Insight Timer Reviews 145

I have used Insight Timer for years. I love the large library of meditations, and I also use the timer for yoga and quiet meditation. They keep improving the app, and I keep enjoying it!

This is one of the best apps I have ever used. For starters, it's free (although after years, I am now a member of the "plus" club). But the generosity of providing this to anyone gratis is amazing. And that's just the start. There are thousands of opportunities from one minute to over an hour to enrich one's life through guided meditations that deal with everything from traditional Buddhist approaches, to any human issue- depression, anger, self-compassion as examples. Besides the guided meditations, there is music to calm the soul, and a timer for those who want personal sitting meditations. Many ways that they encourage motivation, such as the milestones to keep you practicing (a key to any successful meditation process). The opportunity to journal is built right in. You can send meditations to others through their platform. Some of the greatest leaders in mindfulness (such as Tara Brach) are represented. IF you pay (for me as a Canadian about $100 for a year) you also have access to a huge array of courses to deepen your practice and additional guided meditations - but there are thousands without you paying a cent. Many live virtual events and opportunities to be part of a huge array of groups. Personally, it's been life changing and I would give it 6 stars if I could.

I used Insight Timer daily until the recent format change, and then I just lost interest.

I love Insight Timer. It has become part of my day consecutively since 2016. It has a wealth of amazing recordings by high quality teachers. I can't imagine my life without it, as it supports me on my road to good health.

I love using the Insight Timer app and use it daily. There are so many different meditations to use. Something for everyone and your needs at the moment

Insight Timer is an absolutely life-changing app that really allows you to be in the driver’s seat of your own personal transformation and soul journey. Rather than following a specific trajectory with meditation like many other apps, Insight Timer has a library of hundreds of thousands of tracks from over 20 thousand teachers, so you can try out different types of mindfulness until you find something that speak to you.

It’s also a great place to start if you heard of a certain kind of meditation from a friend and just want to test it out. I personally ended up here about 10 years ago because a friend of mine introduced me to Yoga Nidra, a laying down meditation technique that doesn’t require you to do anything but listen to the teacher speak. As someone who had a monkey mind that never shut off and who sitting upright was super uncomfortable for, I thought I just couldn’t meditate, until I found Yoga Nidra and my entire understanding of what meditation was shifted. And Insight Timer had a bunch of options for me to try, so I could work with this new discovery for free.

Fast forward to now, I became certified in Yoga Nidra and am now a teacher on Insight Timer myself! I feel so aligned offering meditations and getting to teach live classes where I connect with this amazing community of open-minded, loving humans, who are all stepping into their own self discovery and want to make the world a better place, just like I do. And I still use the app to explore my own mind and try different meditation practices everyday as well as use binaural beat tracks while I’m working or play waves as white noise while I sleep. Insight Timer is not just an app for me, it’s become a way of life. It’s my personal sanctuary, a safe place for discovery, the foundation of my wellness business, and a place where I’m building community.

I would recommend this app to all humans everywhere, and, even though it can be overwhelming at first because of all the options available, I wholeheartedly encourage anyone who is ready to make a change to just dive in and trust the process - try out a few meditations, go to a few live classes, and see where you end up. Self awareness isn’t easy, but it is the first step towards a fulfilling life. You might find exactly what you’ve been searching for, or something even better! 💖💖💖 I hope to meet you in the app!

A wonderfully deep yet simple app. The community aspect of it separates it in a crowded marketplace. Bravo!

Insight trimmer is home for comfort, wisdom and growth. I recommend this app to everyone asking for guidance and then some. I am honored to be a member and a paying customer for courses and challenges. Thanks so much

This app has literally saved my life. I recommend it to strangers in the grocery stores & anywhere I go. It’s life changing & enhancing. These teachers are sharing life saving information & knowledge that we are not taught in school…. For free too. What a beautiful concept!!! Sharing wisdom & knowledge for the greater good of all humanity. There are no words that could describe my gratitude towards the beautiful humans who have designed this app.🥰💖countless blessings & so much love to all these wonderful teachers who give their time & energy & the creator for bringing this into fruition.

