Awful gong tone
Sounds more like a television test pattern.

Simply perfect
I have been meditating for so many years. I do not want or need any of the gimmicks that have become so popular in the commodification of meditation - I just need a simple timer with an awareness interval feature. That is all you get in this app and that is perfect.

All I need
Simple and straightforward. No complaints.

Free & simple to use
Not much too it, and I haven't had really any issues. There have been times that my notification did not go off when the time ended, but that could be the phone as the timer was done. That's about it.

It is what it is
And that's okay.

Simple Zazen Timer
Great app, gets the job done, and offers interval sounds (e.g. in a 30 minute meditation I can have a block at 15 min which is 1/2 interval setting or or at 10 and 20 min which is the 1/3 setting). Soft soothing Bell sounds at start and end and block hitting sounds at intervals if desired. I've been using this for a few days. Fantastic app!

A Perfect, Simple Timer for Meditation
I have been using this timer for my meditation practice and am pleased with its performance. The controls are simple to use, the gong is clear sounding. You can break your timing into intervals of set duration (1 period; 2 equal periods; 3 equal periods; etc). Would be nice to be able to change the span of some of the periods. If I could change something I'd dim the app face as it has a way of lighting up the room. (instead, I just turn it over). Great product.

Nope
This is a decent idea for a timer. I will admit for me it was a little too simplistic. I like complicated not knowing at a glance how long to go would drive me crazy. But I think the purpose of it is for you not to know.. Hey don't concentrate on me pay attention to what you're doing kind of thing?

Better Now with this
Thank you! I love switching from guided meditations to this treat of an app. I appreciate the work that has gone on behind this app which has helped me with a more peaceful meditation time. Keep up the great updates!

Simple Zazen Timer
Very simple. Clean. No ads. Like the easy way to set intervals. Would be nice to have a few choices for the interval sound. Current one is a bit harsh.

Good simple timer
You cannot make it too complicated… There's nothing to it :-). Mole design keeps your yoga practice focused on the yoga and not the timer.
Would be 5 stars if more flexibility and interval timing.

Perfect
Simple, elegant, no ads or popups and does exactly what you need. Sounds very similar to the real bowl and can also lock the screen and it still uses the custom bowl sound through the push notification. Look no further for your Zazen timer.

User friendly, elegant, perfect
I've used other app timers for meditation. This is hands down the best. No frills, easy. Next best thing to a real singing bowl.

Zazen timer.
A simple timer great for zazen. Thanks guys!

Not what I was looking for
The adroid version allows to save meditations and have multiple times in one meditation. This is just silly. Do not upgrade. That just waste 1.99 and does nothing.

Easy to use & clean!
This app installs and functions with ease. The timer is simple and the sounds are clean. Will use this timer app in the future for sure.
2014-08-22
Erm?
I don't see why you need this app as you can play your own music and turn on the normal timer app...
2014-05-27
Perfect
A timer with a lovely bell. Exactly what I wanted for my meditation practice. Simple.
2014-05-27
Just a timer
Just a timer with a pretty gong. No options to save meditation timings or add gongs during the duration. Using the timer in the stock Clock app works better.
