### 5/5 — 👏🏻

*2026-03-02, version 5.1.1*

Very helpful app. It can ease a process of time tracking without keeping in mind to control it and as a result you can enjoy meditation process 🙏🏻

### 5/5 — Convenient & Well Designed

*2026-02-26, version 5.0.4*

Use it twice daily for my meditations. Like that it is so many settings, and works on Apple Watches.

### 5/5 — Отличное обновление

*2026-02-25, version 5.0.4*

Очень нравится новое обновление программы. Пользуюсь приложением больше двух лет. Рекомендую!

### 5/5 — Eficiente

*2026-02-25, version 5.0.4*

Cumpre muito bem o seu propósito

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-02-21, version 5.0.3*

Super helpful.

### 5/5 — Terrific app - especially in version 5

*2026-02-16, version 5.0.2*

A wonderful meditation app. The only one you need. Lots of options - including simplicity

### 4/5 — Great so far

*2026-02-13, version 5.0*

The best meditation app I’ve tried so far with less clutter and a clean design. It just allows me to get on with it.

However the latest update for the watchOS seems very bug riddled and I am hoping those get ironed out soon.

### 5/5 — Been using this app daily for almost five years and I LOVE it!

*2026-02-09, version 5.0*

I was hunting for a solid meditation app as I began to deepen my practice almost five years ago. Not a guided meditation app, mind you. Timefully is exactly what I was looking for, and it’s been a useful companion for over 3500 sits. The flexibility is terrific, but it doesn’t come at the expense of simplicity. I was very happy to help beta test the new 5.0 release, and know that people will love it long into the future. 🕉️

### 5/5 — Best meditation app!

*2026-02-03, version 4.3.2*

If you want a simple, straightforward and very customizable app without needing to buy subscription this is the best app.

### 5/5 — Funktioniert perfekt

*2026-01-02, version 4.3*

Und deckt alle Bedürfnisse. Sehr zu empfehlen

### 5/5 — Essenziale e

*2025-12-26, version 4.3*

...nel corso de tempo ho scoperto esserci anche il suono della campana intermedia. Devo ancora scoprire cosa sia la open session 💕

### 4/5 — Appena scaricata

*2025-12-23, version 4.3*

Cercavo un timer per le mie meditazioni e credo di averlo trovato anche se interrompo prima comunque mi fa salvare in app salute e con il Watch aggiunge i dati del cuore … semplice ma è tutto ciò che può servire se uno non è alle prime armi e sa già meditare. Unica pecca tutto il menù è solo in inglese …

### 5/5 — Best choice

*2025-12-16, version 4.2.1*

I have tried multiple meditations apps and never seen something like this. Excellent too. it’s simple interface will make you very happy for choosing this.

### 4/5 — Simple and efficient, I like it!

*2025-12-04, version 4.2.1*

I like your app very much because of its simplicity and efficiency, but the only thing that is missing for me to be perfect, is the capability to read the HRV from the Health app, which is important in meditation. So if you want to consider that, would be great. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Best Meditation App!

*2025-11-11*

I have six meditation apps, but I was not satisfied with all of them.  Then I found this one. A simple timer, achievements, total time, consecutive days of success. Lots of ways to track progress and to motivate you. And it has a mood tracker too with lots of options so you can see how you are doing.  But my favorite of it all is the total time and the cool down and warm up time, simple concept that all other apps fail to think of. Meditation is key to a healthy life, and this app is a gem.

**Developer response:** Wow, thank you! So happy to hear that you enjoy using Timefully.

Don't hesitate to reach out to hi@timefully.co if there is anything we could add to make your experience with the app even better.

All the best,
Christofer @ Timefully

### 5/5 — The Best App!

*2025-10-31, version 4.2.1*

I love the Meditation timer and it just matches as I desire. This was the app I was looking out there in the App Store.

### 4/5 — La mejor pero….

*2025-10-06, version 4.2.1*

Es la mejor, probé muchas  y esta no la cambio por nada. Pero años sin actualización y que no se pueda ver en español es lo que hace que no tenga más usuarios.

### 4/5 — Useful

*2025-09-29, version 4.2.1*

Good app but needs an update!

### 5/5 — Great so far

*2025-08-11, version 4.2.1*

The best meditation app I’ve tried so far with less clutter and a clean design. It just allows me to get on with it.

