Insight Timer–Meditate & Sleep App Reviews

The developer works constantly to improve this excellent app. It had its short comings but in the last year most if not all of them have been addressed.

I have been using this app for a long time and it was great before, even better now after the big update. It keeps track of your meditation times, connects you to the larger community in a variety of ways (but you can also opt out). You can see your friends meditating, there are groups you can join, tons of guided meditations with reviews, and lots of options for your silent meditation (length, interim bells, beginning and end bells Etc. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to meditate and I have! Thank you for this wonderful app!

Excellent meditation tools, nice community interaction, and, having used this app for some years now, I can say the last version is awesome.

Great meditation app- flexible timer option and many guided meditations to choose from.

Great way to keep track of your meditation habits and great platform for getting moral support and also connecting to others who prioritize meditation in their lives and sometimes at the exact same time as you! Also, you can choose how long to meditate on your own but can also select from available guided meditations! The only thing I want is more options on the bells and music I can use. Thats why I give it 4 stars.

Lots of great customizable options. Highly recommended!

Right now, my battery stats say 76% of used power in the last 24 hours went to this app and 6% went to the NY Times app, which was the 2nd highest battery user. This is a problem because my phone is barely making it through the day. This app had 32 minutes on screen and the NY Times app had 18 minutes. So powering the display lighting while on screen isnt the problem. The problem is apparently whatever this app is doing in the background--which should be absolutely nothing. (The battery stays specifically mention background activity.) A couple weeks ago there was a notice when I opened the app that said that a battery problem had been fixed and that the app should be updated. But all my apps were updated at that time from the App Store, and continue to be updated. I have the latest version that has been made available to me. Whatever Insight Timer is doing to waste battery life is in the app publishers interest, not the users. Im going to look for another meditation timer app.

I dont usually bother writing reviews but Insight Timer is so good, I want as many people as possible to try it out! Super flexible, with lots of guided meditations for various levels and, of course, a good, easy to use timer. Ive used several other meditation apps but Insight Timer is far and away the very best Ive used.

My favorite meditation app. I give it 5 stars and I use it twice a day. Thank you :)

Thank you for creating this. I enjoy the variation and the ability to bookmark the meditations I want to replay.

Took some time to get used to but now I like it. Its the only timer I use.

Excellent!

Great app - does exactly what I need it to do. Love it!!!

This app has added a structure to my intention to gain peace, focus and connection. I recommend it to my friends as often as possible.

Love: -functionality -choice of sounds -seeing whos meditating with you both near and far

Great app! Thank you.

Noooo. This used to be the best app I had! Ive used it daily for over a year. The basic functionality still works but I dont like the new interface - harder to set interval timers when I want them (long drag n drops, confusing to try to set one 3 min before the end regardless of the total time) and its hard to tell how loud the bell will be so I have to test it each time. Also instead of "stop" it says "finish early" which brings me guilt. Lastly when a call comes through during meditation, the timer is paused!! I have to open my eyes to re-start it. Bring it back!

Do NOT like new version because I would like to end session looking at tag lines of people I have just meditated with. Profile pictures are useless to me and I can barely read the tag lines on the list of people currently meditating--white print is so hard to see.

It does everything I want a timer to do. And its nice to know Im meditating with so many :)

Im unable to find where to send suggestions within the app... I use this app to deliver bells at 5, 10, or 15 minute intervals throughout the day. These are reminders to return to peace / truth / love. I used to be able to do this successfully but now the app constantly pauses itself as I do other functions on the phone, specifically those that include sound, so then hours later I realize I havent heard any bells. This may seem like a feature for those whose meditation is interrupted, but for my purposes this makes the app unsuitable for my purpose. I suggest adding a setting where the user can disable the "auto pause" functionality.
