Ratings and reviews

simple and easy. app does have an option to stop interrupting calls and text during the timer if you want to. automatically turn back on after the timer stops. I set mine for 2 minutes. No ads. Free. If I had to suggest an improvement I would suggest a louder option. only because there is a lot of vibration and noise where I work. I have been doing my meditation at work because it drastically improves my productivity. I have an extra 40 minutes of productivity every 3 hours afterwards.

I really want to be able to say I simply love this app. I do love how simple it is, how it doesn't add extra distractions when I sit down to meditate. It's just a timer. However, it has a bug that really compromises its usefulness. Every so often, the timer doesn't go off. I eventually open my eyes to find a message saying that the app was unable to set the gong volume. This only happens occasionally, but it's often enough that I can't trust the app as a reliable timer.

Simple and effective. I love the black background and orange text, which is very unassuming in a dark meditation room. You can set any length of time, pause, restart. You can set the volume you want for the gong sound when the time is off, and it only sounds once (vs an alarm clock), so you don't have to turn the sound off - you can keep meditating if you want without noise disturbance.