Though a quick note, I noticed a bug in the onboarding process when selecting my daily frequency. The slider and was inputting multiple values.

### 5/5 — So Useful

*2025-04-27, version 4.2.1*

Love this app. It has been a daily tool for many years.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Used to be great

*2025-01-20, version 4.2.1*

Now it seems I have to have an account to track my meditation. It wants me to plant trees? No just track my sessions please. I can manually enter them but that’s a hassle. Boo

### 1/5 — Stop interruptions in free version

*2024-11-06, version 4.2.1*

After the initial period, most meditations get interrupted with time limit messages. This seems a crappy way by the developers to push pro payment. And totally unfair for meditators who don’t want pro BS and just want a basic timer.

### 1/5 — RIP App seems abandoned

*2024-08-08, version 4.2.1*

No updates for over a year. This app seems abandoned and no longer supported. Sad to see because this was a great little simple meditation timer without bloated features. And it has good Apple watch integration. But now it has unfixed bugs like timeout notice being unclickable which makes the watch app quite broken.

### 1/5 — Pro version

*2024-06-23, version 4.2.1*

I paid the fee for the lifetime Pro version of this app.  Since I started with my iPad, it appears that the only way to make it work with the Apple Heath app is to pay ANOTHER lifetime fee on my phone. I have emailed twice.  Both times I received a return email that they had received my request for help, but to no avail.  Do not pay for any kind of upgrade.  It’s a complete waste of your hard earned money.

### 1/5 — Not worth life time membership

*2023-03-03, version 4.1*

I was expecting there to be guided meditations and yoga practice is based on the description and purchased a full year and there’s no way to undo it and it literally is just a timer that I could continue using where I was already doing it extremely disappointing.

### 1/5 — No sounds on AppleWatch+AirPods

*2022-01-24, version 3.6.2*

Did not seem to work. Meditation Timer Pro app does work & is similar. P.S. I subscribed to Timefully app, reloaded app, checked settings, etc. and could not get it to work on AW

### 2/5 — Like this app BUT BEWARE of …

*2024-06-26*

This is a good app. And it does what I need it to do. I mean there are some minor things that I would improve but BEWARE OF THE FOLLOWING… I bought the yearly subscription. That was $9.99 for the year. BUT BUT BUT my credit card was charged $9.99 per month. I checked to make sure that I purchased the yearly option and I did. So why was I being charged by the month? Luckily, I caught it relatively early. Initially paid $9.99, and then was charged two additional months at $9.99. So essentially I paid $30 when I should’ve only paid $9.99 for the year. BEWARE and check your credit card charges if you use this app.

**Developer response:** Hi Eyezonmwr, and please accept our apology for the delayed reply. Thank you for the candid feedback and for calling this out so clearly. We’re sorry for the billing confusion you experienced—that’s understandably frustrating. Timefully subscriptions are billed and managed through Apple, so if a plan is charged incorrectly, the fastest path is to contact Apple Support for a billing review/refund and also email us so we can investigate from our side and help follow through.

We also just released Timefully 5, our biggest update yet, and we’d love for you to check it out.

### 2/5 — Frequenti malfunzionamenti

*2023-08-22, version 4.2.1*

Spesso alla fine della seduta esce un messaggio sul watch che duce di fare login nell’applicazione, chissà per quale motivo, e non salva la sessione, interrompendo la sequenza. Immediata disdetta dell’abbonamento.

### 2/5 — Timer is great, log isn’t

*2022-12-29, version 3.10.1*

Timefully isn’t keeping track of my meditation sessions, even when I manually enter them. Is it just another ploy to get me to buy the full version? If so, keep the possibility out of site.

### 2/5 — Why no more haptic feedback??

*2022-05-25, version 3.8.1*

I used to love this app for meditation. I took a few months off from my typical meditation regimen, and now as I go to use the app for the first time since, I find that you can only use a bell and not the vibrate anymore? The haptic vibration is the reason I began using this app in the first place. Very disappointing, guess I'll have to find another.

