About Meditation Helper Plus

This is a brand new version of Meditation Helper - see my other app listings for the older versions. It is an almost complete re-write, an attempt to make the application simpler to use, yet more powerful.

Any feature in Meditation Helper Pro is now available for free in MH+. The only features I will charge for are those that don't already exist in Meditation Helper Pro.


Core Features (free to use)
------------------------------------
* Multiple sitting configurations
* Can have different sounds for different interval bells
* Configure actions to execute during the sitting, including:
* Ring a bell (3 bell sounds included)
* Play an MP3 track
* Additional actions are available for subscribers.
* Toggle to keep phone awake during sitting
* Toggle to keep phone silent during sitting
* Toggle to keep phone unlocked during sitting
* Toggle to vibrate phone instead of ringing bells
* Record a comment for a sitting in the sitting log
* Can have multiple widgets on the home screen, with each widget having a different associated reminder, start of day time etc
* Can configure the widget colour
* Add reminders without a widget.


Additional Feature for Subscribers
------------------------------------
* Execute Tasker task action (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm)
* Display a notification with configurable message and notification sound
* Display a random message from Nom (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.multiordinal.nom)
* Text to Speech action - have a custom phrase spoken to you during sitting (TTS also available with Nom action)
* Send broadcast when sitting starts/pauses/resumes/ends (for e.g. Automagic).
* Request prompt to rate your sitting when it ends.

Widget
------------------------------------
The widget is my implementation of Jerry Seinfeld's productivity secret (http://lifehacker.com/281626/jerry-seinfelds-productivity-secret):

------------------------------------
"He said the way to be a better comic was to create better jokes and the way to create better jokes was to write every day. But his advice was better than that. He had a gem of a leverage technique he used on himself and you can use it to motivate yourself—even when you don't feel like it.

He revealed a unique calendar system he uses to pressure himself to write. Here's how it works.

He told me to get a big wall calendar that has a whole year on one page and hang it on a prominent wall. The next step was to get a big red magic marker.

He said for each day that I do my task of writing, I get to put a big red X over that day. "After a few days you'll have a chain. Just keep at it and the chain will grow longer every day. You'll like seeing that chain, especially when you get a few weeks under your belt. Your only job next is to not break the chain."

"Don't break the chain," he said again for emphasis."
------------------------------------

The chain in this case is the number of consecutive days that you have hit your meditation target. The widget displays both the current chain, and the longest ever chain. Having this on my home screen motivates me to meditate every day. Your mileage may vary.

Simple and easily customisable timers, but it may take a bit to get used to the UI. You can set separate widgets with different times, to show a running total of sessions. The bells are the best I've heard. Developer active and responds to questions quickly. Would like to see option to set meditate time to what is remaining for the day.

I loved the old app for its simplicity. My first impressions of this app left me with many questions and the developer answered them within 24 hours. After giving it another go I still prefer the old version. This one needs more internal documentation. I don't like having to use widgets. It doesn't appear to note missed days. The old app showed red for missed days. Granted, I tested this by manual entry so maybe it does show red for non manual entry.

Only first week is free. Bells don't work anymore. Pro version used to be fine.

Had been using Meditation Helper Pro for years, only just realized this existed now. Super excited to see this new app as it simply builds on the awesome that was MH Pro! Only issue I saw was as first I didn't realize how you setup meditation sittings as there is no menu / button for it.

Have been using the previous version for many years. Switched to this after the new Android 6.x Doze feature messed up timer setting beyond 1hr. The new bell sounds nice.

Tried several meditation timer apps. This one gives great features for free. Could do with option to save multiple different sitting times, but really simple to reconfigure, add/ remove interval gongs (long-click to remove - Neill has been very fast and helpful when I had feedback), nice gong sounds, or from within app can set to vibrate, set phone to silent, stay awake, etc. Happy :) Thank you!

Using old app for a long time. How to import sittings? Also, where are functions to tell me about trends, etc?
