Simple, beautiful design and color schemes. Wish there were more options for sound bowls but this app blows most of them out of the water

### 5/5 — Great customization

*2025-04-02, version 3.60.1*

### 5/5 — Love this!

*2025-01-17, version 3.60.1*

This is absolutely essential to my daily box breathing habit. I don’t know what I’d do without it. Every app is a monthly payment now and I love that this one isn’t.

### 1/5 — Timer

*2025-03-07, version 3.60.1*

Timer off by several minutes.  Can’t contact support. Very disappointed

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-09-07, version 3.59.1*

App no longer seem to work on my new 13 inch ipad.

### 2/5 — Doesn’t work on airplane more

*2022-11-26, version 3.48.2*

Great app, wonderfully customizable. But for a practice that so many people choose to do out in the wilderness without service… the app doesn't even have basic functions when offline.
Which is easy to make possible

### 3/5 — Great App but

*2024-06-12, version 3.60.1*

The Restore Purchase Feature does not seem to function, quite frustrating.

### 4/5 — Mình cần được tư vấn trước khi mua

*2026-04-17, version 3.61.4*

Hãy liên hệ mình nhé

### 4/5 — Very relaxing, but more stuff for people who are not members

*2025-07-17, version 3.60.1*

All the breathing techniques are very relaxing, but please add more free stuff for people who are not members😊

### 4/5 — Schöne, kostenlose App

*2024-12-17, version 3.60.1*

Ich habe schon viele Atmungs-Apps getestet. Diese gefällt mir v.A. gut, weil sie bzgl der Dauer der Atemphase n frei konfigurierbar ist. 

Was ich mir wünschen würde: Während des Einatmens spielt ein energetisierender Sound. Beim „Hold“ ist Stille. Während des Ausatmens ein „loslassender“ Sound. Beim „Hold“ wieder Stille. (Andere Apps haben das ähnlich umgesetzt) Geht das nicht, wären unterschiedliche Sounds, an denen ich den Übergang zu einer anderen Phase erkennen kann, schon mal ein erster Schritt. 

Sonst muss ich die ganze Zeit auf einen Bildschirm starren, während ich mich eigentlich mit geschlossenen Augen ganz auf die Atmung fokussieren will. 

Außerdem wäre es gut, optisch sehen zu können, wie lange die Hold-Phase noch andauert.

Danke für die schöne App!

### 4/5 — Super

*2024-05-13, version 3.60.1*

Super App, die einen durch die verschiedensten Atemtechniken begleitet. Einen Stern Abzug gibt es für die fehlende Möglichkeit sie mit der Applewatch zu nutzen.

### 4/5 — Useful, simple, but needs full customization options

*2024-03-25*

I like everything so far, the ease of use, just jump right in and the flower visualization is my favorite for breathing exercises. My only issue is that I can’t change anything about the creepy idol image that slowly zooms in during the meditation timer session. I should be able to change it to a flower or a moon or something else, just like with the breathing exercises. Please implement this kind of change!
The sounds are good, though. Thanks!

### 4/5 — Love this app

*2023-10-05, version 3.60.1*

Very calming and relaxing.

### 5/5 — You are a legend

*2025-11-24, version 3.61.2*

This app is awesome. Simple easy to use and has got me through a lot. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Tuyệt vòi

*2025-11-04, version 3.60.1*

Ứng dụng free quá tuyệt vời

### 5/5 — Intuitive Bedienung.

*2025-10-31, version 3.60.1*

Ich nutze die App seit kurzem und bin begeistert. Die Nutzung ist intuitiv, und das Design gefällt mir. Einzig bei der Anlage benutzerdefinierter Techniken fehlen mir noch ein paar zusätzliche Optionen (um z.B die Atemtechnik nach Wim Hof erstellen zu können). Hier wäre es toll, wenn man weitere Zyklen/Runden einstellen könnte…

### 5/5 — Simple, works & ad free

*2025-10-06, version 3.60.1*

I really like how customisable this is, and (best of all) not being bombarded by constant ads or in-app purchases. I have recommended it to clients to help them practice their coherent breathing.

### 5/5 — Goed

*2025-10-01, version 3.60.1*

De app werkt goed en helpt bij het ademhalen

### 5/5 — Works perfectly

*2025-09-18, version 3.60.1*

Minimalist UI. Many customisation options. Works seamlessly.
