It should really be stated from the outset that the vast majority of meditation and mindfulness apps are pretty much the exact same thing, except with different collections of sounds and some minor variations in the features on offer.

With this in mind, I’d like you to consider not jumping at the first app that appeals to you; this is a wonderful development that may or may not be right for you, so have a look through this review and maybe compare it to a few others to see which is most suitable to your personality as a whole.

The Bells...... the Bells!!!

Insight Timer for iPad - Meditation Timer centers on Tibetan singing bowls which produce a wonderful bell-like sound; perfect for meditation and relaxation. There are eight different bowls or bells to choose from, each with different sizes and metal compositions, plus there is a wood block sound for variety.

You can very easily create your own configuration of bells with different ringing frequencies and durations. As I mentioned in the introduction, part of using an app like this is to find what works for you, so don’t be confined by the presets; instead, try coming up with something personal to you!

 

Find What Works Best for You

If you do find configurations of sounds that work nicely for you then you’ll be pleased to know that you can save them as your own custom preset for future use, so this is ideal if you have a few different presets that you like to use at different times of the day for example.

There is also a handy progress tracker built into this app which provides detailed charts and statistics showing how much and for how long you’ve meditated within a given timeframe, so this is a great way of seeing how consistent you’ve been and then reflecting on the effects it has on your daily life.
