Plum Village Customer Insights

1. My favorite thing is having the mindfulness bell! It is changing my life, Thank You! I have just one suggestion- could there be a widget that has the mindfulness bell, so you can have this beautiful tool on the home page and easier to access? Thank you so much!What can I say about this app? There's lots of well-produced, free meditations and teaching that are both based on storied Buddhist traditions in addition to cutting age neuroscience.

2. Not sure what else to try.This is a great app, and I was excited about the mindfulness bell feature, HOWEVER, it only worked for a day and now no matter what I do they no longer sound at all on my Galaxy note 8.

3. Very impressive and accessible! I got the app for the timer I can set to ring a mindfulness bell every 5-to-60 minutes.

4. One issue that perhaps someone can help me with: I have set the Mindfulness Bell to ring every 30 min, but it doesn't ring.

5. My favorite elements are the bell of mindfulness and the meditation timer.

6. Unfortunately the main reason I installed it was to use the mindfulness bell which does not work properly.

7. The mindfulness bell sounds better on the speaker rather than from the cell phone.

8. It has been really difficult for me to consistently integrate mindfulness practice into my life and this app has helped me change that pattern due to it's easy interface and useful content.

9. Edit: Also I can't make the bell stop going off every 5 minutes, now, even though it's completely turned off.Update: The bell mysteriously rings at unexpected times even when I have turned it off.

10. Downside: every time the bell goes off, it adds a notification to the notification bar.

11. Played with the settings for a while, seems impossible to turn off the notification without turning off the bell entirely.
