It stops on a loading state. That’s a real shame. ### 3/5 — Internet needed *2025-11-09* Useless if you’re not having access to the internet. No data or or exercises available when you need to use the app offline. Even the paid full version isn’t not working offline. Therefore I am not sure if I am going to renew my subscription ### 2/5 — Where is English Language? *2024-06-19* How can I change language? I don’t know Spanish language ### 3/5 — can't restore purchases on Mac with M series chips *2024-02-08* You are able to download the iPad version to your Mac, but there isn't a way to restore purchases. It keeps crashing. ### 4/5 — Super App mit Bug *2024-01-12* Ich nutze die App schon lange, aber seit einem halben Jahr ist die Animation verschwunden und ich kann nur noch auf den Text gucken, was ich machen muss. Das ist schade und ich werde mir wohl eine andere App suchen, bei der das funktioniert. ### 4/5 — Schönste App & sehr hilfreich! *2023-12-21* Ich liebe die App, wunderschöne Grafik, simpel und übersichtlich. Leider zeigt es nur bei meinem Handy, die Grafiken zum mit atmen, seit einiger Zeit nicht mehr an. (iPhone 14 Mini iOS 17.1.2) Es wäre super, wenn der Fehler behoben werden würde. So ist das Erlebnis nur halb so schön. Danke! ### 3/5 — Modificar errores *2022-12-10, version 4.6.2* Los ejercicios básicos no funcionan ### 4/5 — Beautiful *2022-11-02* Really nice app, but I do miss the possibilities to adjust/customize or create breathing pattern e.g. adjust 4-4 pattern to 5-5 seconds. Please provide in next updates… thanks. 😊 ### 3/5 — Nice design but *2022-10-29, version 4.6.2* No support for background playback despite more than a year-old feature request. That should be quite an obvious thing to add. Strange that developers completely ignore this evident request for such a long time. It looks like they don't use the app themselves, which undermines the usefulness of the app. ### 3/5 — Bien *2022-08-07* L’application a un prix totalement abordable ce qui est appréciable. En revanche ! Je paierais uniquement si le Français est disponible. ### 4/5 — Very pretty *2022-05-11, version 4.6* It’s a lovely breathing app, with pretty aesthetics (visual and auditory). Any chance you can develop a version for Apple Watch, it would be a wonderful addition? ### 2/5 — Update pending? *2021-12-19* I put this promising app aside ages ago & now after reading Most Critical & know why! Too many bugs as is…. For an app so vital in this age of stress & the pandemic where it would be in great demand a change in paying options might get better results?! The Critical comments make a good list of improvements! BTW-more stars to be added if the price issue is solved?!🤞🏻Please upgrade & Stay Safe & Seasons Greetings. ### 2/5 — Ich will kein Abo! *2021-12-10* In der Beschreibung steht, dass man eine Einmalzahlung leisten kann. Das möchte ich bitte. Aber ich schließe kein Abo ab. Ermöglicht das oder ich lösche die App wieder. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Abandoned App! *2026-04-14* Do not purchase! This App has been abandoned and can not reach its media servers. Developer does not react to inquiries and Apple does not refund purchases. Beware! ### 1/5 — Estafa *2026-01-09, version 4.6.3* Esta App es una estafa total, No funciona en dispositivos Apple, una mala experiencia, no la compren porque ellos no te dan reembolsos. ### 1/5 — Beware! Do not purchase! *2025-10-24* I paid for this app but I wasn’t able to load the meditations. It seems the app is abandoned. Will ask for a refund. Refund was denied by Apple. Developer does not respond on website. Content never loads. This app is not functional. Do not purchase! ### 1/5 — The actual meditations don’t load *2025-10-22* I paid for this app but I wasn’t able to load the meditations. It seems the app is abandoned. Will ask for a refund. ### 1/5 — Décevant pas en français *2022-07-16* Il faut que ce soit en français On devrait interdir toutes les applications qui ne propose pas cette langue sur l’Apple store français !! ### 1/5 — Locked exercises now *2022-05-12* Before the in-apps i had the