great app and works fine, except for.... it expires and stops working if you dont keep updating it constantly? Strange and suspicious choice, especially considering this is a simple app, so 3 stars for forced updates. update: reduced from 3 to 2 stars because it keeps nagging me to rate the app, even though i already submitted a rating here.

Gong wouldn't sound. Messed with phone's sound and turned of phone call sound completely both during and after meditation AND when the app closed, yet allowed an alarm from my phone's clock alarm to sound in the middle of meditation. Had high hopes. Very disappointed. Now uninstslling and praying the sound problem on my phone is mended. Three years on. I have revisited this app, and it works fine. Not five stars; it would be useful to set concurrent timers; 5 mins, then 20, then 5, for eg.

Missing two simple features that would warrant 5 stars. First, there's no interval gong to bring you back. That should be adjustable every X minutes. Second, there aren't different gong or chime sounds to choose from. Those were two of the key features I was seeking. I wanted a starting gong, different interval gongs every 3 minutes, and a conclusion going (same as start). Otherwise, decent app, simple layout. The settings should show current meditation length...not hidden until selected.
