User reviews

Previous version was better

While the app has been updated, it lost some functionality. For example, I used to be able to set the inhale/exhale times to 12 seconds. Now it limits you to nine seconds. For people who have strong breathing practices, this is a real limit.

Ruined by App Update

I used to use this app daily- I would say it was the best of its category, but now it is unusable. It will go to lock screen by your third breath.

Disappointed in latest version

The music is so loud I can’t hear the voice instruction and I miss the large side metronome. Why so many changes at once? I am a Speech Therapist and have many disappointed clients. Please go back to the original version, I am begging you!

monotonous

There is no choice if voice. She says the very same things over and over again. There is no progression to a higher/different stage when you press “proceed.” To what am I proceeding?

Breath of Life

Great app and it does works for reminding me to remain breathing and to relax
