Mindfulness Bell for Negative User Reviews

Don’t waste your money. Doesn’t work.I downloaded this app a few years ago. Then it just stopped making any sound. I forgot I still have the app on my phone because it never works. Yes, it’s scheduled to work. Yes, the volume is on. It just doesn’t make any sounds. I tried going to the help link bit that just takes you to advertisement for their “top 6 apps” and then loops you right back to the App Store. So, yeah… there is no app support and the app doesn’t work..Version: 6.4.1

Volume control works very poorly.Volume doesn’t work on app. The quiet bell is too quiet and the regular bell too loud. Loudness of bell does not respond to volume buttons on my iphone xr. Also, the limit on the number of bells is annoying. It makes it very difficult to set up your bell for the entire day. I find it hard to understand what software limitation creates such a stringent limit on the total number of bells.Version: 5.2.1

Bell is silent when phone is lockedThe bell sound is perfect but when the phone locks there is no sound..Version: 6.1.2

Doesn't run in backgroundThis is a great tool to have working away in the background but the trouble is it isn't doing that at all. As soon as the home button or the standby button is pressed the bells stop (while the timer keeps on going). If that could be fixed then it would be great.Version: 2.3.1

Chime is too quiet.This app is pretty great, but I’ve found the sounds to be too quite. I have to put the volume on my phone at 100% to be able to hear it. There needs to be a way to adjust the chime volume from within the app, otherwise all other notifications are super loud..Version: 6.3.2

Doesn’t make soundI’ve gone through all the troubleshooting steps twice, and this still won’t make sounds when the phone is locked. Hoping the developers can find something that works consistently with iOS updates.Version: 6.4.1

Why such a low max limit for bells?Otherwise exactly what I was looking for, but why the limit of 64 maximum scheduled mindfulness reminders? I'd like to set a mindfulness bell every 5 min (or even more frequently) throughout the whole day, but currently it's not possible. I'll have to look elsewhere, then....Version: 4.1.4

Does not work anymore.Since they’ve asked you to pay for different bells now, although there are two free bells, the app no longer works at all. A shame. I really liked this app..Version: 6.3.2

Nice app, could use some improvementsGreat bell sound! Very authentic and rings for a long time . I wish I could set the ringtone like an alarm, to go off at more than one specific time, rather than just going off at pre-programmed intervals after the first time. Maybe there’s a way to do that, but I don’t see it..Version: 6.3.2

Doesn’t work and needs notifications on.It simply doesn’t work and you can’t just have it operate in the background. It needs notifications on so it’s always on....Version: 5.1.1

Nothing.No random bells since iOS 15. Tap to ring one of the bells subscribed to, otherwise nothing. Tried everything I can think of, notifications on etc. Please look into this, you had a very good app indeed here..Version: 6.3.2

Heats up phoneA simple timer but when online heats up phone due to heavy use trying to show all the places where others are currently meditating..Version: 6.3.2

Work on iPhone but not iPad.Both running latest software but this works on iPhone but no sound on iPad. Notifications sounds is on..Version: 6.4.1

Break time neededThis is a very good random bell to remind you to be in the moment. However it would be nice to be able to set up two sessions instead of just one or to set a break time..Version: 6.3.2

Cool app, suspicious lack of termsIn the app, the privacy policies and the terms of service information never loads. Also, when I go to the developers website it cannot be found. This is usually a sign of something shady so buyer beware. There is also no way to notify the company to pass along this information to them..Version: 6.4.1

AdequateI paid for the year subscription on my iPad because I wanted different bell-sounds. It won’t let me access the new bells on my iPhone though. I guess it only allows upgrade on one device. Pretty crap really..Version: 6.3.2

Mindfulness hellI'm so disappointed in this app. I assumed that once set the bells would continue on, not stop after 24 hours like most of the free apps available. I want my money back.Version: 3.3.1

Works, but...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..Version: 4.1.4

It doesn’t work. No matter what I do.Can’t get it to work. I’ve checked notifications and they are on..Version: 6.3.2

...App never works..Version: 6.3.2

Mindfulness BellThis does not work on my 4s iphone no instructions, very frustrating app, totally not mindfulnesss.Version: 2.3.1

Not obvious, not working.I’ve tried all ways to get the selected, upgraded bell to signal. Only the original will sound but you can’t learn this until you’ve purchased. Not worth trying to unravel. Turning on notifications as instructed does not solve issue. Preset schedule doesn’t appear to work at any time length start etc. the timer with no presets does work. It’s what I wanted exactly. On demand, simple practice but alas not with the bells I paid for..Version: 6.4.1

No soundI had this app in the past and loved it Now it runs but I don’t have any sound It’s all set up to operate and sound is up to full - nothing???? Any fix?.Version: 5.1.1

