Great App
Absolutely love this app, it’s really helped me keep on top of my training. Would recommend to anyone!
Won’t track my meditations streak
I keep having my streak reset to the first day everyday and it won’t count how many days in a row I’ve meditated.
Pause
I don’t like how you it always shows the add thing saying pause premium.
No option to turn off sound?!
I used to live this simple little app. When I was in a meeting and having trouble focusing it was perfect. It was both calming and focusing. Now it is useless! The only time I can use it is if I’m alone in a quiet room, and then I don’t need it! I bought it because it purports to help anxiety and improve focus, but I can’t use it in situations where that’s needed. Even with the volume turned down on my phone this app broadcasts to everyone around me that I’m using it.

We never force anyone to create an account. You can exit the account creation page, and use Pause without an account. An account will keep your data safe across multiple devices.
Better than Headspace
App is simple and straightforward. Developer continues making meaningful improvements to the app in response to feedback!

Thank you for your kind feedback! We will keep improving Pause to serve you well.
Amazingly effective
I’m astonished at how relaxing this is. I’ve done different mindfulness practices for years and this one immediately kick starts my parasympathetic nervous system,’to the point where I get a wave of drowsiness within a minute and I feel very centered in the present moment.
Was good, seems broken now
I downloaded this years ago when it first came out and used it a lot - the basic idea works well and it was very relaxing. Trying this latest version now it seems to kick me out early half the time with the music stopping, leaving me more stressed than I was beforehand.
Gorgeous, relaxing design
This is an amazing app and is well worth the money! The only improvement I would ask for is for an option to keep the "guide" from growing outside of the screen. I would like to watch it follow my fingertip and I find that part most relaxing.
Update: very bummed that the newest update requires an annual fee now to access the additional features after I paid for the app, but at least the original feature is still free…hoping the same won’t happen to Sway…

Thanks for your feedback. Pause changed to a subscription model last October. We did so in a way that we completely respected the part of the experience you have purchased previously, and at the same time added many new functionalities that do not require subscription to use. We feel that this is what we can do to ensure continuously increase the value of Pause for our valued users like you. Sway will stay as it is.
Cheap sounds and loops
While the app is such a wonderful idea. The sounds and loops sounds cheap and fuzzy when playing without headphones. Sadly it should be much easier to play high-quality sound even without headphones. With such apps as headspace and thunderstorm this app compares very poorly.
