Atem Training *2025-02-26* Eine wirklich sehr gute ergonomisch optimal gestaltete App mit einem wirklich durchdachten Konzept nach wissenschaftlichen Kriterien. Der Preis ist wohl der Spiegel der Wertigkeit und des wissenschaftlichen Hintergrunds. Die App ist empfehlenswert **Developer response:** Danke, dass Sie unsere harte Arbeit zu schätzen wissen. Ich hoffe, Sie profitieren weiterhin von der App. ### 3/5 — 所有需要下载的都下载不下来，卡在下载界面，只要一切换马上就没有了 *2024-04-24* 下载不了 ### 5/5 — Really enjoying this app (asthma) *2024-03-30* This app has gotten my lungs to retain more oxygen **Developer response:** Thank you, absolutely fantastic to see you benefit from the app and help you with your Asthma. Let me know if we can be of any further assistance. ### 5/5 — Tiptop *2024-03-23* Top ### 5/5 — Excellent customer service! *2024-03-22* Prompt response! Thank you! ### 5/5 — It’s good *2024-03-20* I’ve only been using this app for a week but so far so good…a decent range of breath-based meditations along with HRV tracking. You can pay for a three month subscription or get a lifetime membership for free! Not sure what’s going on there but the free thing is working, I’ve yet to find features that are locked to me. The navigation is a little clunky in places, and the ability to tailor it is limited, but that’s no big deal to me. **Developer response:** Hi, thanks for the encouraging words. That was an offer for 2 days where you got lucky! Do write to us at mindbreath19@icloud.com to share what you'll like to improve. ### 3/5 — Screen lock stops the music *2024-03-19* Excellent app except for the fact that the playback/breathing music stops when the phone locks. Please add this so that the music continues to play even if the screen is locked. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Total scam and waste of time *2025-07-21* This app falsely advertised a 7-day free trial, yet I was charged $40 for a full year the moment I signed up for the trial. I disputed it with Apple and was shockingly denied a refund. To make matters worse, the app is nowhere near worth the price (which I would gladly use if it were given that I’ve now paid $40 for it!) — it offers maybe a dozen basic and boring sessions and brings absolutely nothing new to the table. It’s essentially an alleged breathwork app that appears to have been designed in 1981. It’s nothing more than timed music pretending to be breathwork. I feel misled, ripped off, and completely disappointed! ### 1/5 — Had to resubscribe after update *2025-07-12* I was enjoying Mindbreath. It was part of my morning routine. I use the app to measure my HRV. But the measurement stopped working after the latest update. To get the measurement to work again I had to resubcribe and pay again. Is this the plan? Every time you upgrade, are we going to have to buy a new subscription? ### 1/5 — 进不去 *2025-05-25* 闪退 ### 1/5 — Sound doesn’t work *2025-03-20* Very excited about this app - worked for the 1st week then the sound stopped working which renders it absolutely useless unless you sit there staring at your phone the whole time. Logged out and in, deleted and restored….nothing worked to fix it. So disappointed. DO NOT RECOMMEND **Developer response:** Hi, can you connect at mindbreathios@gmail.com to explain how it stops, we will solve it. ### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht *2024-11-06* Trotz aktivem Abo sind bestimmte Inhalte nicht freigeschaltet Kontaktaufnahme wird ignoriert Messergebnisse bleiben offen, da angeblich die Datenqualität nicht ausreichend sei Ansonsten eine Abo-Falle, dh keine (auch nicht anteilige )Rückerstattung nach Kündigung **Developer response:** Hallo, bitte schreiben Sie uns an mindbreath19@icloud.com. Alle Inhalte sollten verfügbar sein. Bitte senden Sie uns eine E-Mail, um mitzuteilen, was nicht verfügbar ist. Was die Messungen betrifft, so haben wir strenge Standards, um Daten von geringer Qualität nicht zuzulassen – schreiben Sie uns, und wir helfen Ihnen, qualitativ hochwertige Messungen vorzunehmen. ### 1/5 — 登录成功不跳转页面 *2024-08-11* 登录不跳转，每次都要登录，无法下载 ### 1/5 — Idioma Español *2024-05-31, version 2.5.2* Please put it in Spanish. ### 1/5 — Español por favor *2024-05-21, version 2.4.9* ¿Para cuando vais a implementar el lenguaje en español? ### 1/5 — Why do I have to log in? Is it so they can track me? *2024-03-24* Can’t use without login with an account. Privacy isn’t good, they collect too much data linked to the customer. Why do they need this data? Why do you need my location? **Developer response:** Hi, the reason to log is that if you change your phone, your data can still be accessed. We had many users not log-in when log-in was optional only to regret loosing their data later. We have no use of your data as it is frankly worthless to a small entity like us, only large players who know what to do with it and have business model around it, they profit. ### 1/5 — 没办法登陆啊 用都用不了 *2024-03-19* 无法登陆 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Just right! *2026-04-30* This app is just what I was looking for and performs better than I had hoped. Lots of places to explore. I have been through the grinder lately and testing myself before, during, and after the various practices it prescribes has been very informative. I feel more confident knowing I can nudge my energy levels back toward healthy so easily. Update: I have added some HRV monitors to my therapy and they show just how helpful these exercises are. The variety of choices and calming presentation keep me coming back. **Developer response:** Thanks, glad to see you're able to use the app to get back your energy levels! ### 5/5 — Great App *2025-05-07, version 2.7.0* It relaxes me and lets me know stress info.

I use the almost daily to monitor trend info. Support is great too.

Sie ist intuitiv und einfach zu bedienen. Sie hat mir geholfen, meine Atmung zu verbessern und meinen Stress zu reduzieren. Absolut empfehlenswert ### 5/5 — Effektive atemübungen und HRV messung *2024-05-31* Diese App bietet eine Vielzahl von Atemübungen, die sehr wirkungsvoll sind.
