### 3/5 — Pretty Cool

*2018-10-29, version 1.3*

I think it would be cool to have more of a musical representation of when to breath, hold, or exhale. Something more meditative.

### 4/5 — Good app

*2017-11-05, version 1.0*

Would be better with a voice count

**Developer response:** Hey,

in version 1.1 voice sound was added. Give it a try and let me now if you like it.
