Nice and simple. The look and function are very nice. Such a simple (but elegant) timer for an extraordinary purpose.

Needs to write to health kit. I love the simplicity of this app, and the fact that it works in the background. However, it would be fantastic if it could write to mindful minutes in health kit!

Nice simple timer. Easy to use and no unnecessary social-media-like frills

Simple. Nothing extra. Nothing added.

Simple clean timer. I love how simple and to the point this timer is. I used to use insight timer but the graphs and courses took me away from my practice. That’s just my personal experience.

Simple and effective.. I was looking for a simple timer that started with a chime and ended with a chime. I also wanted to avoid in-app purchases so this works perfectly for my needs. My only criticism would be that the chime decays too quickly (about 5 seconds). The app could be improved/updated with a chime that decays more slowly (15-20 seconds).

Great app. Does its job perfectly. Its super simple and straight to the point. Exactly what I was looking for.

Perfect. Zazen Timer does exactly what I need it to. Simple and elegant, it’s a timer with a lovely chime. That’s it!

Great Gongs. Better sounds than my iPhone’s! Help keep the ashram feeling going.

Simple Elegant Pretty Zen. Just what you need. And it looks good. I like the concept of other meditation apps but this is perfect for a standard set-time meditation. Thanks for putting this out for free and with no ads. Spread the Dharma.

<3. Great for meditation, and also is really smooth and peaceful on theNervous system opposed to regular timers.

Beautiful simplicity for a mindfulness tool. Just what I needed, a timer without extras. The ease of using motivates my to practice stillness throughout the day more.

Just enough. This simple app embodies zen practice. All you need is a place to sit, I recommend a zafu (round cushion) placed atop a zabuton (flat rectangular cushion) facing a wall, with your zen timer set to as many minutes as you desire. Bows.

Benevolence.... Benevolence... I only make it to the zen center once a week for an hour sit because of my schedule. This perfectly helps me keep time whenever I practice zazen 🙏🏽

Perfect. Simple. Uncluttered.. I was really tired of the overly complicated meditation timers. This is just what I was looking for. Thank you.

Love it. The app is very simple and easy to use. It gives a pleasant chime to begin and end your meditation and you can have it make a little tick sound to let you know when you are halfway through or one third or one fourth.

Favorite app. This is my favorite app. It is very simple. The bell rings to start and the bell rings to end the meditation. You choose whether to have a countdown and how long to meditate. This is all I need. I have never used an app so consistently. Nothing I don’t need. No bells and whistles. Perfect.

Not bad. I like this app. Especially the delay. I just wish there were more options for the opening and closing bell. I also wish the bell rang out longer and slowly decayed.

Simple. A chime to start, a chime to finish, nothing in between. Exactly what I wanted.

Has all you need. Of all the free timers this is the best. Simple to use, subtle sound options and intervals can be dialed in. Pick this one.

Does anyone remember Zenso?. I think this is one of the better ones out there right now, but it pales in comparison to the old timer, Zenso.

simple and complete. This tool is simple. It does exactly and only its job. This tool lets you focus on the craft, not the tool itself.

Wonderful. Simple and easy to use. Love it.

Simple timer. Works but not if ringer silent. Other timer apps work with ringer silent.

Silent mode. Doesn’t chime when the phone is on silent. I want to be able to mute notifications but also hear the chime.

A perfect meditation timer. This simple timer serves my purpose is perfectly I couldn’t believe how hard it has been to find a Meditation Timer that would just give me a bill at the end of my meditation and chimed at intervals when I wanted it to. This feels the bill perfectly. Thank you!

Perfect. Nothing I don’t need and everything I do.

Very simple and functional. I had another meditation timer that required me to tap into a menu and reset the time each session. This one remembers the last time you set. In addition, everything you need to do can be done from the opening screen. I also like the delay feature, which lets you set start timer to ring at a designated time after you hit start. I usually go with 10 seconds, which lets me set my phone down and start to settle in before the opening bell.

Great app!. Nice and simple with no bells and whistles—actually it does have a bell. Just what you need to time your home zazen, and nothing you don’t need. My only suggestion would be to let the recording of the bell ring out another couple seconds, it cuts off just a hair—no biggee though. Great app!

Excellent app. Great way to recognize a time to slow down. Remain attentive to you and the family. Excellent work for a free app.

Simple and easy. Love this app. Bell rings at start and finish. That’s exactly what I wanted. Also love the option to have up to 15 seconds to settle in before the starting bell.