### 5/5 — Great app, great service

*2026-07-10*

I rarely write reviews but when I do it is usually to do with how bad or how great something is in my experience. In this case, I say the app is pretty great. 
I have been using this app for ~1.5 years, much more within the last 3 months. Although my practice doesn’t necessarily hinge on needing this app, I definitely make great use of some of the features. 
With the most recent update, there was an issue with the widget not updating properly. I simply emailed the developers to make them aware and had a decently prompt reply. They were aware of the issue, explained why it was happening, and said an update is to expected within the coming days. As I write this review, I haven’t seen the update yet, but I feel pretty assured that it is coming and remain contently patient. It isn’t like the widget not updating will prevent my practice or even interfere, so no big deal. 
Good customer service can really
go a long way but so can being a good customer and treating the developers as teammates. Everyone wins.

**Developer response:** Thank you for this, lilking27 — and for a year and a half of practising with Timefully. It means a lot that you took the time to write, especially so generously.

Your view of good service as a two-way street really landed with us; treating each other as teammates is exactly the spirit we hope for. Thank you for flagging the widget issue by email and for your patience while we sorted it out. The fix is live now.

Wishing you many calm sessions ahead.

### 5/5 — Wonderful and peaceful

*2026-07-09, version 5.8.1*

Such an easy to use and helpful app!

### 5/5 — Great app to track my practice

*2026-06-16*

This app has been great at helping me keep track of my mindfulness practice! Seeing what days I’ve had the most quick sessions or what days I’ve had just one or two long sits on the cushion as well as keeping track of how I feel coming out of my meditation as well as taking notes help me reflect and work on progressing deeper with more consistent fruitful meditation sessions. My only criticism or advice for the developers is I wish the emotion wheel had more emotions to choose from. Selections like “focused” “restless” “distracted” “accomplished” and possibly some other more nuanced feelings would really capture more specific feelings for unique situations.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for this review, TheMsGuy! It means a lot to hear that Timefully is helping you reflect on your practice and track how you feel coming out of each sit.

Your point about the emotion wheel really resonates with us. Being able to capture nuanced states like "focused," "restless," "distracted," or "accomplished" would make that reflection much more meaningful. The good news: we're already sketching out a richer, more expressive emotion logging experience for a future update. Stay tuned, we're hoping to ship something you'll love soon. Thanks again for practicing with us and for taking the time to share such helpful feedback!

### 5/5 — My companion

*2026-06-11, version 5.7*

I have used this application for the past 1.5 year. I am a daily meditator and this app helps me stay on track. Easy to use. Bell sounds are genuine and plenty to choose from. The quotes are often nice and inspiring. You have the ability to plug in sessions manually and in retrospect. The stat section is helpful to have a global view of how consistently you have meditated over time. Highly recommend.

### 5/5 — Mr

*2026-05-16, version 5.5.2*

So far, this is the best app I’ve been using for my meditation practice. The team will fast respond to your suggestions, even small but your idea will be heard.

### 5/5 — A Perfect Portal

*2026-05-03, version 5.5.2*

Fidelity to reality and life as it unfolds brings a sense of coherence, joy and vitality. Listening deeply to life is made so much easier with this app. It is elegant, motivational, and the perfect portal to our coolest and fullest manifestation.

### 5/5 — The best of all.

*2026-04-20*

Just bit observation 
I try to restart phone app and Apple Watch app and give access to everything health data but it says open time on my phone to sync. tap to retry and nothing happens and can’t be passive but my main goal was to use iPhone app.

So after five minutes, it’s suddenly start works, but there is no way to speed up and it’s a bit frustrating that I can’t even start anything without. But after that, everything was great.

**Developer response:** Hi Skywinder, I’m really sorry this has been so frustrating. We take this very seriously, and what you described is not the experience we want for you. If you’re open to it, please reach out to us through the in-app support/contact option so we can troubleshoot this with you directly and get it working together as quickly as possible.

If you can share your iPhone/watch models and iOS/watchOS versions, that will help us pinpoint the issue faster. I’m confident that we will figure this issue out if we get some more information about the issue.

### 5/5 — It’s worth it

*2026-04-17, version 5.5*

The app is pretty good, well designed and worth the premium subscription (as long as they keep things real and don’t ramp up the price). Love it.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-04-08, version 5.5*

One of it's kind. Best app for meditation tracking. Great features, thank you!

### 5/5 — The best ever

*2026-03-07, version 5.2*

Definitely the best meditation app ever!!!
