Very clean & simple. I appreciate whoever built this app for providing most of what I wanted - something elegant, simple, and pretty easy to use. I love the chime sound option, the ways it can be customized, and the lack of fluff. The only thing I can’t figure out is: How can I create more than one program, so I have different session lengths to choose from? I also don’t understand the “report” the app offers to send at the end of each session, so I just cancel it. The app might benefit from a little bit of explanation in that regard. But, thanks! I use it everyday.

Good for TM. When I first started practicing TM, I wore a watch. Like most people, I rarely do anymore because I have my iPhone. This app obviates the need to wonder how much time I have left, which allows me to focus on meditation until I hear the bell. FYI, I had gotten out of the habit, but anyone who studies leadership these days will find that meditation is important. Bill George, former CEO of Medtronic and a Harvard Business School professor, is a practitioner; listening to him convinced me to resume, and this app is perfect (but do get "checked" by a teacher if you've fallen out of practice).

No ad music please. The app is fine. I know that putting up with ads is what the internet is about but when the meditation is over and there's that lovely ding, there shouldn't be an ad immediately after that suddenly blasts music. Unacceptable. I spend an hour calming my mind and then to be jarred into the real world by ad music is rude and annoying. It doesn't happen everytime but even once is too much. accept for that the app is fine.

Simple. Useful. Wonderful.. I’ve been using this app for years after a good friend recommended it. I started my mediation practice 3 minutes a day which felt impossible. With the help of the app I now mediate 20-60 minutes a day. A timer makes it possible to let go of the minds hold on time and go deeper into practice.

Easy and unobtrusive. Touch the app. Touch the start arrow and you can meditate. I have been using this for at least two years almost every day. I can't imagine anything that could be done to improve it. Two years later : all of the above is still true. I am different, however, because meditation almost every day changes my mind and heart.

Great Trainer in Meditation. I really enjoy this timer. In true meditation, one is not supposed to use a timer, it is to be the inner body/soul that is to be used for timing. I love the intention, but I’m a schedule, people! This allows me to get in meditation in my busy schedule. I know that I’ve allotted 15 minutes, 20 minutes, or even just 5 minutes....I’m getting a meditation in and I don’t have to keep one eye opened (so to speak) on the clock...the meditation timer does it for me. It allows me to set the time for getting relaxed for the meditation, then the meditation time itself, and the closing timer to come out of the meditation in a gentle way.

Excellent tool. I added an update that will make this App the optimal choice. This App has great options for sounds and settings. This suggestion will improve a person’s experience. At this time, I can set sound that works best for me. I can set the timer for the length of time to meditate. There’s an intermediate option that I can set the sound of my choice, this reminds me to gently let a thought go without judgement; then focus on my breathing. My update idea is to add the ability to set more than one bell sound at different times; for example every 8 minutes to alert me to focus on my breathing as it’s natural for thoughts to come. The option would be to set the bell at the time that best fits one’s need. It’s simply a reminder to breath. My thought is about 8-10 minutes. It would need to be an additional setting related to to fit one’s needs some may want it 2 times others 3-4 times or at different intervals times according to their preference. ( I hope I described the option clearly.)After the sound, one may gently return to breathing without judgement about the thought. 💭 The extra bell sound would be an option; as well as not using it.

Best Meditation App and It’s FREE. I have been using this app for 2 weeks now for my meditations. I love it. I recently went back to Transcedental Meditation but no longer wanted to guess the timing of my meditations. In my previous practice, I was constantly peek to see if my time was done which brought anxiety. I tried other apps that did not work for me or I hated their tones. This one is perfect! It allows me to set prep and rest time which many don’t have. Thank you for providing such a wonderful app and it’s FREE.

Love it!. So perfect! It’s exactly what I was looking for in a meditation time. Simple and easy to use and functional. I love the edit function which gives you options for modifying your meditation. And the ads aren’t unbearable and disruptive. The only modification I’d want is the ability to save multiple different sessions so you don’t have to go in and change the timer for different session lengths. As sometimes I meditate for 20 mins and other times an hour. So it would be nice to have it so that I can save my 20 min timer and my 1hr timer as two different sessions so I can readily have them available. But this is not really a big deal and this feature would be a luxury. I’m okay with needing to adjust my time each time.

Works for me!. Really bare bones, to-the-point timer with a couple great tones (“bell” is the best!) and an ‘ad free day’ option if you let a few seconds of one ad play. Most of the tones unfortunately have an abrupt cutoff and some of the background choices are a bit pixelated and blown out - but I’m meditating, my eyes are closed anyway! Would love more tone options, maybe a few more backgrounds and a bit higher quality, but overall this app works great for what I was searching for.

Great App. Use it every day.... Second Review: The advertising videos are gone at this time. Great! I am changing my rating to 5 stars. Thanks I have used this app for a couple of years. I really liked it. It lost some credibility with pop-up advertising. It was annoying but tolerable. Today I was greeted with an advertising video. This is unacceptable. Too bad their interests do not match the title of the app. I will be DELETING!!!!

Decent. This app works reasonably well. Sometimes an ad will open (never during meditation) right after my meditation session which has audio. The noise can be a little jarring. If the audio was automatically muted, or completely absent, I think the over all experience, and rating, would be better.

I’ll use this for working out too!. Excellent app for meditation and running. Great sounds that don’t rip your ears off like other interval timers. 1 star off because you can only create 1 program, your intervals must be the same duration, and you have to work out your overall duration- though I don’t mind doing a little math, good for the brain! (eg. for six 2:05 minute intervals, you need to enter a 12:30 duration or your last interval will be cut short). Overall, I’m getting a ton of use out of this little app!

