1. 4/5Very 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. PS- I wish I didn’t have to close the app and reopen it every time I use it. That’s not helpful. It would also be nice if it displayed the length of meditation time it is set for in the main screen, because sometimes I want to adjust it. Overall though, it’s still simple and uncluttered, and I like that.

2. 5/5Perfect 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!!

3. 3/5No way to turn off annoying ads. Missing basic features.

   Two pointless dialog windows appear within the app that I have to click through every single time a session ends and then an ad appears that I have to wait for. Plus there’s always an ad at the top of the app and there’s no premium version, so there’s no way to get rid of them. You can get rid of them for two days if you watch an ad, which means I’d have to watch 183 ads a year to use a simple timer without ads. That’s completely insane! I like the customizability of the timer but there’s no way to create more than one of them, so if I do different kinds of meditation sessions, I have to change the settings each time. This is ridiculous. And why require me to give the timer a name if it’s the only one I can create? With the reminders, there should be an easy way to pause or silence them all for a time. Finally, the background images are extremely old and low resolution. They need to be updated to use the full resolution of modern devices.

4. 5/5Love 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.

5. 2/5Excellent 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.
