Meditation Timer Pro App Reviews

Simple and easy to use. I like it very much, I have been using it for a couple of years several times during the day: for very brief meditations and also longer meditations. Is easy to use, easy to arrange accordingly to your particular needs, is not link to groups or individual meditators, something I appreciate is just a great and simple timer for meditation

Great little program!!!. I have been using Meditation Timer for a number of years and it always works smoothly and always successfully transfers my data to my iPhone’s health app. I love the ability to set reminder intervals during meditation, which I sometimes use, and set different sounds. It does exactly what I need!

Works well.. Great little app. Been using it about two weeks for daily meditation; all the functions I hoped for. Quick response from developers. Next update should have health integration. Visuals could be more interesting, but for the price I am extremely pleased. :) Update: been using four months for daily meditation. Health app integration works seamlessly. I especially like the detailed personalization options for individual meditations. Very pleased! Defly recommend. Update 26OCT18: The app has been giving me some trouble. It’s shut off several times; I’m now running a timer as backup. Which annoyed me. So docking a star.

Does the job well. This no-nonsense app gets the job done, having been designed by people who understand meditation, that there may be different phases, etc. In addition to letting you set up your own meditation timers with intro, main, and exit phases, all of which can be differentiated by different sounds if you like, it has a choice of non-jarring notification sounds, allows you to store various different meditations, and automatically transfers your data to the health app.

New update fixed most of the bugs. Update: New Update fixed bugs. So 5 stars! The app is easy to use and has the main and simple functions one needs to keep a record of their meditation history. The main issue of this app is that it randomly decide to stop the timer and leave the user guessing if the session is done. I hope they can fix the bug and then I’d like to give them a 5 star rating.

Honestly my go to meditation timer. I have the paid version and I love this app. I’vebeen using it for years now - on occasiin I tried other ones because friends swore by them. Not for me. This app is straightforward to use. The paid version gives you many many (unlimited?) saved meditation lengths, the options to add intervals in and a rest period and gives a notes field to track day by day. Perfect!

Excellent. I have used this app for years and it’s been great. I had tried several apps before choosing this one. I like it because one can customize intervals and sounds and store a variety of settings. I started with the free version, but went to the paid version to avoid ads. There have been a couple of glitches, but the customer support has been quick to respond and fix those. Overall this app has been perfect for my purposes and has exceeded my expectations. (I make no use of the images. Maybe I would if there were more mountains and lakes. )

Great App. This app is great, absolutely no complications once you set your presets it has no complications to distract you before or after your practice/sitting. I wish it had a journal attached so I could jot down post practice notes but I can live just fine without that. Hope your meditation practice is rewarding for you and all of mankind. Peace

Simple and comprehensive. There are no unnecessary elements to this app - just a simple and complete meditation timer with options for induction, meditation and rest. No music, no guided meditation ... just silent meditation with the ability to have interval bells of varying types to your meditation. The sounds they do have are nicely recorded and work to keep you timed and grounded. My meditation practice wants us to have our minds alone set the time via intention, but this app gives me a safety valve and, on some mornings, that is a necessity.

Simple yet elegant. This app has everything I currently need in my practice. I'm using it to train for a retreat and find the different preset times to be useful. The only thing I would change is the sound effects--maybe remove the harsh ones like trains and dog bark and replace them with more peaceful sounds! Overall an elegant and navigable app.

Just the right amount of flexibility. A very nice timer for yoga and meditation. I tend to set up meditations with intervals such as four 5-minute chimes with a short preparation and warm down. By default the app does sharing (with the Health app, etc.), and I expect the developer did that to create some virality. I find the sharing a little jarring, and kindly the developer has settings to turn the sharing prompts off.

Perfect but subscription price is too high. Original review: I love this timer because it’s flexible to set up any way I like, and it turns itself off. I like the wide variety of choices in chimes, bells and gongs. UPDATE: I changed my rating from 5 stars to 2 stars. I must have bought this app a few years ago and paid a $1.99 one time fee. Today, January 8, 2023, when I opened it up I got a message that they were shifting to a monthly or yearly subscription for a much higher price. Now every time I open up the app I get a request for more money. To me, it is not worth a recurring fee and annoying to see this message. I already installed a different meditation app.

Totally customizable sessions. Obviously the bells aren’t quite the same as real bells, but as I have to do this on my own without a leader sitting there chiming away, they are good enough. You’ll find a sound or two you like well enough, and you can set different chimes for different parts of your sessions—beginning, intervals, end—at any length of time. I have about five different programs saved. Totally love it. I guess I have the paid version. I think it means I can save lots of programs and get more sounds. I’ve had this so long though I’m not really sure. Support the developers and pay. It’s worth it. Still awesome. I think I have had this 3-4 years now. (It’s 2021). I love all my programs with various exciting titles like: 15 min w/ bells every min, or 21 min w/bell every 3 min, or 10 min w/ start/end bells only. You are in control of your meditation practice.

This one does it all. This is completely customizable. You decide how long you want to meditate. Choose the bell for starting for intervals and for ending. Collected data and analyze it. Choose the picture if you want to look at one have a screen go off if you prefer that great for a sleep time in meditation. So far I have found nothing about this program I don't like and at that price it's a gift.

Great app, does just what I need for Samatha. Best meditation app available. I use it every day. (Almost) totally customizable, allowing you to set not only your meditation time, but also any preparation time and post-meditation period, with a variety of traditional-sounding bells and chimes that can be assigned to each phase, including up to one interval chime, during the season itself. Perfect for Samatha practice or for Zazen. My only request would be that they add the ability to assign more than one interval chime, which would be particularly useful for Vipassana practice, where you might like a notification every five minutes or so. Otherwise, I'd say it is pretty much perfect.

Update: bug seems to be fixed. I think this bug was fixed a while back so I’m updating this here. I think this is one of, if not the best meditation timers out there. It works just the way I want it to. I don’t use a lot of the extra features but it does exactly what I want in a meditation timer and it does it smoothly and simply. I just figured out that this app was the culprit for draining the battery rapidly on my iPhone. It seems that it isn't releasing the audio circuitry, and that drains the battery about three times as fast as it normally would!! Other than that I like the app, but I have to advise everyone to stay away from it until this bug is fixed. If you must use it, make sure to manually quit the app by swiping up on it in the task manager after each use, this will force it to stop draining the battery.

