This app has everything you need: daily reminders, a variety of recordings, including long instructions, discourses, links to virtual sits around the world, links to centers and course registration, downloadable recordings of talks by Goenka-ji, etc. There is even a 10-15 minute Anapana recording to play for your curious family or roommates. One of the most useful features for me is the logbook, which tracks every sit you do through this app, including duration. It's very encouraging to see consistent progress. Do note that virtual sits open in Zoom and therefore are not logged by the program. I really appreciate the thoughtful design of this app and how quickly the team updated it for covid-times. It is lean and elegant yet highly customizable. There are no distracting graphics and no social component, either - fantastic. Just sit. One thing I would love to see is some sort of widget to keep my practice at the forefront of my mind every time I use my phone. For now, I keep it on my home screen to keep my practice high priority. It is the most important app in my library. Much metta to the developers and to all my dhamma family! May you grow in your practice. May you be happy, peaceful, and liberated!

Great effort. A suggestion: Could you please consider adding a custom timer in the next update? Sometimes I may have less than an hour on hand and it would be great to set a timer that could ring at the preset time & get me out of my meditation. This way I can continue to log all my sessions in one place. Thank you for your consideration.

This app makes so much sense in our current technological world. Downloads have been offered for a long time but an app puts all the important things in one place. And (drum roll!) it actually works! Thanks so much for providing this kind of vipassana support. With version 1 so stable and functional, it's a well-received and often used. I'm using it on an iPad 2 without any problems. Great thinking to make a black background while the audio player plays. Keeps the room dark while meditating! : )
