WHAT OTHERS SAY
- "The log is so wonderful. I love that I can track my sessions and that the app tells me how many days I've gone in a row. It's an extra incentive to keep me practicing. Fantastic, simple, and great."
- "This is the best app I have found for meditation. One of the key elements in the effectiveness of meditation is to do it regularly for a certain duration every day. I meditate at home, while waking, and in the subway. This app helps me to keep a record of my daily meditation time very easily. Great job. Thank you. :-)"
- "I am an ordained monk, and quite frankly, your app rocks!" - Venerable Yao Ma
- "This is my favorite meditation app. The bells have very good sounds. Setting my own timers and intervals, if needed, is superb. The creators seem to listen to the users of the app & it shows. The daily reminders to meditate are a lifesaver for me on some days. I highly recommend this app to anyone wanting a nice customizable meditation timer."

### 5/5 — Love!

*2023-10-01*

Great little app. I love to track and organize my meditations so this is a great space to do it on. I also love the recommended frequencies and meditations. 

Only thing I wish could be tweaked are the crashes, the app sometimes crashes.

### 5/5 — Really good

*2022-09-02, version 1.16*

I saw this app thought meditation was stupid but I tried it and now I’m more happy and healthy thank you

### 4/5 — Pretty good except…

*2022-02-13, version 1.16*

A very good meditation app that doesn’t detract from the goal of mindfulness with too many belks and whistles. The only issue I have is that it is not compatible with dark mode— settings boxes come up as black bars. I will still support this app though in the hope that it will be fixed.

### 5/5 — ❣️

*2022-01-22, version 1.16*

such a useful way to meditate. n super easy to use.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2021-02-09, version 1.16*

One of my favorite apps. Everyone needs to try it.

### 4/5 — Review

*2020-07-13, version 1.15*

Nice app enjoying it alots

### 2/5 — Good for the first day

*2020-05-11, version 1.13*

I loved this app the first day. I especially loved the community aspect. Although I kept trying to save my sessions and both the session and my notes would disappear after I hit share. I even tried deleting the app and reinstalling it thinking maybe that would fix it but it didn’t. I tried to log it a different way and it still didn’t work. I spent time writing long notes three times only for them not to save. All this did was ruin the bliss I got from my meditation session. So disappointing.

### 1/5 — Friends feature doesn’t work

*2020-04-30, version 1.13*

It doesn’t actually let you add your friends

### 5/5 — Grow your meditation practice

*2020-03-05, version 1.13*

I love the dashboard. I know how long I’ve been working on my meditation practice and how long my average session is. The dashboard reminds me to keep growing my practice. I’m at 14m 6s now, in a year, I want to be at an average of 15 minutes. 🙏✨

### 3/5 — Great app

*2019-07-08, version 1.13*

I love this app as it keeps me on top of my mediation each day with the reminders. I love how you can set what kind of Bell to end the session without scaring the bejesus out of you with an alarm tone. The only issue I have is that I cannot log any sessions as an error message pops up. Can’t even read the whole thing since I can’t make it bigger. Beside that, great app!
