Meditation Time 2.0 4+

I started to consistently meditate last week. After doing the starter guided meditation for 30 minutes my body pains were gone that day. I haven’t felt pain free for many, many, months. Having my own business and dealing with clients add stress. Although I workout, apparently, I was not releasing mental stress. I had pain everywhere and I do not like to take drugs; therefore, I just deal with it. Some days, I do yoga ad gentle stretches too. But still most days I’m in pain. I can’t believe the very first day I did the guided meditation my body was so relaxed. It seems to be the only thing to give me deep stress relievers. I love the ability to use the background sounds and can rely on the timer to go off with the gong sounds I choose. So I am meditating daily anywhere between 15-30 minutes a day. Thank you developers. I appreciate this app. Namaste.

I try to use this app regularly and it doesn’t work. Sometimes it won’t gong on the intervals. Sometimes it does. Today, it made popping noises during the interval gongs. It sounded like distortion or peaking in the audio recording of the gong. Very loud pops compared to the quiet gong. And then at the end of the meditation, the gong did not sound. I find this all very distracting and it makes it difficult to sink into my meditation. Especially not trusting it will go off when I set it. So I set a backup alarm now to go off when the app malfunctions. I’ve never used this app and had all features work as expected. My boyfriend introduced me to this app and it works beautifully on his phone and iPad. He has older versions of both. I have a very recent iPad and iPhone. Possibly why? I don’t know. But I wish it would work so I could create some consistency in my practice when we meditate together and when I meditate alone. I will change this review to more stars when it starts working better.

I love this timer. I've used a few. For me, the apps that keep track of every detail obsessively are the worst. I started with those apps which appealed to my ocd but I became more and more stressed over a few years comparing myself to others and worrying what they think. When I started meditating, again, a few years ago, I committed to doing any amount of meditating every day—no guilt. Even today, if I can only get even 10 or 15 minutes it counts. This app lets you set a timer, your choice of sounds, interval alerts, and ambience if you want any. Even how loud you want the ambience. It has everything you need without making it overly complicated. When you are ready to break out on your own, this is the app I would recommend.