Great app!!. I have used this meditation app for a few years now and it fits my meditation needs. I like that is has time built into getting ready for and coming out of my meditation. The options for sounds, and for selecting different time increments are good. It has been my app of choice for meditating and will continue to be.

Perfect mediation timer app. This simple app is a wonderful way to NOT have to keep track of time while meditating. Set it up once with with two instructions: how much of an interval you want after pushing “begin” to settle into your meditation posture (eg, 5 secs? 10?), and how long you want the mediation period itself to be. There’s a third option, which I find helpful: you can also set it up for a bell or tone during the meditation to act as a mindfulness reminder, in case mind has strayed into thinking. There are several bell tones to choose from. This is a remarkably useful app. I highly recommend it.

Practical daily tool. A flexible and easy to use tool for daily practice. You can change the amount of time for meditation as well as sounds or even vibrate instead of sound. I always set for a minute longer so I can stop before ad at end (this is a free app after all). I have been using each morning for a few years now. Just part of my routine.

Good basic timing app. Great for what it is designed for - helping meditators practice. What I like most about it is it’s elegant simplicity -that it doesn’t try to be all things to everyone with music, guided talks, more features than necessary etc. it exists in the true spirit of Zen. One drawback - pop up Adverts, they’re irrelevant I.e. “get your free angel reading” -annoying and poorly presented. Eliminate those and you’ve a truly great app.

Completely ruins the meditation. It’s such a great app… Until the final bell for your meditation to end and some shrill woman in an advertisement is screaming at you at the top of her lungs. Why would they do that? Oh yeah, just sell you the Paid version. Wouldn’t mind paying, just hate that they are so in your face about it. They would do better not offer of the free version with the screaming Mimi‘s… Just tell me upfront what you want me to pay you and don’t ruin my Meditation🤨

My timer for years now.. Works just the way it should. The design could be cleaner, but I kind of like that it’s not. Setting the pre time, meditation time, and post time is key and simple to set. You can also choose your own meditative images for the background. I will probably just pay for this now, since I don’t love the ads. An interesting addition could be sounds, but really not necessary.

Perfect in every way. So many options! I was looking for a timer that would make a single sound and stop without me needing to touch it. This allows me to continue mediating without needing to open my eyes and move to turn off the timer. Love the preparation time and the beautiful timer sounds. Thanks so much!

Useful little timer.. I use this timer for my daily meditation and find it quite useful. It’s simple and easy to work with lots of options for different sounds. I also like using it in my yoga classes. I set it for a 3 minute interval and tell students that when they hear the chime to use it as a reminder to return to their breath. The only reason I deducted a star is that occasionally there is an ad afterwards that has audio that can be jarring. If the only allowed silent ads it would be perfect.

BEST Meditation Timer!. It is simple to use timer! You can change the ring that you want to go off as to not startle you when you are in deep meditation. It works with music playing which is great! It also works in airplane mode so doesn’t require internet service to run! I use it everyday and recommend it to anyone in need of a meditation timer!

I’ve been using this app for over four years. I love this app. I’ve been using this app for over four years. I tried different ones but i always come back to this one. It’s simple and it has just what need.i meditate twice a day and like to have the timer for prep time, meditation time and transition out or savasana.

Great little meditation / timer app becoming less great.... I’ve been using the free version of this app off and on for years (depending on how dedicated I am to my practice). And the ads have become excessive and not conducive to meditation... The banner during the meditation constantly changing draws my attention as I see the flashing out of the corner of my eye. (I like to meditate with my eyes open to better translate that feeling of calm to my every day life.) And the videos at the end of the meditation cut the silence, cut the calm not allowing for a mindful transition and defeating the purpose of meditating. The still image ads at the end of the meditation time are fine. Even having a banner ad on the meditation screen is fine. And the ad promotion needs to be rethought to better align with the intention of the app.

I use it everyday!. This is exactly what I have been looking for with the exception of one small thing. I would love the option to play background sounds (water gurgling mixed with birds). I love how we can change the length of our sessions, change the frequency of the chimes as well as changing the chimes themselves. There are so many great options! This is by far my favorite app for meditation.

Get this if you want to start meditating. For years I was ambivalent about meditation. Yeah, I knew I wanted to do it, I knew I needed it, and, after a few Soto Zen retreats, I knew definitely how to do it. But only when I got this app. Adjustable bells, gongs, time periods - probably other apps have all that functionality too, but intuitively, something about this one just works best for me. Daily friend now for seven years.

A simple timer- but that's not all. It's mostly nice.. I still like this app and will use it, but I am annoyed by the commercial aspect that has crept in. Ads immediately following the timed session graduate to ads with sound. I think this is a manipulative effort to get us to purchase the app (and of course to make this app pay for itself.) Nonetheless it seems sneaky and pretty much 180 degrees opposed to what meditation is all about, in my book. Then again, who am I to think I should just get all my apps for free? But why not just charge up front a minimal fee after a trial period?

Perfect app for meditation. 2017, August - the annoying loud video pop ups after sessions are gone -- THANK YOU! Changed my review back to 5-stars. 2017: The app developers have started using video pop-up advertisements after a meditation timer completes. It's disconcerting and incongruous to be jarred back to reality by the sound of bombs and machine guns from a video game after finishing a nice meditation sessio! I've changed my review from 5 stars to 4 stars. Like other reviewers, I would be happy to pay for a pro version to have the ads removed. So it goes. We've all gotta eat, and I get that. Hard work should be rewarded. But those War game videos... I'm almost tempted to look for another app that I can just buy to remove the ads. 2016: This app does exactly what I was looking for. It allows me to time my meditation, and has a wonderful interval feature where you can have it give you another alert during your meditation. I use it to meditate for 15 minutes, then it gives me a chime and I switch to prayer for another 15 minutes. After 30 minutes, it gives me a chime to let me know I'm done. You can adjust the timers to anything you like, so this is perfect for any kind of meditation. The chimes are soothing, unobtrusive, perfect for meditation. Thank you for this wonderful, free app!!