85% Great. I am quite happy with this timer with a single exception. If music is being played on my iPhone using Apple’s Music app when a meditation is started, it significantly reduces the volume of the music being played. And when the meditation ends, the original volume is restored. I teach a qigong/tai chi class where the first activity is a timed standing qigong (zhan zhuang) and the ambient playlist for the class is affected during this activity. I request a configuration option to override this default behavior.

My favorite meditation app.. This meditation timer is simple and easy to use. I like that it offers a variety of pictures and sounds. You can set up a list of potential sessions varying in length, intervals with their sounds and different beginning and ending bells. If you want a guided meditation or chanting you can listen to any one from other sources. This app does not offer teaching or guided meditations. I actually prefer it that way. You are the only one seeing your record of practice times. It does keep track of your sessions and you can write a few notes if you wish.

Works great. I’ve had no problems with this meditation timer and I’ve been using it for years. I have a few meditations I’ve set up (with different lengths, intervals, etc.) for my typical daily/weekly routine. The only feature that would make this timer better for me would be a “volume test”. Currently I always start a meditation so I can hear the volume level for the current bell then immediately end it if the volume is too loud or quiet. Then I adjust the volume and start again. If there were a button next to the start button for just testing the volume, that would help me. However, the app is configurable and the UI is straightforward enough for me to never want to look for another mediation app again. The quality and variety of bells are nice. Incidentally, I find the timer configurable enough to be useful in other practices. So I have a timer for stretching and yoga which repeatedly reminds me when to switch stretches or poses. Then a different bell signals when I’ve completed the amount of time I want to spend stretching or practicing yoga. Really nice.

Does what it is supposed to do very well. This is a very good meditation timer, has become my primary timer, and I recommend it to anyone who meditates. It syncs with Health spa, has a variety of bells to notify (but not enough, and a number of weird things like thunder or birds). Bells are a little disappointing as the duration is not to the end of the bell, as it is in some other apps; after a few seconds, the bell sound just cuts off. The app doesn’t tell you how long you meditated, just that you completed the intended time interval. But, then, I’m not entirely certain why anyone would want to track their meditation habits beyond whether or not they did meditate (as a tool to achieve daily meditations). This app does not try to sell you guided meditations, list everyone who is Meditating, post stuff on your Facebook page, or contact friends; thank goodness!!!

Almost perfect, still no doubt the best. Only issues with it for me deal with the alerts/noise. One is that you don’t get very many options for the alerts. And some of them cut off abruptly like it’s not letting the noise play out. Think of a long gong or bell noise, just stopping all of a sudden without the gradual move into silence. Another issue is that I use a separate app for noise or music (noise blockers usually which have to be loud) while meditating and putting up the volume on my phone for those things will put up the volume of the alerts! The solution I’ve found is to use a couple alerts that aren’t as loud. There should be a separate volume for the alert sounds within the app... the app entirely should have its own separate volume. The sound and alert issues are not deal breakers, one could and should work around them with an app as good as this one. Still the best meditation timer app I’ve found even with these problems. Please continue updating. Shouldn’t be too hard to at least expand and improve the selection of alerts.

Great meditation timer app. I originally downloaded the light version and loved it. It works great as a timer and the light version has some nice sounds to begin and conclude the meditation. I knew I wanted to purchase the full version, and I’m happy I did. Because it has more great sounds and allows me to customize more meditation cycles and times. Thank you for helping me take the time guessing out of my mediation practice, so I can focus on the meditation itself. And also thank you for making the light version accessible and have so much of the great functionality so that anyone can meditate!

Another subscription money grab. I paid for this app to remove ads but now the developer wants me to pay for a subscription. The right way to do this would be to release a completely new version of the app with additional features and let this current version co-exist for those of us who bought it. I refuse to pay again for something I already purchased. It’s a simple timer with sounds which doesn’t justify a subscription. I’ve already installed another app that does the same thing without a subscription. Just plain greedy.

Almost everything I’d want. After trying so many apps, this one comes the closest to what I’m looking for. I spent many years sitting Zazen in zendos and I miss the sound of the wooden Han calling us to our cushions. Having that sound available would make my home Zendo experience complete. Otherwise, this is app is wonderful in that you can program your own sequences of sounds and it records sessions to your HealthKit, but it also keeps it simple and doesn’t get caught up in a lot of extras like guided meditations, etc

Why add a subscription?. Paid for this app sometime ago and love it for what it is. It works perfectly, allows multiple timers, and has a nice simple interface. It has worked very well for me and I was glad to pay a one time fee. Imagine my surprise when I opened it today — several months after the last update — and was greeted with a message that the app is now a monthly/yearly subscription. I get development costs are increasing, but this app seems to be steady state. Not sure I will pay the subscription cost as I don’t see the value.

Excellent Meditation Tool. Always with Centering Prayer or other forms of meditation is the challenge of finding a timer that is reliable and uses gentle noises so not to be a distraction. This App is perfect in doing so, with the advantage of providing gentle 5 minute interval sounds for those who wish. Furthermore, you can choose your own sounds and preprogram different sessions to suite your tastes. I always have this App with me when I do a “sit.”

Simple and good (but not perfect). This app does mostly what I need. Overall it’s a solid product that’s intuitive and clean and doesn’t try to sell you on expensive and mostly useless motivational content with outrageous monthly fees. One problem is if I end the meditation early it won't last log my time in the Health app, so my records will be wrong. Why does it insist on completing the timed session? I wanted to use the Apple Watch app, but it seems to be just a remote control. The chiming only occurs on the phone so you have to keep it with you anyway, which limits the usefulness of the Watch app. Can you vibrate the watch?

