 5/5 — Reduced to the max

*2020-10-06*

Meditation is all about focus. For Apple Watch users, this app embodies this idea like no other. Additional kudos to Omar for making this app Apple Health compatible and for reacting to requests amazingly quick & friendly.

### 5/5 — LOVE this app!

*2020-09-22*

This is the perfect app if you want a meditation timer that lets you create specific timings and you want to use it with Apple Watch!
I use a meditation system I learned from Ziva Meditation and this app lets me create timers to match that system. Cool feature is that it gives you a sound and haptic notification on the watch which is perfect for me.

### 3/5 — Has potential

*2019-04-29*

I really like the potential of this app - however there’s a couple of points that really need improving:
I’d really like to have some degree of control over the interval notifications - I’d like the option for a chime of some sort as well as the option to create different types of haptic feedback - eg 1, or 3 buzzes - also - even with haptic feedback set to high it’s really subtle and quite hard to detect. Other apps seem to manage more prominent haptic feedback notifications. 
Address these issues and I think you’re really into a winner.

### 5/5 — Great meditation app

*2018-10-07*

I love how easy it is to set up interval meditations and I love the haptic feedback for bells so that I can do meditations in silence with gentle reminders tapped on my wrist. Great job with the app!

### 4/5 — Leider nur ok

*2017-12-12*

Es ist leider nicht leicht eine gute Meditationsapp für die Apple Watch zu finden. Diese gehört zu den besseren. Trotzdem ist da noch viel Potenzial. 

Die App macht im Prinzip was sie verspricht. Positiv ist, dass sie immer aktiv bleibt. Andere Apps verschwinden sonst von alleine im Hintergrund.

Aber die letzte Notification der Serie ist nicht anders als die davor, obwohl dies im Changelog der aktuellen Version angegeben ist. Das ist nervig, wenn man nicht mitzählt. NACHTRAG: heute gab es endlich ein Update und jetzt funktioniert es! Daher Wertung nach oben korrigiert. 

Man kann auch nur 3 Vorlagen erstellen und Zeiten in 30 Sekunden Intervallen auswählen. Auch lässt sich die Vibration nicht anpassen, was bei Intervallen nützlich wäre. Unnötige Einschränkung. 

Insgesamt gute 4 Sterne. Das Konkurrenzprodukt „Still“ finde ich etwas besser, hat aber andere Probleme. So hat die Suche noch kein Ende.

### 5/5 — Great calm App for distraction free Meditation

*2017-09-11*

This app is a great support for meditators who like to get a little feedback during their meditation to keep the time in mind.
With very gentle taps from the watch there is no distraction but a noticeable reminder on how long the session still lasts.
The meditation time is added to the mindfulness count in health App.
Nice contact to the developer with quick responses. A clear recommendation.
