What people like
- Completely free with no subscription
- Gentle gong sounds are nice
- Simple design without data tracking
- Great for serious meditation practice
What they complain about
- Settings don't save between uses
- Sound stops when screen locks
- Glitches make timers unreliable now
- Background audio loops with jumps
Simple, no fuss
I love this app! Use it every day to time my meditations. Way preferable to a simple alarm - the gong (and interval gongs) aren’t so shocking that they scare you when the time is up. Super important if you’re a nervous nelly like me.
Not working anymore
This app was great until it stopped working. Nothing happens when I press start anymore. Can't submit a bug report because it says "there's a bug in the bug report...better go meditate," which is ironic given that app isn't working.
Constructive Criticism
Love the App. Have donated money multiple times. I just wish I could pause it. Without having to reset the time 🙏😊
Lame
Doesn’t work with screen off. Doesn’t work if your screen goes on sleep.
Web Connection benötigt
Jetzt schreibe ich tatsächlich mal meine erste Rezension. Ich fand den Timer in seiner vorherigen Version Mega. Der pure Minimalismus. Aber seit der, jetzt auch nicht mehr so neuen Version, braucht die App eine Internet Connection. Ich möchte aber sehr gern mein Telefon während der Meditation in den Flugmodus stellen, weil ich einfach keine Lust habe, dass es andauernd bimmelt, wenn ich eine Nachricht bekomme. Da kann ich doch nicht der einzige sein, oder?
Perfect
Love the setting choices and how easy it is to navigate. I use this app most days to time my meditation.
Settings never save anymore
The app has always worked quite well, apart from not being able to lock the screen whilst in use. However, the recent most update has made it so annoyingly bad! My settings are NEVER saved, and I ALWAYS have to set my sounds and timer from scratch every single time. There is no need for such a dumb step backwards!
Singing bowl 1,2 and 3
Almost soundless
Didn’t work right
I like the concept but once my phone screen would go dark the end bell would never ring
Nice timer for meditation either some bugs
I like App itself, has nice sounds and features for mediation. However at least on iOS it’s not only so reliable. Sometimes the ring / gong sound is not played although the timer already finished. That’s a bit annoying when you meditate and want to be focused on the practice but then have to start wondering if the time already passed…
Just what it should be
Nice simple app not trying to do more than it needs, like gathering personal data.
End Gong did not sound with phone screen locked
I'm on iOS 17.5.1. Latest version of the app. Gong did not sound after meditation time elapsed. Only sounded gong when I unlocked phone screen. Was meant to be 1 hour but last session shows up in stats as longer than 60 minutes (62 minutes in this case). Effectively pointless in its current state but thanks for trying.
Great
Great, but would like the option for multiple saved timers
Good before
This timer was great before, however now it often takes a while for the "gong" to respond. Sporatically it will not respond to a tap to start, then suddenly registers all the taps. Probably an easy fix in ur code somewhere.
Einstellung
Wenn ich z. B. Insgesamt 10 Mudra-Übungen jeweils 2 Minuten lang durchführen will, geht es nicht. Einmal klingelt es nach 2 Minuten, dann nicht mehr. Ich stelle deshalb die Zeiten auf 4/2 Minuten und muss dann neu starten. Nicht sehr praktisch
Straightforward, Out of the Way
Simple design for your practice. Clear and confident. Maybe they could have a random gong interval range during a sit, so you loosely set the parameters but don’t actually know when the gong will go off. Just a wish. This app has been really good for my practice.
Meditation
I have had and used this app daily for years with no problem. Suddenly it is not working. What is the problem. Can you fix it please. Thank you A aaa as
Very good
It’s a great app, I use it every day and it works very well. I have had slight problems with its stopping and defaulting back to the beginning time apparently all by itself, but these are rare and I’ve just reinstalled the app which I hope will help.
Loved BEFORE recent update
This was amazing before this recent update. Before if I had set timer for a half hour and I’d only meditate for 20 minutes and would turn it off, it would show me in the stats that I meditated for 22 minutes. It now shows 30 minutes so it doesn’t save accurate stats. Sometimes when I hit the gong to start the timer, it gongs, but then the timer never really starts and it doesn’t give me credit for the meditation. The new look of the time is awful. I like the old look better. So I’m looking for a new meditation app for my phone.
Klang
Der Klang ist zu dumpf
A longtime user
I have been using this timer for almost 20 years. I like it because of its simplicity.
No sound annoying
No sound amymore . I’ve tried everything, I used to love this app. How do you disable this “focus” mode. This is annoying. I want the sounds and it won’t exit silence.
No sound when phone locks
I appreciate the simplicity of this app, but since the recent update I have found that there is no sound once my iPhone locks. I’d really appreciate a fix for this
Settings not saving
Since the last update my settings for my meditations are not saving anymore. I have to set the duration and interval every time. I miss that.
