Where's the flight mode? Put it back please. It was such a wonderful feature as it automatically turn on and off all communication and gave you proper silence when meditation time started and finished respectively. Overall very complete but 5 stars if that tool was available again

Thank you for making this app, it is great. I am not sure why but the timer is not quite accurate... It lags. Possible additions I'd enjoy are a choice of bell, gong, or Om sound. Also I'd enjoy an option for 'rest time' at the end to give some time to re-adjust to "normal life mode". Thanks again.

I wish I could give it 5 but there's a problem with setting bell intervals that makes it very frustrating to use. I wanted to create a profile for a 20 minute meditation that has a bell interval that rings after 5 minutes, then after 10, then after 5 again. However no matter how I try to edit it (either when creating the profile or editing it after creation) the intervals always set to 5, 5, 10. It will not allow me to put the 10 minute interval in the middle, and when I edit it it just automatically changes the 10 minute bell interval to the last interval. Fix this and I will give 5 stars. If not, I'll have to download another meditation app.

Just found out the Pro version has cloud backup for history. Easiest upgrade decision ever. Having just replaced my phone and losing my history (#sob) - I came here to share/rate this up. Such a great UX - nothing more than you need - but lots of helpful touches/features to make usage painless. Widget is excellent for gamification/building a habit (stick it on home screen)!

Not user friendly. I must be dense. The preset 30 minute setting kept showing up when I wanted the one I created. I could not discard it. Now I cannot get the app off my phone.

I'd love to give this 5 stars, because I use this app daily. But the latest version is broken. Firstly the alarm at the end of my session doesn't work any more. Nothing happens at the end of the session, the countdown timer simply displays "--/--". Only when I push the stop button does the chime sound go off. Secondly auto airplane mode - would love to see it working again. If those two issues were fixed, I'd give this 5 stars and pay for the pro version.

About this app

NB: This app is no longer actively developed. It has been replaced by https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.multiordinal.mhp

-------------------------------------
A meditation timer which allows you to set a target for the length of time you want to meditate each day. It includes a widget that displays the number of consecutive days you have hit the target. It is thus useful not only as a timer, but also as a tool to help motivate you to meditate regularly.

The widget is my implementation of Jerry Seinfeld's productivity secret (http://lifehacker.com/281626/jerry-seinfelds-productivity-secret):

-------------------------------------
"He said the way to be a better comic was to create better jokes and the way to create better jokes was to write every day. But his advice was better than that. He had a gem of a leverage technique he used on himself and you can use it to motivate yourself—even when you don't feel like it.

He revealed a unique calendar system he uses to pressure himself to write. Here's how it works.

He told me to get a big wall calendar that has a whole year on one page and hang it on a prominent wall. The next step was to get a big red magic marker.

He said for each day that I do my task of writing, I get to put a big red X over that day. "After a few days you'll have a chain. Just keep at it and the chain will grow longer every day. You'll like seeing that chain, especially when you get a few weeks under your belt. Your only job next is to not break the chain."

"Don't break the chain," he said again for emphasis."
-------------------------------------

The chain in this case is the number of consecutive days that you have hit your meditation target. The widget displays both the current chain, and the longest ever chain. Having this on my home screen motivates me to meditate every day. Your mileage may vary.

The bell sound in the app is by Jan McLaughlin at http://janmclaughlin.tv/.

New features

Fixed bug which stopped finishing bell from ringing if it clashed with an interval bell.