Mindfulness bellI have paid for this bell but it does not work..Version: 6.4.1

BobbinsTotally useless timer set up.Version: 5.1.1

Very buggy & doesn’t even bell sometimesIt’s very hard to meditate when you keep wondering whether the app will actually sound the bell this time or not!!! When the screen is locked, sometimes the app rings the bell and others doesn’t. Thought maybe because it was on silent and made sure it isn’t, still very moody performance! Also if you have the mindfulness reminders on, you cannot use the meditation timer unless you cancel the former! Very strange.. I know it’s free which is why two stars, but come on….Version: 6.4.1

Wanted it to work…Nice idea, but even with all of the rules about how to make it sound when it chimes, it doesn’t work. Latest iOS on an iPad and have all of the notification settings, etc. on and ready. The bells sound when you tap on the sounds, but when it comes around to an alert - volume up and ready - it just doesn’t sound. The design is pretty nice, so that’s why I gave it an extra star..Version: 6.4.1

Not an app I recommendIt drains so much battery life. Basically I can start a 20minute session with 75% battery life and then by the end I’m hitting the 20% indicator. So what ends up happening is that when I’m looking to meditate for 20 minutes when my phone is at 35% battery left then why would I even bother using this app? I just like it for the bell. Everything else is just a drain on the battery..Version: 6.3.2

No soundHaven’t heard the bell once since I set this up.Version: 6.3.2

NondualI wanted a Timer App with an inspiring gong. This App fails to provide the full selection of bells/gongs for the Timer. I upgraded to the paid App and which was a waste because it still didn’t work. I appreciate that this is mainly advertised as a mindfulness bell, rather than a Timer. I tried to contact the App developer but there is no facility..Version: 6.3.2

Company no longer exist???I paid for the upgrade. It is not working. I have tried all troubleshooting options, reached out to apple, tried their troubleshooting links, nothing. Tried to contact the developer, and have been prompted several times, “no connection to server,” over a two week period. Tried googling the company and dead end there as well. I have used this app in the past and LOVED it. Was trying to use it again and then share it with a large community I am in but have hit a point where apple is just going to refund me. I am sad! If this company is still in business please fix! I, and others, want your product! 🥺.Version: 6.4.1

Not working for meSadly, the random or hourly bells are not working. Maybe its my phone, maybe the app. Waste of money….Version: 6.4.1

Why 35%?Great timer. Really simple and a joy to use. But why does a 30 minute meditation draw 35% of my battery power? The standard issue clock/timer/stopwatch only draws 3% for the same job! Mike North Essex.Version: 6.3.2

Jumbled front screenIt’s almost impossible to read the front screen options... keep hoping it might clear but it doesn’t!.Version: 5.1.1

The bell doesn’t come in every time:(The.Version: 6.2.1

Still on the journey to completenessThe Original bell sound is beautiful and just what I was after to start and end my meditation, but the app is a little buggy in that sometimes the bells don’t sound on the timer (which is obviously a bit pointless). I suspect all dev effort goes into the in app purchases side, which is fair enough (I only use the free functionality)..Version: 6.4.1

Nice features but keeps crashingI liked this so bought access to the full range of bells (£1.99 per year). But I just tried the timer setting so you can make it ring a bell at a selected frequency and it won’t work, the app just keeps crashing :( it’s a shame as otherwise a nice app that I was glad to discover.Version: 6.4.1

BellApp fonctionne mal.Version: 6.3.2

No volume controlThis app works great for its intended purposes, but it’s very annoying that I cannot turn the volume down. When I am at work it either has to be completely off or I have to turn off my phone sound, which doesn’t work for me..Version: 6.4.1

Disappointed - Needs improvementI thought this app was going to chime at set or random intervals everyday between say 7am and 10pm. Instead I have to start it every time I want to use it. It's more like a meditation app in that way - I've got one of those from the same developer, so having this app is somewhat redundant. I'd like to see this app be more useful in day to day living, so that throughout my day I am reminded to be mindful. The app should be always running sort of like an alarm. Basically, I want to set it up and forget about it, unless I want to change the settings. I hope these concerns are addressed in an update..Version: 2.3.1

Limited options for bell timingOld version was simple and allowed for random bells over short time spans. This new version feels like random source-forge timer code. It just does not allow what I enjoyed..Version: 4.1.4

No soundsIt is not working - the bell is not ringing. I have used this app very successfully for some time on my previous phone. It then stopped working. I have downloaded it again on my new phone that has ios16 and it is not ringing. Such a shame. I hope it can be made to work..Version: 6.4.1

It’s not workingThe bell is not going off at all!! And can’t work out how to get it working. Any suggestions?.Version: 5.1.1

StuckI get exactly one screen with the settings I originally chose. I can find no way to change the settings or even to access additional paid options if I were to want them. Aside from that, I’ve been happy with the performance of the app..Version: 6.4.1

Annual fee unacceptableShould be blue to pay a once of fee. I’m not signing up for a annual hit. Ridiculous!.Version: 6.3.2

The bell stopped workingI think there is a glitch in the main bell. It stopped working and when I click on start the app closes..Version: 6.4.1

