Mindfulness Timer | Samsara App Reviews

Everything I needed.

I downloaded every timer and meditation timer I could find to use for my daily sitting practice. Ultimately, I chose Samsara. It is clean, easy to use and has never failed. And when I discovered that I could easily change the time by gently swiping up or down the screen, I knew I had chosen the right app. The developer is responsive and warm. (Before posting a negative review or writing about what doesnt seem to work, might I suggest you write the developer(s) first and see if things cant be worked out to your satisfaction.) I thought of a few things Id love to see in Samsara and the developer warmly took them under consideration for this update. (3.0) I use Samsara every day. It is a near perfect app that works for me in a way that helps do part of what I intend, not think/worry about time, when I sit for meditation.

Samsara has served me well for over a year and 300-odd sessions. Simple interface and pleasing aesthetics, nice alert tones and detailed logging of activity. For self-directed meditation, it has everything one needs, and nothing superfluous. Look no further.

This app is a great meditation timer, just made easier and better in this newest update. The cleaner text is a great addition to a great app. It is simple and intuitive with a clean ui. It is the best meditation timer app I have found.

Fantastic update of a terrific timer uncluttered by gimmicks (others tout their community and gold stars for meditation completion - which to my mind go against the point). Beautiful interface. Useful features. Responsive developer

I really like Samara. I’m glad to see it’s still being updated. If you want a simple to use time without any extras like guided meditation and social features then this is a good option.

Have been using this for a month. Its simple, yet has everything you might need. Perfect.

This is by far the best meditation app that Ive used. Ive tried many, the new updates to track progress are fantastic. Simple, elegant, powerful.

Easy to use, great for beginners and long-time meditators. Love the new update.

Excellent App. Simple and elegant.

Great, minimal aesthetics and interface and just about all of the versatility you would need for zazen and mindfulness meditation. Would be nice to have an interval option for certain types of mindfulness, but probably not really necessary. Great meditation app.

Wonderful app, updates made it even better and addressed every improvement I wanted! My only wish is that I could pay for it!

I love Samsara. Its beautiful and simple with no distractions. Thank you for creating it.

I really like this simple timer! It is perfect for meditation and very easy to use. Well done!

I like the reminders, and that I have a special place on my phone for my practice. It makes me feel more accountable to myself. Oh how I love graphs!

For the silent meditators out there, this works like a charm. I use it on the train, in my living room at home, at the bar when Im waiting for friends. It just works. New version has a shiny elegant font.

It is perfect for me. Every Thing I want is in Version 3. I can add sessions I missed because my iPhone was unavailable. The charting improvements are all useful, especially the bar charts. The bell menu has everything: tones, warm up, cool down, intervals, grouped bells, silencing. Or nothing if you choose. It has features I havent gotten into like multi-profiles. Elegant, easy, intuitive.

Use it everyday. Easy to set times. Warmup and cool down periods are a plus. Sounds are pleasant and help set the meditation space. Very pleased with the purchase.

Used it for years and is very minimal yet does everything youd want it to. I like that it keeps statistics about your sessions/length although a cool feature would to have a calendar thats marked up with the days youve meditated. All in all, a good product.

No frills simple. Does a beautiful job of keeping me in the moment. Wish the screen didnt go to sleep mid-session, tho.