Simple, helpful app. I have found this meditation timer a great aid to my meditative practice. I like having a minute of preparation time at the beginning before the triple gong sounds, as well as the bell marking the halfway point of the length of meditation I have set. I also like the signal at the end for a minute to come out of meditation. My individualized program of meditation was easy to set up and modify. This has been a very useful app.

Excellent functionality, annoying unavoidable ads. The general functionality is perfect for what I want out of a meditation app. Simple: a timer with intervals, and I can choose the type of sound played at the intervals. However, I am very close to deleting it. There is no option to pay to remove ads. There appears to be an option to watch an ad, which looks like it will remove ads for 48 hours. I’m not sure because I haven’t done it, and I don’t plan to. I would gladly pay a reasonable, one-time fee to remove ads forever. I do not want to have to give my time and attention to advertisers only to have to do it again in 48 hours. If you haven’t temporarily removed ads, at the end of the meditation session a full volume ad plays automatically! Could this be any more aggressive or inappropriate? This is a meditation app. It is supposed to help people center themselves. The revenue model is in direct opposition with the job of the app. Last gripes are the visual design and organization of the settings, both of which could use a user experience overhaul. I respect that not all developers can afford to pay a professional for these services, but even just using more established iOS patterns would improve the experience. I hope this feedback is helpful to the developer of this app and can use it to make adjustments that would be better for everyone. Best of luck.

Easy interface, unobtrusive ads, great find!. Meditation Timer is fairly customisable with an intuitive interface. I was able to put it to use instantly. The ads are unobtrusive in the free version, they do not get in the way of its primary mission. My only suggestion is that they improve the quality of the sounds. The tones I want to use come with a bit of a background hiss and cut off before they completely fade away. I might be willing to pay to remove the ads just to show my support for the app, but I’d definitely be willing to pay if the sounds were improved and/or allow me to import my own.

Good for what it is. Improvements would be to have random bells either within the meditation rather than timed ones. And a random bell throughout the day to remind you to be aware. Also a history of when and how long you used it. The Tibetan bell gets cut off before it finishes reverberating. And finally, I’ve seen other apps that let you know how many other people are meditating at the same time. All the above would distinguish it from your regular phone timer.

Great job on this app. It does what it says: it times your meditation practices. I like that we have options for the length of the preparation time, the intervals, the option for each to have its own sound and to chime 1, 2 or 3 times. I also like the ability to write notes and save them. It helps me to note obstacles that I encounter in my practice and how I’m dealing with them. I might take a half a star away because recently, there have been glitches in that some sounds didn’t chime as they were supposed to do. I’m hoping this is due to some incompatibility with the iOS update that I just did and that it’s being addressed by the programmers. On another topic, I would love to be able to save more than one timer routine, say ten, twenty and thirty minute timers, each with distinct pause intervals and sounds, so that I wouldn’t have to change the options each time, according to how much time I have available or to my moods. Even with my critiques, I recommend this app to anyone.

Disappointing. I was glad to find this app. Tried it today... then explored it a bit. Found I could set up only one meditation. Even though I could edit the name of it. Why? I tried this and that for 5 minutes, but then I found the specs for the app, and apparently that’s all you get. Also, granted that I’m a bit picky about language—the English in the software description, FAQs, specs etc. desperately needs some elementary editing!

No longer a fan.. Dec 2017: editing my review, from 4 stars to 2 stars. Pop up ads have begun playing towards the end of meditation sessions. It's jarring, disruptive and inconsistent with the tool's purpose. I respect the developers' need to create revenue, but question the use of this ad format. I'll switch back to my analog timer. 2013: This is a useful tool. The bell is gentle and its easy to setup. It would be even better if the bell chimed a bit longer, of you could save multiple lengths - instead of needing to reset your time when you want a longer/shorter session, and if you could start over without having to exit the app. Once you hit play, there is no rewind option. I recommend this version, though, and use it often.

Nice and simple,. I like the programmability. I like the bell tones, although for some reason your program cut off the end of the sound of some of the bills fade our, which is a little bit disconcerting. I understand the need for ads to finance your project, but some of them are a little bit over the top in my face. If they were a little bit more discrete, I also think they would probably be more effective. Because having something pop up makes me want to cross company off my list

Truly valuable. This app makes meditation so much more enjoyable. I have alway been a little bit bothered by the use of my phone timer to notify me that my meditation time was up. Phone alarms are loud, invasive, and they undo some of the peace you established during meditation. This app’s start and finish tones are so delicate. They ever so gently close out your session which really helps preserve you peace. The pre-start tone is also very useful in giving you a few seconds to get situated before your actual meditation time starts. It’s a very simple and well thought out app.

Great timer. This is a great meditation timer — lots of different sounds to work with, interval options (for example, I use 30 second warmup, another bell for the practice, another bell for the come-down or whatever you call it, and a final chime for the end of my meditation). And you can’t beat the price 😊.

Calming timer. The sounds are really nice. The timer functions and options are great. The one drawback is that The app can freeze if there is some other activity on your phone while the timer is going. It’s happened before where I was meditating a lot longer than I realized because the app did not chime. Not such a bad thing, unless you have to get to work right after…

Disturbing. This is a meditation app, so I don’t appreciate that at the end of the meditation I am jolted by a loud advertising voice. Why does an ad pop up automatically at the end of the meditation? I also don’t like the Facebook/Twitter thing at the end. This is all disturbing. After meditation, I don’t want social media and ad bombardments. I’ll contact customer service to find a stop to that; otherwise, if anyone knows of a better app, please post. If it wasn’t for the jolting end to the time settings, this app would have scored a five. It’s simple to use, and the time alerts are conducive to calmness, not jolting.