Perfect. The Meditation Timer has all the features I need and more! A wide choice of bells and chimes; and options for time intervals before, during, and after my meditation. I can set up several different schemes easily and then just choose the one I want for my current circumstances. Great background images, too. This one is a winner in my book.

Does exactly what I need. I just want an app to assist me with my Transcendental Meditation based practice. I have done this meditation practice for nearly 50 years, so I admit it has changed some with additional experience. I like this app because It assists me with meditation times, using appropriate bells. There are plenty of choices in bell sounds. It keeps track of meditation in its own app, but it also transfers my dates and times to my iHealth folder. I have used several others. For my meditation practice, this has been the best by far.

Very happy with this app. It is so flexible with so many options in setting up my meditations. I created several timers to fit different situations - with and without the tones, different meditation times, different screens. And the fact that my meditations are captured by my iPhone’s health app allows me to see how often I was able to meditate twice in a day.

Clean and uncluttered. Clean and Uncluttered meditation timer. The sounds are nice and clear and sound like the real bells. Great option for interval, though i wish there was a way to set more than one interval so i don’t have to reset the timer when moving from meditation to pranayama to resting. Definitely my go-to meditation app. Absolutely worth the price to avoid ads with sound blaring out just as you're completing meditation.

A wonderful app. I use this app in my daily sessions. I like the ability to adjust the sounds as well as the interval time. The ability to keep note after each siting is also very useful; one can track any changes in the journey. Highly recommended for its simplicity but elegantly fulfilling basic needs.

Wonderful app. Using it for last 7-8 years and still great. The flexibility in configuring your own meditation is amazing. All the features that are needed such as reminders and various tones are very helpful. Ability to add your own music would make this app perfect for any meditation. The collected history provides you a gauge of your progress in your practice. Sincere gratitude to the developers.

Beginner meditation help. I just started meditating and my mind wanders like crazy. This app is cool because it plays a Tibetan bowl sound (there are several sounds to choose from) at certain intervals (I chose every 30 seconds) during my meditation and helps me to re-center and stay grounded a little bit. I paid the $1.99 or whatever it was to upgrade to the paid version and it offers a larger selection of different sounds to play, which is nice. I recommend this app.

Mostly Works!. Using this on an iPhone 6S and love it. Very complete-seeming after reading reviews of several meditation timers. I agree that some of the sounds are utterly out of place in an app like this. Not sure who’s need is met with some and would like more chime-type options. Not a problem if that never happens. The variability and options make this great for me. On the iPad Mini 4 this app has a hard time. Either there are no chime sounds, chimes ring repeatedly, (yeah, like over and over), or it won’t run a saved/titled meditation at all. Now sometimes it does work on the iPad, but I’ve given up on that device with this app. BTW, I’m not having trouble with any other app on it. Would also prefer to use the app on the iPad to save on phone battery use. So I use it on the phone. Oh, and please note: it’s true that if you don’t close the app after use, it will continue to use up your battery. That said, love it.

Almost perfect. The multi-timer functionality is a great idea for various meditations lengths with a single touch (after setup of course). Like others have mentioned, the sounds could use some work, but i found some that work fine. Manually put the phone in do not disturb mode, so it would be nice if it would do that during a session. I would recommend it for anybody needing a meditation timer with more features than the built in iOS timer.

Great functionality but needs a facelift. This app works beautifully, and gives lots of options for customization and ways to create pre-sets that are a perfect match for my needs. However the chime and tone options are not as good as the previous version, and there's a poor range of options for the tone. Some are rather jarring which is not a great way to end my meditation. The visuals could also be greatly improved. Plain brown background is boring and "blah." Not an uplifting and inspiring way to start my day. I also imported my own background pictures into the previous version because the choices they give are limited and not very appealing. But they didn't transfer over from the free version so I have to find and enter them all again. Functionally, it's a wonderful app and I use it every day, but it would be great if you could get a good graphic designer to give it a facelift and also fix the sound options.

Money grab. I paid a one time fee and was happy to for the pro version, but now they’re making an obvious money grab and forcing users to switch to a subscription model. Are they adding any value when forcing us to suddenly pay more for the same app? OF COURSE NOT! They just decided to jump on the bandwagon and get more income on an app that is rarely (ever?) updated. My previous 5* rating immediately falls to 1* when users are taken advantage of like this. Deleting when they remove the ability to close the update window.

Annoying rating nag. Still broken. Still nagging me to rate. The latest update seems to have given the app a few annoying issues. First, when clicking any of the buttons there's nearly a full second delay on my iPhone CE before it registers. Also, they added an annoying rating nag. Well, here you go guys, I'm rating your app. There's still no way to set a vibrating alarm on a per timer basis. I have to go into settings every time I want to switch between a quiet vibration and one of the sounds. As far as I can tell, there's no option for a solid background. All the backgrounds are very busy and often the text is hard to see because of that. The most annoying new issue though, is that the app stops running occasionally in the background now. It's not very useful as a timer if I half-hour later I look down to see what's going on and my 15 minute timer has stopped at 12 minutes.

Perfect!. June 2020 Updated review: still one of my most used apps. Love that I can use my own photos. Would love new bells but cant think of any other features to add. I love this app. It is extremely useful to me for many timed activities. As others have mentioned, the quality of the sounds is lower than I'd like. I'd also like the flexibly to choose one background photo rather than rotate thru several. That said... Love this app! Updated review: The recent updates in the pro version make me very happy! It's perfect.

Just what this app should be.. Exactly the app a person would think would be useful. Programmable, and logs showing a persons “progress” (the most western concept ever). Maybe fading the bells all the way down to silence, if I was going to offer an improvement, is about all I could think of; you can hear them abruptly end if you are attentive, and watching them fade to silence is a useful meditative technique. Nitpick level 8 achieved...

This continues to be my favorite meditation app! I've been using this app for years!. I like the choice of sounds and the ability to program just what I want for a layered meditation practice. I've tried other apps but this one is my favorite. I recently discovered that I can change the background photo which is also a nice touch. Thanks!

