Mindfulness Bell App Reviews

All sounds and notifications are set to ON but it doesn’t work

Timer resets when the phone auto-locks, rendering the app useless

Have it set on normal bell setting. Tested several times, no sound. My phone is not on”silent mode” and I did allow notifications. It seems to have only one function but can’t even do that. Bummer since it’s basic singular function is all I need and haven’t found it offered elsewhere.. I hope they fix it soon

ECKHART TOLLE’S FRIEND: “I am going on a spiritual retreat, and they offer a smorgasbord of classes. Should I take this ‘chakra energy’ class, or this ‘dream interpretation’ class, or this ‘contacting your spirit guides’ class?” ECKHART TOLLE: “Those all sound wonderful but you know, you could simply pay attention to your breathing- whenever you are able to- and in one year, your life would be unrecognizable.”

I installed on 2 different phones and turned on the column and notification but I never heard any sound.

This app doesn’t work at all. Not even a little bit!

I read about Thich Nhat Hahn’s simple practice of taking 3 breaths at the sound of a bell 40 years ago. Unfortunately I’ve never had a monk following me around with a bell. Now I have a Mindfulness Bell in my pocket! Such a wonderful practice. Thanks for making this available to all us lay practitioners. 🙏

Be warned... will only work if ringer on your phone is on. When it does go off, you can barely hear it even on full volume.

App made no sound. Checked FAQ and did all the things, still nothing. Then realized I had Do Not Disturb on.

Very easy to use and works wonderfully!

Not sure why I had to pay for this app? I had it on my Galaxy through Google play store for free with lots more options and a better sounding better. What happened?

I just paid and downloaded this app and it doesn’t work. The bell doesn’t ring at all.

I didn't know this existed, yet it was what I wanted to make for myself.....& luckily I found it. (Or had good karma) Anyhow I love it! Much gratitude for the person who made it! I just wish I could make it louder on my ipad. Otherwise perfect! Again very grateful 😊

Downloaded this at the recommendation of my life coach. I’ve done everything the app says, my volume is all the way up and it does not make any sound, doesn’t show in my notifications like I have it set to do. Would like to talk to a customer service person but cannot it just gives me faqs pages. Such a disappointment.

No suena con el teléfono en silencio

Some thing I think take a long time and not long for others...many I am wrong because I am time blind. This is great to keep me aware and remind me to take breaks or if I’m dawdling too long or have gone down a rabbit hole not related to what I want to be doing. And can set bell to not disturb those around me. Great App!!

I have it set up to sound every 1/2 hour. I’ve noticed several times it misses its set time and does not sound. Please fix this “bug.”

I Receive Life through breath, & remember to give... with each breath, surrendering to the Great, “I Am”

Simply Perfect

Doesn’t work

I like the Quiet Bell option for when I am somewhere when I need to hear my phone ring at the volume I set it at while only hearing the bell at a quieter level. I wish I could set all my apps in this way!

This app works well enough for what it is. I grabbed it primarily because it was one of the few apps I could find that offered bells at random intervals; while these do work fine, I wish the app would actually display the correct number of remaining bells as they progress. Example: If you set it to ring randomly twice an hour, beginning at 10am and stopping at 9pm, it'll show a list of upcoming bells which all simply read '-random bell-', and shows the remaining bell count at 22. But as the bells begin to go off, this list remains unchanged, and the remaining bell count stays locked at 22. In other words, no indication of progress at all. Again, this is a fairly minor issue considering they the app does what it's meant to do, but I wish they'd fix it so that the random bell times were actually displayed, and the remaining count kept accurate.

Excellent reminder to meditate often.

Super clear and easy to use. Beautiful sounding bell! My only suggestion is the option to have some other sounds - a gong, etc

Very user-friendly, easy to set up the times to meditate in the interval times if you need to do that, lots of bell sounds-couldn't imagine it being any easier or better

I love this app except for the fact that I often notice halfway through the day that it has stopped working. I discovered today that if I have "do not disturb" on so I can avoid getting distracted by texts and calls while I'm working, the bell won't ring. Sorta defeats the purpose of staying mindful and practicing distraction resistance if I have to accept text messages and calls in order for the app to work :(

Love how this bell sounds at just the right moments you need them!

I updated the app to try the new interface. Now it crashes upon launch. I use this daily. How do I fix it?!

The bell is nice, but maybe a deeper tone selection would be nice. And a way to choose it to reset automatically

I have the bell ring every hour. It gives me a reminder to be mindful throughout the day.

Great app Use it daily for reminder to STOP, BREATHE, and BE MINDFUL. Perfect!

Bell doesn’t go off if you have vibrate turned on. So you have a thousand sounds goin off all day if you want to use this. Seems counterintuitive. I’m about to just delete it.

Please add the days of the week as an option to set the bells to go off. I want to skip certain days sometimes

I use this to remind me to check my posture. It's just what I need!

Update: developer responded and added functionality requested - great response and app is pretty well perfect for me now - thank you! It finally works now and it's great in its simplicity. I wish it had a couple of changes: first, just let us set a timer instead of picking start/end times (at least you can start "now"). I would like to have it go for X time - like 30 minutes. Second, it should ring at the start and end of the session, with a slightly different ring for the end. Now, if you don't set the end time as a multiple of your bell time (e.g., every 5 minutes), it will just end and you never know it.

I have been using this app and recommending it for years. The way I use it was taken away yesterday with an update. The features I use are back and I love it again.

I enjoy this mindfulness reminder. But the vibration can be disturbing. And if I'm throwing my wishlist out there, I'd love some deeper tones as well! But sound is quite beautiful as is. Is there a way or will there be a way to turn the vibrate feature off? Many thanks.

So helpful to remind me to stop, take a break and stretch. Like the sounds too

It's annoying to have to set a start time instead of just a "start now" type option.

My go-to app for a varied mediation. Love it.

Too poor features

I love it

This app works exactly like it's supposed to every time. I use it to remind me to meditate, to do sacred pauses, to do body scans, to pray, and to see if I'm tense or contracted anywhere in my body. I love it and won't be without it!

I really like the idea of hearing a beautiful bell ringing... but the bill that was in the program for my iPhone is a very brittle sounding bell, and I haven't been able to figure out how to change it. It appears to be the only choice.

I have liked this app and used it regularly. With the most recent iOS update, 11.0.3, the app now crashes on launch. Please fix it!

Just a terrible interface and function. I fiddled around for 10 minutes trying to get the bells to work, no luck. Will try another app I guess.

“I just sit by the river selling water” - saying of some Zen master. The above phrase must have captured the imagination of a whole bunch of people who now sell mindfulness apps with ridiculous subscription prices. Those might be useful for beginners, but once you know how to meditate in a few different ways, you have it for life, and all you need is this app. This is the one to get for simplicity, but it is also highly configurable. For people who want to do the “Stop” exercise at random points, this one is also good. The only improvement might be to connect the app to log meditation time to the Apple Health app, which has a mindfulness log function. Otherwise this one is perfect in its Zen simplicity.

Does just what it says...Thank you developers 🙏🏼❤️

This app has worked flawlessly since the day I downloaded it. It is simple, useful, and effective. I wish I could say that about all of my apps.