Simple, reliable, good. I’ve used this interval timer with attractive bell sounds for several years. They quickly discontinued the ads with sounds, but the period with those ads was the only time I even looked at alternatives. It is simple, reliable, offers flexible scheduling, and has nice sounds and a pretty design.

Mostly love it.. It worked very well for over a year and then list the chime for the end of the meditation and I can not get it back. Chime for 30 secs - chime to begin meditation for 20 mins no chime to come out for 3 mins to come out then chime at end of meditation. I can understand losing a chime from time to time I can’t understand not being able to get it back in.

Great For TM. I use this app to help me time my TM meditations. I’ve been doing TM for only about 2 months. However, when i first started I did not use a timer. I kept opening my eyes during meditation to check the clock. While reading Super Mind, Dr. Rosenthal suggested using a meditation app to keep track of the meditation time. With a pleasant, non rattling sound that would gently bring you out of your meditation. This is a great app for that. Now I can just relax during my meditation, and know that I won’t go over my time. I also like that you can set timers for prep and rest. I have mine currently set to 2 minutes of prep, 20 min meditation, and 5 minutes of rest. This app has made my TM effortless, just as its supposed to be. Thank you!

Awesome. I actually bought the paid version and went back to using the trial version because I like it better. One click and you are right at your chosen Meditation screen, ready to start. If you have multiple meditations that you do, the paid version may be for you. I just do transcendental meditation so this is perfect for me.

Bad sound sampling. I just want a simple meditation app that plays chimes at the beginning, the end, and at intervals, and does it over soothing soundtrack from the Apple Music app in background. This app does that, so that’s good. I would even pay a one-time $2-3 to remove the ads, maybe even $5. But after using it a couple of times, I am close to deleting it because I really hate the chime selections it has. There are about 7-8 chime selections, and almost all are terrible. The sound sampling quality is horrendous. Most end rather abruptly, almost none lingers on to keep your attention. And a few chimes sound jarring and repulsive. Not something you would want for a calming meditation. So I hope the developer will address these issues soon. Otherwise, I will delete it.

Great for TM. I have been using this app since September and I absolutely love it. Specially for TM or any practice that suggests that you take some time before and after the practice to ready the mind to go transcend and afterwards to get you ready de activity. This timer has made it so that I can move from one state of mind to another with soothing sounds which make the transition to flow nicely.

Disappointed with the dramatic price increase. I have used this app for several years and upgraded to the paid version many years ago as well. Only recently I received notice that even though I have purchased the app, I will now have to pay a subscription fee! While I like the app, it’s certainly not worth the amount of money that they’re asking, and with a quick search I found another meditation app that is actually a bit nicer. Not only are they increasing fees, the pop ad is large and annoying. Also when the app plays with other sounds on my phone, the volume for both goes way down. The only thing that is missing from the other app I found is the ability to have more timers saved, but it’s not very hard to just change the timer. In all I wouldn’t recommend this timer at its current price point and will remove it from my phone.

very good app. This app on my device has helped me to meditate more regularly. The app is very easy to use, easy to set the desired time with pleasing chimes to tell you time is up. Ifeveryone meditated 10 minutes everyday our world would be a better place. May all beings be happy.

Love this app. Does what you want - helps time and space your meditation with flexibility for you to set and easily change timing options, lovely sound choices, and pleasant background options. The function to transfer data to iPhone health app isn’t working on my phone, but I haven’t looked into it because I don’t care. However, that might require trouble shooting if you care (or it might just be something on my phone).

Have used this app for years. Still the same simple meditation timer. There are no guided meditations here, only a timer. Ads are unobtrusive. You could use the timer on the phone, but all of the alarms are too jarring. This one has more gentle sounds that are much better for meditation. I like being able to start my session with one bell and end it with three.

Must have...!!!. An amazing app

Very useful. This is just right as a meditation timer. Perfect

Perfect meditation timer. I like the simplicity and flexible use with two bells

Good for a single mediation but not good if you wan to save multiple sets. I do like the functionality of the meditation timer and the sounds are pleasant. Would be much improved if you could save multiple meditations rather than have to adjust the timing on the app each time.

Great little app!. It is the only app I have found that allows me to set intervals, with nice meditation 'bells', and that reminds me "it is time to meditate". I also like that I can lock my devices and the app keeps running so I don't use so much battery life. I would give it 5 stars if it would allow me to set different interval times and not just one specific time duration for the intervals within a session.

Great all rounder. This is a great little app it helps remind me to take time for my meditation, gives me great little interval reminders during my meditation to keep track of time (very useful in our busy world). I choose to put my phone on "flight mode" or "do not disturb" to prevent calls interrupting the most important time of the day, the time I love and nurture the self. Happy meditation.

Awesome. Great app, - Can adjust the meditation time, the intervals and chimes- I mainly use this app for a breathing meditation before I read and meditate on Buddhist texts - I can really recommend Buddhism ☸️ and Dharma - kindness 😊

Okay meditation app. It’s okay, not great.

Ads ads ads!. The app is good but there are really annoying ads (often of upsetting content) up the top and now it’s started launching straight into playing loud ads the second the timer goes off. Horrible! Just horrible and jarring!

Simple timer. Simple timer with gong to start and end the meditation. Easily adjustable. Runs in the background so you can run your own music. Even records into your apple health stuff.

Loud Advertisements. Did not like loud advertisements at end of meditation.

Excellent!. Works really well.

Meditation App. Great App, love the sound of the chimes, easy to use for timing meditation.?

