Meditation Timer for Apple Watch! Think of it as your personal Meditaton Remote™.
*** 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)
* I've 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! It's 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 can't set an audible alarm which would disturb other people. So, this app's silent alarm is really useful. (Michael Fuchs)
* Exactly what I was planning to write. Thanks! (Eric Moritz)
* FEATURES *
* Five soothing color schemes, now with matching fonts
* Shake to do a quick restart of the countdown (enable in Settings > Meditation Timer)

* COMING UP *

* Syncs meditation settings to all your other devices via iCloud (just enable it in Settings)!

I have been using this timer for a couple of years. After trying several with mores bells and whistles then I needed. Double tap and all settings are available. Either tap done or start/restart and breathe.
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 doesn't 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 it's bad that vibrate can't 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.
Yes folks if you set your iPhone screen to go black after 2 minutes and you meditation is longer than that, then the alarm will not sound! Did anyone test this thing? Absolutely useless.
I had high hopes for this app, but since it is rendered useless after a couple of minutes when the phone goes to sleep and the screen goes black I'll have to just recommend using the timer that comes pre-installed on the iPhone. Hopefully there will be an update that either keeps the iPhone awake while the program is running or wakes up the phone and sounds the chime when the timer is up. Until then...
Not worth $0.99. Just use your iPhone timer with Harp. If you need a good free timer, download Zencast's 10, 20, or 30 minute mp3's. Then support them by paying the 4 bucks for their Meditator app.
