Insight Timer–Meditate & Sleep App Reviews

Its a great app and a fun way to subtly feel part of a meditating community and lots of great guided meditation choices! Love it!

Love this app. I use it daily to meditate to the monks chants. I especially appreciate seeing how many other meditators are meditating with me. I would like to see other options for monks meditating and for the vibration to work to end the meditation. The bells and wood block sounds are too loud and scare me at the end of the meditation. Great app. Thanks.

Very useful, am using it almost on a daily bases as I am a beginner in the meditation process

This app has helped me add depth and consistency to my prayer and meditation practice. The simplicity is wonderful and the addition of music was truly inspired.

Insight Timer is an invaluable tool to help your spiritual journey through meditation. Over the past 6 months since I have used it, I have witnessed its transformation from a clunky old generation app to a more polished app with wonderful features to help your meditation practices, the timer, various bells and bowls, session record, journaling, guided meditations, reminders, and most importantly, a vibrant community of meditators who love to help and support each other. It is always fun to see who are meditating with you around the world and realize that though we may be practicing alone physically, we are deeply connected with the universe and with other beings. For some who prefer just be in their own solitude, the Timer offers option to turn the social features off with ease. Hence, it can accommodate different styles and preferences. I have been practicing more consistently and enjoying my experience more since I used the app. I especially love the guided meditation feature as it allows me to discover great teachers and wonderful meditations that I wasnt aware of before. Overall, I love this app and have been using it daily.

Love the options on meditations, guides, etc and all for free

look no further for an excellent meditation app--this is it

For a meditation app, look no further. Comprehensive, community-building, and engaging. It simply improves your life.

This was the best meditation timer on the market, until one update when suddenly you need to register and login to use it. WHY do I need to give you my information to use a timer with pretty sounds. The app is unusable unless you register so I deleted it from my phone. Went from awesome to trash. DO NOT DOWNLOAD!

Good for meditating. I used to set the alarm in my iPhone for meditating, and it was too noisy for coming out of that relaxing state. This App is just perfect for that.

Ive been using Insight Timer since 2011. I still use it often, especially when Im not in my regular meditation space. I agree with other reviewers that there is a major flaw in the latest version: it pauses when a notification comes in, and DOESNT RESUME. Which means there is no closing bell. I like all the new features, especially groups, and the option to include in my stats extra time I meditate after the bell. However, the MOST IMPORTANT reason I use this app at all is so I dont have to keep checking the time when Im deep in meditation (or looking for yet another reason to get distracted). Without that capability, I cant use the app to actually meditate, and I might as well go back to a timer or another app. Please fix this soon!

I like all the possible settings for the timer such as multiple bells and intervals. It is fun seeing and sending a message to people meditating around the world, too!

I use this app 2x per day while meditating. No issues. Great functionality, customization, and community. Highly recommended.

This app is very easy to figure out, very easy to use, and very adaptable. The guided meditations are very useful too. I do have two suggestions regarding those: First, there should be a search function so you dont have to search potentially all 499 to find one on, lets say, Sleep; and second, the Back button should take you back to where you just came from rather than the top of the list ( you could always add a top button for that). A solid 3-1/2 stars but would easily be four with some nav/search tweaks.

Put me to sleep.

Easy to use, and very helpful in my meditation.

amazing versatile app with a fantastic community
