Insight Timer Bewertungen 

Insight Timer is a part of my everyday life. I have been benefitting from Insight Timer for over 8 years. I start every day with a meditation - it sets me up in a calm and centered manner for whatever my day has in store. And I end my day with a meditation, my favorite being Yoga Nidra. It helps me fall into a deep and calming sleep.
I am a holistic health practitioner, and I regularly recommend Insight Timer to my clients!

I'm a minister and an epigeneticist, environmental wellness. Few people understand DNA changes with the environment. Insight amazes me on the number of classes and meditation and mindfulness practices. Just learning to breathe is life changing. I've used it regularly since 2017 and recommend it to everyone. A class of 2k with serious illnesses were astounded when I taught epigenetics and using Insight. Highly recommend.

Insight Timer connects me to my Anam Cara throughout the world. It brings resonance to connection.

An excellent meditation app, the free version is fully functional but you get a lot of extra content when you subscribe. This is the one nonnegotiable app for me.

I use Insight Timer (IT) every day, in fact many times a day and during the night. Every time I wake up at night, I either tune into a live session, or play a guided meditation to help me fall back asleep. And during the day there are talks on all subjects, demonstrations, live music sessions, not to mention yoga, Qi Gong and other modalities. Very very happy with IT, been using it for 7-8 years, and recommend it to everyone I meet.

I’ve had this for 3 years after trying both Calm and Headspace. IT is far superior in terms of content, ability to ask teachers a question and the overall ease in using the app. It’s helped me so much!! Thank you

I've used this app for many years, long before it was taken over by the people running it now. The app is very good at doing what it was originally designed for - timing meditation and other spiritual type practices. I'd give the original version 10 out of 5 stars.

Unfortunately it's corporate makeover has diluted many, if not most, of the good features and added useless ones. Now I give it one star. I'm getting the 'click link in email we sent' message every time I open the app on my iPhone, with no way to skip it. One, I've never received the purported email, and two, this seems like a spam or virus type of notice. I won't click it, and since I can't bypass it, the app is now unusable.

As others have noted, it's now asking me a long series of intrusive questions when I try to open it on my iPad. Pretty sure this is just for their data selling side. I can't verify their data use policy, but I've seen screenshots of what other have posted, and hoo boy! they collect and share (aka sell) a ton of your data.
To top it all off, they've either removed or very efficiently hidden any way to contact them.

Despite having met virtually many nice people using the app, I'm deleting it. Goodbye Insight Timer, I knew you when...

One of the most altruistic mediation apps out there that fully lives it's values... worth a shot

It's now my go-to app for meditation and sleep. It offers what feels like an unlimited number of free guided sessions, music and talks. The customisable timer is one of my favourite parts, better than the other meditation timer apps I've used before.

I especially love the community feel - it’s inspiring to know I’m meditating alongside people from all over the world and being taught by real people. Highly recommend!

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
