Magical and effective

This app is genius! Especially due to its simplicity and lack of intrusive instructions to users. So brilliant and so effective. Highly recommended:-)

Support iPhone X?

This is a wonderfully simple app that makes you relax. It would be great if it could fill the screen of the iPhone X.

Helps Anxiety Attacks

I find this helping as a grounding method before/during anxiety attacks because it forces me to focus on moving my finger with the dot in a precise fashion, so it changes my minds focus.

Great app but lacking iPhoneX support!

Provide iphoneX compatibility please!

That is the idea
When it covers your whole screen you close your eyes until you fall asleep and let go of your device
Then it finishes👍

What

Did I seriously just pay $3 to move my finger across the screen ‘slowly’. There’s literally nothing else to it

Support for iPhone X screen?

Good app but looks rubbish on this screen now. When will it be updated?

Sends me to sleep every time

I use this app on nights when I can’t switch my eyes and brain off. It works magic to relax my head and being heaviness to my eyelids. Many times I have been so relaxed I have dropped my phone on my face.

Good, short and gives results.

Like rubbing a smooth stone

Wonderful and mindful moment of clarity. Starts off with a lava-lamp looking blob that you move around the screen, then as you get the hang of it the blob fills the screen and you close your eyes to relax. Really great. Nice to destress for 3-5 minutes when things get overwhelming.

As of this writing (Jan 25, 2018), the app has not been updated for iPhone X. Still functions, but it isn’t the full screen. Hopefully they will update it soon!?

Good app, dated on a couple fronts

I find the app really lovely. The initial blob is not something you’re following so much as something you’re leading. The aggregating color helps bring my focus to the session.

Once the screen was filled with color, I began exploring the colors. The first time it filled with a gradient from blue to green to gold to orange from bottom to top. I found myself exploring these gradients and the way the direction of my motion changed my perception of them and how my finger obscuring parts of the gradient would make different colors stand out. This was all surprisingly engaging.

That said, there are a few things this app really needs to rise to the next level for me:

1) Some sort of audio or haptic feedback for when you’re moving too fast. It instructs you to close your eyes and then puts feedback on screen in text. :\
2) Update to support the full screen of iPhone X. Seeing black bars is distracting and using the full screen of the X would make the experience much more immersive.
3) An Apple Watch app. This would be a great place to offer feedback while the user’s eyes are closed.
4) Siri support to start a new session without needing to locate the app.
