Unacceptable bugs freezing during breathwork sessions
Also check out the version history. Update notes are frequently repeated with the same copy verbatim. It does not seem much care or attention is being put into this app.

We’re sorry for the frustrating experience 😞. Freezing issues during sessions are definitely not what we want for our users. Our team is working on fixes, and we appreciate your patience. If you’d like support or have more feedback, email us at info@breathwrk.com — we’re here to help! 💙
Great app but frustratingly unstable
I would love to see these issues fixed and a count down timer added so you can see how long is left of the session. That would definitely make it 5 stars!
UPDATE 1: Issue has persisted. Reinstalled again and still stalling (stopping before the cycle is complete) and timer does not work when extended beyond 5 mins! Frustrating!
UPDATE 2: Have still not had a reply from the app developer so have requested a refund. Additionally, there is another fault! The guided voice and accompanying sounds intermittently stop! They restart again if the session is paused and restarted. This is a great concept but an poorly executed app.

New update is not it. Read before buying.
The update has removed so many of the daily breath wrk exercises I use.
- I can no longer schedule no breath work for the times that suits me. Because it won’t let me. It gives me a short list of breathing exercises.
- It’s completely reset 3 years with of breathing exercises, my streak, my minutes, my everyday use and my daily reminders.
- It’s no longer connecting to the apple health app, so any mindfulness minutes aren’t logged.
- If I choose an exercise to do. Even if I chose 20 minutes, it bugs out. Crashes and stops at 5 minutes. Which is really stressful.
- It’s removed exercises I used regularly.
- It’s removed my ability to increase my daily breath work. It’s capped at 20 minutes. I use two in the morning and I have been getting closer to 30 minutes a day. Having to go back in and set another timer is infuriating.
- that being said, it won’t even save the Breathwrk that I am wanting to do. I pick it, save the minutes and it ends in 4-5 minutes. It’s not relaxing!
- $15 a month. A month!! That’s $180 a year. I get it. They have to make a profit. But that’s ludicrous considering they’ve literally ripped the rug right under my daily use and it is incredibly buggy now, just leading to more stress.
This was a great app 3 years ago. But as of November 2024. It is not.
New User Experience - Outch!
Not working since update
Promising App, But Persistent Glitches and Poor Support
However, after that first week, the app’s performance declined significantly. It began freezing frequently, especially during the last minute of breathing exercises. All my favourited exercises disappeared, and my streak has remained at 0 despite daily use. I’ve updated the app three times as new updates were released, but these issues persist.
I reached out to the Breathwrk team via the contact email provided, requesting an explanation and a refund, but I haven’t received any response. It’s been four weeks since my initial message, and I even sent a follow-up email in between.
I waited this long before leaving a review to give the team a fair chance to address the issues, but I feel quite disappointed. While the app is well-rated and has great potential, the recent glitches and lack of basic functionality have made it frustrating to use. I feel like I’ve wasted my money on a subscription that doesn’t meet expectations.

Used to be better
Response from developer
Thanks so much for sharing your feedback—we really appreciate it! 😊 We wanted to let you know that the mouth and nose indicators are back in the latest update (yay!), so you can enjoy those again. About the dark mode—we totally get that it’s not everyone’s vibe. We’re looking into ways to make it more customizable in the future, so stay tuned.

Excellent app, deserves 5* but glitches need fixing first