Doesn’t work. Set a timer, watch it count down to... no sound playing. It doesn’t chime. Please fix this, it’s the only thing the app does and it doesn’t work.

Doesn’t work, don’t buy it. It has one function - to make a small noise at certain intervals. It doesn’t make that noise, even with the device set to maximum volume. This app is literally useless.

Ed. Wonderfully simple, easy to use. One suggestion, allow the inkin to finish ringing, the complete sound envelope.

Great timer. Does what it says and does it well. I use it daily for zazen.

I like this app. I appreciate the simplicity and clarity of this meditation timer app. It doesn’t become a distraction like other meditation apps.

Almost perfect!. I love the simplicity and beauty of this app. My one feature request would be for the app to automatically set my phone to Do Not Disturb while the timer is running. Other than that, perfection!

Simple is perfect. It’s simple, elegant, and exactly what I wanted. Thank you.

Love it’s simplicity and utility. Simple and perfect for what I need it for. Great meditation timer! It’s also a handy interval timer , I used it to keep track of my mile pace at the end of a long running event : )

Simple. The perfect centering tool… soft chime to start… soft chime to finish. That is all. 🧎‍♀️

Suggestions. Good app, but please: *allow user to change theme to dark *allow app and bells to still function when phone is locked or on silent mode *provide user with a simple, delete-capable record of sits over 5 minutes in length *allow user to program number of bells and the type (sound) of bell Thanks!

Perfectly simple. This timer app achieves the clear goal of providing a pleasant timer without trying to sell a product. This works for me on both philosophical and practical levels. Thank you for writing this app.

Perfect and Simple. This is exactly what I was looking for to use in my daily Zazen practice. No frills or fancy meditations. Just a timer that begins and ends with a bell. I gave it four stars only because the timer turns off when I put my screen to sleep.

Waste of Money. Might as well use the timer that comes with phone. There is no sound when session ends which means you need to keep checking the clock.

Simply perfect. I have been meditating for so many years. I do not want or need any of the gimmicks that have become so popular in the commodification of meditation - I just need a simple timer with an awareness interval feature. That is all you get in this app and that is perfect.

Works. This app works for what it’s intended to do.

Simple with crucial features. I was looking for a simple timer that 1) would work on silent with 2) a melodious chime, which would 3) allow me to include a little sound at consistently spaced intervals, and 4) had a countdown. This is almost perfect — all that’s lacking is an option for longer countdown (30 seconds instead of the current max of 15).

Great app with one annoy flaw. Overall I love the simplicity of this app. However it’s very frustrating that it can’t override the silence option on the iPhone, meaning I have to switch between silent and sound mode every time I use it. And if I forget, find my phone ringing loudly in a meeting the next day.

Nice and simple.. Good basic timer. The screen stays on the whole time. It would be nice if it was dimmed after a minute. Also having more options for the bell sound, like having three bells at the beginning and end.

All I need. Simple and straightforward. No complaints.

Great App!. Great App, I use it every day.

Zazen. It is a good app. However the original chime I remember went longer and slowly tapered out. This chime is just a bit too quick to finish

Elegant and Simple. Beautiful app that does what it says it going to do. The uses extend far beyond meditation.

Simple & useful. Perfect little time. No frills.

Don’t by it. It’s just a lost of money. The timer of my iPhone has a better use than this one. I was looking for a timer that can repeat. Don’t by it.

Just right. Can’t believe how hard it was to find a timer this simple! It’s exactly what I needed. Nothing more or less. Only thing I’d wish for is if the chime/sound could work while my other apps were silenced. But I doubt that’s up to the app so 5/5!

Great little meditation timer app. Simple interface, no unnecessary bells & whistles, just works for me. With my phone on mute, I get a gentle vibrate reminder of my chosen time intervals to help move me onto the next step in my practice session. If I'm running short of time, I can adjust the total session time downwards and the app calculates the intervals for me. Not a power hungry app like a more complicated one I used before. Elegant!

Great app. Useful app for Zazen

Does what it says on the tin.. A simple, beautiful, elegant timer that makes it easy to om on the go.

Zazen timer.. A simple timer great for zazen. Thanks guys!

It is what it is. And that's okay.

Simple Zazen Timer. Great app, gets the job done, and offers interval sounds (e.g. in a 30 minute meditation I can have a block at 15 min which is 1/2 interval setting or or at 10 and 20 min which is the 1/3 setting). Soft soothing Bell sounds at start and end and block hitting sounds at intervals if desired. I've been using this for a few days. Fantastic app!

