*** TESTIMONIALS ***
* Must have for meditation. Great application to let you know when the meditation ends. The option of having sound off with vibration only is a great bonus. (momochow)
* I love this app, and use it daily for my own meditation sessions, and once a week for our meditation group. (Frank Ozaki)
* Thanks for a great app guys! Intuitive contols with no intrusive bells or whistles, makes for an easy start to each meditation session. (Kaz par avion)
* Ive been using it every day to great effect. I do TM, which stipulates 20 minutes of meditation, so this has been really usefull and stops me interupting the meditation to keep squinting at the clock. (Michael Sullivan-Lozano)
* Love this app! Its the gong that sold me on it. (fraterpater)
* When I meditate in our community sanctuary, I often loose track of time and miss other appointments, but I cant set an audible alarm which would disturb other people. So, this apps silent alarm is really useful. (Michael Fuchs)
* Exactly what I was planning to write. Thanks! (Eric Moritz)

Pros and cons of Meditation Timer app for iPhone and iPad

Meditation Timer app good for

I like the simplicity and the nice layout of the application. One feature is missing: It would be great to be able to configure the sound volume within the application.

Nice and inspiring. Only localization is missing. Une version française serait appréciée!

Very nice and handy tool, much better than the built-in timer!! The ringing bowl sound can be nicely used as a timer, as the countdown can be repeated. Worth the money!!

Some bad moments

On my iPod Touch (first generation) this application does not play a sound - not even if the iPod Touch is connected to a sound system. I am using the last software release (2.2). So, I guess that this software requires the iPhone or the latest iPod Touch with an internal speaker.

I realize its free, so no problems there. But the iPhone already comes with a built in timer, which will function when the screen is off. I can upload any ringtone I want for the iPhone timer reminder. Since Im meditating, Im not going to be staring at the screen, no matter what is displayed. So its just an app that already does something the iPhone can do itself.

I would say that overall this is a great App. Simple and clean. My only suggestion would be to make the font a little more appealing. It doesnt really fit the background, maybe make it look more like the text on the icon, white background, green text, dark border? Just an idea. Great Jon!

This is a great app, but its bad that vibrate cant be disabled. Hearing a loud buzz sound on your table as the phone vibrates is not the most gentle way to come out of meditation.

Like the application. But would love a volume control for my iPod Touch.

Thanks for putting up a clean and simple mediation timer. And cant beat the price!
