### 4/5 — Respiration

*2026-03-02*

J’aimerai qu’il y ait un top sonore à chaque inspiration et expiration pour éviter de regarder l’écran

### 3/5 — Trop basique

*2025-11-03*

Hyper minimaliste. Aucun réglage possible ni option. Nous incite à prendre la version payante à chaque fermeture.

### 2/5 — Incohérence entre le rythme de respiration et la musique. De plus, le rythme n’a pas l’air régulier

*2025-09-25, version 1.9*

À revoir.

### 5/5 — Cohérence cardiaque

*2025-09-13, version 1.9*

Super

### 3/5 — Place à amélioration

*2025-09-05*

J’aimerais fermer les yeux pour le faire et qu’il y ait un simple son pour indiquer où on en est. Ainsi que la possibilité de choisir nos intervalles.

### 5/5 — Très bon support

*2025-02-23*

Simple et efficace

### 2/5 — Mal conçue

*2025-01-13, version 1.1*

Les musique n’est pas calée sur le mouvement. Pire, elle s’arrête et reprend une fois le cycle terminé. Une programmation qui a due être trop rapidement bâclée.

### 5/5 — Excelente app

*2025-01-12*

Gracias

**Developer response:** You're welcome

### 2/5 — Vraiment mal pensée

*2024-12-01*

Couleur de l’application est trop claire ce qui rend l’écran plus lumineux. Il faudrait que la couleur soit plus foncée pour apaiser les yeux. De plus à la fin de la session il y a une fenêtre qui s’affiche pour confirmer qu’on veux quitter. Mais si on s’est déjà endormi la  fenêtre reste ouverte et le téléphone se vide de sa batterie dans la nuit… vraiment pas l’idéal quand on est supposé avoir un réveil qui sonne le matin …

**Developer response:** Je vous invite à télécharger l'autre version de l'application "Cohérence cardiaque" qui vous permettra les réglages que vous recherchez. Bonne journée à vous

### 2/5 — Pas de réglage

*2024-07-11*

L’inspire est beaucoup trop court et l’expire trop long. C’est supposé être 5 secondes chaque.

**Developer response:** C'est réglé sur 4/6 pour un effet plus relaxant. Je vous invite à télécharger l'autre version de l'application "Cohérence cardiaque" qui vous permettra les réglages que vous recherchez. Bonne journée à vous
