## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Creepy voice over

*2024-11-25*

Not much to the app. Better apps for free, plus every voiceover option is creepy and not relaxing

### 1/5 — Not sure how this can be classed as a meditation for sleep...

*2019-01-24*

...when you have to hold your phone and stare at the screen to keep count. Unless you expect people to fall asleep holding onto their phones??? Was expecting some kind of spoken/guided meditation, counting you through the breaths, given that it’s marketed as a sleep meditation app. Not worth the £0.99 right now.

### 1/5 — Not what I was expecting

*2017-09-22*

Very simple

### 2/5 — Too minimal

*2022-04-27*

This is very bare-bones. I’m sorry I spent 99 cents on this.

### 2/5 — Other app

*2018-12-29*

Get the free app by Health and Fitness, and if you do want to buy a better version, spend 99 cents within that app, not on this one.

### 3/5 — So close

*2020-12-07*

Great simplicity but add some less robotic voices, relaxing music, and longer time periods please! Take a lesson from the box breathing app

### 3/5 — Needs countdown

*2018-08-17*

Should have a number countdown for each phase. Would help you time it better.

### 4/5 — Pure simplicity

*2026-05-08*

Does what is says on the box. Elegant in it’s simplicity.

### 4/5 — Simple et utile

*2024-04-12*

Simple et efficace, par contre il faudrait pouvoir remplacer les voie par des bip tout simplement. Et une application pour Apple Watch serait génial.

### 5/5 — Exactly what I was looking for

*2024-04-22*

No ads or micro transactions, no other services cluttering my screen, and satisfies one purpose effectively.

### 5/5 — I like it!

*2020-10-04*

Really enjoying using this app. The minimal design is very much to my taste plus it talks to the Health app. I also like that you can either have it announce the instructions or just look at the display / feel the haptic touches with no sound.

 My enhancement requests would be: 
- 1 a configurable daily reminder function and 
- 2 an iOS 14 widget that I can tap “1 minute” (for example) and go straight into a breath.
