Mindfulness Timer | Samsara App Reviews

I could easily give this app five stars. It is such a great and simple meditation timer. Except, it has been messing up my consecutive days. For example Ill have a streak going and then all of sudden it says number of consecutive days as none, even though I havent missed a day

Currently, Im still satisfied with the current features. However, I wish that guided zen meditations were available. Most of the top mindfulness apps have guided meditations, but there isnt a single app in the marketplace for guided zen meditation.

Finally, a meditation app that just works, and doesnt look like it was designed in the 80s by a bunch of hippies. Highly recommended.

Minimal and easy to navigate UI is supreme. Monthly stats, reminders, warm up/cool down phases are easy to set and use. Ive tried various other meditation timers and they cannot compare to this one. I would like to see iOS10 integration (Health Data: Mindful Minutes, currently only writes to "Workouts") and the ability to delete profiles, but these are minor requests, hardly anything to deter from using this app.

I absolutely love this meditation app!, Simple beautiful and I love that it tracks of all of my meditations. The chimes sound lifelike and resonate for a long time. Thank you for always making improvements and for creating such a wonderful and easy to use app!

An elegant interface, options to make timers as simple or as complicated as you need, a progress tracker and the ability to save multiple timers. If youre looking for the perfect meditation timer, youve found it.

The simple and elegant interface with the dark scheme goes perfectly with my (hopefully) early morning practice. As the app develops, new features allow a more custom configuration. The interface remains simple and intuitive with sensible and useful default settings. This version adds the ability to save mindfulness sessions into Apples health data. For me, it helps encourage my practice.

Meditating requires some discipline to find time. Samsara does exactly that with appropriate start and end sounds. Great app.

I love this app. Its great.

I have many years experience with meditation and also UI design and research and this is currently my favorite meditation timer. The other reviews say it well already so I will just agree with the crowd and leave it at that. There are currently a few bugs to iron out, but even with those bugs its still the best. It will be even better when those get fixed! Also this is the only timer I found that integrates with HealthKit.

beautiful minimal design, have been using it for years. best meditation timer on the app store, tried many of them. great sounds too. overall beautiful and simple. responsive developer. great updates. highly recommended

This easy to use app supports my meditation practice and is always in my pocket

Love the update! I count of this app every morning when I meditate. Its beautiful, practical and reliable.

I like the look of this app. It is simple and does what I want. I turned off gestures because I somehow kept changing the time of the meditation. Perhaps a bit pricey but reasonable for me since I use it twice a day. Make sure volume is up or you wont hear the chime(s). This is still the most elegant looking timer for meditation. Now that I have an Apple Watch Id love it if Samsara supported the Watch.

Great app. Great functionality with simple, zen-like design. Works great on my phone. Great candidate for a Watch app as well.

This app is my daily timer for zazen. I cant recommend this app more highly. Its perfect!

Ive tried many meditation timers on my iPhone over several years, and Samsara is by far the one I most prefer. It is feature-rich while remaining simple to use, with a beautiful interface that is easy see without any unnecessary clutter. The many bell sounds for starting and ending a session are very much to my tastes, and the ability to set the number of chimes and the interval between each allows me to customize the experience to my exact liking - with even the ability to make each chime in a set get gradually louder (which is how I like to end my sessions). Warm-up and cool-down times can be included as well as arbitrary chimes mid-session - along with many other thoughtful features. One can save any number of presets and these are very easy to set up. My only feature request (at the time of this review) would be to be able to copy an existing preset so I can use it as the basis for a new one. But this is only a small concern since the presets are easy to establish, and I only make new ones occasionally. While this app is more costly than many of the others that are similar, it is well worth the price for its elegance and practical use. There are no in-app purchases or social media components, and for that I am very thankful. When I sit (zazen is my practice), I want a tool that serves to time my session with simplicity and beauty and without the phone getting in the way. Samsara does this for me with excellence. I cant recommend it more highly.

For a very expensive app I was hoping it would do all it was advertised to do. Unfortunately there are no sounds to guide me through a meditation as the app description says. False advertising!

Best meditation timer for Transcendental Meditation. Allows for both 20mins and 2-3min cool-down. No distracting numbers or anything to induce additional thought, just a circle to indicate how much time is left.

I like this app very much. I was trying to meditate regularly for years without finding the help to do it efficiently, and I was unable to do it regularly. Samsara help me to keep focus and remind me to meditate what ever the meditation technic used. It´s great. The customer support is very good too.