Has made my meditation a habit! The variety of guided meditation options is amazing, high quality teachers, and the timer feature is always there for me. The options help me fit meditation into my life in so many ways. I upgraded to the Plus membership because I use it so much and wanted to give back, although the basic free app is generous and seamless. The widget reminding me to keep my streak has been the best hack for keeping my habit strong until the practice is ingrained.

I've used this app for many years and have had a fun and rewarding experience. The app is very user friendly and the community is very helpful. You can easily find meditations to fit your needs and a community to support you. I really appreciate the many free meditations and contributors, though I am a paid subscriber, I often contribute to my favorite leaders.

Insight timer has literally saved my life. Four years ago I discovered this app when I needed it most, and through it, I rediscovered myself. I listen to it every day now.

I have been using the insight timer app for way over ten years now and absolutely love it. I have tried other meditation timers and apps but none comes close. I can recommend it wholeheartedly.

Insight timer has so much available whether you are just starting out, going through something specific in life, want to create your own sound, experienced, want to be still or move, or even just looking to connect with soulful people from around the world. Meditation has changed my life and Insight Timer has been the bridge for my to meditation. 10 out of 10 recommend

The Insight Timer app is helping me tremendously with my insomnia issues. Couldn’t recommend the more!

I use InsightTimer daily for meditation that is integral to my mental, physical, and spiritual wellbeing. The app is an invaluable resource.

Absolutely love Insight Timer and recommend it to everyone! Fabulous choice of meditations and visualisations. It has got me through some really dark nights of the soul. I use the timer every day for my morning meditation and love how I have set it to ping every 20 minutes so I can choose between short, medium or the full hour.

I prefer not to give you a star rating if possible.

InsightTimer's support is utterly deplorable. I have been waiting for a response since Summer 2024 regarding a teacher who insulted me, falsely reported me for spamming, and claimed I was disruptive. I have solid evidence to refute these allegations. The support management at InsightTimer has shown a complete lack of professionalism, responding with abusive silence treatment and disrespect instead of resolution. Despite reaching out via all available social media platforms over the months, my concerns and feelings have been consistently invalidated.

As a Plus Member, my membership has been breached; I am restricted from using social functions. I dedicate my time to helping teachers and organising daily sanghas, which I genuinely enjoy. What was a lifesaver during Covid has become a source of distress since last year due to the organisation’s negligent and damaging attitude towards its members. The so-called teacher involved refuses to pursue reconciliation, while InsightTimer ignores serious concerns and treats us as just a number. All I was seeking was for a constructive dialogue in search for peace, resolve and unity.

I did nothing wrong; running an organisation with such bias is unacceptable. They feel and behave that they are solely focused on extracting money from their loyal customers and pensioners. It’s disgraceful, especially since I have formed valuable friendships with so many teachers and actively promote the app on social media. Teachers I know wrote to Insighttimer giving them a character reference to help me out and they were told that management are going to contact me. Months gone by and I am still waiting. Dishonesty and unpresendented attitudes and lies come to mind!

This organization needs urgent scrutiny; it should not operate on public platforms while ruining people’s lives under the guise of promoting well-being. Their actions are disingenuous and harmful. Just two weeks ago, someone named Alex offered to help after I reached out for support, yet I was subsequently blocked from that social media platform after providing the requested information. It is outrageous how good and respectful people are being treated with such severity, lacking respect, accountability, and care—especially those of us paying membership fees.

I stand with those who rated this irresponsible and dysfunctional organization with one star, but it truly deserves zero stars since even one star is too generous. Last night, InsightTimer had the audacity to send me an email asking me to rate their app; here’s my response. Someone needs to take action and stop this organization from continuing its unacceptable and devastating practices. ❤️‍🩹🕊️🌻❤️‍🩹

So much content! All levels of meditation. Something for everyone to get started and to grow their meditation practice and deepen connection. I use it every day.

Love this app. So worth it. Incredible value for what you get.
