User Reviews: Mindfulness

Top reviews

  • Please go back to original version

    This new app is completely useless. I agree with other users who aren’t happy with the “upgrade”. The previous version wasn’t perfect but at least it was helpful and user friendly. Apple, please go back to the original version. I deleted this one.
  • Bad update

    Just updated to the Mindfulness app. Now it doesn’t allow me to set random times in the day to breath. I have to schedule my breathing sessions during the day. What a useless update. Deleting and looking for another app. Leave it to Apple to fix things that aren’t broken.
  • Please make this app available to all Apple users

    Don’t have a watch, but I’d still like to track my meditation. Other health features are available. Why not this??
  • Old app called breathe eclipses mindfulness app

    Apple hit the nail on the head with the first app called breathe. In the old app, the breathe notifications resembled a person next to you telling you to breathe whenever you really needed it. Now the notifications feel timed, robotic, less genuine. Hopefully they bring back the old notification setting so the people who truly benefit from the app will find joy once again.
  • “If it ain’t broke…” 🤷🏻‍♀️

    “…DON’T FIX IT!” Especially given the fact that what you guys erroneously thought would be a ‘fix’ turned out to be a different word that begins with ‘F.’ Lol 🤔 And apparently I’m in good company because, unsurprisingly, practically NO ONE is pleased that you broke one of the most common sense ‘rules’: The Breathe app wasn’t anything close to being broke, as you can clearly see here. In fact, it was a very beloved feature. I don’t really need to add anything else because my fellow Watch family has already spelled out all the reasons why we just want our O.G. calming app back. Come on, Apple, this should be a no brainer. At minimum, bring the native app back & at the very least offer it as an option for people to download if they prefer it; which I’m extremely confident people will do.
  • Bring previous animation back 🙏

    First Breathe animation with simple six circles was genial. Please let us enjoy it back.
    In addition, Breathe reminders were more frequently without any actions from my side. But today it isn’t obvious how to set the app right.
  • Please bring the old Breathe back

    The new app requires MULTIPLE click throughs and backs to change time for breathing, which is not conducive to relaxing. I’ve quit using this altogether because it’s it’s too complicated at the very moment when I need simple. And that makes me want to cry because I really found it to be useful. I don’t want the mindfulness thing at all. I don’t know what Apple was trying to do with this, but I find it to be useless and the prompts to be unhelpful, even frustrating. Please bring the old Breathe back and let that be it’s own app.
  • Downgrade

    I was disappointed when this app changed to not allow “breath” for more than five minutes, and not allow the user to adjust the time with the Apple Watch Crown
  • Update is not an improvement

    I loved the breathe app. The options of breathing designs were great, and I used it somewhat regularly when I needed a minute.

    I hate the new “Mindfulness” update. The breathing pattern is harder to follow, the mindfulness notifications are annoying, and the swirling mindfulness design isn’t calming or relaxing at all anyway.

    The previous version was my favorite app for mindful/calming breathing. I now go to other apps instead.
  • Need longer sessions

    Love the app. Wish there an option for longer than 5 minute sessions.
