Ratings and Reviews
Allows background sound!
I’ve tried a half dozen similar meditation timer apps. This is the ONLY ONE which allows background audio from a totally different app to keep running when it plays a bell sound. (Context: I have a separate white noise generator running) All the other timer apps “grab control” of all audio and silence everything happening in order to play their bell.
Thanks for playing well with other apps!
Not too simple, not too complex
I have tried several meditation timers. Some of them were just too complicated, and I spent my attention fussing with settings instead of meditating. Samsara is just right -- it has every feature I need, but no superfluous distractions. Also, there is no "online community" ( huge distraction in a competitor's app).
I particularly like Samsara's graphic: a circular arc that gradually completes to a full circle. In addition to being elegant, it lets me see how much time is left without putting on my glasses.
Update: the problem I have with Samsara now is that it uses a lot of power. Since I started meditating more, I find that Samsara is using more of my battery than any other app!
My favorite meditation app
I've been using this app for several years. It's got really nice authentic sounding gongs and chimes you can select, and it's really comfortable to toss in between any meditation class i'm teaching without distracting everyone with "technology". The UI is simple and pleasant and the developer is continuously keeping up to date with it. Occasionally adding new features. I always recommend it to friends and fellow teachers.
