Psychologist approved!
I’m a psychologist and I recommend this to so many of my clients AND I use it myself. It is helpful for so many things, any strong emotion, restlessness, insomnia, pain etc!
Thank YOU !
It’s BACK :) !! As as biofeedback therapist, Belly Biofeedback is the ONLY app that give quantifiable information about your breathing rate (goal: 4-6/bpm). Thank you for the upgrade to iOS 8 !!!! It IS the Best…...
Terrible
It keeps saying irregular breathing no matter how many times I "adjust "the phone. Then it shuts off. I have to restart it again and again it just is like a big PITA..
Won’t open on iPhone 14
Will download but won’t stay open.
Amazing!
Doesn’t matter that this app is never updated. It serves its purpose perfectly and is amazing for beginners like me who is just starting with belly bio breathing. I can’t believe how it is able to track my breathing and play music to encourage me if I’m on track. Super innovative app and totally worth the try. Did I mention it’s free?!?!

Long time BellyBio user
I’ve been using this app for years and it still holds up as one of the greatest biofeedback apps out there. People are definitely sleeping on it when they scroll by. Thank you to the developers for continuing to update it when iOS updates. You guys are awesome.
belly bio is love, belly bio is life
The. Best. App. No contest. Yeah the interface looks like a geocities website but who cares, it's part of the charm.
The app is genuinely amazing and could help so many people. There isn't another one like it. I know the same developers made Lull, but it just isn't the same.
I honestly don't know why more app developers haven't thought of this idea, but for real--it's the most helpful app I've ever downloaded.
With some little updates and tweaks, it'd be even better, but even as it is it works so well.
I'm amazed that it continues to function on newer and newer iPhones when it hasn't been updated in so long, and I'm dreading the day it can't keep up.

I love this app - sad it doesn’t seem to be actively developed
I’ve loved this app for years and years. It is simple and intuitive and rewarding. Just five minutes calms me down. 15 minutes feels like a mini-vacation.
Love this app!
This app is amazing. It gives numerous types of biofeedback based on your breathing. It really encourages calm in a world filled with chaos. I encourage anyone who wants some calm and meditation in their life to get and use this daily.
Rediscovered
Very interesting app. Was looks for apps to delete on my phone and I rediscovered this. Glad I did. Does more than my fitbit.
This is my favourite app ever
Everything about it is original yet universal, genius & yet so simple. I can’t believe it’s free! Thank you so much to the developers for making it, I love it. It’s not the best looking meditation/breathing app on the market but I don’t care, it just makes it more loveable because it’s not trying to be cool. I’ve been using it for 2 weeks and am recommending it to everyone who will listen!

Best app for relaxing!!
This app has helped me tremendously to relax before bed. I love the music and tend to fall asleep because I’m that relaxed.
Fails almost every effort
I have been unsuccessful the majority of times I’ve tried to use this.
It’s a great idea. I wish it worked.

Audio doesn’t work
Seems like a great concept, but the audio doesn’t work... no wave sounds, no music.
Great app
This is a great app. I've seen several reviews written by users who spend their entire review complaining about what the app does NOT do for them, and it's clear to me that they are unlikely be happy with anything; in fact, they are the problem and not their life or psyche.
The app works exactly as its description says it should: nor more and no less. If you're looking for instantaneous nirvana then you will (as usual) be unhappy and left complaining about how unfair life is to you. But what's new there?
If you are genuinely looking for a different perspective on an ancient idea, then this app can provide it.
The most important thing is that you practice and leave your mind open to change otherwise you'll always be spinning your wheels clouded in misery.

Not working with iOS 10.3.1
Used to work fine a couple of updates ago. No sound or colour changes with iOS 10.3.1. Please update.
My favorite app
This app is great--by far the best (free!) biofeedback/breathing app in the App Store. I've tried a number of them and always come back to this one--it's simple and very effective.
It can take a few tries to figure out the placement of the phone on your stomach and how the program works, but after that it's smooth sailing. Really nice that you don't have to hold the phone in your hand like in other biofeedback apps--it's hard to relax when you're thinking about keeping hold of something.
I really love how the waves, and then music, sync up with your breathing--so very helpful when learning how to deep breathe/meditate and I haven't seen another app that does that. It tends to keep me just aware enough that I don't fall asleep, but stay perfectly relaxed with balanced breathing.
The app has got some flaws and bugs/doesn't always work 100%, but for a free app I have no complaints. If they prettied it up, added more song tracks and fixed the bugs (or stabilized the app in general), I'd be more than happy to pay a couple bucks for this one. It would be nice to be able to look back on past log entries, but oh well--mindfulness/meditation is all about living in the present and letting go of the past anyway, right?

Geniale Biofeedback App
Ich benutze die App seit einigen Jahren. Es ist wirklich genial, wie sich aus Meeresrauschen atemsynchron eine Melodie entwickelt. Wird man unentspannt oder gestört, ist die Musik futsch und man muss von vorne beginnen. Geniales Entspannungstraining. Ich bin eine ausgebildete Biofeedback-Therapeutin und kann diese App nur wärmstens empfehlen.

Wonderful app
Is really helpful for focusing meditation/mindfulness.
Doesn't work
This is ridiculous and doesn't work. The amount of effort it takes to get the positioning right cancels out any tranquility this app would actually provide.
