Useful but it just turns itself off for no reason

I find the randomly timed messages very useful for training myself to be thinking of certain things often, but then the app will stop sending me notifications for no reason, defeating the purpose entirely

2017-10-18

Really good!!!!!

Does the job well

2014-02-24

Too simple

For mindfulness you need to set the chimes to ring at intervals you can time. You can't do it on this App.

All it does is put up a message on my lock screen, doesn't even ring to let you know , maybe I didn't do something, though at a loss to as there are only two buttons and changing the settings dies not come up. Am going to delete it.

Disgusted!

In Lotus Bud v1, the meditation timer, analysis and mindfulness bell were all integrated into a single app.

Now, it's two apps and you pay more for extras to do what already existed in v1.

A poorly disguised money grabbing manoeuvre.

Brilliant!

This is great and exactly what I was looking for. Random reminders to just notice breathing and/or senses, and so become calmer and more grounded. Lovely gentle bell sound.

Review mindful bell

It's simplicity is its beauty. Really useful for keeping your mind on track.

2013-02-14

Simple but Effective

Brilliant uncomplicated app! I think the subtle sound of the bell is spot on. It really works as a reminder to be mindful throughout the day. I don't think it is a problem to set it every day, it only takes seconds and can easily become a part of my morning routine

2013-01-15

Great app! So helpful throughout the day. Thank you!

How?

I cannot get it to work at all! There are no icons along the bottom of the screen and the dials just spin back to tho original positions. one star.

2012-11-27

An excellent aid.

We so easily get lost in day to day concerns. This app brings you back to the NOW effortlessly and as often as you want. Recommended.

Great app

Taking into account the effort put Into programming this app and it's basic design and effective delivery of reminders....definitely worth it ! ... To those complaining, I advise to check your bank account balance before complaining this app is useless....:)

2012-09-29

Pretty useless

Naff app

2012-07-26

Does what it says ...

As with Zen, simple direct and to the point. Thanks for a simple free app. I would agree with other reviewer: Make it start and stop each day by default. Because until one no longer needs it one is in a state where one forgets to set it each day!

2012-06-07

Great free app for mindfulness practice

Simple and effective app that gives you random bells through the day for mindfulness practice. You set it by dialling in what time you'd like it to stop... and that's it. Free. Thanks.

Great

Helped me time sessions and prompt me to be mindful with a gentle awakening ring.

2012-03-09

Simple, does what it says :-)

Simple, does what it says - randomly dings a meditation bell throughout the day. Have to switch it back on every day that I want to use it... I forget :-( So I wish there was an option that defaults to every day for numpties like me!