Does what it’s supposed to well.. I’ve used this for a while now. It’s simple, no bells and whistles...besides meditation bells. I like the prep timer. It could use a few more sounds, maybe a preparation timer inside the countdown. For example: if doing yoga, the ability to set a 5 or 10 second translation timer every 30 or 45 or 60 seconds. But that’s not that just an extra perk. Get it. It works.

Use everyday. I have had this app for about 4 years and use it everyday. It is also used for a weekly meditation meeting. I particularly like having more than one meditation time stored for easy access. Sounds used are also varied and great! Please note that phone can be silenced, and app audio still works, allowing non interrupted use during meditation.

Easy to use. This app makes it easy to create custom meditation timers. I created a handful of different meditations for my self-guided practice. I created meditations of various lengths with interval bells that ring to help me stay on track and not drift off for too long. I would give it 5 stars if I were able to choose a custom time for each bell, rather than only getting to choose the interval for the bells (i.e. every 2 minutes).

Highly recommended. I've been meditating for over 40 years and was very slow to jump on the app bandwagon. When I decided to try, I downloaded in excess of 15 meditation apps and tried them all. I must honestly write that this is been the most nonintrusive and assistive of all that I've tried. Highly recommended by a long-term meditator, well done!

Love this app!. I have been using this app for over 6 years now. I love the historical logs, how they sync with the Health app on my Apple devices and how different meditation sessions can be easily programmed including rest periods and reminder bells. Only feature I would add is being able to create reminder bells at different intervals on the same sessions (vs always set to every x minutes)

Welcome to your Self-Discovery…. We all search for tools to guide us to ourselves. The right tools to ensure that “inner peace” doesn’t remain a pleasant refrain, only echoed by others on a similar quest. Well, friend, you’ve found one that I recommend you tuck quickly into your tool chest. This app, while simple, is just that. Everything you need to set the space and time for your inner journey, and nothing more. And why should it be? WE are the spiritual adventurers. We could even time ourselves with our own minds, but who would call us back to the here and now so pleasantly? With graceful chimes and tones to call you back, you can expect to descend from the cloud of your Self awareness more like a raindrop on a gentle breeze than a wrench dropped by an astronaut. Customizable, saveable meditation time sessions and more await you. Delay no longer. Download this and begin your journey to the center of your heart. Trust me…it’s going to be #&€%ing incredible. PS, pay for the no-ads. It’s worth it. You’re worth it.

Meditation Timer. This has the potential to be an excellent meditation timer. It has the potential to allow for someone to time segments of their meditation time which is rare. One can sit for extended periods such as two or more hours then have a tone to signal switching to a second segment for another period of time. The winds can be tailored So why the low rating. Setting what one wants is confusing. I reached out to those who distribute this app and received NO help. They recommended another app??? Really ? The app they recommended had limited options and wanted all kinds of personal information. Not good😒. It would be nice to have more soothing sounds to choose from. I don’t like that the screen background changes some have a very negative impression. A third thing is that for the longest interval the tone is not defined or loud enough and I miss the signal to change. So sad that developers are not more user friendly.

Simple and Elegant. I am getting back into meditating after a ten year hiatus. Goodness, has technology changed in meditation apps! I had one before that was just a timer with a bell and a way to chat with people who had just finished meditating—great app, but it is no more. I needed something that would help my meditation practice but not detract. This has nice bells, good customization, and pretty pictures you can put on the back of the timers so you see, for example, a relaxing woodlands scene before and after meditating. It doesn’t have anything you don’t need to just sit in mindfulness. If I were you, I would give it a try, then enjoy being more present to life.

Meditation app. This app does everything it’s needed for, and the chimes are lovely.

All you need in a meditation timer. Great choice of chimes, you can set different timers if you like doing different lengths of meditations. Integrates with health app. It would be great if you could choose different times for mid-meditation chimes but still worth 5*s without it.

Favourite meditation timer. This is my Go To app for meditation timing. I like its customisability and the sounds of it's bells. It is simple and easy to use. I wish it synced with Fit mBit but it does synch with Apple Health.

Venerable Vigorous. Keeps me focused on the present

Excellent. Simple to use. Good range of bells and gongs. Very flexible timing options. An excellent app to sit by.

Simple and easy. Just enough features, not too many that clutter it up.

Great Timer. A simple Meditation Timer that allows easy configuration to meet my needs, best in the App Store

Very useful but........ Very liable and plenty of features The log feature need to improved in terms of it including the title of the session otherwise it’s hard to decipher what you did on a specific date

Very useful app. Provides great support for my meditation practice

Excellent meditation timer. I’ve been using the meditation time for years. It is simple and works very well. Highly recommended.

Very flexible. Have stored many different settings for a range of practices. Use it daily.

Does what it says.. A straightforward, simple to use meditation timer. Have been it using for more than 2 years. Plenty of choices without superfluous bells and whistles. A great aid to establishing and maintaining a regular meditation practice.

Just right. A tool that has just the right features needed to help with my meditation practice. Simple and elegant.

Easy and lovely to use. A simple and easy to use app with nice sound.

Great Timer. A really great meditation timer and I use it every day. Especially good to set your own timers and sounds and photos. Keep up the good work on this great timer.

Awesome!. I love this app!

I use this app daily. This app does everything I need to time my meditations and yoga practices. Works well for kundalini yoga to set various times.

Nice little app for meditation. Highly recommended

Great app but. Until latest update 4 weeks ago this app worked seamlessly and was a great addition to my meditation program but since the update 4 weeks ago the app has developed a bug which stops it from completing its cycle

Love this app!!. Very easy to use! I love that I can set different lengths of time with different intervals and customise them accordingly. Use it every day!

Perfect app for meditation. This is a very simple yet great app for meditation where you can set your custom ones. Unfortunately it has not been updated for iPhone X. I hope it gets an update soon.

Has many uses. Well designed app that works perfectly. I use it for meditation. And also keeping track on the time I spend playing video games. Life is about being in the moment. And this app helps.

