Expensive piece of plastic and basic app

The Breather is very expensive for what you get and if you buy the basic model (which is still $60), you can’t get the adapter that allows you to use the gaming feature. You also can’t just use the app when you want to. If you miss the morning training you can’t pick up on the evening training. If you’re going to charge me that much for a piece of plastic, at least allow the autonomy to use the features without jumping through a bunch of hoops. I’m about ready to dump it off for a basic incentive breather.

annoying app

why can’t i go backwards a day? it’s 12 am and trying to do my exercise for the day it was 5 minutes ago and it won’t let me. idiotic

Worth it.

I bought a breathe fit a while ago but didn’t start using it until recently. I can say it’s very quickly improved my endurance and well worth a few minutes a day to get such good results. There are some other really good breath work exercises in the app that you do separately that I have also found really useful too.

Mediocre App

Expected more from the manufacturer of The Breather device. There are apps that easier and simpler to use than Breather Coach.

Response from developer

Hi Juliet, Good morning. Thank you for sharing your honest feedback. We truly appreciate you taking the time to let us know about your experience. We are sorry to hear that Breather Coach did not meet your expectations. Feedback like yours helps guide our improvements, and we are actively working on enhancements to make the app more user friendly and valuable for our users. If there are specific features or difficulties you encountered, we would welcome the opportunity to learn more. Thank you again for your input and for giving Breather Coach a try.

Needs tweaking

The app is OK for timing the inhale/exhale but it would be. I’ve to have an audible “heads up” when it’s about to begin. I’m not going to sit and stare at my phone waiting for the next reps to start. Also, an audible running count of how many reps would be super helpful.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. We agree that having an audible “heads up” and a running rep count would make the experience more convenient. We’ll coordinate with our developers to see how we can include these improvements in future updates. Your input is greatly appreciated. The Breather Coach Team

No notifications!!

Was excited to start training with my new device… then discovered the app doesn’t work. Set up the notifications and not one time have they worked. Very disappointing. Having a $50 plastic device with an app that doesn’t work is a complete waste. Avoid!!

Response from developer

Hi Vivian, Good morning. Thank you for your honest feedback, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this has caused. Could you please check your in-app (Breather Coach) and phone notification settings to ensure they are enabled? If the issue persists, you may reach us at (877) 414-4449 or breathercoach@pnmedical.com for further assistance.

Could be better

The breather device itself is very helpful. The app could use some improvements though.
Pros: keeps track of reps, and the AI voice is pleasant.
Cons: can’t reset the settings such as a break in between reps. Once you choose a plan, you are stuck with whatever settings you first chose. Even if you try to cancel that plan and choose it again to get to a menu to select other settings, the app takes you back to the plan/settings you first chose…even though you need to change those settings. The app needs to be more user friendly.

Decent App

I feel like the app is a helpful add-on to the tool. I didn’t have access to the old one like a lot of people did, but I like it a lot so far and find that it helps me stay on track with a schedule. Being able to go along with a tool is helpful as well.

Timeline

6/26/25 update: AVOID THIS PRODUCT/APP. The Breather Voice I got is defective within 15 days of use. 3/6 of resistance settings are broken on one side. Have emailed the company 5 times, and submit requests through website. Nobody responds.

This product would really take off if it had the ability for you to choose which exercises to do, and when life happens and you skip an exercise, you’re able to go back. Right now the app is a one because it is an afterthought and it seems the developers are not on payroll to make any changes. It would be greatly helpful to be able to choose exercise exercises on the fly and access a strength training program, simultaneously with the endurance program. We as consumers want that option.

No customer support at all

I have not been able to get any Bluetooth devices to work with this app. Unfortunately I have wasted my money.
I contacted them many many times…worthless

No default training plan

The only 3 options are for elite athletes not according to the default instructions of being "In The Zone" Terrible setup with no ability to customize or change an existing plans settings for target difficulty. Disappointing, needs improvement.

Response from developer

Hi there, Good afternoon, and thank you so much for your feedback. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience. While there are only three default training programs, please know that you can fully customize them to suit your needs. This includes adjusting the number of sets and reps, as well as modifying the duration of your inhale, exhale, and pause for each plan. If you need any assistance with making these changes, we're happy to help!

Does not work with Breather Voice

When first starting the app and choosing breather voice plan. It keeps asking to pair breather x and has no option to bypass. This app is unusable. Please fix.

Response from developer

Hello, Good morning. Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your interest in our devices. The BreatherX adapter is currently being developed. We look forward to its release and will share more information with you as soon as it becomes available. In the Breather Coach app, please go to the Profile Tab, select Breather X, and then choose "no". This will prevent any confusion during your training sessions.

Appears to only work with Bluetooth devices

I have not been able to get any Bluetooth devices to work with this app. Unfortunately I can’t use it without a device. Would much rather just have it go through phone speaker.
I contacted them but no reply … worthless

Frustrating

Please spend some time to fix this app. It is difficult to keep on track with the Breather device when the app can’t find your data, repeatedly.

Generally good

Working with this app and the basic breather worked well. However, upgrading to the Breather Fit hasn't been smooth.
The app seems to lack the ability to change your device and its new training program. Calls and emails to the company have gone unanswered.

A decent timer

The timer function works good but when you are within range it will not let you record it. It feels like the update is very buggy. Most functions don't work.

Down for months

I miss using my breather. The app has been down for months. It’s just a timer so I’ll find something else it’s just weird.

Disappointed of the Age Restriction

I bought the Breather Voice for my daughter who has Vocal Cord Dysfunction (VCD). I gifted it to her early for Christmas because basketball season has already started and she needs to try and train her and strengthen her laryngeals and breathing. After gifting her the device, she can’t download this app!!! Y’all need to fix the age restriction ASAP!!! I didn’t purchase her Breather for her to not be able to use it with the app. She’s 15. The device is for ages 8-98. Why is the app for 17+???? It’s ridiculous. I feel like I should have spent the extra money and got the airofit pro that’s app allows users ages 4+. May very well send back the device for a refund and go that route anyway.