Does what it says on the tin. Can’t really fault it. Does what is says on the tin. The ability to set reminders would be good.

Meditation. Thanks. Very helpful to practice longer and longer sessions. Good voice of bells, chimes, etc.

Use this daily. So easy and versatile. Makes meditation easy. You can change your preparation, meditation and ease out time according to your preferences. There are also lots of chimes to choose from.

Meditation Timer. Excellent. Love to use everyday. Calming screen view.

Invasive ads kill your calm. Timer works fine but is interrupted by obnoxious ads at the end of your meditation ruining any calm and tranquility. Would pay for an ad free version if they made one

Easy and effective. Makes timing my meditation easy

Does what it’s meant to do and does it well. Simple to use. Does just as it says. Very helpful!

Ok but.. Works well but too many ads.

unable to include ‘pro’ version from iPad. This app is essentially perfect. All I ask is that the ‘pro’ version I purchased on my iPad, could also be used on my phone. This is usual for most apps. Something ironic in getting rid of ads (and only for one day) by watching an ad ! I notice I am not the first reviewer who would happily pay for permanent ad removal.

Please make an add free version. I would happily pay for a pro version of this app to get rd of the ads , instead of having to watch a video every 48 hours. That’s why I gave it 2 stars. You used to be able to save different meditations - length of time. But now you have to change the length of meditation every time you use the app This app has gone downhill. I think I will look for an alternate app

Too many ads. Give an option to pay to opt out of ads

Great app. Timing meditation is easy and a secondary encouragement bell to say you're almost done!

Awesome. Very useful

Insight timer. the pop-up ads are very annoying, distracting and diminish the app. How do I stop the pop-ups?? Happy to pay for the app, but STOP AD

Meditation timer. I don't like this so because it floods me with ads!

Has everything you need!. This app was exactly what I was looking for. It is simple to use and has everything you need. There is a variety of sounds to choose from for the beginning/ending chime, and you can modify the preparation time, total duration as well as set up intervals of varying lengths with a sound to alert you when the interval time has elapsed. One thing that could improve it slightly is an option to save more than one set of preferences - for eg it would be good to be able to save a 20 min meditation with no intervals and also a 40 min meditation with various intervals etc, rather than having to change your preferences every day. Other than that, it is perfect!

Beautiful chime. Perfect. Also visually beautiful. Not that I’m looking at it :)

Music issues. Music from other apps start quiet and will randomly turn volume up by itself. Not the best for use while teaching.

Just Great. Ticks all my boxes. I have a 30 minute session with gongs at the start and end and soft cymbals every 5 minutes in between.

Effective. Simple but effective

Good easy app. Good easy app does the job nicely. Please remove advertisements that have audio at the end of the mediation. The advertisements for mediation associated businesses are really interesting and appropriate. A guy exclaiming about Ola ride share is disappointing.

Meditation Timer. The Best!

Very good!. Great app. Simple to use and does exactly what I need. Wish the ad would come after the “cool down” period.

Best meditation app. Recommend anytime. Good luck.

Use it every day, great little simple app.. Excellent little App - simple but useful.

Awful awful ads. Really? You want to bombard me with a video ad just when I have finished meditating???? Where are your ethics? Do you even know what meditation is? Absolutely awful.

Like this app but it consumes too much battery power. Like this app but it consumes too much battery power

Timer. Pocket meditation timer It’s good.

Love it though. volume level is too loud in relation to other apps running simultaneously. For example I have a bell chime every minute each waking hour and when listening to a podcast this apps volume hurts my ears it’s level is so much higher than the other podcast apps volume. Adjusting the volume in the app also adjusts the volume of the device itself so you can’t adjust it to align with the other apps volume level.

Fi. I use this to meditate all of the time. It is great :)

Cancel please. Cancelling app. All it is is a nice gong on a timer for a heap of adds that you can’t avoid

Simple & reliable. Been using this app for years. Love the simplicity & reliability of it.

Works for me. I’ve tried a few mindfulness timers and this is the best one I’ve come across. I like that the timer is fully customisable, the sounds are pleasant, and I can link it to my Apple Health app. I highly recommend this app.

Ok but no add option and more times to set would be good. It works a lot like the sports apps for repetition training. That’s ok but I’d like to be able to store settings for different times of day. Also the adds come in at the end of you time which can be very jarring and some have sound and are not peaceful.

Yeshe1234. Helps me time my meditation sessions.

Overall Very Good. The timer is very good but could do with an option to save a couple of different meditation lengths rather than changing the setting each time you wanted a shorter or longer time.

Interval timer is great. I particularly like this app because I can set a quiet chime to sound every minute which is a reminder for me to come back to the present. Then I set a different chime towards the end as a cue to start visualization and finally another as a cue to end. Impossible to do that with standard iPhone alarms which require you to interact every time they go off.

Great app. Everything you need if not everything you might want

Great App!. A wonderful meditation timer app! Only thing missing is a background/ambient noise option.

App losing it’s followers. Imagine inserting an advertising jingle in between end gongs to a meditation session, jolting you out of calm. Unacceptable...and an example of mindlessness. Will have to find another app. Otherwise was a nice app.

Méditation timer. Excellent outil pour méditer . Permet de ne pas constamment vérifier le temps de méditation et les sons sont très appropriés pour rester dans l’ambiance.

Ads too loud. I've been using this app for years but I'm unfortunately going to have to find a new meditation timer. Recently there have been ads that pop up right after your timer hits zero and they're really loud. It's hard to get your zen on when pop music starts blaring when you least expect it. Wish they'd get this fixed. Put the ads on before the timer starts!

Easy to use. Been using this app since I started my daily meditation. Was recommended by my TM teacher.

