Mudita Kompakt Meditation App Volume Setting and other feedback

hey, very much enjoy my new mudita kompakt. I enjoy having a meditation timer on there as well.
Two things I find annoying:
a) you cannot set the volume of the bell while in the app (not sure what the volume buttons are controlling, but has no influence on bell sound). This is to me is a bug, the hardware buttons should directly set the relevant media volume, while in the app.
b) we are limited to certain times, classical 25 minute zen period is not supported, etc. Please allow custom time length to be set.
Two things I would very much enjoy:
c) I feel more important to show the number of consecutive days meditated in the statistic section (see insight timer website for some research on why this is a key factor for an impactful meditation practice; also see insight timer app in general for best in class meditation timer)
d) the bell sound is pretty bad and cut short very early. Please invest in a beautiful, well recorded sound that fits with the overall quality of the device.
Thanks for considering these ideas. Tilman

Is it also true that the Kompakt’s Meditation app does not play a distinct tone when its timer reaches 0?

I found a meditation app that I put on my deGoogled Pixel 6, and I like the fact that it plays a distinct sound at time = 0. This lets me know that I have reached the end of the meditation (instead of requiring me to count the number of on-the-minute tones).

I never used the one minute intervals, yet, so I do not know. Actually this could be another improvement:
a) have custom time setting for interval bells (I usually would like to have one every 15 or 30 Minutes).
b) if what you say is true: have different sounds for interval bell and ending bell.

Every time meditation bell sound is played at the end of meditation, I got scared. I would like to be able to change the sound for something calmer. Loud “gong” sound is not how I want to end my relaxing session :smiley:

Noticed, noted, passed on to the development team.
Thank you!

and just so you know: you can go to settings => Sound => media volume and set this to lower. This made it less scary for me (but still not 100% pleasant …).

Vouching for the meditation statistics as well :slight_smile: It would be great to have consecutive days similar to insight timer. It creates great momentum with meditating!

Hey @aleksander : one more note on the request to allow flexibel length for the meditation timer. Actually using this now as my daily meditation app I really enjoy how easy and fast it is to switch between different length, usually one of the ones offered does fit, I get there with few taps. So for me personally I would not change having just some options on the main screen of the app, but just allow users to edit the set of minutes offered. Perhaps I never want 5 minutes and can therefore remove it and rather have 15, 20,25,30 as options. Overall I do enjoy how very simple this timer is, keeps distraction to a minimum.
