Zazen Meditation Timer User Reviews

Top reviews

I always loved this app but

It went away for a year or so and I couldn’t download it again and now the sites website is malware. This doesn’t feel safe to use.

Prefect

Perfect and free, so not pay for a Meditation timer this has everything you need siting walking sitting or just sitting.
Nothing more nothing less.

Great but…

App is great but your Belfast Zen link took me to various spam locations. Worth checking that. May be the link, may be the website.

Excellent App

I have been using this app daily for at least two years now. No complaints. It’s the perfect app for zazen. 🙂

still crashing hard

two suggestions. 1st: make fonts and numerals bigger inside the app2 nd: maybe fix the crashing issue?

No sound

No bell sounds

Was great before glitch

I loved this timer for its simplicity and bell tones but one day it just stopped making any sounds and I haven't been able to figure out why. Deleted and re-downloaded multiple times to no avail.

Perfect (again)

Absolutely agree with the other review, no fuss, excellent and authentic bell sound. I use it everyday & feel like I’m back in the dojo!

Perfect

App is all that I needed, no guiding, no ambient sounds. The two bell recordings to choose from to start and end your meditation are beautiful.

Areas the app could be improved are the size of the text for the meditation length and the colour of the text in the time picker. The low contrast was hard to read.

Beautiful

Very simple lovely app. It would be great if it wrote mindful minutes to Apple Health so I can monitor my progress. 🙏🏼

Very useful for zazen

Allows to set variable preparation times and a seated mediation times. How nice it is to answer the bells.

Worked great until...

Worked great until the iso 13.1 update. Now when it opens it just fades to black & is in the background. I hope there’s a fix for this as I love this app!

No Sound

I’m not getting any bells or other sounds. Other reviews say they are getting nice sounds.... not me....

Simple and perfect

Nice easy to use meditation timer. For those who complain about not being able to hear the bells in silent mode just put your phone in airplane mode. No disturbances. Add meditation to the search words. It took me a long time to find this.

Almost

I’m grateful for this app. Nice sound, simple and easy to use. My one criticism is that there is not audible signal to the end of kinhin. So, unless your looking at you phone during kinhin you won’t know its time to sit again until the bell is already ringing. Perhaps a taku signal and then another 20 sec settling period before the second Zazen bell would be better.
It would also be nice to be able to customize how many sits and kinhins there are, perhaps in the future?
Gassho!

Simple but everything you need

I use this app everyday. Has everything you need for doing just-sitting practice.

Not zen

The gui is zen. The confinement to set times is not.

Where did the Bell sounds go ?

I loved this app and it was definitely 5 stars but now I seem to have no bell to sound the start and end of my sitting. Please could you help?
• Update I needed to do a hard reset on my phone and now all is well. It’s an excellent app please don’t hesitate to get it 😁 Definitely 5 Stars !

Make it a bit louder

Not all phones are created equal. In mine it gets really quiet. An option to make bells louder would make this app absolutely perfect

All you need

This is all you need to practice Zazen and Kinhin. Simple to use. The only thing I wish it had was a bell with a higher pitch, like an unkind bell in addition to the gongs. Otherwise perfection.
