Simple Meditation Timer 4+

I love this app, it's my favorite meditation timer in the app store! The only thing that would make it better is having a silent (no bell) option to end. Perhaps if the circle gently strobed at the end to give you a visual hint that would be a nice and elegant way to end. Anyway it's wonderful! Also I wish to report a couple bugs: sometimes the bell doesn't go off at all for some reason, and also sometimes when resetting after a session the circle doesn't fully reset and has a strange "gap" in the circle. Restarting the app fixes this. I meditate for 1 hour sessions if that helps. Thanks so much for this!

Also if you wanted to add a neat feature, the ability to select a ringtone or music file to end with would be nice! That way one could have chanting automatically start or have a relaxing stream sound play or whatever one liked! Thank you so much! ❤️

I’ve been looking for a very simple timer with an elegant interface, and this fits the bill nicely. There is one feature they could add that would make it simply perfect — an option to NOT show the numbers while it’s running. I only want to see the circle diminishing as time runs out.

UPDATE: ...and I suppose an option to hide the iOS Status Bar. (They just added it in the latest update. :-/) They also might reduce the brightness of (or hide entirely) the dot at the bottom when you’re on the main screen and the timer is running. Maybe just an overall “Hide interface while timer is running” switch..?

Go minimalism! :-)

Well, like so many Apple apps, there are always more problems than they’re worth. Despite setting this up to record sessions with Apple’s Health function, it doesn’t. I can’t say what the problem is but Apple has so many restrictions with how we can do things as well as how apps can function on their phones that this problem is not unique to this app. So it most likely has more to do with Apple than the app itself. Apples so called walled in garden has become a high security electric fenced in prison yard guarded by armed militia over the past 15 years. This will most likely be my last Apple phone if not product altogether. The limitations are just not worth the cost. I need technology that “just works”. Not toys that serve as front doors to subscription services. I sure do miss the Apple of two decades ago.
