## Description

Meditate is a beautiful meditation timer inspired by iOS, offering a clean interface, preset meditations, and high-quality Tibetan singing bowls. It features prep time, repeating intervals, cooldown, pause, smart restart after interruptions, and fine 1-second increments for precise timing. You can keep the screen on, hide the timer if you want, and choose from gorgeous backgrounds.

Track your meditation statistics, customize presets with names, times and sounds, and access premium Tibetan bowl sounds via in-app purchase. The timer is designed to minimize interruptions and resume where you left off after calls or messages, with a seamless preparation mode if you pause for longer.

## Review summary

Users like the timer's simplicity and the pleasant bell sounds, but the app is plagued by reliability and compatibility problems. The timer often stops when the screen sleeps, and it frequently freezes or crashes, sometimes causing data loss and requiring reinstall. Many reviews note a lack of updates for newer iOS versions and poor developer responsiveness, including issues restoring in-app purchases. Overall, it's a straightforward timer with good sound design, but instability and neglect of support undermine its value.

### Pros

- Easy to use with a simple interface.
- Realistic, pleasant bells and sounds with natural fade-out.
- Clear help documentation and straightforward timer features.

### Cons

- Timer stops when the phone screen locks or the device sleeps (major usability issue).
- Frequent freezing/crashing and compatibility issues with newer iOS versions; data loss on crashes/reinstalls.
- In-app purchases for additional sounds are unreliable or overpriced; issues restoring purchases.
- Developer support is often unresponsive to inquiries about fixes.
