## What is breathesimple?

breathesimple is your clinically proven, personal breathing trainer that will improve breathing related conditions such as sleep apnea, snoring, stress, and asthma. Just a few minutes each day will help you reprogram your breathing, using simple breathing techniques, to improve your quality of life and get a good night’s sleep.

Up to 80% of adults have bad breathing habits. These affect key functions in our body and may lead to disturbed sleep, sleep apnea, snoring, poor health, and reduced quality of life for both the sufferer and their partner. Daily breath training retrains your brain to remove these bad breathing habits, which in turn will help you sleep better, feel more alert and have more energy to live a more fulfilling life.

The Breathing Basics course is completely free and will teach you the fundamental techniques of good breathing. As part of this course your current breathing behavior will be measured and at the end of the 4-day course you will get a free report comparing your breathing to what is expected. If your breathing could benefit from more training, you can subscribe to a personalized course designed to address the areas needing most attention.

Your personalized course will guide you through daily training sessions to reprogram your breathing. After about 20 days you will notice significant improvement in your sleeping pattern, reducing conditions such as sleep apnea and snoring, as well as improving yours and your partner's quality of life. 

WHAT THIS BREATH TRAINING APP DOES
breathesimple teaches you how to breathe properly. Breathing correctly not only improves sleeping conditions such as sleep apnea and snoring to improve sleep quality but can also have huge benefits to our general health and wellbeing.

The breathesimple training exercises are clinically proven to reprogram your brain and how it automatically controls your breathing, 24 hours a day even when you are asleep. While you are awake, good breathing behavior makes us more able to control stress as well as feeling more energized. Good breathing also has benefits for athletic performance.

### 1/5 — No useful information and excises

*2021-11-27, version 1.4.1*

I’ve used for a few weeks. The training keeps repeating the same breathe in and out for every few days. It does not give enough instructions or information. It provides a few very primitive videos for benefits of breathing properly. I wanted to get refund after two months but could not find channel to do so.

### 5/5 — Good ap

*2021-01-20, version 1.4.1*

Fascinating! How they can use the phone camera to measure my functioning!

### 5/5 — Breathesimple course

*2020-07-28, version 1.2.0*

Amazing experience. Really helped me breathe better and improved my sleep.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2019-08-09, version 1.0.21*

I work in mental health and this is a great app to recommend to clients of all ages to improve their breathing, stress levels and overall wellness. Definitely recommend to anyone looking to work on their breathe as a way to combat stress, trouble sleeping and other concerns. This app trains your brain for optimal breath and relaxation.

### 2/5 — Not there yet

*2018-03-20, version 0.2.2*

I wish I could give this app a better rating but unfortunately it has a few issues. Of the 8 times I used it ,it crashed twice. It gives some interesting metrics but they aren’t explained. You run the test 5 times then pay $2 to get a 2 paragraph report. I’m not sure why they charge you for the report because you then have to go on to pay for the breathing course. My guess is they make you pay because they get a lot of people that don’t qualify to do the course. In my case my HRV showed too much variation, so I did not qualify. This is weird because you have to spend some time monitoring HRV to establish a baseline. I ran the test twice on the same day and got a wide variation on readings. This implies to me the their algorithm has a flaw. 
Too bad, it’s a well designed app.
