### 3/5 — Swipe not working to skip.

*2022-07-05*

Would love to figure out a way to repeat each sequence, eg all the steps in step 1 (I have 7)  x  10.

**Developer response:** Hi, all sound settings have been checked in v6 that should be going out to the AppStore soon.  Please make sure your phone is not set to vibrate.  We will add this feature of repeating all the steps in the routine in next version. Thanks.

### 5/5 — Zen Activity

*2021-07-12*

Quite well designed and very functional app. I use to monitor and time my yoga poses daily.

### 3/5 — A useful app but limited

*2020-03-17*

I’m enjoying using this App for a yoga sequence but there is only one choice of bell and you can’t add steps in between other steps later on. You have to reprogram the entire thing- annoying.

**Developer response:** Hi, sure you can add a step later on.  Please do this by adding a new step and then moving it by dragging and dropping it from the end to where you want it to go.  Thanks.

### 3/5 — Its an OK timer

*2020-01-12*

I use it for yoga/meditation sequence. I find it a bit clunky to program. I would like to be able to restart a section if I need to which I haven’t found a way to do yet. Would also appreciate a way to choose where in the sequence to start.

**Developer response:** These are good points.  We will add support for enabling disabling exercises in a routine so we can add this feature for you. Thanks.

### 5/5 — Very customizable

*2019-09-10*

For those whose meditation routines feature different practices this app is ideal.

### 5/5 — Great timer

*2019-06-09*

I love the easy copy step feature which makes it easy to add new steps. Timer does seconds which is great. I like their zen mode feature which only gives the essential timer info during working out. Nice design, clean look, good for yoga, my kind of app, love it.

### 1/5 — No sound. Email for help in app bounced back.

*2019-03-25*

Seemed like a great idea. Then the sound didn’t work to cue the next step. This is after I spent 45 min entering my sequence.

**Developer response:** Hi, sound will work if your phone is not set on vibrate and volume is normal. Also please choose a longer sound to make it obvious.  Sorry about the inconvenience, please email us if you have any questions. Again, we value our customers feedback and thank you for your support.

### 5/5 — 명상 그리고 요가에 좋아요

*2019-02-28*

요가 아사나 유지할 때 타이머가 필요했는데요
다른 무료 타이머들도 다운 받아서 써봤는데
일단 이 타이머는 yogi나 명상가들에게 최적화되어 있어요
알림 소리도 다른 앱과 달리 요란스럽지 않고 차분한 벨소리이구요. 그리고 부장가아사나 자세 1분 유지 후 10초 휴식 다시 1분 유지 후 10초 휴식할 때 이렇게 프로그램을 짤 수 있어요. 유료라 광고도 없고 만족해요

### 5/5 — Very good timer

*2019-02-08*

Very good. You can save 3 workout sessions and easily change order, delete and copy steps, adjust timings etc afterwards. It’s an easy to use app and it’s nice to look at.

### 5/5 — Just right

*2018-08-18*

Just the right amount of functionality for my yoga and meditation routines. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
