LOVED this app... until the end tone quit working

‘Nuff said. The end timer doesn’t sound anymore until I am distracted from my zazen by my awareness that the timer should have sounded and I end my session and unlock my phone and press end, myself. Then it tells me I’m done. Most recent fix says it fixed this bug 10 months ago. Temporary fix, I guess. Two months in to using this app and now I have to delete it and find another one. Too bad because this app WAS perfect.

Doesn't work on silent mode

This app is EXACTLY what I wanted for meditating. No, subscription plans, no guided lessons, and no frills. Just a timer and a logger. The only major gripe I have is the app doesn't work on silent mode. The starting gong sound doesn't play in silent mode, and the ending gong never goes off. The app is only usable in ringer on mode with do no disturb turned off in order to hear the notification sound. If you have your phone automatically go to sleep after a few minutes of inactivity, your phone will go to sleep during the timer. When the timer goes off, you'll get a classic iOS notification sound rather than the gong. I usually put my phone on do not disturb or silent mode when Imeditate so I don't get distracted by notifications but this app doesn't let me do that.There is a "screen sleep" setting, but the app does not allow me to change it for some reason.

This app had one job

I guess I never knew what a habit of pressing my lock screen button I have. This app has only been useful to me the one or two times I forget to press the home lock button before I start meditating. If I do press it on accident there is no warning but the meditation timer turns off it will not alert me when meditation time is over. This makes the timer completely useless when you do this, as I cannot figure out how to make it work while on the lock screen. And today it turned off on its own, without me even touching the button! There seems to be a button to fix this but I can’t click it. You have one job timer! Everything else? Just right. Thank you for the effort, it’s almost there, but it’s simply useless when this happens hence one star.

It used to be more simple and delightful

Recently this app added a lot of features that I don’t care for but are impossible to avoid. It’s cluttered the app significantly. What actually upsets me the most however is that the chimes now sound terrible. It used to be that the sound of the three chimes at the end of the meditation were overlaid and allowed to resonate however with the recent update each chime prematurely stops the previous chime’s resonance which results in a very artificial sound and experience at the end of the meditation. I think I’ll just go find an app for reminders + sounds at this point.
