I want to like this app, as I enjoy it's simple user interface mainly. But I'm switching to a different one for these reasons: - The app will randomly keep going beyond the set time I've decided on, i.e 20 minutes, and not give me any notifications of it. In other words, using it before work can lead to unwanted stress because I'll end up meditating for longer than expected. - Most of the sounds simply doesn't sound good, and for some reason the app even cuts some of them off before they are done playing.
This timer is absolutely perfect. Just a simple timer with a nice bell sound, plus the option to have a set-up time, so that you can get positioned. Other apps want you to join their "community", which I don't want. This timerr isn't crowded with unnecessary clutter, like guided guided meditations or advertisements. Simply a tool for people who already know what they are doing but want a timer. Very easy to use and straightforward. Will use it forever if it doesn't change.
Best meditation timer I've found. Pretty simple to use, but has nice features like interval timers. The included bells are great, but you can also use your own, which I did because I like a nice long bell sound. Love the ability to make several presets. The tracker/stats is really nice too.
This is the best timer! Very easy to use and has all the features I want: timer (odd minutes), choice of a wide range of sounds before, during and after the meditation. The interface is pleasant. (One tiny little thing I don't use is the "statistics" feature: it's off in that it erroneously states I started using the app in January.) I love being able to choose from my pre-set meditation settings, the session I want in terms of length, depending on my mood. Thanks a million to the developer! :)
I've used this app for over a year after learning mediation techniques from Headspace. It's simple to use and has helpful additional features like different sounds to tell you when to start and stop. I set it to vibrate half way through so I know it timer is still going. It also has ambient noise and just feels really well thought out. Excellent app.
Visually pleasing app, simple, nice sounds. But i can't figure out how to set 4 intervals of 5 minutes, for some reason I can't get the interval function to work. Would be nice if there were some minimal instructions. Also, clicking the After option in the interval section displays an orange error screen, and locks up the app. Have to close and reopen to start over. Nice simple pleasing bones, I just can't get it to work.
Great app, I've used it for a long time. Seems like "silent mode" changed in the last update. It used to turn off automatically when the meditation ends. Now it stays on, potentially all day if you don't notice. More specifically, if you press the "home" key after the meditation ends, silent mode stays on. If you press the "back" key after the meditation ends (returning to the list of meditations), silent mode turns off.
Updated below. This has suddenly stopped sounding the start and end gong/bell/whichever- which renders it completely useless. Can't fathom out why. Makes no difference if my phone is set to silent or not. Help!!! Update- the sound has randomly started to work again. No idea why and because of this i it will be a while before I can totally trust it. Has there been an operational tweek? If yes, please say so, so that I can feel confident again. Lack of response to any comments here is just rude!
Nice interface allows you to easily and seamlessly navigate through the app and set things exactly how you like. What is not seamless are the sound loops. While the transition to start the sound again may only be a quarter of a sec or so, it is still quite noticable during meditation. It feels like a stop on my psyche each time. This is the only reason I did not give it 5 stars
I love this app. It's so simple to use and it has fantastic features. It allows me to design lots of different meditations of varying lengths, sounds and intervals. I find meditation boring and thus app gives me the option to sound a bell at different intervals so I can change my focus. The optional background sounds (nature, rain, water) are of a good quality as well. The app allows me to save my custom made meditations for future use. And no advertising to swat away either. I love this App.
Just tried it out - perfect. A perfect, precise timer, taking into account not only the meditation time, but "prep" time too. The choice of timer sounds - both beginning, end, and if you like, intervals too - perfect. And the option of having ambient sound as you meditate - and the choices for that too - which makes the desire for using an additional background sound app unnecessary - again, perfect. On top of this, it takes up little space. Very well done, and many thanks to the developers.
I really loved the sounds, interface, settings - best I've found so far. BUT the timer would occasionally stop for no reason. I'd question how long I'd been sitting, then give in and look at the timer and it would have been stuck at a point, but then continue again once I checked it. It only happened a few times but it was enough that it became something I would concern myself with when I was supposed to be meditating.
Nice options, but need to ring longer. I like that I can ask for three bells in the beginning and end and the selection of different tones for the intervals. That was very exciting. The bells need to ring longer with pauses in between successive sounds to resemble the true bell sound. For example three bells in the beginning, longer fading time and a few seconds silence in between, with the interval sounds also taking more time to fade out like the natural sound. Then I would add this app again.
