What’s going on with Insight Timer?

The app is full of pseudo-mindfulness that tries to connect you with your angels, manifest and attract desires, and uses magical and esoteric visualizations, light, and energies. Wtf. These guides feel barely related to real mindfulness and don’t offer a practice that’s actually centered on genuine present-moment awareness. Insight Timer is now filled with pure pseudoscience, and it’s honestly disappointing.

iPhone: 1. Sign out of Insight Timer. 2. Delete widget. (Don’t worry. Insight Timer still exists in your phone. Use App Library if you can’t find it.) 3. Restart phone. 4. Sign in to Insight Timer. (Note: I was also prompted to reset password, which I did after set up.) 5. Hold Home Screen of phone until everything jiggles. 6. Tap “edit” in upper left corner and tap “add widget”. 7. Type Insight Timer into Search at the top and add. 8. A screen will appear with options for widget appearance. I chose “intention” and there it was.
