F*ing horrible experience... I uninstalled the app and then reinstalled it. Had to log back in... that's normal but then it didn't recognize my paid annual subscription and asked me to REregister. It was one hoop after another and despite having used it a bunch, nothing was saved. My name is showing as Z and it all lead to major delays. I kept getting exhausted with the runaround and then wouldn't use it. Couldn't use it. Scratching my head why I can't simply sign back in and there's my info

BUGS -- I cannot a believe such a serious app has such stupid bugs. The timer does not work when the phone goes to sleep. Really. Its a meditation app. The phone will be kept aside and will 100% go to sleep. The stats are so poorly done. If you exceed your initially chosen time for meditation, and then click "add X mins", those X minutes does not show up in the stats. There is no calendar view showing which dates you meditated.

I really liked this app until the latest update. I miss the list of recommendations it used to have, now I have to wade through a bunch of previews that autoplay which I dislike. Sometimes when I finish a track, it freezes and does not register as completed when I hit the back button to try to exit the freeze.

UPDATE: Mar 2024 Enjoying the app, primarily for daily meditation and for use during healing sessions with clients. Improved stability and functionality. AUG 2021 change in layout, fumbled thru finding bookmarks, buggy and slow.☹️ Have been using this app since 2012, and it used to be a favorite, but it has really become cumbersome and increasingly difficult to navigate over the past 3 years. I stopped recommending to clients who were interested in the interval feature under the timer section.

12/26/2023 Great support from app team. Fixed the issues and I've not experienced any further issues. Changed my rating to 5 stars. Pre-12/26 Unsure what changed in this latest version. Now when I use the timers, a voice guided meditation will jump in at random. I have to stop and restart my timer. It's startling to have a person suddenly speak when there's no one else around. I typically would rate this app a 5. But this problem has made my morning use of this app less than ideal.

I'm reducing stars. Been enjoying the app + premium subscription for years. It's been a valuable primary resource for my meditation practice. However, lately the playbacks will randomly stop partway. I couldn't find a solution in the support section, so I cleared cache, cleared data, and reinstalled. All my bookmarks, playlists, and list of followed teachers are gone 😔 I probably shouldn't have cleared the data. Don't know yet if the original issue is resolved - TBD.

I gave this app 5 stars on 7/13/2020. I have been using it for over 6 years now. It is the #1 app I recommend to others. But, sometime in the past year (2023), the app became very buggy. It frequently drops in the middle of a session and often does so repeatedly, which can be incredibly frustrating and disruptive. I love so much about this app, but if it doesn't reliably play through a track, then it might be time to let it go.

I was curious about meditation and simply downloaded for the trial. I've literally used this app every day (multiple times a day) for over a month now. This app is much more than meditations- of which there is a huge variety. The course and talks are fantastic, and the music is great also. There are live events, journaling, etc. If you are curious, just try it. Trial is a week long, and, in my opinion, the yearly subscription is well worth the price given the immense content.

Since the app went more subscription than service, the quality has plummeted. Since October, I have been having issues with the Timer feature, a feature you need to pay for. I have been in contact with the help team to no avail. They don't seem interested in fixing the issue after repeated emails and back and forths. If you like the app, good for you, I don't recommend paying for it if you liked the timer feature. Edit1: I think you're missing the point. I'm paid for an app that doesn't work.

I would have given this app 5 stars because it is easily one of my favorite apps... until recently when it stopped playing for more than about 30 minutes at a time. It will buffer forever! It doesn't matter if it's on wifi or cell data. I have different playlists set up to play all night, but I find myself waking up for 30 minutes at a time several times a night to reset the app. I have reinstalled the app several times, so that's NOT the fix. I pay for the annual subscription. Fix this!

This used to be a great app many years ago. I'm considering letting it go and listen to meditations on YouTube, but still not there yet. It's helped me in years past, which I'm appreciative of. But now there's some items that don't feel like the original vibe. The subscription aspect is pushed too much to the point where you can't even track through a play. The tracking stops randomly, which seems like a functional issue. It's just getting frustrating to use which bums me out.

Bugs are intolerable. I've loved this app for years, and mostly use it to fall asleep. In the last month or so, all recordings stop abruptly after a few minutes, jolting me out of my resting state. It happens each and every time, no matter the meditation. It's jarring and makes this completely unusable. If a fix is not offered soon, I will delete and try another app, as this makes it harder to relax, rather than easier!

There is wide variety of options to fit your mood or situation. There are plenty of free options within the app. no need to upgrade if finances are an issue. I enjoy the soundscapes when going to sleep. The rain on the tent is one of my favorites. There are also several manifesting while you sleep options. Some are better than others. I highly recommend this free app.

I've been using this app for a very long time. I find it very useful, but it makes me more stressed out than when I began my day. Most of the guided meditations are spoken by persons with accents, I like to listen to them before actually meditating to know if I can understand them. I get so frustrated, because I will have to pay for membership, for the simple act of rewinding to understand what I've heard. I get paying for the plus things, but not being able to rewind is ridiculous.

I used the free version of this app for over a year. I finally purchased the premium in order to support the teachers as well as access courses. the app is easy to use, and as long as I remember to bookmark courses and meditations that I'm interested in, I can typically find them again. The search and filters are functional and allow me to look for a meditations that resonate with me. I feel like user reviews and instructor comments are an extremely important part of this community.

I would love to give this give stars...... And will if the audio can be fixed! Every app I go into I can hear all audio fine. No one sounds like a robot but for some reason everytime I go into this and join a live the teachers sound like robots..... Other than that this app is absolutely amazing. Love that there is so much to explore even if you're not making in app purchases!

hands down the best meditation app available!! with so many thousands of meditations available for free... you cannot find a better app. the community is amazing. I have the paid version for all of the amazing courses and the rewind feature(there more features that's just what I use it for). the timer is so much more than just a timer! I have grown exponentially in the last eight years of using insight timer. don't bother with the other apps. they are a waste of time and or money. INSIGHT TIMER

This is an amazing app if you're looking to get into or even out of your own head. There is so much free content I don't feel like I need the subscription to get a good experience. I'm able to save my favorite meditations and coaches. I can join live yoga sessions and meditations and there is an extensive library of recordings to help get into a different headspace. It also tracks mood and usage over time. I've tried many apps to try to get this experience and this was the best so far!!

I liked insight timer back before they junked it up and reworked the UI to make every action a chance to divert you and upsell you. They constantly force upsell features and make it difficult to opt out. Just setting up the timer on a new phone is ridiculously complicated. They bury the login after a questionnaire. I don't recommend. I only keep it for the counts.

Love the sheer volume and variety of options. But I had 9 consecutive days of meditating and noticed I wasn't logged in on the Android app. When I logged into my existing account using Google SSO, it reset my progress to zero. Pretty disappointing. [edit to add, revising to 4 stars] Support was able to restore my stats manually, but it should be possible to retain the stats in a session and pass them through to the authorized account when logging in.
