Yes, from 5min to 50min a day, depending on my schedule.
I don't use apps, just follow my personal practice.
If someone ask me advice on this here's what I say:
Start small, like 5 minutes.
Although "serious" meditation is a different matter, a small meditation about mindfulness will surely change a lot of things :)
Keep it small if you don't have enough time and don't judge yourself if you can't make it through 20min easily, it's fine even if you do 1 min.
In the beginning I used an iOS app called InsightTimer, nice app.

Headspace is another great start.
