Mindfulness Bell App Reviews

Needs work. The main problem I have is the inability to set a bell interval that will ring forever. You are forced to re-set the bell at most every 24 hours. Also only 1 bell sound that isnt that great.

Dont buy unless you plan on keeping the app open at all times and not place it in the background

It rings too long so the bell sounds inauthentic and it needs a way to run 24/7 with set quiet times. It would be a good free app but not enough functionality to pay for.

Or foreground for that matter. I have to Manually ring the bell LOL. What a joke. I got robbed.

It DOESNT ring in the background. It only rings when youre iPhone is awake. It doesnt even wake the phone to ring when notifications is enabled. This is deceptive promotion on the developers part. This could be a really nice app, but it fails to deliver on what is implied in the write-up. Very disappointing.

I use this timer for stopping to rest my eyes from the computer screen as well as to meditate. It is a simple app; and as such well-suited for the purpose of reminding one to be in the moment.

I use this with my Centering Prayer practice and it is very Helpful in setting the tone for my prayer period

A simple app that does just what its designed to do and does it well.

I love this app BUT.......Why must I go into the app every single day? If I forget, it doesnt start till the next day. Just make it so you set it up once and thats it if you want to cancel it you can cancel it.

The bell tone is at a perfect pitch, a relaxing mellow sound. I use it throughout the day for reminders to bring me back from the beyond that my busy life sends me. The only thing I might change is volume of the bell. The normal bell is too loud at my usual phone setting and the quiet bell too quiet.

O.k., youve set up your life so you are living more spiritual.. you meditate, send out good thoughts, try to eat right.. and at the same time you live in the real world.. As you go into work you tell yourself that you WILL take a breath throughout the day to center yourself, no big deal, easy task.. You get into work and the day is off quick. You answer the phone, a client comes in, you have to fill out some paperwork, send an email off to get a brochure started.. Ill breathe in a minute, Im calm, in a minute, I just gotta finish this.. your boss comes in to remind you the article is due in a couple hours.. You are starving, you gulp down some lunch (and you were going to center yourself at lunch) thinking of the meeting you have after you turn in your project to your boss... and on and on it goes, till your day is over and you have not stopped once.. you think you have remained calm throughout the day, but you are stressed.. That is where this app comes in. It is amazing! I use it everyday! You set it to go off as often as you want for up to 24 hours. The icon on your screen shows how many bells remain to chime, which is fun! It still runs even if you are doing other things with your device. It is so unobtrusive that a coworker may be standing near and hear the bowl chime.. they pause a second.. you can see the look on their face like they are hearing things.. I say, "Thats just my reminder alarm.", and they go on not giving it a thought. So this app is great if you are trying to remain zen throughout your busy day.. set it to chime as many times as you want.. think of a quick affirmation you like to use, or a visualization, or a sound, a thought.. then use that throughout the day. I am a pretty calm person, and really didnt think this app would do much for me.. Boy, was I surprised at how it truly does make you pause, even for just a second.. In fact, I use it at home too.. I set it to go off throughout the day to keep that little reminder to pause and be grateful for the moment. So basically, this app allows you to grab a second here and there throughout the day of being mindfulness.. It is like a quick meditation session.. Try it, you will be surprised at how effective this simple little app is! I love it!

I have successfully used this app to help me totally shift my pessimistic attitude to a more optimistic one. It works great for randomly reminding you to do something such as a pebble meditation or put entries into a thought log if youre using/participating in cognitive-behavioral therapy. The bell sound itself is beautiful, and it has worked exactly as advertised for me.

I like it - the functionality of a random bell or a timed bell throughout my day is great to have. It could be improved greatly if I were able to manage the settings in an easier way. Set 16 random bells from 9 am to 9 pm everyday. The user experience is odd in this regard. I expect I would like a more simple way to set up a simple setting

The only thing I wish was if it could work even when the phone is locked. But otherwise I use this everyday.

Great support for mindfulness practice

I greatly appreciate having Mindfulness Bell on my phone. Its a wonderful app for timing meditation, and because it can time many time-segments sequentially, its perfect for smoothly performing a series of long yin yoga poses. Thank you for Mindfulness Bell!

I have had this app for quite some time and really like it. I use it a lot. One wish: if there could be an option instead of the bell to have a silent vibration as the reminder. I really cant have the chimes go off at random times in the middle of a meeting but reminders to stay present during some of my meetings would be very helpful. Thanks for considering it.

Great app! Helps me break away from the daily grind and refocus.

Perfect to keep me going after Plum Village. And free!

Thank you creators and developers. May all beings benefit! _/|_
