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. 5/5Sleep and knowledge seeker to recovery and A global hug

   I joined insight timer at the end of 2020, to find a way to help me sleep. I found a teacher I loved, that taught abhyanga - I had never heard of this, but The teacher made it so intriguing, I had to learn more. This teacher was a absent for a while, and soon I found the IT morning meditation challenge in 2021. That expanded my mind even more. But still, I didn’t spend much time on IT. Not until I had major surgery and could take time off from work. I dove into daily lives, and the world seemed to open up. I feel more grounded now, more hopeful, more held. I now follow a few teachers every time they are on, I do my best to join in the lives. Now, I am going back through the massive library of meditations, bedtime stories, music, talks, to fill the spaces in between. There is literally something for everyone - movement- like yoga and dance, massage, music, singing, art, journaling, book club/ readings, spiritual teachings, Christian teachings, psychology, Ayurveda, readings, astrology, etc! The list goes on! and lives offered at all times a day to suit your time zone, many teachers record their lives, and have other recorded offerings. Maybe best of all are the groups, so you have a community of people with similar interests. Thank you Insight Timer! Next I will sign up for the very low cost annual membership so that I have access to another entire library of courses. Thank you for being here for all of us! It is really a magnificent gift to the world.

4. 5/5Reliable and helpful for all ages

   Our family has loved Insight Timer for years now. Nearly every update has been an improvement on an already great app. We use it when putting our little ones to bed at night (and we’re too exhausted to tell them a story or sing to them ourselves). My 8-yo particularly loves Cori Cochiolo, especially her Heidi, Cherry, and Vaya series. Our kids often turn it on when they go to sleepovers, especially if they’re having trouble falling asleep. Their friends usually start using it, too. Personally, I’ve used it for myriad things…. It’s a fantastic support / encouragement for staying consistent with my meditation practice. It helps me fall asleep, whether that be music, stories, or guided meditations. It helps me go back to sleep. Sometimes I've participated in their courses and challenges (I’d like to do more of them). I’ve reconnected with some of my favorite Kripalu teachers from years past, who are active on this site. I’ve even found super helpful sessions that help me wake up in the mornings with a positive mindset (even before coffee!!). I could not recommend this app more highly. The options are endless, and you can financially support the content creators as/when you’re able…so you can use it regardless of your financial state. I view it as having a personal meditation “trainer” come to my home a few times a day, for support and guidance. For me, that’s priceless.

5. 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!

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.
