## What is 8women?

8women: Breathing is a mobile app featuring original guided breathing practices in video format, led by Olya Volkova. Discover how to use breathing as a tool for everyday self-care and emotional support. Each video includes a detailed explanation of the technique and step-by-step guidance throughout the practice.

The app includes:

Practices — for different emotional states and moments throughout the day: when you feel anxious, overwhelmed by anger, struggle to focus, or have trouble falling asleep. If you're new to breathing practices, start with the “Getting Started” section.
Your Practice — choose a ready-made breathing rhythm or customize your own.
Support — quick support for difficult moments, including panic, intense anxiety, and sleeplessness.
Breathe in Tune with Your Cycle — a personal menstrual cycle tracker with video practices tailored to each phase and advice from experts. You can import your cycle history from Apple Health.

8women: Breathing is a wellness app, not a medical product. Its practices do not replace consultations with a doctor or psychotherapist. In an emergency, call 103 or contact the psychological support hotline at 7333.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.1.1 — 2026-10-30

• More accurate cycle phases for shorter and longer cycles.
• Minor fixes and improvements.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-10-29

WHAT'S NEW IN 1.1.0
- Notifications: practice reminders and cycle tips are scheduled on the device. Permission is requested after onboarding. Promotional notifications ("News & offers") are opt-in and off by default (Profile > Settings > Notifications).
- Privacy choices: a consent screen for "Usage statistics" (Google Analytics for Firebase, no IDFA) and "Ad measurement" (Meta). Both are off by default; declining limits nothing. The App Tracking Transparency prompt appears only if the user turns on "Ad measurement", and the IDFA is used only after "Allow". Changeable any time in Profile > Settings > Privacy.
- Membership: an introductory offer for eligible users (terms shown on the purchase screen), switching from monthly to yearly, and a "Payment didn't go through" notice that links to the Apple ID payment settings.
- Cycle calendar: an explicit consent step before any cycle data is stored, and editing of period days. Consent can be withdrawn and the data deleted in Calendar > gear icon.

ABOUT THE APP
8 women is a breathing and wellness app: guided breathing practices, multi-week programs, a menstrual-cycle calendar kept on the device, and "Опора", short breathing support for acute emotional states. It is a wellness app, not a medical device, and makes no diagnostic or treatment claims.

DEMO ACCOUNT
Email sign-in with a one-time code: [DEMO EMAIL]. [HOW THE REVIEWER GETS THE CODE]. The account has access to the "Breathe the Feminine Way" course, where the cycle calendar lives. Sign in with Apple and Google are also available.

GUEST ACCESS (5.1.1(v))
"Continue without an account" on the start screen opens the app with no personal data: free practices, browsing programs, Опора and the custom practice builder. Sign-in is requested only for purchases, the notifications inbox and the profile.

IN-APP PURCHASES
Membership: auto-renewable subscription, monthly or yearly, in one group. Courses: non-consumables. Test with a Sandbox Apple ID. Access is granted server-side via App Store Server Notifications V2. If a purchase doesn't show: Profile > membership card > "?" > "Check access". The purchase screen shows the plan length and the billed price as the most prominent element, the introductory offer terms in text, and links to the Privacy Policy and Terms of Use (EULA); the same links are in the App Description.

APPLE HEALTH (2.5.1)
The app reads menstrual-flow records to import the cycle history and writes period days only when the user taps Export. Visible to every user at Profile > Settings > Apple Health, and in the course at Calendar > gear icon. Import asks for the cycle-data consent first.

HEALTH AND SENSITIVE DATA
Cycle data, symptoms, notes, the diary and Опора reflections stay only on the device (excluded from iCloud/iTunes backup) and are never sent to our servers, to analytics or to Meta. Our backend (Supabase) stores the account email, optional onboarding answers, purchases and the push token.

ОПОРА
Shows a one-time disclaimer that it does not replace a doctor or therapist, with emergency numbers for Ukraine (103 ambulance, 7333 psychological support) as tappable links.

ACCOUNT DELETION
Profile > "Delete" at the bottom deletes the account and all server data, and clears the cycle data on the device.