Love it .... Use it every morning for yoga and meditation ... I smile everytime I hear the bird call (one of the many sounds available) after my yoga session

I use it every day.. I use this app daily. Very simple and easy to use. I love that you can customise intervals. BUT. I wish you could add more intervals. My meditation practise involves me setting my attention on chakras. It would be great to have 7 interval bells. I know I can set the prep time and end time as intervals . But it’s not quite enough. The app still rates 5 stars from me though :)

Meditation timer.. Great app for meditation, many different customisable settings fir different times. Easy to use. I have had great success with this app. Highly recommended.

Brilliant app. I use this every day for meditation and yoga.

Part of my day for years now. Excellent. Does its job reliably and elegantly.

Uncluttered and very userfriendly. I find this app very versatile and easy to use. It accomodates for a variety of different configurations and possibilities. The best for my needs.....very very unintrusive Fr Victor

Easy and functional. I find this app so easy to use. I have about 7 different meditations set up for various time frames. Now all I have to do is open the app and pick the appropriate one and meditate.

Good but a bit buggy. It’s a simple great app which I use everyday but it was some annoying quirks. Sometimes the timer just stops working. Perhaps that’s a feature to keep you on your toes... 😋 Happened the first time I used the free and paid app and then a handful of times after that.

Good app. Simple and works. Has everything you need. Bit clunky and outdated but does what you need when meditating. Could do with an update. Tracks your usage/statistics.

Outstanding meditation app. This is an excellent meditation app and I would recommend it for anyone who needs help to keep time while they are meditating. That is everyone really. I have been meditating regularly for 25 years. I kept time by peeking at my clock radio. I have stopped doing that since I started using this app. More than worth the money used to buy the app. Drop everything and go and get it. You will not be disappointed. Sincerely yours, John Candido.

Best of kind. I tried several before settling on this. It has been excellent.

Perfect. Simple, easy, clear bell sound. Paid version definitely worth it for no ads and more control.

Best I have found. Even so, some improvements could be made: Increase the maximum time limit (which is 59:59 at the moment although technically it can be extended 1 hour before and 1 hour after without intervals). Ability to make interval timers more customisable (at the moment, interval timers can only be set to one set time, it would nice to be able to have timers go off at various specific times i.e. timer 1 - 2:00min, timer 2 15:00min, etc). Also, it would be good to be able to adjust the timers by increments of less than 5 seconds. More sounds! All in all though, this is a great app for its intended purpose and despite the criticisms, I highly recommend it.

Need off line capability. Would have rated this app 5stars if I could use it without data. I travel quite a bit for work and I don’t always have global roaming. I’d love to use this apps timer to silently meditate on a plane and have the watch tap my wrist to notify me that I need to do my 2mins wind down post meditation. If this is possible that would great. Marc

Simple and Effective. Thank you

4 years use, great app. It’s not the sleekest interface, but I have been using this for the past 4 years pretty much everyday. Could sure use some tweaks but still great all the same

Track your meditation sessions. This is ap is great for tracking your meditation. You can set up sessions of different times. Time is given for set up and sounds can be adjusted. It’s simple and effective.

Great app. Have been using this for years and it does everything without being cluttered with unnecessary options. Perfect

Works very well. The app works. I sit several times most days. I like the fit with the health app and the the bell sound. Five stars! It’s part of my life now. Note: it is now I think expensive for what it is.

Good app, overpriced. To make this into a subscription app is a bit greedy. It works well enough, and is designed pretty well but it’s not worth a subscription. One time payment would be better.

Worth the (small) price. I used the free version for years, which made graduating to this very easy. Simple, does what it says, just flexible enough without distracting extras. Highly recommended if you want an intuitive meditation timer.

Excellent, simple interface, very easy to use. Very thoughtfully designed app for mediation. Well laid out for easy intuitive use. Setting personal meditation sessions is simple and flexible. Tone options and lovely.

Perfect. Plenty of ways to customise the timer. This has been a great help to keeping my meditation habit regular.

Meditation Timer. Great simple little app. Been using it for years

Flexibility plus. Allows me to design my meditation just the way I like it.

Perfectly simple meditation timer. If you are seeking a simple, easy to use but also configurable meditation timer, look no further! It is thoughtful, well designed apps like these that make the App Store such a terrific resource (that also cost less than a cup of coffee).

Thank you!. 😊👍🏼🦋

Great app. Use it every day. Can adjust to however you want to meditate and intervals very useful. Also links to health app too.

Good app. Good standard meditation app would recommend

Excellent. I don't consider myself an expert judge of meditation timers but this serves my needs perfectly. I moved up to the paid version so that I could have different length meditations with different parameters.

Good tool. Simple and useful! Worth a try but the one without the advertisement!!!!

Excellent app!. Simply perfect!

Abonnement. J’ai acheté la version complète il y’a 6 ans et maintenant on me demande de payer en plus un abonnement. Même si peu cher c’est pas vraiment correct.

All functionalities are there for a good and smart meditation.. Sound Instruments are very good quality. Very easy to set. It will be pleasant to have the watch app working on itself and not depend on the iPhone for chimes.

I gift. This meditation timer has been just wonderful. It has helped me meditate every morning. I now have the daily habit of meditating. This timer is simple to use and elegant in style. Purchasing the ad free version was absolutely worth it. Thank you for this gift.

Use it every day. This app makes it easier for me to maintain my meditation practice.

Quite amazing. I don't usually spend money on apps, but this is simply amazing. Not only I can set timers with intervals, but they keep track of my practice every day. The gentle sound of alarm is great too, for it is not intrusive during meditation. I'm beyond satisfied with this app.

Simple and easy. Only use a little of this functionality and it works for me

Meditation. Lots of bells and chimes to choose from. Tracks sit times and other stats if you want that feature.

Perfect. An important tool for meditation. Simple , precise and up to its task. Thank you

Love it!!. I’ve been using this timer for years and I recommend it to all my students. It is perfect for anyone here to practice their meditation - I love that there isn’t uploaded meditations or talks or distractions… I’m here to meditate (TM) and I’m not interested in all the distractions you find in other apps (we have enough of that everywhere).

Simple. Effective.. This is my go-to for silent meditation. I like to set regular bells that help me pace the time and also bring me back if thoughts run away. Nice sounds. Well designed.

