| 2024-08-19 |  | | 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. |
| 2024-08-15 |  | | 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. |
| 2024-06-27 |  | | 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. |
| 2024-06-13 |  | | I really want to be able to say I simply love this app. I do love how simple it is, how it doesn't add extra distractions when I sit down to meditate. It's just a timer. However, it has a bug that really compromises its usefulness. Every so often, the timer doesn't go off. I eventually open my eyes to find a message saying that the app was unable to set the gong volume. This only happens occasionally, but it's often enough that I can't trust the app as a reliable timer. |
| 2023-11-29 |  | | Great little app. Wish you didn't need to keep phone turned on to use it and had it keep my notifications off before I figured out you needed to finish the whole cycle, otherwise I like it. EDIT-Had to get a new phone and downloaded this app again. Had to find under settings how to get the chime to ring at the end (seems like that should be the default) and found where you can turn the volume of this app down which is great. But later noticed the dial display finishes early making dial useless. |
| 2023-11-14 |  | | This is a bare bones, meditation timer that lacks many features. But the features it has work well, and it is quite reliable. Feature request: 1) I already rated you five stars, so don't annoy me with further requests for a five-star review. 2) add an option to see only the dial and NOT the time written out during meditation. I'm not fond of watching the numbers countdown, but like the dial because it gives me a general idea of the remaining time. |
| 2023-10-17 |  | | Not any better than the timer app on your phone. Being able to program a preparation/warm-up time and different numbers of start, interval, and stop signals (gong, chimes, glass bowl) would be a definite improvement. On the plus side, it doesn't have any distracting neurolinguistic 'guided' meditation, either so that's good. |
| 2023-05-19 |  | | The perfect meditation timer. It's very simple and basic and exactly what I was looking for. I love that I can silence all phone activities while I'm meditating, so there are no interruptions. It also doesn't track you every time you meditate like other apps, which always created anxiety in me if I missed a day. I've really enjoyed using this app. |
| 2023-04-16 |  | | The long short of it is that it's a timer. When activated it put your phone into do not disturb mode and allows you to relax and meditate without any disruptions. With its simple elegant display and the sound of a gong at the end of the timit is relaxing, and easy to use. The only complaint I might have is that I does not always turn off the do not disturb feature. I have to check this after each session so I don't miss any important messages later. This seems like a pretty small price to pay. |
| 2023-01-03 |  | | The app is simple and does nearly everything right, but crucially, the timer does not make a sound if your phone fell asleep while it was counting down. This unfortunately is untenable since my phone will always fall asleep during a short twenty minute meditation session. |
