1. 5/5Pure Source of Good Will and some

   I became aware of the existence of this app during a professional training on Mindfulness. My roommate kindly shared it with me and I am forever grateful to her. It was in February of 2015. Ever since then this app became an important part of my daily life. It is simple to navigate, trustworthy and supportive. I can follow my mentors and teachers in their latest practices and techniques. Or, I can explore something new and out of my comfort zone. Being with IT helped me to keep my practice in meditation continue to grow stronger. It is truly my daily routine and inspiration. I enjoy the genuine communal feeling that the creators of this app were able to create. It makes me feel close to my relatives abroad, as well as all the IT virtual relatives that share similar interests and motivation. The idea of live events became a prodigy. Ironically, pandemic made our IT community stronger and more resilient as you can always rely on a “just right “ practice to be available for your emotional needs during these uniquely trying times we are living right now. To the Team of those who keep a loving eye on this app and check its pulse with far more insight and vision that I can imagine, all my Love, Gratitude and Best Wishes. 💞Just continue to Be. Quick suggestion/inquiry: is it possible to create a reminder within this app for the live events? Something akin to the alarm clock on the day of the event, maybe within one hour of its start? Just a thought. Namaste ⚓️

2. 4/5Fantastic platform. Fantastic idea. Just a few things to consider…

   Nearly perfect. In terms of bugs, app crashes, buffering times, they just do not exists (possibly if your using a very old phone, but that’s on you). Organization of the app however, needs major work. On the Home Screen if you do a premium course or any course or challenge over multiple days, after the first session, that challenge is nowhere to be found. Unless you remember the exact name, or teacher you listened to, it’s an absolute pain finding your recently played episodes. Right now I have to go into one of the teachers I follow and then scroll down to a 31-day challenge she was featured in, just to continue where I left off on that challenge. No workaround exists that I have found easily, and I feel like I have put in a very good effort trying to pin this challenge or save it to my dashboard, but nothing. Only thing you can save of follow after challenges is the teacher you most recently listened too.. not the challenge itself. This is very frustrating, but then again, I just meditate it off and feel better. Overall excellent, but organization and ease of finding challenges and multiple day, multi-teacher course should be able to be easily saved or pinned somewhere where you can just go and listen too… and folders aren’t a great feature. It’s just kind of a mess. You should also be able to customize your Home Screen, or at the very least, your profile screen. So lack of this bumps it down a solid star

3. 5/5Fantastic app for less stress, more joy!!!

   Insight Timer is by far the greatest meditation (calming music, sleep aid, life teachers, entrainment, emotional support) resource on the planet! This app is what the internet was invented for!!! There are hundreds of generous teachers who put their content out for free in IT, just to give back to the world in gratitude. I subscribe to support the content providers who don’t have that luxury, and for the extras, but you can access most of the content for free, no ads and no strings. If you use any apps for meditation, anxiety help, sleep, etc., the content you are using is probably also here. I love the amazing variety of practices presented with no judgements - yoga, science-based, health improvement, new age, hypnosis, and on and on. Meditation can improve your outlook, productivity, sleep, health and general well-being. Insight Timer has helped me increase my joy, energy, wellness, and creativity. Suggestions for the developer: I would like to have more options for keeping track of favorites. There is so much content, I bookmark a lot of what I listen to. I would like to categorize them, or at least have a small list of ones I want to listen to most often. When I go to the list of my courses and choose one, it goes to the screen to pick a lesson. Can there be a way to go from that screen to the course description? Also, since any course I listen to just to try it goes on my list, can I take a course off my list, or pick my favorites? Thanks for a great app!!! Update: All of my suggestions were added, thanks!

4. 5/5What a resource!!

   I initially downloaded this app for the timer - a nice variety of authentic sounding bowls, blocks, and chimes. Fast forward four years and I'm continually blown away by the incredible amount and quality of the guided meditation content now available here! All for free!! With new recordings arriving each day, there's everything from basic breath work and mindfulness practices, to creative visualization and hypnotherapy, Yoga Nidra, meditations on specific topics (I've noticed everything from improving your ball game to having a healthy pregnancy!), children's meditations, meditations in a variety of foreign languages, music, and spiritual talks. While most of the offerings seem to be pretty secular, there are some which might appeal more specifically to people with backgrounds in Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity, Islam, Judaism, and probably other religions as well. There's everything from world renown spiritual leaders to up and coming teachers from around the world. I've found some real gems here and have bookmarked many more than I'll probably ever get to as I keep coming back to some favorites. I haven't gotten into the social aspect of this app, but that is also there for people who want that. I do enjoy seeing the charts of my practice over time and feel more centered and able to cope with life as I enjoy realizing the personal goals I've set. Thank you!!

5. 2/5Getting worse with each update

   They are moving further and further afield from the original point of this app, what was to be a solid and reliable timer for meditation. They seem to be focused now on adding what to me are pointless social media features like the new mood tracker. It wouldn't be such a big deal except every update also introduces new bugs which make the timer harder to use and less reliable. With this latest update, all the timers I had created were placed in a random order and I had to spend about 20 minutes putting them back in order. Now, when I change a timer and save it, it is saved out of order and I have to go back and put it in the correct order again, which, because the interface is so clunky, takes about 5 extra minutes. Worst of all, now about half of my mediation sessions are logged with the incorrect time and I have to go in and manually edit the logs to record the correct time. This also has such a poor interface that it takes way more time to do this than it should, especially since I now have to do it for about half of my sessions. As an example, one of my 35 minute sessions was logged as 7 and a half hours. Another 20 minute session was logged as an hour and a half. The whole point of this app, and the reason I had been using it for so long, was to accurately keep track of my meditation time so I could look back and see how I'm doing over a period of time. If things keep going in this direction, in a couple of updates this app will become useless to me.

1. 2/5

   the app is fine, but what is extremely infuriating is that if you don't use it for a week or two, you have to go through quizzes and a bunch of useless promo slides before you can access any of the app. it's infuriating. I've opened it because I can't sleep, now is not the time to force me to tell you all my goals...for the twentieth time. that's a really poor design choice

   the privacy breach should be illegal. read privacy policy. additionally the app got a lot worse. push up premium ads, even if you once had a yearly sub. this close to uninstalling because they increased the sub pushup amount AGAIN.

4. 5/5

   This is the only app I use every day. That speaks volumes. It helps keeps me calm, and gives me inspiration when life becomes stressful, and there is always something to listen to, or watch, or share.

5. 5/5

   I really like this app. It offers so much content for free that is refreshingly sincere and actually relevant to my needs. There's something for everyone here and navigating the enormous library is quite easy. I rarely leave app reviews but my excellent experience prompted me to do so.
