Weirdly relaxing
This makes a pretty good mindfulness exercise as you focus on slowly moving the dot about the screen. With respect to the instruction to close your eyes, well all you have to do is move your finger slowly (and randomly) across the screen and listen out for the bell that indicates the session is over. Or don’t close your eyes I’m not sure it makes much difference 🤷♀️

Great
It actually works. I’d like shine haptic feedback to let us know when to stop or what to do next. But fantastic!
Good potential, but flawed.
I want to give this more stars because it does cause me an immediate physiological response, calming and almost sedative, but you have zero control to make it work better for you depending on your needs, and it’s disappointing. Here’s what would help:
- Add an option in settings to turn the sound off. The music and birds are not relaxing to me (and there are no music or sound options). Yes, I can just mute it, but that’s not the point.
- Allow adjustments to the speed of the growth of the blob. This would not decrease the effectiveness, and it often takes me longer to fully relax than the current timeframe gives me.
- Let the user pick the color. Some colors are more soothing than others.
The way it is the frustration is outweighing the benefits.

Awesome For Anxiety
This app is literally a life saver- when I used to have bad panic attacks, this app was one of the few things that reliably calmed me down. I am so grateful!! I highly recommend to anyone who has anxiety and needs an easy way to calm themselves down.
Very relaxing
It’s really satisfying and peaceful beautiful app
I don't like the text
"Too fast" text is distracting. Just give some visual feedback, don't holler at me.
Good but there is a bug
Good app but there seems to be a bug where there is no sound. The app says a bell will chime when the session is finished but there is no sounds to alert you when you finish.
Response from developer
Thanks for using Pause. We recommend to always using earphones to get the best experience out of Pause. Or please make sure the phone is not in silent mode. If the issue still persist, please write us an email at help@pauseable.com. We look forward to supporting you.
The one I keep coming back to
I’ve tried my fair share of similar apps. Pause is the one I use consistently. Thank you.
Pretty cool
I like this app a lot. I think it pretty much does what is intended. If you really listen and try to be mindful. Good app
Full Screen is great!
Always enjoyed the app and now with the full screen it’s even better. Thank you for taking the time and effort to update Pause!
