Vipassana Meditation Timer

Warning: this app could cause hearing damage. I use ear buds so as not to disturb others around me. This app immediately raises the volume up to the maximum as soon as you open the app and rings a bell. I thought it was a mistake and opened the app a second time and it did it again. Wow, your app is harmful through its poor design. In response, yes you can go in the settings and adjust the volume, however why would that be the initial setting and why should the app always override the volume?

The app is great, without doubt. Nevertheless, I have 3 suggestions to further improve it: 1. There should be an option to keep the screen awake, 2. There should be an optional bell to set at any regular intervals, like at 15 mins or 20 mins or half an hour, and 3. With each passing 5 minutes, the color of one round in the clock should become white. Regards,

I really like this app and believe it has great potential but unfortunately your phone will enter into sleep mode in the middle of the meditation and you lose all function of the app until you wake your phone up. You will not hear the timer go off once your phone goes into sleep mode. I will keep this app installed on my phone in hopes of the future that they can fix the bugs in it.

Very generous of the developer. Thank you very much Andrea. This is the best app being so simple yet very effective. Just using this app in its current form makes you feel convinced of being transformed. This app is vipassana in its truest essence. If I ask for more features, why am I even practicing Vipassana Simplicity is key to an untroubled mind. Thanks. UPDATE 4/18/22 The app sleeps with the screen timeout. Is there a fix to this? Thanks. Android 12.

Simple, clean, useful app that does precisely what it says in the description. Lovely, easy UI, no ads or distractions whatever, and the advanced features, should you need them, unlock merely by signing in with your Google account. I'll keep this one, and I'll use it daily.

A very plesent chime which you can change to.signal then end of a selected time of quite. The time allocation is simple to set. Easy to use with sound variants. Thank you. Been using the app for a while. It has stopped chiming at the end of the meditataion session and continues with the same time again then it wiil chime. Tried uninstalling and installing app but no change. Pls help?

Very nice app. I have encountered a problem. After my device goes to stand by mode (sleep/the screen turns off) the app forgets give me an alarm sound! It also sleeps! I'm on latest version of android. Do I need to give any permission to keep it awake? Storage permission has been given. Thanks. Lots of metta!

I wish this timer was perfect. But it stops working if the display closes, which mine does. So I never hear the bell and it resets. Making the timer pretty pointless because it's not timing you unless the display is on.

This app is promising but the lack of a pause button means it's not going to be convenient enough for me to use. Sometimes life happens while you meditate and you have to get up & come back to the mediation.

I liked the app, but all of the timer sounds were bad. Really bad. I realize there's a "add your own" option, but it would be better if the provided sounds weren't so bad that they need to be replaced by the user.

The simple UI is great but the app doesn't work. It goes to sleep in the background so the bell doesn't ring on time :( I thought it was due to MIUI, but the same happens on my new Asus Zenfone. Please help and I'll be happy to change the rating.

I use this app to meditate and I've been using it for over a year, it's my go to for direct meditation. Only issue is when i switch off the display the timer doesn't sound, please fix this, otherwise this app is all i want and nothing more.

Simple, minimal app for meditation without the bells and whistles of other apps. Just what I needed. Been using it for months. Thank you for creating and maintaining this wonderful app!

I like the app, it keeps me more focused when I know the time runs. unfortunately if a session is disrupted the time yet meditated doesn't count, which is a pity. I.e. I start a 60' session. If it disrupted in the 55'. it doesn't count. seeing the daily counter it is not considered. could you pls count the minutes until the disruption? Metta

Of all the meditation applications available that I've tried, this is my favorite. It is, in my opinion, the best because it is minimal and practical. Very easy to use and most of all, it seems to have just the right amount of things you need--no less, no more. Peace.

Good app. Does everything it should and simple to use. Nice selection of sounds. I'd add a 3 second pause after starting so users could settle in place.

Good timer that performs as described. i only wish the bells choices were a bit softer on the ear. The options available seem a bit too sharp for me.

Does exactly what it says. This app is pretty simple and basic, but that is a good thing. It's far too easy to get hung up in multiple functions that don't really add anything. This works, and the interface is clean and simple.

Exactly the type of app I was looking for, clutter free, and does all the right things, timer, meditation log that isn't thrown in your face, pretty much it, thanks 😊

It just the timer like stopwatch and there is no voice guidance . Beginners will struggle with timings and without meditation guidance. So it ll b suitable to all the meditators !! M Vipassana meditator completed my courses in Dhamma setu centre !! Finally it just a timer !! Wakes u up by sound once time gets over !! Useful for me !!

Great app, I can put in a pre meditation timer, followed by the meditation timer and then end with a relaxing song from my own music library. Very cool app!

Perfect simple customizable timer app. Small size. Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for making it available.

Simple and straightforward timer for insight meditation. The problem is that in most vipassana centers phones are not allowed but the app can be used for informal practice at home.

One glitch.. if I set time and then reset it quite early.. It counts as a complete session... Only complete sessions should be counted..isn't it? Rectify dat if u can....

Just use inbuilt stopwatch which is already in your Android or iOS. No relevance of this app because it has only stopwatch function . It should have teachings of guru and other stuff relevant for meditation. People who gave 5 stars are unknown about basic features that your mobile already provide. Don't sign in with Google as Google collects your data.

Timer works brillantly. It continues even when my phone enters power saving mode. This was a problem with other timers but not this one!

Really a wonderful and simple app, whether you're using it for your sessions or just as a timer for power naps. Well done indeed!

Pretty useless. The timer doesn't work because the display sleeps. I read the FAQs and obviously your reasoning doesn't even help. Uninstalling it for now.