Easy to use and easy on the eye. I've tried out a few meditation apps & this is by far the most pleasant to use, & has the best combination of simplicity AND versatility. You can create & store your own sessions of any duration, with any number/length of intervals, & choose from a number of sounds. 5 stars now the earlier version 'ticking sound' bug has been successfully sorted. A great mediation aide!
Fantastic app. Simple, elegant, pleasing to the eyes. One suggestion, If the developer can add interval feature, with upto 20 interval, in the new preset form, it would be very helpful. I have a pranayama technique, where one round is of 42 seconds and there are four stages in it of varying time lengths E.g. 5, 10, 10, 17 seconds. And i have to repeat this one round of 42 seconds for 6 times which makes one set.. And repeat one set 3-4 times. None of the two presets support this format.
Have just installed and had a quick tour! Dear developer, you've done exactly that much what is needed for meditation assistance, not less, not more! Sounds are serenely awesome. Meditation log can be saved to many places including Google drive. There is a reminder option, refreshing ambience sounds, color options, fully customizable interval sessions and what not. The most important- U don't overwhelm users with useless and distracting options. You've got the golden zone. ManyThanks!GodBless 🙏
Only meditation app I've seen so far with a custom list of sounds. One of the few with an adjustable timer. Minor gripe, ambiance plays for the first fifteen seconds or so then cuts out entirely with, seemingly, no ability to modify how long it plays. Overall, everthing else was wonderful. Just ambiance kept pulling me out of being able to meditate. (I'm new & it's already easy enough.)
Virtually perfect. No silly personal-data-grabbing site logins required. Just a simple, good-looking app that runs timers and plays sounds as instructed. It does wrap it up in a nice UI, ask for a warm up / adjustment / settling in time, let you adjust volumes, multiple timers/session types, and reminders to do them. It supports keeping the screen on when your phone would normally lock. So pretty great, overall :)
A simple timer to help with my meditation practice. Just enough of a choice of starting and finishing sounds. I won't use the ambient option as I prefer silence when meditating, but others may appreciate it. And no annoying Ads! There's also an option to keep a straightforward record of your sessions. Perfect if you're looking for a no fuss, no frills plain and simple aid to meditation. Gratitude and appreciation to Harish for this app.
Edit, this is still the best meditation app I have found and the only one that actually supports intervals, but it does have some weird quirks. The UI to create a meditation and the UI to clone a meditation are completely different. If you want a distinct end bell, the only way to get it is to first create a meditation, and then clone it.
Overall a nice, clean, Simple app. My preferred meditation app because it does exactly what I need without a bunch of extraneous bells and whistles. Only issue is that pausing it makes the background sound cut out and I can't figure out how to get it to come back. Otherwise a great app.
Only improvement would be the ability to add a short period 10 secs at the end of the meditation (like the prep time at the beginning). I find the end a bit jarring where the bell chimes then the background sounds immediately stop. Otherwise it's great.
This app is great in a lot of ways. I use it for organizing my music practicing and love it. The only thing I don't like about is that it sometimes shuts off without warning. Pretty occasionally but randomly I'll start it and it stops in the middle of the count. But I still recommend it and use it all the time. I wish it were a little more reliable.
Very nice, simple app. I am looking for something with a bowl/gong that will sound at set times, rather than a reminder notification to open the app. Uninstalled for that reason. Otherwise quite a nice, easy to use app. edit: to clarify, I would like the notification to be the bowl/gong sound itself, rather than to send a notification. Maybe I misunderstand how to set that up
The app itself is excellent just because of its simplicity. I have just switched from zazen meditation timer which was giving me a lot of problems. I have already tried for a week and it works perfect. My only issue is that whenever the meditation ends and if you forget to come out of the meditation screen the silent mode remains on and i miss lot of important calls. Hope you add a feature so that phone comes out of silent mode as soon as meditation ends.
This app is just what I needed, and it appears to be made by real meditators. You can set multiple presets, each with timers going off at specified times, and it's very customizable. For example, I have a preset for Isha Kriya that gives me 30 secs of prep time, a ding at 11 minutes, and another at 20 minutes. The app is has been reliable so far and I have no issues with it.
Does every thing I need without using much storagage space and with hardly any draw on the batteries. I do have one wish though. That you would make the countdown time in a larger font so it is easier to see when the phone is next to you or away from you. Also I wish for a brighter font option so the countdown time is more visible.
Love the app. Simple and just works. I would like to suggest one additional feature of being able to manually add a meditation session because sometimes I meditate without having access to the app and I would like to add that session manually to it so that my statistics are up-to-date. Update: Developer responded quickly and added that feature. Great app, fantastic developer and fastest response to request. Keep up the good work.
