Meditation Timer Singing Bowls

I bought this app to replace my Zen alarm clock, which stopped working after a power outage. The app is easy to use, and I absolutely love the choices of sounds. It’s just what I wanted! However, there’s a fatal flaw for me: It won’t play the tones when the phone is plugged in. (After I get woken but by my backup alarm and unplug my phone, the tone immediately starts sounding.) So if you are one of the many people who leave your phone plugged in to recharge while you sleep, and also wish to use the phone as an alarm clock, this app isn’t going to work for you. V. disappointing, and a waste of my money.

I’ve been using i-Qi for years, and have found that it’s one of the most flexible meditation timers on the store. I’ve found no other app that allows up to 24 hours of use; I set it all day long at times to remind me to breathe. The breadth of chimes and bowls, and clarity of sound is also rich and immersive. The alarm clock, and it’s golden timer option, permits a gentle and stirring opportunity to start the day without the jarring and sudden chimes of typical alarms. An intersection of simplicity, beauty, and usability. Thank you.

You don’t need fancy features, or ridiculous In app purchases or subscriptions. You need to simply set the time and that what this app does. Nice selection of sounds, and I love that you can set many different lengths of meditation time, perfect if you find you don’t have as much time to meditate as you would like. Nice looking interface. LOVE that it is a simple inexpensive one time purchase. Recommended.