app exercises without lock. And now almost everything is locked. ### 1/5 — Mala *2022-03-14, version 4.6* Ejercicios extremadamente básicos, no trabajas la concentración. No vale la pena, pagué solo un mes de 49.00 mxn y son los peores gastados. Si lo que quieres es hacer un ejercicio de respiración mientras la escuchas decirte palabras “de aliento” y que “busques tu calma interior” descárgala. Mejores meditaciones hasta en youtube. Perfecta app para la gente que quiere meditar sin sentido. ### 1/5 — Pessima, sconsiglio *2021-07-24, version 4.1* Dopo l’ultimo aggiornamento sono sparite le istruzioni per i vari tipi di respirazione e sopratutto il timer non funziona più (si resetta sempre su 1 minuto ed è impossibile impostare una durata maggiore). Mi chiedo se al prossimo aggiornamento magari risolveranno il bug, ma troverò anch’io la sgradita sorpresa di altri utenti di dover (ri)pagare gli “acquisti in app” per sbloccarla (dopo averla già acquistata in passato!) ### 1/5 — There is a bug in timer *2021-06-12* So it couldn’t be fixed? ### 1/5 — Chinese version is terrible *2021-03-18* Change the translation or Change back to English version Chinese cannot understand your Chinese **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! It's back to english now! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Almost perfect. Needs volume settings *2024-12-15* Would be perfect if it had volume settings. For example id like to adjust the background sound louder and the women's voice lower. The breathe in, hold, voice is too loud and covers the relaxing noises 5 stars because its not subscription. Its one time pay. Screw subscription ### 5/5 — Definitivamente lo recomiendo! *2024-05-21, version 4.6.3* Me ayuda a relajarme y concentrarme a través de ejercicios de respiración profunda y meditaciones. Me siento más tranquilo y enfocado después de cada sesión. ### 5/5 — Simple and effective *2024-03-17* Отличное приложение с набором тематических паттернов дыхания и медитаций. Хорошо подходит для ежедневного использования. ### 5/5 — Perfekte Meditationsapp!! *2023-02-21* Es gibt wohl kaum etwas Besseres! Es wirkt Anfangs etwas „Wenig“ Allerdings fokusiert sich die App auf die individuelle Reise die jeder für sich selbst Erlebt. Mit wenig Ablenkung und genau dem richtigen Tool für „Mindfullness“ und dem verarbeiten von Blockaden ist das hier eine unfassbar gute App! Besser als alle die Ich bisher getestet habe. Es gibt viele kostenlose und auch teurere Apps die nicht richtig funktionieren oder kein rundes Erlebnis bieten. Der Preis für diese hier (Fulltime Purchase:18,99€) ist lächerlich gering im Vergleich zu der Leistung die sie bietet! Vielen Dank dafür. ### 5/5 — Useful and nourishing *2022-10-17, version 4.6.2* Nos encanta la app. Tenemos un año o poco más usándola mis hijos y yo. Realmente no tenía una guía clara de cómo enseñarle a mis hijos las respiraciones hasta que con breathe in pudimos, al punto que la piden para antes de dormir algunas veces. Es muy útil y nos nutre muchísimo el cuerpo y el alma. La recomiendo al 100%. Gracias. ### 5/5 — 有中文版么 *2022-03-29* 如题 ### 5/5 — Hola *2022-03-02, version 4.6* No aparece la opción de pago único ### 5/5 — Love it *2021-11-01, version 4.5* Efficient and effective meditations intelligently targeted to address the specific inner state one needs to address. I’m an experienced meditator but this app offers something different that I can use anytime right when I need it. ### 5/5 — Meditaciones sencillas, poderosas y efectivas *2021-10-28, version 4.5* Amo Breathe In, mucho más de lo que esperaba. Meditaciones perfectas y amorosamente guiadas con un efecto inmediato en el bienestar y en el disfrute del día a día. ### 5/5 — Funciona!! *2021-10-12, version 4.4* Estoy pasando por un periodo muy fuerte de estrés y ansiedad por la universidad, las meditaciones de esta app me calman mucho!! Y si es una diferencia, solamente tienes que concentrarte en la voz y en tu respiración 😊 Mucha suerte y recuerda que no eres la/el unicx que está pasando por esto ❤️ --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
