Okay – Zazen Suite - Meditation Timer & Mindfulness Bell Review

This app is okay, but certainly not worth $2. First, what's good about this app is the clean look, the sounds, the ease of use. There is also a pause function allowing you to pause your session (very useful to me on some nights.) I also like the mindfulness bell which reminds me to keep centered throughout the day. But, that brings me to the first problem. I keep my phone on vibrate when I am at work or out, and this app does not make a sound when your phone is on silent/vibrate. That is not too useful, particularly during meditations since I put the phone on silent to avoid other iPhone functions from disrupting my meditation. Another problem with this app is that meditation sessions can only be scheduled in five-minute intervals. I tried to do a 7-minute meditation session and I just couldn't work it. A little more flexibility there would also be nice. Other than those two qualms, the app is not bad. Worth $2? Like I said earlier: no. I'm keeping it and will use it, but that's only because I shelled out the money for it already. Hopefully, in the near future, a few tweaks will be made to make this app more useful.