Nach Update unschön
Nach dem letzten Update ist mein Gong weg und die App ist auf dem IPad nur noch halb so groß, links und rechts ist alles schwarz, Schade, ein klarer Fall von Verschlimmbesserung
High Five 🙌
Great meditation vehicle!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
New version...look bad...look for something else
This new version is garbage...remove
Was better before.
I love this app and use it most days. It used to remember your settings, but for some reason that recently changed to a default and now I have to set up the time and sounds each time. That is why I’ve given only 4/5. If it had stayed as before I would have given it 5/5.
Now Has Audio Looping Issues
This was a great little no-fuss meditation app. Unfortunately, since the latest (v5) release, all of the background audio pauses for about a second each time it loops. May not sound much, but these frequent disruptions make it really hard to concentrate, which makes the app near useless for meditation ☹️ Hopefully they’ll fix this soon.
Best I’ve found
I sit for 30 minutes each round, at least once a day. Fairly traditional Soto.This app can be set to mimic the opening and closing gongs with a 30-minute timerin between. I have used this app for at least 9 years. A few glitches, in that sometimes the minute counter doesn’t stop when the closing gong sounds at 30 minutes. So my stats show I sat for, e.g. 1180 minutes that day. Also several times a week I listen to recorded talks, which are streamed to my device while sitting, and quite often this will cut off the second gong from sounding, or reset the timer, both things affect the stats. These are minor problems, and I do use this app daily unless at a retreat. I don’t need the stats, really, but it helps me check that I didn’t skip a sitting accidentally. The App is more helpful than not.
Suitable for beginners!
This is great for beginner Buddhists, or just anyone wanting to start meditation! They let you customize the time you spend on your meditation, customize the nature background sounds during your meditation, and let you add interval bells to your meditation! If you are a master at meditation, you can set this timer up for hours! This app doesn’t require ANY payment or subscription to use, everything you get is completely free. I definitely recommend this app!
Bad changes
This was the perfect app. And then you changed it-orientation, minimum length of meditation-just about everything that made this perfect for me. Why???
Nice simple app
Only missing one thing - the ability to pause the meditation. I like to do a technique in the middle that takes varying amounts of time, and this would be a very useful feature.
Ok but settings don’t save
I’ve been using this app for a while and really liked it. However, the latest update no longer saves your settings, so you need to reset each time, and the background I use now has a jump on it when it starts repeating. I have now deleted the app. A shame.
Change
Since you update went downhill in my rating
Best Option All Around!!!
This app is great because it has a variety of features and sounds, all for free! A critical part of meditation for me is having the interval gong to recenter my focus. So you can set parameters to achieve gong meditation if you’re into that. I haven’t looked for any more meditation apps since, it’s that good!
Latest version - frustrating
I use this app in English in my primary classroom and latest update doesn’t provide language change. Also, this version only provides the option of 5 min as the shortest timer. I will have to delete and find new app.
Version 2.0 could be improved
I prefer the previous version, which was beautifully simple with the digital count-down of just the right size. It also had the option to dim the screen during meditation for energy saving. But all of these features I love disappeared in version 2.0… Although I still appreciate the developers’ motivation to improve this app and offer it for free. Thank you.
I was enjoying this until…
I was enjoying this app until just using it now and the gong sound I have on an interval glitched and made a horrible and scary sound that was like a demon was in my phone. It was a scratchy high pitched sound and it really freaked me out in the middle of my meditation - quite the opposite of what I was needing.
recently got worse?
ive been using it for years, but it seems to have become unreliable since latest update, dinging at the wrong time etc. sometimes i set it but the timer doesnt start. or maybe im getting old and not using it right!
Simple
Everything you’d want for zazen
The app is now in German
The app defaults to German with no way of changing the language to English.
It's great
Love the simple interface. I could use a random function in the bells interval setting but that's about all I can think of. Than you.
Background sound
Even though I turn the background sound off it continues to play. I personally find this disturbing when trying to meditate with no sounds.
Language changed?!!
It’s a great app, but they’ve changed the default language to something else and I can’t use it now. I tried reinstalling it, but still the same. Once this is fixed, I’ll give it 5* again.
Love this app
I have an active meditation practice and many of the other apps give too much guidance. I love the quiet beauty of setting a gentle gong to remind me to come back to my focus as I sit in my meditation. Simple and perfect. The only thing I wish is that the mindfulness minutes were tracked and sent to the health tracker.
Why is it in German now?
After the “upgrade” the app default language seems to be German and the screen to change it back changes only part of the text. This app is great… if you speak German. And, yes, I deleted and reinstalled it. One star for the upgrade and five for the app when it works the way it used to.
Great
Haven’t had it long. Luv listening to it and helps me go to sleep / relax during times of insomnia.
Languages
Hey, mine turned into German for no reason. What happened?
Can’t change the ambient sound or the starting sound
Otherwise I like how you can have a very simple short meditation set to the length of time of your choosing, which for me started with 2 minutes!
