Apple Watch app improvements

User reviews

Love this app ! even more so now that I can use it on my watch

I really like the simplicity of this app (effectively helps you stay on track with breathing pace ) and that it’s always been possible to choose from different breath-work types (as everyone is different and one type of breath-work doesn’t necessarily work for everyone or every situation.)

I personally am finding the 7-11 calming waves to be my “go to” ‘personal reset button’ for activating my parasympathetic nervous system.

In the past I used 4-7-8 fairly regularly for sleep if the cortisol kicked in too high in the middle of the night.

It is so nice to be able to do guided breathing on the watch now and not always have to pick up a phone which can otherwise distract and dysregulate.

BIG UPs to the developer who has takes onboard users feedback and continuously improves the offering
