Insight Timer Omdömen 

I’ve used a handful of meditation apps in the past 6 years or so and this one’s my fave! I love the diversity of content you can find on here — not just meditations but music, courses, online events. First rate. I often think if everyone redirected 10% of their time spent on other apps to Insight Timer, the world would be an exponentially better place.

Can't recommend this app enough. I've had it for years and there has been so much content added to it over that time. I use it as a safe space away from social media when things just get a little too chaotic. Works a treat!

I've not purchased the premium offering yet, but there's honestly so much to explore in the free version that premium isn't super necessary, which is a win.

Agree with Mark 4 days ago. After years of enjoying insight timer, it asked me to verify my email. I did that and then it prompted me to answer questions. I started to do that and then decided to cancel and check online reviews. When I couldnt get out of that question page in the app, I deleted the app. How annoying!

Awful app update in May 2025. Meditations have been buried, just a dull list of 3 minute mediations and a list by the teacher you previously listened to. The homepage greets you with a list of what others are listening to (why?!) and a demand to set an intention which when I first wake up isn't really what's on my mind. The teacher tab is a fantastic version of Expedia with a delightful list of ways to spend thousands of pounds on a retreat... I mean, it's just nonsense. I previously enjoyed a quiet calm space to come and rest and am now having content shoved at me with a constant display of what I'm missing out on as a non 'plus' member. As an app designed to care for people's wellbeing this latest rollout is almost shameful.

I have been using this consistantly for a year or so now when another update comes along and my phone starts asking how I feel.
How I feel is annoyed and dissappointed that the perfectly useful benign and welcoming interface has now started the cold, electronic welcome approach to wellbeing.
Am looking for an alternative as I write.

The guided Meditation sessions are excellent but recently the audio quality has deteriorated with 'clicking' occurring during sessions. I would pay for the subscription but for the terrible audio quality that I don't get on other apps such as Amazon Music and Samsung Health.

This app has some excellent meditation teachers but some of the recordings are just plain awful. One teacher intoned "strong back soft front" without crediting Roshi Joan Halifax, nor explaining what this means. Similarly, she used meditation jargon without helping the listener to connect with inner experience. This is watered down so as to be meaningless, and the ambient music just feels manipulative. There is a vast array to choose from which is overwhelming and doesn't invite serious study.

Insight has been my favorite app for many years. I use it daily for my "quiet time" of meditation and prayer, a practice I've committed to since 2001. I love the community aspect of being able to connect to other people around the world who are also using the timer, guided meditations, or courses.

The 4 rather than 5 is because when I became a teacher on IT and added my own meditations, they only allowed followers to connect to my profile, so I was unable to connect with others as "friends." I wasn't thrilled with that change as a teacher, as I love the community component, but I do understand it.

It is still an app that I use daily and love a great deal.

As a user there is still much very good free content you can access, although this is becoming more limited with Plus content only available for subscribers. I can still donate to individual teachers.
But it hasn’t been designed with users in mind, they are really pushing people into subscribing now. And there have been some really awful ‘features’ added, like after each meditation a rapidly spinning wheel with minutes meditated that day comes up on the screen, which is really triggering for people with visual sensitivities that come with many medical conditions. It’s the Total opposite to relaxing, more in your face pushy that you get in on line advertisements! I’ll have to stop using the app.

I’ve been charged for a premium annual subscription for two years which I never authorized. I never signed up for a paid subscription. Their phone is disconnected and they have no customer service email or number.

The worse every don't become a teacher on this site they are dictators and steal your copyright work then tell you it isn't approved they insult your photos and very hard to deal with and honestly the app is always crashing. support team is rude and act like they don't know who the teachers and honestly discriminating

I had a free 7 day trial, cancelled it within 24h. They still billed me for a year subscription. Very dodgy.

Fantastic app. I’ve been using it for many years on and off subscription. There is an enormous amount of content that is totally free and of really high quality. In fact I think it’s more generous than any other app of a similar kind and although I don’t subscribe I do donate to teachers of content I use a lot. My only quibble is that I can’t find information on subscription cost for uk, only in dollars and it doesn’t appear to give a monthly cost so maybe this isn’t an option which may be a problem for some people and puts me off committing again. It used to be £2.49 a month and easy to start and discontinue.. more transparency on costing please.

This is the worst meditation site ever. This might be a scam website. They deleted my account without any notice. I didn't even know what my violations are. I was not able to join my daily sessions. Too bad that I paid for a premium account. I tried contacting them, they will not respond to you.

If I could give this website zero stars I would. Signed up as a teacher, but they are more interested in how you represent them in your photograph than your meditation content. They tried to spin it to say that they knocked back my photo because of a filter (yes, I changed the background because the only suitable photo I had which fell into their ridiculously strict guidelines had other people in it and needed to be edited out and really didn't look much different to all the other airbrushed photographs of teachers on there to be fair) .. I really don't want to have my work on a site that is so fixated on something so trivial. When I asked for my account and data to be deleted they said there was no need! When a person asks for their data to be deleted you delete it from your site!! I don't want to be associated with your site! I listened to a few of the recordings on the front page and can't say they are anything special anyway .. probably dodged a bullet in the long run, so thanks insight timer! I will be happy to delete this review when you delete my data!

I have used Insight Timer for around 6 years now and it forms part of my daily practice. Whilst the free content is amazing, I do subscribe because I like the courses and freedom to download my favourites to listen off line. Whether you are new to mindfulness and meditation or not, this is a great platform with some truly amazing teachers.

Last 10+ updates are only for plus members. No issues solved. Standard reply from the Insight Timer is to send a mail. I send a lot of them, incl. screenshots, movies. Now over a year later, almost none are solved. So no, I won't send any emails anymore. But example. Just got disconnected from a live. Tried to return. Live is not in the list anymore.
Inbox messages? You can't delete them.

As a teacher on this app I've had a different experience than some consumers. I have experienced a technical issue with this app and instead of helping or finding a work around, the developers have left me hanging. I've reached out again with the hope of resolving this issue, but I will not hold my breath. I cannot recommend this app for teachers at this time due to this ongoing issue.

This App advertising is breaking all comsumer laws... They advertise it is free, then when you download they offer a 7day free trial but charge you £50.99 for annual subscription after 4 days even though I cancelled the trial as it is not at all providing the type of advise & support I was looking for. Avoid at all costs... Not trustworthy...

I used to really love Insight timer when it was all free, now most of the content is for the 'plus' subscription which one can not afford. I understand they need to make money but it's really disappointing they are making most of the content so you have to pay for it.
