Some courses are for a fee but many meditations and the timer are free. It's a great way to explore different kinds of meditations. I don't really get involced with the "social" aspect so can't comment. I've never experienced any glitches with the app. I've been using it for several months and highly recommend it!
I love that there is a simple free timer to use as well as a ton of free content, a lot of variety and lots of different voices. Most meditation apps I see lock everything behind a paywall or are just the same repetitious voice and this one just nails it with simplicity and function. I've tried a lot and always come back to this one, no need to try any more.
My favorite app. I love the selection and how you can find meditations customized to what you are looking for. One thing I would like improved is if there was a way to buy by a lifetime subscription instead of monthly or yearly. It also is discouraging to have to pay extra amounts beyond the premium subscription for workshops.
I have found this app to be very helpful. in fact more helpful than any therapy I've sought/gotten in the past. Waaay better than Headspace. Highly recommended. I have to amend my review, unfortunately. If you get 3 people to download the app, you are supposed to be rewarded with a free year of premium membership (they have to sign up with your link). I accomplished this and am unable to access any premium content for free. I've notified them via email and have gotten no response.
Still very buggy. Incredibly hard to open app without it freezing. It's always stuck on the quote or between the quote cover page and loading 🙄 If it ever opens you'll find it has the best guided & silent meditations. Social or solo experience with tons of free live workshops, meditations, and courses. I look forward to the day that the app works properly again.
I have been using Insight Timer for almost 5 years and think it is hands down the best app for relaxation and meditation. My only problem is that these past 2 months the app keeps freezing and takes around 10 seconds or more to go to the next function. I have updated the app 3 times recently but unfortunately the problem still exists. Still, my overall favourite app on my phone. Thank you
This app has helped me and was suggested to me by my CBT Therapist. I wouldn't ever use any other app, and the constant feature updates, amazing. I have used this app since it was merely just a timer with no other features. Hands down better than any competing apps when it comes to mindfulness, meditation, and mental health (not a medical reference or substitute for seeking professional help, advice and guidance.)
Note this review is accurate early 2022 now, on Android... The content is AMAZING. Great selection of music, talks, meditations and courses. They finally added the handy option of playlists. Circles and groups hard to find and messy in my humble opinion. Otherwise good for all levels and all needs, very affordable, I love it!
Every update for about the last two years has made this app worse. The latest is a complete disaster of mega-bloat, complexity, confusion, poor layout and design. 5/16/22 Thought I would come back to see how this app is progressing. I was able to open it a few times and now it just hangs on the opening white screen. Review changed from 2 stars to 1. Absolute garbage.
This app has been a wonderful tool and resource for me. So much so that I recommended it to friends and family (even w/out the free year premium incentive).There's a wide range of different meditations as well as courses. I had an issue with my referral link and they responded very quickly to remedy the matter.
Generally grateful that this is a free meditation app. Biggest issue continues to be that app updates are filled with bugs and they take weeks to fix. Standard support line is 'delete & reinstall' the app (and hope that fixes it). Should be fixed/available for free: Don't show rating screen after meditation/allow doing it later, allow moving to a particular place in a meditation, etc.
This started life as a great mediation timer app, but it is gradually getting lost in a sea of annoying extraneous features. I mean, did they really ask users what new features they would like and get the answer "what I really want is for the app to open with an inspirational quote every day"? I am wasting more and more time each day navigating through features I don't want or need just to get to it. Please keep it simple!
I've used this app for over three years. That, in itself, is high praise from me. About February of 2022 that all changed. The app is now being constantly updated and, from my experience, the updates are not addressing the flaws introduced to mature features. The flaws are annoying and induce stress. A meditation app should not be stressful. If, by the end of May, this app doesn't return to the quality it had before all the chaos started, I'm leaving.
Some great content, but an absolutely terrible interface for the actual media player. Pausing covers the forward and back buttons, and disables the slider. Even when they're on screen the hit box for those buttons is comically tiny, making it very difficult to smoothly navigate, or even jump back a few seconds if you miss something.
Lots of variety in meditations but the app is glitchy. I have contacted tech support many times but I still am not able to play most of my "downloaded" meditations offline. As soon as I am out of service the app glitches. It will not play a majority of my meditations if offline and tech support doesn't help/always suggests the same "fix" which doesn't work then stops communicating with me when I say it didn't work.
This has been the BEST meditation app I've ever used. I absolutely LOVE IT! Its the most beautiful + professionally done graphics and audio of the teachers I've ever experienced! There are so many teachers to choose from and you get full length meditations or for a fee you have the option to work 1:1 with the teacher (some prices I've see are from $65 -$399).There are courses, classes, mentoring and more.. I'm drawn to this app frequently and can't wait to try out more teachers!
Lately the app keeps stopping. Tonight, even after several attempts to pause and restart. After updating and restart. Still not loading. Then I deleted all, reopened updated version and still it won't work. Over 3 years of using daily (99.8% of the time), and I can't open the app. Very disappointed as it helps me fall asleep at bed time, and several times through the night. Wonderful app with many options. Find meditations, music, or talks to fit your needs.
Used to be great, but now they've added several social media aspects and changed the layout, and I find most of the buttons to be ones I don't want, and it's much harder to find the things I do want, which are: Recently Played, Favorites, and Search. So it's definitely become less user friendly lately, but the content is still very helpful.
An incredible selection of guided meditations, courses and music. You can select these by theme or length. I particularly like the timer with the ability to select from a great range of background sounds (or none) and start, finish and interval bells. It's also possible to set the duration of the session. The sessions can then be saved. Fabulous
I have used this App for a no of years, and absolutely love it. Since this last update however meditations stop randomly every few minutes. I uninstalled and reinstalled the app in the hope it would resolve the issue, but not only do I still have the same problem, now I have lost my history as I can't log back into my account. If the issue is not resolved I'll have to find another meditation app, but I do really love this one when it works!
