Zazen Meditation Timer

was having issue after update on my LG but after going to developer's website for one final attempt (thank goodness I did), found instructions on how to get it to work again (& learned something new about world of android platforms!) LG platform is tricky, supposedly, but after a simple but deeply embedded change in setting, it works now. thank you! (aesthetically, i liked the old look though, but just glad this great app is up & working again.)

This app used to be great and is now unusable. phone is left in silent mode even after timer is done. 1/3 the time, the bell doesn't go off when time is out (real problem with that). Hope he fixes this as it used to be great

Brilliant meditation timer. Been using it daily for years now. Includes everything you need, no ads, looks great. A big thank you to the developer!

This is pretty much perfect in everyway. Keeps it very simple to set up custom mediation times. Makes it easy to adjust sounds. Silences your phone during the meditation!

Amazingly simple. Had the persistent "do not disturb" bug, but I just turned off the options and did the necessary muting myself.

I use this for all kinds of timed interval uses including meditation, my Miracle Morning routine, and interval training in my musical instrument practice. This app is incredibly useful.

i, too, have the said bug, settings not restored after session finish.

Awesome! I've decided to stop getting fooled by those money-minded mindfulness apps, and was pleased to find this one! Thanks Dev!

Love it but recently had a bug that stops the timer during meditation. Is that fixed ?

The latest version will not unmute after I've finished meditating. I am using a Sony Z3v running android 4.4.4

Puts phone on vibrate and DND, but doesn't turn back on.

Simple, easy to use, nice gong sounds--everything you need for structuring your meditation. Love it.

Best app for timing your meditation. Thank you, thank you for putting your work and time behind it. :)

Tried several, but this is exactly what I needed. Minimal and functional.

missing interval timer, but apart from that it looks nice

Nice and simple, good timer with a selection of nice bell sounds. The new UI is better, though still a bit quirky and not totally intuitive. I like the way it silences other phone sounds while timing, but the new version has a bug where the phone is left in silent mode afterwards. This has caused me to miss calls and messages.

Loved the old version, which worked perfectly for me, gave it 5 stars. Initially, had problems with the sound in the new version and it crashed once, resulting in decreasing rating to 3 stars, but some user-tinkering with settings and author's latest version appear to have remedied the issues. Now, the app works well for me, meets my needs with ease, meriting 5 stars again.

The old version was brilliant and simple. The new version sometimes leaves the phone in silent mode, even alarms (!) even after I turn off 'do not disturb' (apparently turned on by the app, something the old version didn't do while still not allowing calls). Also, the first ringtone comes in slow and shaky, and multiple ringtones run together even though I gave them a 2 sec gap. Thank you for providing the app in the first place! But would be great to get the old version back.

On an LG Nexus 5 I'm finding it is failing to restore alarm settings after a session. 'Do not disturb' stays on and when that is manually turned off ring tone is still off - it's on vibrate.

The old version the bell simply rang on the volume set. With this version the bell starts off light and then gets louder, no longer like a natural bowl. And I have to coordinate the phone volume with the app volume just to hear the unnatural soft to loud sound.

12/5/16. Got new phone and had to reinstall. Changes for the worse. Unusable. I'll have to find something else. 12/23/16. Gave it another shot. Volume is so faint it can hardly be heard.

This was a great app before the most recent update. Now, after the timer has finished, the phone stays muted, so I have to remember to un-mute, plus turn the ring volume all the way back up again.

Just used it for the first time. Best meditation timer I've tried ... and I've tried quite a few. Great high quality bowl sounds and intuitive enough to just pick up and use. I really love that it implements the do not disturb mode ... though there are issues regarding it not returning to normal distraction mode. Thanks for this

App is fine in use, but it leaves the alarm silenced after use. That's unacceptable.

If you choose to mute the phone during Zazen, the app doesn't un-mute the sound at the end. The old version worked fine. This is on LG G3

Something happens with sounds authorization in my cellphone so app keeps freezing :(

Simple but allows for personal settings and has nice bells

Google fit support?

Love it. Even more so with the updates. Easily customisable timed sessions. Its the only one I use for all meditations, breathing exercises et cetra. Thank you.

Same here. Latest update says it needs permission to mute, then crashes. LG V10

Thank you!!!

After updating to the latest version, when I try start the timer it says that it doesn't have access to change audio settings. When I click ok to go to settings to change this the app crashes. Please fix this then I will change my rating. - After new update -> still same problem :(

On Xperia, it stopped ringing the bell.

I liked this app a lot before the update. It was simple and has sweet bell sounds. it simply switched my alerts to vibrate and after a session alerts would turn back on... Now it messes with the 'do not disturb' setting on my phone... And lasts after I turn off the app. That's not cool. I liked it how it was. I haven't missed my wake up alarm yet but I'm sure I will at some point and that will kind of suck.

Android, LG phone. It asks for permission to mute, I say yes, and it crashes. Possible variable overwrite, as the phone was already in dnd mode. Great app, though. Hope this bug gets fixed soon, I (used to) use this twice a day :)

Best meditation Application I have tried. Yet the new version crashes and less user friendly update: it crashes and closes down before it send report.

So pleased with this update to an already great meditation app! Love the option for a higher bell count!

Thanks!

Edit 28 Nov 2016: was perfect the way it was, loved the older UI, was more intuitive. The do not disturb doesn't turn off after the meditation is over now and I have to manually turn it off. Earlier review:It has the right level of customisation options. All the bell sounds options are good.

This had been the best app for meditation, but the previous gui was better, as it was easy to see how much time has elapsed at any moment due to the yellow color. The small indicator is not doing the job. Please give an option for a better to see the time during meditation.