Great app with one simple hack. Love this app. Except that at the end of a meditation an ad comes on. Simple fix turn off wifi when you use it. Otherwise really nice sounds for the alarms. Let’s you go deeper and not have to check the clock.

Simple but great. Been using it for more than a year now and i love it.

My favourite meditation timer app. Simple, very modifiable, love the sounds!

Unified Field. Works cleanly and clearly

Easy and lovely to use. This meditation app is very easy to set up the time and sound to customize your meditation. I highly recommend it!

Great app. Great app

The jarring video ads. Like someone else wrote, the jarring video ads that sometimes come on after are ruining this app for me! It doesn't always happen but when I start hearing crazy music or dialogue I'm not expecting it really takes away from whatever benefits I'm trying to get. Worst is I loved this app when it was ad-free. I'm done with it now unfortunately. :(

In appropriate ad when time is up. I really like the app but right after the timer is done you are blasted with a ad at a volume much higher than you set the ringer.

Super efficient.. Perfect for what It does.

The perfect timer for meditation. I've been using this app for years now and it's the most useful companion for my daily practice. Thanks a lot to those who designed it!

Great meditation app. I use it daily. Love the bells and chimes.

Simple. It does exactly what it needs, without additional fuss. The ads are pretty discreet too. Data is recorded automatically in the iPhone health data. I love this app.

Put your phone on Airplane Mode!. Hey, I love the app, use it daily! I see a lot of reviews talking about the annoying ads that pop up at the end of the session. Simple solution. PUT YOUR PHONE ON AIRPLANE MODE! (While meditating) you shouldn’t need to be in contact with anyone except yourself during that time anyways. I once forgot to put phone on airplane mode, and YES ads are a shocking (in a negative way) to end a meditation session, but they can only appear if you are online. Thank-you.

Meditation timer is excellent.. Love this app and I never get any video ads at the end of my meditation at all.

This is a meditation app to think about.. This is a meditation app to think about. Easy to use, yet feature rich, and free.

Ads with audio need to go. I like everything about this app EXCEPT the ads with audio that come on right after the gentle timer that sounds at the end of my meditation. It’s terrible and is a bit of an oxymoron - relax and find inner peace then get jolted out of it with a sudden loud voice. It’s a definite problem with this app.

Meditation timer. Very handy and easy to use. Use it all the time.

Great App. This app has been a great addition to my meditation practice. I like the different chimes and bells to choose from. Namaste 😀

Meditation Timer. It’s easy to use. And I love that I can set the duration and a wake up time of 3 minutes to come out of the meditation. It’s perfect. I wouldn’t change a thing

Too many annoying ads. This was my ‘go-to’ meditation app for a number of years. Now there are too many ads up-front before you can even get to the timer. Too bad.

Meditation app. A simple app with just the right amount of bells and whistles.

Good basic meditation app. I use this app daily - reliable and has lots of options

Annoying ads. I loved this app until the started playing commercials when you open it. They're not exactly conducive to relaxation. I decided to delete it.

Good meditation timer. Free, easy to use, and the ads are minimal (if you’re really meditating, you won’t notice most of them)

Great job. Love the app!

Courtice, Canada. It's great. Ads can be a bit annoying, otherwise it's great.

Meditation Timer. Simple and easy to use. Just like my Trancendental Meditation.

Perfect for Silent Mediation. This is everything I was hoping for when I sought an app that would help me start a meditation practice. Simple interface, soothing chimes, it has it all.

Was good, has recently been glitchy. Started to notice glitches when starting/stoping timer throughout last two months

Works good for me!. I do TM and the timer works good for me.

Ads at end ruin the experience. I really like this app, but a major problem for me is the jarring video ads that blast me at the end of my calming session of meditation.

great app!. excellent and very useful. would be even better if we could decide of different uneven intervals. For example: chimes at 5-10-20-30-35 min.

Love this app. Excellent free app for meditation, better than many paid apps. I would happily pay for this one to remove ads.

Simple, effective with all the right features. Has all the right features needed to meditate without being complicated or intrusive.

Excellent!. I love it!

Great app!. It does what it's meant to do, in a nice way. It’s the only meditation app I use, and it helps track my total meditation time effectively! Highly recommended!

The ads are obnoxious. The little masthead ads are fine. Makes sense when free. But when you stop meditating with this one, it plays an ad for a few seconds that makes noise. And that doesn’t stop. Weird. Not what you want to end a meditation on. Am deleting.

Effective Time Manager. It would be best to be able to remove ads permanently instead of every 48 hrs.

I don’t like it. I’m not a fan, insight timer is much better with way more functionality and a community of other meditators did I also mention it’s free ?

Meditator. Excellent fits what it days

Great. Use it daily, love the calming backgrounds and the chimes!

Simple, complet, efficace. Pas la peine de chercher ailleurs. Tout y est. Ne manque que votre volonté.

Nice, simple, and mindful .... ... that’s all I need. Popup adds with sounds right after you are done with your deep meditation are not mindful at all, that’s the reason I don’t give 5 stars. But, that’s what you get with a free app.

Excellent!. Simply excellent! Very simple and practical 👌

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!

Exactly what I wanted, but pop up ads are irritating. I’ve been using this app for years now and it’s exactly what I wanted. Pop up ads are annoying, but they only come up after you’re finished and are easily dismissed, or you watch the ads for 48 hours ad free.

Perfect App. Everything I wanted and then some. Love the tingshaw alert and the interval timer option. The customizable features let you get it just the way you want it, look over both menus. Can't say enough good things about this app.

Super simple but the best. I have downloaded and deleted many many meditation apps. I have kept several for different purposes, but this is my go to if I just want a Meditation timer and don’t need guided or anything fancy.

