Insight Timer - Meditation App for Android
I love this app and cannot recommend it high enough. Doctors orders are to meditate daily. I had learnt how to meditate a while ago and was using that method however i started wondering about other techniques. I came across this app and it is just what i am after. It offers a huge variety and also has educational talks allowing me to broaden my knowledge. The option of searching for a particular time length is brilliant. Namaste
I love the app! The only thing I don't like are all of the guys using it to find dates. It's surprisingly overwhelming, distracting, and unwanted. I am discouraged to make like-mind friends or join groups to become part of this community because of their creepy interest.
Good variety of type, length and subject. It's helped me get back to meditating. I can choose a different one each day and bookmark my favourites so they are easy to find. Wish I could use the guided meditations offline as my wi fi access is very patchy. The latest update is so slow it stresses you out just trying to get any of it to load. Please fix asap.
I use this app every single day. I use the music for things such as studying or reading which is great because I can set up a goal such as I am going to read for the entirety of this meditation. I use the thousands of guided meditations to put me in the right head space. They have something for everyone, the body walking ones are great for helping you fall asleep, there are ones that you listen to first thing in the morning and they put you in the best mood for the day. These are great if you have issues with staying. I use the timer to just to meditate, which has the options of several different background noises if you so choose, you can adjust if you're timing meditation, yoga, walking, ect (I wish there was a customization feature for this though). You can also buy other music bundles for this feature. I use the groups as a way to surround myself with positive people. You can join different groups, and the community as a whole is very positive. It also provides stats on your meditation, which is cool to see.
I loved this app. I used it every night to help me sleep and for meditation each morning. It's been slow to laod but I was willing to look past that because it was worth the wait. Now for the last two weeks the guided meditations pause wveey 5-10 seconds. I can not listen to any guided or talk. Very disappointed. HOPE This gets worked out soon. I miss sleeping so well.
I was so excited about this app and the first 10 minute meditation was great. When I picked a second 20+ minute recording though it cut off before it was actually over and totally messed me up. I wanted to go back to that spot to finish but the app doesn't let you scroll through the recording time. Fix the bug or at least give us the tools to work around it!
The filters don't seem to work where I try to only look for 5-10 minute meditations, yet 20 and 30 come up so there are so many meditations that it can end up overwhelming and a waste of time searching. I find the timer to be the most useful part of the app.
It had better navigation. Now, its confusing. It just loves to tell you what everyone else is doing, groups - I don't care. I just want to find my collection so I can pick one to meditate too. The home screen other than an fleetingly interesting map is pretty redundant. The 'earphone' screen should be the home screen. Cant seem change that in settings. Its other wise the only mefitation app. I use , but coukd do without all the things of what other people are doing unless I go looking for it.
A wonderful app. Really worth 5 stars but at the moment, it has playback issues. 30 minute recordings will play maybe 10-20 minutes, then cut off. The app says then the 30 min recording has been completed in full. Please fix. Thank you :)
I wish I could give it 100 stars. This app is the best of all apps I have ever seen. I was floored by the first 5 minute meditation I did..... Oh thank you so so much for this app, it couldn't be more wonderful! It has helped me to be more peaceful. Thank you so much
This app is amazing - when it works. The guided meditations often cut out after 10 to 20 minutes, midway through a recording. The app then says the recording has been completed in full. There is no way to get back to where the recording was at without starting from the beginning and listening all the way through again. This leaves me feeling angry and frustrated - not at all the state I set out to achieve by using this app. When this bug is fixed my rating will change to five stars - everything else is excellent.
A great app for finding good community centered around loving-kindness and meditation. As far as app development goes the only thing I would suggest is in the "Stream" tab of groups have somewhere denoting what group each post is from.
Sorry that I updated to this most recent version; I would have given the older one 5 stars. The timer part works fine, but the other features are unpredictable and not as user friendly. My last inquiry to the help forum got kicked off because I expressed my frustration with the app (not in an inappropriate way).
Used to be my favorite app! Past couple of days everything is extremely slow to load whether I am on Wi-Fi or on data. And Pages do not load fully:(
I've benefited a lot from Insight Timer, but it seems like it worsens with every update. The efforts at simplification have only made it more complicated, and it's become harder to both sit and connect with friends due to all of the new issues that were created over the past two months. This does not to mention all of the major privacy issues, especially around friend lists. This app used to be amazing but now it's only okay. I hope the developers remedy the problems soon.
