### 5/5 — Perfect for Daily Relaxation

*2026-03-28*

I use the app to do some breathing exercises and meditation besides my stressfull life and it is easy to implement and helps a lot. After the exercises I feel much more energetic and more concentrated to tackle my work!

### 5/5 — Simple & Reliable

*2022-02-21, version 3.2.6*

I love this easy to use app. With the right type of sounds to enter an exit my meditation. Could be happier.

### 4/5 — Easy to use

*2021-06-08*

I’ve used this app a handful of times so far. I’ve found it easy to use, and helpful with meditation practice. It includes a few different sounds you can play in the background while you meditate, like rain and wind and others. There are also premium features that cost money. If you’ve taken some classes on meditation, I recommend this app to you. If you don’t have any meditation training I’d try some guided meditations first. Good luck with your practice.

### 5/5 — Kostenlose Version Review

*2021-05-30*

Die Kostenlose Version beinhaltet 5 Geräusche: Regen, Wind, Stille, Morgen und Frösche.
Die Version mit allen Funktionen kostet im Jahresabo pro Monat 2,50 €.
Damit kriegst Du Musik, zu Der Du meditieren kannst. 
Wenn Du in Stille meditieren, Deine Meditationszeit beobachten und ab und zu von einem Gong erinnert werden möchtest, dann reicht die kostenlose Version.

### 5/5 — Gut für ungeführte Meditationen

*2021-02-18*

Ich habe die App getestet und sie tut was sie soll und verspricht: Geleitet mich in und aus der Meditation durch einen Hinweiston.
Was ich verwirrend fand war, dass die App sich grün präsentiert, jedoch die Webseite ganz blau ist und auch die Screenshots der App blau sind. Ich dachte erst ich wäre falsch. Aber da das Logo das gleiche ist konnte ich die beiden miteinander in Verbindung bringen. Würde ich miteinander optisch in Einklang bringen, wenn ich der Entwickler der App wäre.

### 5/5 — Takes care of the time.

*2020-05-27*

I hunted for an app without complicated frills. I wanted to be able to set my meditation time to 20 mins and have a gentle sound to indicate completion. This is exactly that!

### 5/5 — Excellent enabler

*2020-04-13, version 3.2.6*

Found this app and I am delighted. It has really helped me to achieve meditation and a sense of peace in difficult times. I really rate this and look forward to continued use.

### 5/5 — Das Wichtige gut umgesetzt

*2020-01-31*

Ich nutze seit einigen Wochen die kostenlose Version der App und finde sie sehr gut gemacht: Sie hat alle wichtigen Funktionen (Timer mit frei wählbarer Dauer und Intervalltönen, Hintergrundmusik ja/nein, Speichern von Einstellungen) und bisschen Statistik (wie oft, wie lange meditiert). Das Ganze umgesetzt in schlichtem, gut bedienbarem Design. Also: alles da, kein Schnickschnack - super!

### 5/5 — So Easy to Use

*2020-01-23, version 3.2.5*

Such an easy to use App. Makes it really easy to track your meditation. Love the gongs to keep me on track. Seems simple...but the best meditation app around

### 5/5 — Reicht vollkommen

*2020-01-22*

Beim Meditieren geht es mir um Einfachheit. Ich habe bereits eine andere (nach 2 Wochen kostenpflichtige) Meditationsapp probiert, wo es viele Themen zur Auswahl gibt. Wer das aber nicht braucht weil er seine Themen zum Meditieren kennt oder aber einfach nur den Kopf annähernd in einen „leeren“ Zustand bringen  möchte, für den finde ich die App genau richtig. Mehr braucht es nicht.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 3.7.2 — 2026-08-22

This update fixes a sign-in bug: opening the app without an internet connection — in airplane mode, for example — signed you out and made you log in again. You now stay reliably signed in, even offline. The sessions overview also shows the total time for the week, month and year again - alongside the average. Plus small improvements under the hood.

### 3.7.1 — 2026-08-18

This update makes the bells dependable. Interval and ending bells now ring reliably — even with the screen locked. If a call, the alarm or Siri interrupts your session, it finds its way back on its own: the background sound resumes, and the ending bell still arrives. The screen now stays reliably on during a running session, and the Dynamic Island shows the remaining time compactly. Plus many small improvements under the hood.

### 3.7 — 2026-08-14

Your running meditation now appears on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. The Profile tab has become the Activity tab: with a weekly goal, a weekly streak and a combined view of sessions, minutes and mood — swipe through the bar chart, tap a bar for details. You can now record your mood after breathing exercises and guided meditations too. Apple Health receives one merged entry per session, and later corrections carry over. Plus many refinements: extra time is counted even in the background, session durations are exact to the second, and nothing gets lost.

### 3.5.5 — 2026-05-04

General improvements and bug fixes.

### 3.5.4 — 2026-04-29

Breathe now speaks 19 languages.

What's new:
- 16 new languages — including French, Italian, Polish, Japanese, Korean, Turkish, and Traditional Chinese
- Sessions sync more reliably
- Small improvements and bug fixes