Not happyI purchased this app for my iPad. I got the yearly upgrade. I have emailed twice now to see if the upgraded bells can go on to my iPhone. No answers given..Version: 6.4.1

Doesn't workTried to use this but the bells didn't chime off. I'd set it and check later, and the countdown would indicate that several bells had rung; but I hadn't heard any..Version: 3.1.1

Easy to set up for a one-day or daily useWould be nice if you could select certain days of the week for a schedule and be able to save that schedule and also create a couple more schedule options..Version: 6.4.1

It only works if I select a timerI was looking forward to using the main screen where you can choose the bell to ring in intervals, but it doesn’t work. It only works if you select he timer option, but you can’t pick intervals..Version: 6.3.2

Bells… what bells?I loved this app when it worked. Now the bells have stopped and there is no way to contact the app provider or get any support. Therefore not getting what I paid for!!?? Frustrating and disappointing..Version: 6.4.1

Doesn’t work..Downloaded it and it doesn’t ring at all..Version: 6.3.2

No goI tried this product because Insight Timer doesn’t use the internal clock but relies on elapsed time, which gradually lags due to being interrupted by other audio programs (y’know, like the phone? Mindfulness Timer at least uses the internal clock...sorta. I set up a timer schedule for every day, using the free default bell, but got sporadic results on my iPhone 6plus and my iPhone 8plus. Sometimes it would ring, most of the time not. I decided to try the subscription version. Major change: no results whatever and even at initiation it fails to ring the bell I chose and paid for. So I logged onto the mfg site, only to be very strongly warned that it was not only insecure but suspected of data theft. For my own protection I removed MT from both iPhones and requested a refund from Apple. Wish I could give it a negative star or at least zero..Version: 6.3.2

CrAPPGot the app, paid two dollars for a year subscription, tried to set my first timer, and the app crashed. And crashed. And crashed. All I wanted was a 15 minute timer with a bell every five minutes. Didn’t think that would be so difficult. Is part of the way it teaches mindfulness to frustrate you when you are trying to meditate? Hmm. Would be an interesting experiment I guess..Version: 6.4.1

App not working on iPhone 12We i select Start the app closes. Please resolve. -P.Version: 6.4.1

The bell is ringing only if the phone is open on this app, ifI was expecting the bell to ring even when I am on a different app. I am disappointed..Version: 6.4.1

Hope this can be fixed…Unfortunately when I click “get support” it opens up the developers website to allow me to click what app of theirs I need support with, and when I click it it redirects me back to the App Store where my only other recourse is to leave a review. So here it is.. This would be a lovely experience except for the fact that the bells do not fade out naturally, it instead are abruptly cut off. I cannot see any setting on my end to allow the bell to resonate to its natural conclusion. The abrupt and premature cutoff of the bell completely undermines what would otherwise be a fabulous experience. I’ll update this review to reflect improvements if said improvements occur, or if I’m given guidance as to how to adjust something on my end to eliminate the issue. I have searched all options and don’t see how I could fix it via settings adjustments, but if I’m wrong, I’ll be glad to be proven so if it means I can fix the problem..Version: 6.4.1

This app kills my batteryRunning this app for 12 minutes consistently drains my phone battery from 100% to 65% or worse..Version: 6.3.2

Doesn’t workDisplay doesn’t come up properly.Version: 6.3.2

MeNeeds much improvement, such as repeat bells to zero and ability to set different sequences for weekends and weekdays. Also only one bell sound. Their other products are excellent this is poor..Version: 2.3.1

Bell doesn’t workPlease can you advise how to get the bell working? Thank you.Version: 5.1.1

Good in theory but It doesn’t work at all.It doesn’t ring. Plus it has low quality sounds. Yes even the paid ones. My other free unpaid apps has higher sound quality.Version: 6.4.1

No guys. Keep trying...I’ve tried several timer apps, as I’m looking for something simple that runs in the background while I meditate to a soft sound background. This one lacks the ability to customize the volume of the bell independently. I never hear it. And the interface makes no sense to me. What’s the difference between the two? Going back to Insight Timer..Version: 6.3.2

Hellooo where are you?Only time I’ve heard the bell is on testing it. Tried repeatedly to set a programme of timings still nothing, zilch, nada, silent bell I guess!! Most expensive silence so far!.Version: 6.3.2

Update this pleasePlease make an option to have infinite number of bells. I don't wanna have to set it up every 24hours. This is maximum time setting you can have..Version: 3.1.1

Upgraded and now it doesn’t workCan support please help? I paid to upgrade and then the app went buggy, not applying the chosen bell to the timer, and if I tried to use the bell as a reminder, the app closed. I deleted the app but kept the subscription, downloaded it again, and now it doesn’t recognize the upgrade I paid for. I hope there is a way to fix this, as I have enjoyed the free version for a long time now..Version: 6.3.2

Sound lessThis hell of a bell is broken It's very quite here.Version: 4.1.4