The best meditation app currently available imo. It doesn't make you pay for add ond, allows for guided meditations as well as simply a timer, and tracks your progress and stats. The guided meditations are incredibly varied aswell.
Simply the best & it's free. What these guys are doing is pure unadulterated services to humanity. The developers deserves an award. This app literally changed my life. Thank you beyond words :D
I don't actually enjoy the newest updates because it takes longer for the app to open now. Can I also suggest that there's a rating options for meditation sessions you have on your own?
Almost always just stops the meditation at a random point, which is very irritating, couldn't find any information on this bug anywhere either. Other than that, I love the app, but it's half useless because of that.
In the last few months it's started cutting out about 20 mins into the meditation, and just makes a clicking sound like the end of a vinyl record. I notice a few other people have reported this too. Very disappointing in what used to be a great app
Best meditation app I have used. So much experience, insight and wisdom packed into a tiny app! Very reliable in content, especially with endoresements from top teachers, who offer meditations on the app as well. Whatevwr your dilemma of the day is, if you need a 'friend' to help, they are here, ready to offer wise words. Hoping you all benefit from it. Thank you to its creators. Namaste.
Would like to use but there's no way to just use the timer without registration. Couldn't get going very quickly so had to resort to using another app.
Absolutely different from the lot. It is better than any other paid app in the market. I would suggest to add a do not disturb mode as well so that phone calls and other notifications during the meditation can be blocked.
I'm devastated! I can't play any of the meditations as it says I have no internet connection. I'm connected to my wifi and have done everything I can think of to solve this issue.
It opens just once a day. Any subsequent attempt to launch this app will invariably leave me with the loading screen for the rest of the day. The only fix I found is reinstalling it, this gives one more try of the app but once I close the thing, we're back to the loading screen. I can't understand why it does this, it just does. I'm running Nougat, please fix the problem
This is the best meditation app I've used. With so many choices, I can find the best guided meditation for my particular experience in life. Guided or not, it's a beautiful way to bring mindfulness into life. Thank you for developing this app!
This app has SO MUCH content!! The bells and ambient sounds on the timer itself are great, & the guided meditation selection is excellent. I stay motivated to not skip days even when I'm blue by looking at my milestones. This app also shows you who is meditating when you are, & it's inspiring to see a whole world of meditators out there!!
An amazing app. Highly recommended. I can't play long tracks though. it cuts off. Not sure if it's an Android/phone issue or the app. Others have the same problem.
Very, very sad to go. Used to be a fantastic app until it stopped working. Can't even get a few minutes into any meditation without the app hanging. Such a pity!
I've been wanting to establish a daily meditation practice for years. This app was the tool I needed to finally make it happen. It's highly versatile and filled with a diverse array of guided meditations. Truly wonderful.
Just to use timer, why I have to register. I understand the benefit it may provide on for registered user, but that should be optional as lots of other apps do. I used this app in the past and use to work good, but now this registration requirements is just too much.
Love this app!! Has truly been a lifesaver. Battling insomnia, bipolar depression and borderline personality disorder. It's truly helping me to change my life.
Like the app, but the last update prevents it from rotating into landscape view which is extremely inconvenient on an 8 inch tablet that stays on a stand. Why?
Why do I need an account to use a timer? I get that there are social features that require it, but offer a limited functionality option for non logged in users!!!
I seriously love this app I love the wide range of meditations and the number of meditations raises everyday. And since all the meditations are rated its easy to find the right one for you. I also love the social network behind it, gotta say happiest social network I've ever been on. The people are nice and full of great advice and creativity. Thank you for making such an excellent app!
Why is it so slow? I think it needs to be updated! It's such a shame the app is so laggy and slow otherwise it would be great
update - no vibration off option or dark mode for nightime; less user control; skews more toward social media now
I'm currently having a problem with the app.. meditation stops loading in between even if my internet connection is working.. Please fix this issue.. because it interrupts my meditation..

I just starred to learn how to really meditate and this app is amazing. I can't beleive how I feel after just 2 days. My new favorite app. Thanks! A week has passed and I love this app. So many teachings, guided audios for just about everything you need. Learning about chakras and so much more. I love the people, and the support groups. They never make you feel dumb for asking questions and are always helpful. I am on this app so much. I would give it 100 stars if I could.