Better Now with this. Thank you! I love switching from guided meditations to this treat of an app. I appreciate the work that has gone on behind this app which has helped me with a more peaceful meditation time. Keep up the great updates!

A Perfect, Simple Timer for Meditation. I have been using this timer for my meditation practice and am pleased with its performance. The controls are simple to use, the gong is clear sounding. You can break your timing into intervals of set duration (1 period; 2 equal periods; 3 equal periods; etc). Would be nice to be able to change the span of some of the periods. If I could change something I'd dim the app face as it has a way of lighting up the room. (instead, I just turn it over). Great product.

Kudos.. Great timer. Simple and elegantly Zen.

Zen simplicity. It’s simple. It’s effective. It’s purposeful.

Free & simple to use. Not much too it, and I haven't had really any issues. There have been times that my notification did not go off when the time ended, but that could be the phone as the timer was done. That's about it.

Good simple timer. You cannot make it too complicated… There's nothing to it :-). Mole design keeps your yoga practice focused on the yoga and not the timer. Would be 5 stars if more flexibility and interval timing.

Perfection. Perfect silent timer, perfect starting and ending gong.

Not optimized for new iPhones. Has not been updated for new phones; can’t start timer.

Simple. It is simple and elegant

Simple and elegant. That is all

No bell goes off. No bell goes of on mine. I wish it had some choices of bells and blocks to start and end meditation. Disappointed and want my money back.

Minimalist App. Simple and good.

Great for Zen meditation. Simple. Quiet. Easy to use.

Not what I was looking for. The adroid version allows to save meditations and have multiple times in one meditation. This is just silly. Do not upgrade. That just waste 1.99 and does nothing.

Perfect. A timer with a lovely bell. Exactly what I wanted for my meditation practice. Simple.

Simple Zazen Timer. Very simple. Clean. No ads. Like the easy way to set intervals. Would be nice to have a few choices for the interval sound. Current one is a bit harsh.

Just a timer. Just a timer with a pretty gong. No options to save meditation timings or add gongs during the duration. Using the timer in the stock Clock app works better.

Lovely. Ding Thunk Thunk Ding

User friendly, elegant, perfect. I've used other app timers for meditation. This is hands down the best. No frills, easy. Next best thing to a real singing bowl.

Simple Zazen Timer. In a world of increasing complexity, simple is beautiful. With an elegant design and minimal user interface, this app captures just what meditation is about: calm, peace, and self-awareness. Recommended for daily practice, or as a gentle reminder for any timed period of activity or rest, Simple Zazen Timer was a pleasure to find.

Zazen Timer. Beautiful and simple, Simple and effective!

Excellent App. Elegant and functional app. Does exactly what it says it does.

Perfect. Simple, elegant, no ads or popups and does exactly what you need. Sounds very similar to the real bowl and can also lock the screen and it still uses the custom bowl sound through the push notification. Look no further for your Zazen timer.

Awful gong tone. Sounds more like a television test pattern.

Still needs work...... Thanks for fixing the problem with not being able to use when silent mode. A great improvement.... HOWEVER— please work on the following: 1) options to adjust the interval setting. This should include intervals set by time (e.g., every 2, 5, 10 minutes) and greater number of equal intervals (for long meditation sessions — limiting it to four is not practical or desirable) 2) remove the “bong” sound that emits whenever the buttons are pressed - they’re annoying. A simple “click” or even complete silence would be preferable, given this app is ostensibly for purposes of meditation. 4) the sound used when “stop” is pressed (as an interruption or pause in one’s meditation) should not be the same as the loud gong sound signaling the end of the timed session. 5) a final refinement (subtle, but makes a difference) there should be about a two to three second delay between pressing the start button and the gong sound going off. This allows the user to disengage from their phone for a few seconds and assume whatever posture they are using while meditating, and more closely resembles the experience when meditating in a group and someone else sounds the meditation gong/bowl/chime Only then could I in good faith add a few more stars to my evaluation. So, for now, 1-1/2 stars is it. Previous post as follows: The only reason I still use this app is because I paid for it. The developers either don’t meditate themselves, or just didn’t think this one through. Who would design a meditation timer that does not work if you have your phone on silent?????! If I use this, I will be beeped, belled and bonged continually. Another oversight is the manner in which intervals can be set to sound during the meditation period. You can only determine the number of intervals, not their duration. This rather defeats the purpose. Finally, there is no choice for sounds used for start/end of meditation and intervals. Conclusion: keep looking, this one’s not fully cooked.....

Erm?. I don't see why you need this app as you can play your own music and turn on the normal timer app...
