    After a long time waiting, the app now is available at the Google Play Store.



    Now, after post in both stores (Google and Apple) the app entered in the stage of continuous improvement.

    It means that I will start to take more focus to fix bugs and insert additional modules (like a chant book).

    Also, I will stop to use the forum to announce what will coming next. If somebody is curious, you can verify the roadmap in the link below:

    For next version - Insert Stroke order  -  Insert chant book with speech recognize module - Improvement of write pattern - Support for diffe...


    More, for now on I will just use this topic just to get your suggestions of new modules/fixes and to announce new versions explaining the latest improvements.

    NOTE FOR IOS Users:

    For my surprise, just after I published the last version weeks ago, I discovered bugs when the app is running in the latest Iphone. This bug was fixed and the tests are running in beta. The fix will be available in the next version.

      Hi Antonio

      I’ve been getting increasingly unhappy with the bloat of Insight Timer. Most of it can be ignored but not all. I decided I want a simple app so I am giving yours a try. I use iOS.

      Two suggestions
      1. it is traditional to have 3 bells at the beginning of a sit and one at the end. Your app plays just a single bell at the beginning and a single bell at the end.
      2. The app defaults to a 20 minute sit. It would be nice if it remembered the last sit duration and reused it.
      Nothing that I can’t live without. I’ll be trying your app for a few days

      Congratulations.

        Hi Tairin,

        I intent to release a new version soon with this things fixed. Unfortunatelly, work, moving to a new house, jukai, ango, kid, etc is making me postpone the deploy. I will be glad to adapt the app to our sangha needs. I hope that you enjoy.

                Hi Antonio,

                I’m glad this thread came back to the top today as I just switched to iPhone and would like to try it. I’m currently using a really simple meditation timer app (I find Insight Timer to be too much like social media and therefore distracting). I’m also curious about the Shakyo practice aspect.

                  Thank you Antonio for creating this! And thank you Jundo for reintroducing this thread that started before I joined and I might not have found otherwise.

                  I just downloaded this on my Android device and it is wonderful. It's simple, elegant and clean. Excellent work Antonio!

                    So I did download it and there’s one major bug on iPhone 16 Pro: I can only access one character to trace because the bottom is cut off and I can’t access the menu/buttons. (I can just see that they are there because I can see the very top of the symbols but I can’t click anything).

                    A relatively minor nitpick: I’d really like it if I can set the sitting time and leave it rather than having it default to 20 every time I open the app.

                    The interface is beautiful and simple!

                      Hi Chikyo,

                      I tried to fix all the issues described and improved the app (I tested here and everything resulted as expected). In the next version I intent to create a memory for the app remember the last time inserted as you suggested. There were so many bugs in this version that I needed to give priority to it to the app work smoothly.

                      The update should be available soon (need the Apple approval, in general take few hours). Also, tomorrow I will work for this update be available also on Android.

                      Thank you for your kind feedback and please let me know if everything is ok for you, now.

                      Gassho,

                              I am glad that it is being useful and this is the reason why I developed it. The improvements will happen during the time and following your feedbacks (Also it will help me to test, once it is impossible for me test in every device in the world). Currently the app Support more than 5500 devices. I will implement everything to make it useful and facilitate your practice.

                              Soon, I intent to make this project open source, thus anyone can help or make your own variation of this app.