Does as advertised. I have tried several meditation timers. Liked this one the best. Simple to set up and use. Not flashy; just functional

Awesome app!. Simple, easy to use, and works very well! I would highly recommend this app to help you in your journey of developing a mindfulness practice.

Great meditation app. It works great! I love that I can pre-set mediation times for quick ones or longer ones. The music and gong bell is simple and soothing.

Don’t change!. It does everything I want it to. Times the meditation, saves the data to track trends, transfer data to my health app, create times, etc

Fantastic app. This app works exactly how it should. The flexibility it has makes it easy to create your own meditation programs. Love it!

Very useful. I have been practising Transcendental Meditation for 60 years. With the arrival of this meditation timer any concerns out over or under meditating have been eliminated. I sent 30 seconds to get settled, 20 minutes timer for meditation and 3 minutes to that time for my metabolism to speed up gently. Thank you! Jim

Great yoga set & meditation timer!. It's perfect! Prep, timer, interval, breath-hold. Wow - what a great aid to a yoga & meditation set. I use the timers frequently during yoga sets, and for my daily meditation. It is so fantastic we have started using it in our life drawing class to time the models poses. The sounds of bells and bowls and tingshas are wonderful. The only thing I wish for is the ability to change the order of the various timers on the homepage so that I could have the timers going from shortest to longest. Other than that very minor wish, it is a great app that I cannot speak highly enough about. I recommend this app to everybody. Terrific work, guys!

I don’t want to pay twice. I bought this a couple of years ago. I liked it a lot. Now I am being forced to pay a rental fee. I really resent this. I will delete it. I sure removes to peace of meditation.

Great app to keep track of your meditations!. I use this app every day for my meditation!

Best choice. Pay option is a very good manipulative timer, can be set for no thrills or needing social interaction etc. Best meditation app for iPhone in my very extensive search. Sounds are very good but slightly weaker than one other popular buyable (that is more of a pain) timer I used to use but better than all others I have tested. Overall best choice for someone who meditates more than just a very little and doesn’t need guidance although that is an available choice. S.

Wonderful. This easy to use, but highly customizable, meditation app is the perfect meditation companion.

Thumbs up. Helps the sitting effortlessly Use it daily.

Ding!. Works great. Stay present. I would give it 5 stars, but the icon doesn't work properly on my iPad. A year or so later, great app. 4.9 stars. (Icon still doesn’t work...) (Dec 13, 19 still doesn’t work) otherwise great!

Me permet de méditer, peu importe l'endroit où je suis. J'ai maintenant cette application dans mon téléphone depuis plus de 3 ans et cela a bien soutenu mon désir de pratiquer régulièrement, au quotidien, des séances qui sont de 20 - 30 minutes, ponctuées par des clochettes aux 10 minutes, histoire de rendre le mental un peu plus patient dans cette pratique immobilisée !

Love it!. Simple and does what it says without spamming you for more. I love it!

Love this app. Easily adjustable settings, pleasant alarm sounds.

Best timer app without excessive distracting features. This app is fully customizable, works great, rings even when the screen is locked, is affordable and has no excessive unrelated features. Thank you for the great timer!

DT. An excellent tool for creating a variety of meditation practice sessions.

Perfect!. This app gives you all you need for a mindful meditation.

Clean, clear, no bloatware😀. Finally, a meditation app that does exactly what it’s supposed to do very easy to set up and no unnecessary extras.

A great little app. I have been using this app for years. I love it! Helps keep me accountable when I am in my practice. Thumbs up.

Meditation Timer. Exactly what is needed. Has all of the functions and variables needed for an easy and undisturbed meditation.

Excellent tool for timing and keeping track. I wish there was a way to adjust the time between starting gong strikes to align with individual timing of the starting movements in a meditation. Currently, the short tones are too short and the long tones are too long. Great tool with an opportunity for further improvement.

Great App. Easy to set the timer. Good Options!!

Simple and practical. It is as advertised and it works for me

Great app for meditation. Been using it for some years now and I’ve grown very comfortable with it. Nice elegant timer that lets you focus on meditation. Appreciate the stats as well that keeps one motivated. Great app - definitely recommended.

Meditation Timer. Simple but all you need.

Good for iPhone and iPad, but Apple Watch app could be better. The phone/tablet app is perfect period. However, I don’t get the point of the Watch app if all it does is control the app on my phone. You have a real chance to make your app the best in the world for the Apple Watch. Others out there are extremely limited in functionality. Let me open a meditation from my watch and play sounds, haptic feedback on the watch. Otherwise why would someone want to use the watch app if they need their phone beside them to hear the sounds?

Great app. Not only do I use this for my meditation and my yoga, but also for my treadmill walk to keep track of my timed increments.

Great timer calm and simple. Does what you want it to do. Many different bell types, and interval options. No unnecessary stuff to sell you more things like the other apps do.

Paid for app but keep getting pop up for subscription add-on. Annoying pop up to subscribe for “premium” version of app that I already paid for.

Simple, elegant and efficient. Does exactly what it is says.

Very efficient app. Very efficient app Simple to use and helps you stay motivated in your practice

best meditation timer. have try many mediation apps. This is the most functional one without stuffs i dont need. it offers everything i need for unguided meditations. highly recommended.

Was my goto Meditation Timer for years. I used this app for well over 5 years, however the owner made it subscription based recently and that lost my use of it entirely. Still great for what its meant for, however im not down for the subscription after years of use and already paying for the 'Permanent' Pro version

Better Than Free. I used the free version for a few years. I liked it, then I bought the full version! Night and day! The best thing Ever! Now meditations load into Health automatically, no advertising, I can focus on the meditation. Well worth it!

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

Fantastic and Simple. This is a great meditation timer. It’s simple, streamlined, and still lets you keep track of your meditation via logs and statistics, but it isn’t distracting with meditation offerings and other unnecessary bells and whistles. For anyone just looking for a timer - this is an excellent app.

