So much potential but the app doesn’t work!
I would love to play the resources eg talks eg. But every minute or so the app just stops playing and I have to press play again which spoils the whole point of meditation..I press the timer for a certain number of minutes and then while it sounds the gongs at the beginning, it never sounds them or makes any sound when the twenty minutes are up which also defeats the purpose of it!

Updated and chaotic
The recently updated WCCM website that the app accesses does include the helpful meditation links and information, but it is not especially user friendly. And there is a growing sense( evidenced on the website) that membership and donations are foregrounded before you can access some materials. Nothing wrong with that per se ( they need funds to operate and members to grow) but basic access to material is preceded by requests for email information, donation links, etc. and way too many links. For an organization that stresses stillness, silence and simplicity this is a busy, noisy, messy site for a universally valuable practice. Access to the practice should not be accompanied by so many bells and whistles.

New version doesn’t work for me
I am very disappointed in this revision of the WCCM meditation timer. The two features I liked best have been eliminated (ability to set the number of times the gong/bell sounds and ability to set a lead-in time before the first bell sounds). I use the timer for a meditation group and these features are key. Also, I am barely/not able to read the numbers on the timer when I glance to see the time remaining. The access to resources through the app is good but not of value to me as a long-time meditator.

A “game changer” for me
I use this app every day to meditate for 10-20 minutes. Its increased my ability to focus on one task at a time, be a better listener, and cancel out extraneous stimuli that distract me from my daily goals. I’m more deliberate in my actions, and m discovering that I feel more gratified in life.
Even more stars!
Besides being beautifully produced, these tools and resources are invaluable aids to the daily practice of Christian meditation and an understanding of the work of the World Community for Christian Meditation.
Disappointed
Two stars for potential. Yet none of the things open on clicking them. Very disappointed as was super keen for this resource. Would love if this was fixed so I could give five stars.
