### 5/5 — Best app

*2022-05-24, version 1.1*

I use the app at school when I’m having a panic attack (I have many a week) and when I feel one coming I just open the app. So easy, love this app. Really relaxing and I love how it tells you your heart rate. 11/10 rating.

### 1/5 — Kept me breathing normal

*2022-04-16, version 1.1*

I do not breath normal and it has caused health problems this was one of the reasons I purchased an iWatch. 

What was the logic in removing this app?

The similar apps do not even come close to the simplicity of this app.

Disappointed Apple