Meditation timer is my meditation friend. Meditating is simple, and this timer is just as simple. You can easily create different timed meditations. If you want more configurations you can change the timing of the bells, bell sounds, etc. I use it every time I sit.

A Flexible Does-It-All Timer. I’ve meditated for 45 years and used about every timer available. Though a watch timer is fine and Alexa is easy, this one has the flexibility to set interim timers for different types of meditation. You need to get creative sometimes—but it works and saves the various timings you need.

Wonderful app.. This app works perfect for the kind of meditation I do, which involves three segments that follow each other in succession and each is a different length of time. This app is easy to set up to do that and is flawless in its operation. I love it. I have tried several meditation timer apps and this one is by far the best.

Meditation time. Like the preparation time and finishing time features. The app occasionally freezes and loses the time, going back to the beginning. Would love to have a set of background sounds to choose from, to mask the ambient sound. Suggestions for forest sounds, water sounds, other soundscapes would complete a very useful application.

Needs Automatic Icloud Sync. You have to manually upload to iCloud, then restore to sync your devices. This should be automatic. Additionally, the icon on the iPad Air isn’t populating. Also, the iPad version should simply fir the iPad. Right now, you have to purchase the iPad version for this, and most developers simply provide a universal app that fits each device as it should. With this version, it is the phone version that populates the iPad. Finally, landscape mode should be an option. Right now, there is only portrait. Badly needs an update to modernize outdated specs.

Good Meditation and yoga timer. They have worked out the design. I have been using it for years with my practice. I use it for timed Kriya and meditation. I wish the graphics were easier to read, the type and type size should be bolder or have an option to do so. The background should be easy to change. The timing sequence should be be simpler sometimes a meditation just wants a start and finish bell.

Simple, all you need. Basically a timer with added chimes, bowls, bells in order to create the soundscape you want. Useful if you’re accustomed to a meditation practice with such sounds. I used the freemium version for 4 months then upgraded to get rid of ads. Worth it I think. Paid version gives you custom preset timers. simple, useful.

Easy easy to use, flexible, great variety of sound chimes. Well worth the few bucks to graduate from the free version. I use it for my own meditation practice, and also for my women’s spiritual growth group, to start and close the 10 minutes of silence that begins our meetings. They love the bell chime, and no one has to watch a clock.

Perfect. This meditation app is simple to use and is just what it says it is: an app to time your meditations sessions. There’s flexibility in sounds and pictures and timing that’s easy to set up. If you want guided meditations, this isn’t that. But for a timer, I find it to be perfect.

Best bet. Very Flexible yet simple to use. The ability to set any preparation, session, intra-session “reminder sounds, as well as rest times is super. A limited number of bells-chimes-gongs, but enough. The ability to select individual, different sounds for starting, interval and ending sounds rounds out this gimmick-free app.

Good Meditation App. I’ve used this app for 8 years. It’s nice to keep track of your meditation practice and making timers that fit your needs is simple. Once I maxed out of my free meditation quantity, I was a little bummed, but it was worth the yearly subscription (maybe $10) to keep it going. Max was like 1500 meditation sessions! May you be well 🙏🏼

Good App. Good app for when you need different signals or bells during meditation or Kriya yoga. I also like that it keeps track of your meditation sessions, but it would be super helpful if one were able to edit this information. I don’t always use this app for every meditation so I would like to be able to enter in my own data. All around though it’s great for what I am needing .

Everything it needs to be. I’ve been using this Meditation Timer consistently for a couple of years and haven’t experienced any issues. It’s easy to get started, setup custom timers, and just plain simple to use. A great product without any hassles. Thanks for making things easy!

Nice Tool For Sitting With The Breath. Highly recommended. I can set specific meditation timeframes with choice of backgrounds (although not sure why, since eyes are typically going to be closed), bell tones (thin bells to heavy gongs), and the ability to set durations. It integrates well with Apple Health app (if that's your thing), and it's easy to use the Apple Watch app.

Meditation Timer is wonderful!. I love that I can set different times for the pre-meditation, the actual meditation & then the post-meditation. I can set different tones for each segment. I can even share my time with my health app. It also works on my Apple Watch. Lastly, I can set a reminder to meditate. It’s absolutely worth your while to get this app.

Easy to use. The only meditation app I use. It has just enough features without over-complicating it. I love having my total meditation time history. There was one glitch related to time zones, and the developers were very responsive in helping to fix it. It merits Home Screen placement on my phone for 5+ years.

Best mediation app.... ...and I’ve tried every. single. one. for iPhone/iPad. It has a pleasingly simple interface but doesn’t sacrifice functionality, and offerers full customization. Plus some the tones offered actually sound like they die away naturally rather cutting off suddenly. That alone is worth 5 stars. As a daily practitioner of insight mediation, I rely on this app to help me sit on good days and bad.

Grateful. This meditation timer is very simple to use but has multiple options. I have several different timers set for various purposes. I have tried several other apps in the past, this one far surpasses the others. I gratefully use it daily.

2016 days. Been using the app for many years. 2016 days according to the stat tracker within the app. Like the features (esp the stat feature). Solid variety of chimes bells and others. Overall its simplicity helps not distract and stay focused on sitting versus playing with or figuring out the app.

Love it!. I have used this timer everyday for years. I love it’s simplicity and that it logs my time which I can feed to my Health app if I want to. I mostly use it for meditation, but I have used it for timing other things since the gong is soothing to me.

Nice and basic. Just what I need to time my sitting meditation at home. Minimal and nicely so. Only problem is that recently bell sounds developed a sort of stutter. I’ve contacted developer to see what’s up with this. May just be phone thing, not app. Still giving 5 stars because it’s been useful and trouble free for over a year.

Great, simple meditation app. I love the simplicity of this app. I set up several different programs up with varying lengths, chimes, etc. Now it’s simple to sit down, pick the one I want, and have a lovely meditation. I'm not into tracking or social media, so I don't use any of those other features. I'm really happy with this as a simple, dependable meditation timer.

Simple yet powerful. A simple timer, but I love the tracking you get with the paid version. It has been holding me accountable for nightly meditations. I also like all of the sound options and the reminder function. All of the options are definitely worth the $0.99.

