Insight Timer–Meditate & Sleep App Reviews

My favorite app!

Added 04/2016: this little app just keeps getting better. The connectivity is a nice feature but you dont have to be public about when or where you choose to practice. I love the many options for types of practice and the expanding library of guided meditations.

I use the guided meditation everyday, it is great because there is multiple guides I use to clear my mind.

I think the app is a great tool- it reinforces the practice and gives the extra push when needed with the guided meditations.

Beautiful design. The features you need, and more, but the "more" does not intrude. A polished app. Feels non-commercial. A cyber sangha. Get it today.

It can, in a simple and non- intrusive way, "ritualize" your meditation practice. Its always with you in places where a bowl wouldnt be so it supports regular and consistent practice. The ability to chose your own bell tone, volume, etc. makes it easy, and fun to customize. Rob Walk

I love this app and use it almost everyday. Ive recommended to my friends!

Insight timer is easy to use just as a timer, with customizable bells and presets. But there are resources like talks and community for those who want them. I think its nice to see youve been meditating with x number of other people at the end of your session but you can turn this off if it bothers you. I think the battery issue has been fixed but you can always quit apps instead of letting them run in the background if youre really concerned about battery life anyway.

This app improves the quality of my life, and is an outstanding public service.

This app helps my meditation practice and connects me to others I learn from. I so appreciate it! Thank you!

This app works!

My favorite thing is sharing greetings with the thousands of people who meditated at the same time as me. Talk about connectedness. So cool.

Great interface. Helpful for my meditation practice. Thank you.

Love this app!

Pretty much the best timer app Ive used, Insight Timer has all the features (multiple bells, multiple strikes, strike delay) that I usually only find half of in other apps. I dont use them much but the social features seem nice as well. The only down side is that the apps background processing recently seems to take up 70% of my phones battery if I let it run. No idea what its trying to do, but as long as I force-quit it after using it works great. It looks like they recently fixed a similar bug so I assume this one will be fixed soon also. The developers seem to be very responsive.

I use this every day and have for years. Its simple and elegant. Lots of options if u want them or just keep to bare bones as I do. I recommend it to everyone and all my friends now use it. Thank you to the smart, kind developers.

Not only did I get a better chime than my standard phone offerings but I can track my practice (useful for when I am establishing my off/on routine) and be connected to others. So it is like I have a virtual sangah.

This is a great app for beginners or advanced meditators alike. Highly recommended.

"Really helps to organize your sessions. I will give it 5 stars when they add multiple session alarms per day, as is done on retreat in a monastery." Okay, that was done--4.5 stars. Now I want the volume control on the display screen, guys. Then I give 4.75 stars. Okay, that was done. Now I. Want to be able to select an audio track to play at the beginning, middle, and end of sessions (for guided meditation and method reminders), then 4.9 stars.

It is very irritating that now I am forced out of landscape view. Why did this change?