Horrified. What just happened? I was finishing my meditation and right in the middle of my countdown sound some idiot TALKS to me about improving my experience. If this fool really understands meditation, he should know I should not be interrupted at all. In addition, why do I need any VERBAL ads in my app. Ads for free may be necessary to keep it going but THIS is unconscionable. I will find another timer that understands what a meditation session is about. Disgraceful.

Great features. I’ve been using this meditation timer for years and I like how versatile it is. You can set prep times and interval times and rest times all with different chimes. It’s quick and intuitive to use.

Simply the Best. Nice and simple. Easy to use. No muss no fuss. Within seconds you can have your timing set for your meditation practice. Easy to change settings. Nice selection of sounds. Highly recommend for those who like simple.

Wonderful Minimalist Mindfulness Sitting App. This app offers exactly what is needed for establishing and supporting your meditation practice without all the distracting bells and whistles of other apps. Determine your sitting time, select a bell to begin, a bell to end and you’re done. It connects to the Apple Health app so your sessions can be logged. I’ve had this app for years and recently began sitting each day and I can’t recommend this app higher to someone who wants to begin or enhance their own meditation practice. Enjoy the moments.

Using daily for years. The standard iPhone timer sounds were too jolting for me coming out of a meditation. I searched and found this app and loved it. It’s customizable depending upon the type of meditation I do. Simple, clear, and easy to use.

Fantastic app keeps it simple. With control over prep time, meditation time and rest time this app keeps it simple allowing one to focus on the exercising without a lot of bells and whistles distractions. Thank you for fixing the crash problem;

Great Meditation Timer App. Have tried several meditation timer apps, but this one is by far the best I’ve ever used. It is simple, flexible, and you can customize the settings. I have been using twice a day for several months, and I am very happy with it.

Review. The nickname necessity is a bother when trying to make one which will work... I use this app daily and appreciate the ease of making changes. Highly dislike the verbal ad when I leave the meditation.

Simplicity Works. I like this app! It is very simple, unlike some others with music and guided meditations. This one is for experienced meditators who need no frills. Timers and chimes to set your pace and time your meditations so you don’t have to focus on it. It is improving my practice.

The best. I have been using this meditation timer for years and love it. It’s versatile, it allows me a choice of tones and a choice of times for those tones to ring. I’ve tried a few others and none are as good as this for me. And it’s free! I am very grateful for this service!

Miserable for Meditation, Terrible for Time. The only reason I have not switched over to other apps or my own bespoke solution is rote habit. Very limited timer sound selections and customizability. Extremely annoying ads that have evolved over time to include some of the most distasteful and distracting personalities and products of our era (many political or cult-like in nature). Glitches and straight-up failures in time-keeping. It’s really an awful app and as an avid meditator, I would NEVER recommend it to anyone going forward.

Simple but effective. It’s a simple and free application to help increase mindfulness. I have successfully used it for months now. I wish there were more sounds to chose from and that I could have more than one type of mindfulness session stored and choose which I wanted that day. Thanks to the team for building it!

Great tool. When you want to build a meditation practice but have limited time in the day, this app helps. Set up the amount of time you have to sit and remove that worry from your brain. Easy and simple to use too!

My Favorite. I have tried several meditation timers. This one is my favorite. It is free, easy to adjust, and syncs with my health app. I also like the choice of sounds. Thank you for creating and sharing for free.

Simple and Effective. A useful set of features that are easy to set up. Layers over current music or sound selection. Definitely recommend!

an annoying change. I've have enjoyed using this app for the last 5 years or so - until recently. Suddenly I am getting loud commercials during the ending bells of my meditation. It is extremely jarring! I could use the instant anger I feel as a practice point, but I am thinking that finding a new app might be a quicker solution.

Does the job about half the time.. I needed a meditation app that provided certain basic elements, ie a timer. The chimes selected to signify the midpoint and/or end of the meditation simply don’t go off about 50% of the time. When I can find another app with similar functionality, I’ll probably switch. Also - it’s pretty funny that when you go to rate this app, the review (a positive one) is already written and the star rating (four) is already selected.

Great app. Love this app i use it every day. You can customize your meditation timer in multiple ways. I love that there’s a preparation timer and an interval timer, hearing my chosen timer sound helps realign my focus when my mind starts to wander.

Thank you for fixing bug!. I've used this for several years and last year suddenly the end time alert stopped chiming when phone was locked. Installing the app update fixed this problem. Thank you!

Annoying sound advertisements at end of meditation cycle. I have used this app for a number of years in my meditation practice and have always been very happy with it. I understand the need for advertising (after all, this is a free app), but lately loud, annoying sound ads start blaring immediately after the final meditation chime. This is extremely disruptive to anyone’s meditation practice. Obviously, whoever decided to include this kind of advertising doesn’t meditate.

Simple and effective. Other apps had several complexities that I didn’t need. I just wanted something with interval options and nice chime and gong sounds. This app is just right for me . I was distracted by the adds at first but now i ignore them pretty easily (sorry sponsors)

Great for TM but too many Trump ads. My TM instructor suggested I use this app and it’s been great BUT I keep getting served Trump questionnaires from his people stating how all the media is being too hard on him 🤮. Meditation and Trump do not belong anywhere near each other.

Good w/a serious flaw. I would have given this a 4, possibly even a 5 except for the fact that at the end of a session, more often than not, various ads come on with loud, generally raucous music &/or sounds completely disrupting the final moments of the session. While I can easily accept that advertisements are necessary, I would, most strongly, recommend the developers to be more "mindful" regarding the nature of the ads they allow to happen at that precise moment.

Simplistic, however very complete!. Meditation is just that! Meditation has no flash or glamor, and that is this app., a few choices are given but, not so many as to make make things complicated. Great app. That does it's job well.

