Insight Timer Deluxe

Great app but bell keeps going off intermittently even when not on app.

Purchased this app a long time ago and suddenly I have to register. (And now I forgot the password again)

The best meditation tool on android bar none. 600,000 user social network of like minded meditators world wide. Beautiful bells, great controls and fun stats if you are into them. The Meditation Map is very cool.

Tapped on guided tab, tried to search fails.. Doesn't allow me to enter name, therefore can't search. Need to use it for a course, upgraded to deluxe version to see if it works but to no avail. Also doesn't allow me to set the time on the reminder. Doesn't record all my sessions

... The only option I miss is the option of the open-ended meditation. I want to record my meditation time, but don't want to set a timer for this particular meditation session. Perhaps an option to set an open-ended meditation that shuts off when the app is closed, in case someone forgets to shut it off...?

I was sceptical about doing meditation with an app. Also I was a complete rookie in meditation at all. This app however convinced me very quickly. Just power for your soul.

It'll be good if an unlimited timer can be added instead of having to add a preset for 23 hours.

While meditating, the gentle bell reminders keep me focused or bringing back my monkey mind to the session. Knowing that I'm meetings with thousands of others gives me a sense of peace without feeling like I've been intruded upon. Excellent app.

I use this well done app daily.

This android app is a very differnt app from the itunes...i have paid $7.00 and cannot hear background music...only singing bowls. There are free apps that do more. Very very dissapointed!

Essential and Excellent!

After a year whit insight timer: the best app for my meditation time !!!

Been using this app for over 3 years with great results. Had some glitches before but new version works flawlessly. It definitely helps you be consistent in your practice. Keeps getting better and better.

Insight Timer Deluxe

I have revised my opinion, this product has become far too complex and "social" I do not seem to be able to use it without logging in. Just when simplicity is needed it becomes more complicated!

This app used to be great but the developer now requires registration, saying it's necessary because some users want to sync it with a computer.Why not require those users, and only those users, to register? And the rest of us can use the app as it originally was when we paid for it. I purchased with a warm faith in the character of the developers, a trust which now feels misplaced.

I like the timer set up and flexibility with the different bells. It fails to capture all of sessions, even when selecting option to record partial sittings. That part really bums me out.

If you're serious about your practice this will help you stay motivated and connect with other beautiful seekers

I loved this app, until the update that required registration. I used to be able to store all the presets I wanted without registering. Why change that? Update: in fact, it seems like I can't use it at all without registering. This is an act of bad faith on the part of the developers.

I've used this for years and loved it, except for the social rubbish. To me, social interaction is the antithesis of meditation. (Just sayin') Now it seems like that ugly journal page assaults me before and immediately after my sitting, even though I supposedly have it turned off. If I have to be jarred by a "sharing" page and personal tracking log before and after meditation, can you please make it less ugly? Maybe a softer, darker color, instead of banana yellow? And a more pleasant design? Thanks.

I really like this app for the basics, but I wish the search on the guided meditation would work. That is why I gave a 3.

Update: For some reason the stats are wonky. It says that I have missed days when I have not. Minus a star for that. Review: The new interface works well and is gorgeous! And the interval bells are exactly what I needed, and the bell sounds are lovely.

Over the years I have used Insight Timer, it has become the most flexible and un-intrusive meditation timer of the many I have tried. And the ongoing development make each new version even better.

I have been using this app for several years, and was glad to find it also available on Android when I switched from an iPhone to Fairphone 2. However, the app (paid version) still doesn't allow me to adjust the duration of mediation. It's set at 10 min., and I'm not able to change it. Does anyone know how to fix this? Also, I agree with the other reviewer that the app has become a bit too "social"...

Love it very much.

The meditation reminder is useless. It sounds randomly.

This app's developers are playing Follow The Loser by modeling themselves after the increasingly intrusive fad of wanting (not needing) to know what people are doing and when. Privacy invasion is anathema to a meditative mind, and turns "features" into cringeworthy euphemisms to be avoided. The sound of their glorious bells may be the Pied Piper's flute to some, but I, for one, will pass.

Used to be nice. Don't like the sign in feature. Don't care who is meditating all over the world. Again, used to like it, now not so much. Trying to sign in on a new phone. This is a huge waste of time.

The best meditation app out there. Shout out to the devs, shout to being present to the moment, shout out to those monks in Tibet keeping it real.

I love that I can program length of meditation, bells and the intervals I want those bells. All of this can be saved in presets so it's always ready to go. It also keeps track of your time spent meditating which can be motivational for some.

Love the choices for guided meditations, times and bell options, for sharing support, journal and log, etc. Have recommended it to many, and they also love it.

I loved this app before the latest upgrade. Now it sends me sound notifications when I get a comment on one of my messages...even when I am sleeping. I have changed my formerly 5 star rating

Too much journal, stats, social etc for what I want to use it for.. I loved it when it was mainly a timer. Will look for another simpler timer.

Updated: not liking that log/journal is now buried in the back somewhere. Have to go to profile/settings/journal for something that was up front before... give option to put it on home page - I'm far more interested in tracking my meditations than seeing who else in the world is meditating. Glad to see now can sync between devices. Wish Android version had password protection for the journal which my iPad version had. Would be nice to scroll and edit text decently - writing this sucked. 5 stars to 2

Really like the re-design - lots of nice minimal touches. Huge thanks to the developers for the love and care they've lavished on this special app!

The timer works well, but navigating the app is still cumbersome. And the graphs are hard to access.

I use this app for my daily meditation, and also to help me fall asleep (their yoga nidra guide meditation is one of the best I've ever used ). Awesome app.!!!

Insight Timer really adds to my meditation experience! And the app is improving based on user feedback

It's everything I can imagine needing in a meditation app. And gets better and better

I've had the paid version for several years, & watched the interface get *harder* to use. E.g., I can't find a way to change the number of closing bells. Also, after my phone died, I had to redefine all of my presets, which an account backup should make unnecessary. Overall, needs a better FAQ or a clear user manual.