Just what the teacher ordered!. My meditation teacher recommended this timer to me. It’s very simple to use and offers a variety of options so you can set up multiple meditation segments depending on how much time you may have. Very easy to use! Have to go meditate now :)

Just the right features, easy to use. Very easy to program the timer or several timers for different situations. The feature to set a premeditation, and also a post meditation timer is very useful.

Best for TM. The Pro version is worth it.. I tried 10-15 meditation apps and find this to be the best for TM. I started with the free version, which is fine, but hate the ads. The Pro version gets rid of the ads and also has more control over settings. Very simple to use. It connects to Apple Health and also has its own tracker. It also allows you to create multiple timers, though I don’t use this feature. One improvement that it could use: add an auto-dim during mediation option. Other apps have this and it’s something I do manually all the time anyway. Glad I sprang for the two bucks.

Nice Improvement. I use this app twice each day. The last update sets the volume internal to the app rather than using the level left over from playing music. Very nice improvement!

Incredibly good. It is customizable to meet your needs with rest timers, non-intrusive sounds. This app has truly helped me in my practice. It is easy to use and I recommend it to those just beginning to meditate and those looking to enhance their experience.

Good value, easy to use. If you’re looking for a meditation timer and you don’t want guided meditation features, this is pretty good, the best I’ve found. It’s easy to use, though the sound quality could be better.

Does as advertised. I use this app regularly to help me manage my meditation practice - the various Kerr’s really help me so that I don’t “watch the clock” when meditating. Like the wide choice of sounds and the ability to define different sequences for my practice. What I’d like to see: - automatic pause of the countdown when the phone rings. As it is, when I get (and answer a call), the timer keeps going and it’s awkward to pause it - variable times / more complex timing sequences. I can set the overall time and an interval time, but can’t set variable time intervals. - better interface to my Iwatch. It would be great to be able to start a sequence from my watch.

Mostly love it.. The app on the phone is great. It helps me be more consistent. My type a still needs my quiet time logged. The Apple Watch app is a bit weird. Seems to stop working occasionally. Over all this is a great way to discipline toward a consistent and life changing practice of silent meditation.

Almost perfect. I used for a long time. It is probably the best meditation timer out there. But… I’m a former iOS developer and I understand the costs involved in making apps. But $10/year is really on the high side. But that’s not why it is only 4 stars. The sounds! Especially for a paid app the library of included bell sounds be much larger.

TM. This app is great for people who do TM. It has several interval timers so you can set your 30 second, 20 minute, and 2 minute timers. It includes some nice soothing alarms that will not startle you. I’ve been using this app for more than a year and I totally recommend this timer.

Simple, flexible, appealing. I use this timer regularly for meditation and other tasks that I may want to time, like work periods. It’s very easy to use, and easy to use a variety of time periods and interval notifications. I am very happy with this timer.

Been using this for years. This is a handy app for any one who meditates. I have mine setup for four different times depending on the day and time. This app also keeps stats on you practice, which seems funny for a meditation app. Oh well. I use this daily. Highly recommended.

Clean and simple. Customizable, but nothing fancy. It’s basically an upgraded timer with tastefully selected background images and interval tones. The in-app purchases are worth it. Updates have been available when necessary. Exactly what I want in a meditation app.

Simple and exactly what I hoped for!. Very simple and flexible. I use this every morning for my meditation practice... The ability to set the reminders through the period helps me bring my focus back to the moment.

Best So Far. I found it very easy to set up my preferred sequence, thirty seconds for pranayama, meditation, and rest period, each announced by a pleasing gong. I haven’t tried anything more challenging, but for me it’s perfect. I wouldn’t mind a few more background options, but my eyes are closed so that’s far from crucial.

A great companion. This app allows you to set a time for your meditation, and records the history of your sessions. It helps you check your progress - although sitting longer does not necessarily mean that you are a good meditator, it helps at least you build patience in the beginning stage of meditation.

Simple and Beautifully Designed. There are many meditation apps that base spirituality on consumerism and splashy graphics. This one is simple. It has good sound options for starting and ending the session, and overall helps my practice.

good, reliable, and easy to set. i’ve been using this meditation timer now for years. I like it and continue to prefer it over others. It does a good job of tracking your history. I also like that you can edit the history.

Lost Sound. I have used this app for at least a year. How ever about a week ago it stopped demonstrating the bells, gongs and other sounds you program to sound between each meditation intervals. It leaves me guessing about each bell sounds like.

Love it!. Took a minute to make sure I had everything set correctly, but it's everything I need. Nothing more nothing less. I also really appreciate that when I reached out with questions about privacy the response was timely and got right to the point.

Very good- useful. I use this app most days. I like the configurable bells & gongs & times. Also, it automatically connects to the health app so data is saved for a history of my meditation times. I need it and hope it is updated when Apple makes changes.

Meditation timer. I like this timer a lot. I do have one suggestion for improvement. There is a practice that I do every day that takes 21 minutes. I always completed to the end. But I always get the error message about “failed.” It’s a discouraging word to look at Especially when I am successful.

Excellent App. I really, really like this app. It’s user friendly and easy to maneuver. I primarily use one setting twice a day, but the options to customize them all are exceptional. I also like that it will record your meditation in the health app so you can track it. Big thumbs up.

Monthly Fees But I already bought the app!?. Bad. You don’t sell an app and then later decide to charge a monthly fee. The app is decent but I am deleting it now because of this. I can just go back to using the timer on my phone. I’m still giving it 5 stars because the app is good.

Great app. I have had and used the free version of this app for several years. It works without issue, unlike some other apps I’ve had. I recently bought the Pro version which was unbelievably cheap. I like the additional options of multiple timers and more sounds. It’s a great app and I highly recommend if you meditate and/or teach yoga.

Best meditation app. This app for Meditation has been amazing over the past two years. You can set several different times for different daily meditation. There's never been a glitch and the sounds that accompany are very nice and subtle to bring you out of your meditation. This app!