Great App. This app has enhanced my meditations. I love the selection of chimes and the option to chime at intervals. Very relaxing to know that I am being timed and do not have to worry about jarred out of my meditation by an alarm clock!

Need to fix glitches. I like the options and the way I’m able to set exact times and intervals the best with this timer. However it’ll stop and shut down right in the middle of my meditation. Sometimes I don’t realize and when I do I have to stop everything and it completely ruins my meditation. It’s very frustrating. Need to fix whatever is causing that. Otherwise it would be 5 stars all the way.

So simple yet does the job. I really like this app. I’ve been using it for several years on both my devices— it is simple, the bell sounds are nice, you have just enough options but not too many. It is wonderful for meditation practice. I really cannot say more about how much I love this app.

Sweet app does the job. I use this app almost every day is my timer. I love the sounds of the chimes. I love the backgrounds. This really does the job well. However I don't like the pop up ads. And I would love to save different times of meditations. I would pay for a pro version if they had it. But all and all for a free app it's fine.

Wonderful app - too many ads. Has everything you need and is always reliable! It's never crashed on me ever and I've used it for years! The newer version however has an ad every time you open it that you then have to close and before they were just at the top. Really annoying but the app is good otherwise.

Meditation timer of choice. I enjoy using this free app. I understand the need for banner ads at top and bottom to support it. My choice to click or not to expand them. I gave only four stars however because lately the dev surfaces a full screen ad when my meditation is over... not the greeting I want to see then. Namaste.

Best meditation app!. I really love all the customizable options on this app. Even the preparation time and rest time features are great and unique. I like the fact that almost every feature from the sounds to the times are customizable.

Great and helpful app. That’s what I needed for my prayers. Interval chimes! Would love to see this app available on Apple Watch, where one can start his own edited meditation session and the sounds be also available on the Watch so that you can meditate without a phone

Keeps me "awake". The only reason for four stars (and not five), is that the bell sounds cut off a little early. It seems like it would be an easy edit to just fade the sound out, instead of the sound suddenly stopping.

Well done. Elegant and simple I look forward to using It every day. The adds from TEMU that blast on at the end of each session though are very annoying

Get rid of the ads. I find this app very helpful as a meditation novice. The interval timers remind me of what I’m doing, and assure me the app is working so there’s no need to fixate on time. BUT….. the ad that starts immediately at the end with a non-peaceful sound is annoying. I’d be happy to pay a couple dollars for an ad-free version.

Easy and effective. I’ve been using this regularly for a few years. He interval chime helps bring me back from wandering. The end chime keeps me from losing track of more time than I’m intending. It has all the features I need. Recommended.

Awesome Meditation timer. Quick and easy to use. Allows me to quickly start my early morning meditation without thought. I really like that you can have setup and rest times included as well as a halfway mark in the timer. You can’t do that w the regular timer on the phone. Love it!

Perfect and yet so annoying. Pros -you can create different timers to fit different types of meditations -there are multiple sounds you can use as punctuation to your meditations Cons -an annoying video starts playing as soon as your meditation is done (you can, however, build in a buffer time to come back to reality before that happens) I would rather pay something and not have my meditation ruined like that. There is a choice to watch a video and not get ads, but I don’t want to watch any videos! The app opens with an ad that you have to click away AND there is a banner ad at the top of the screen. Isn’t that enough without that annoying loud ad after the meditation?!

Too many pop ups. I have been using this app for years, and I really like it. However, over the past year, the the ads have gotten really intrusive. Now, you have to watch an ad and you can barely even find the place to click to get into the actual app. This is not the way I want to start my meditation time.

I loved this timer until…. About a month ago when the 1st chime in each of the three times I set them has a hiccup to it, regardless of the chime sound I set. I’ve deleted the app from my iPhone XR and reinstalled it numerous times without any success Very frustrating because it has excellent, authentic sounding bells that remind me of group meditation.

Adds???. This meditation timer used to be the best timer until they put adds in at the end of every meditation. This has ruined this app for me. I used it to time breathing exercises and meditation time in my yoga class and now the adds pop up and disturb the flow. If there is a way to disable the adds please let me know. I used this for everything. Fitness, yoga, short and long meditations and the adds are very annoying.

Perfect except for loud ads that auto play at end. This app is perfect except that it auto plays loud ads as soon as the meditation timer ends. So instead of coming out of my meditation quietly, I am jerked out of it to the sound of whatever ad is playing. It would be 5 stars if the ads were silent, or if they started ~30+ seconds after the meditation ended.

Meditation timer app. Have tried out several meditation timer apps over the years, and I use this app daily. Love the bell sounds and appreciate being able to set intervals and “warm-up” time. Data can be logged in the iOS Health app.

Best meditation timer app. I’ve been using this app for a few years now, and I’m very happy with its simplicity. Other people have noted—and I agree—that there is now a glitch in the chimes causing them to hiccup. It’s not awful, but it would be nice to have it fixed.

Simple and works great!. I’ve been using this for over year and it comes in very handy. I use it for meditation and sometimes I use it to keep me aware of time. I set an hour total time and have it chime at me every 10 minutes while I go about my desk work.

Meditation Timer. Works perfectly for transcendental meditation since it chimes for a short time and then turns itself off. You can set multiple timers for initial 30-60 seconds, 20 minutes and then 3-4 minutes.

Video ads in a meditation app?. Seriously? App was good until this change. Now it’s worse than useless except to evaluate before purchasing the paid version. The app itself, apart from the ads, is excellent. No frills, just a good timer with a nice selection of bell and gong sounds - which is exactly what I want from a meditation timer. There is a paid version which is inexpensive and worth buying.
