Put everything behind a paywall

Unfortunately this App sold out and put all features behind a way too expensive for the function paywall… it’s a real shame

This app lowered my blood pressure

Couldnt live with out this app , great for lowering blood pressure

Best Breathing App

This app has everything I want in a breathing app. It has a simple design that gives simple visual cues as well as haptics if you want to have your eyes closed. I like that you can totally customize the inhale/exhale/hold ratios to make it work for you. This makes it so that the guided paced breathing works whether you’re an über athlete, a smoker, or anything else. Plus there’s no monthly fee or ads. I’m a psychotherapist and I use this myself as well as recommended to my clients.

Wonderful Way to Relax

Setting a rhythm and time that’s suitable for me, listening to the sound of water guiding my breathing in and breathing out brings me to a place where stress is relieved. Sometimes I even fall asleep and have the most peaceful rest.

Perfect app- lovely

Though retired and on a tight budget I adore the app that allows us to use it and benefit from it daily for free- while offering more for those able to pay. Such a simple app it is easy to use it daily as I have done for years now. Thank you!

Relief

Sometimes I get “hot flashes” and this cool air relaxes and cools me!

I love this app, use nearly daily

Broken

Only works half of the time. Sometimes it runs without a hitch, and other times it freezes, lags, or quits. It seems to get worse with every iOS update.

気分転換できます

呼吸を整えたいときや瞑想したい時にメトロノームがわりにつかっています。使い勝手が良いです。色々設定出来ますが私はボックス法しか使っていません。

Very elegant design

Very simple, beautiful and effective. Exactly what I was looking for in a (box breathing) app. I like the color variety and the ability to set the prompts to vibrate because I often hold my phone in my hand while breathing. No noise. No distractions. No counting in my head. Reminders and stats are a plus. But the real treasure is its simplicity. This app lives on my home screen and I use it many times a day.

I updated my review to three stars for a few reasons: there is only one option for sound and that one option has crackling in the audio no matter how high the volume is. It’s not a very pleasant sound at all and can’t be customized. Also, the stats feature is lacking in many areas. It’s basically a bare bones feature. I would like to see some future development on this but I won’t hold my breath.

Updated review again in 2026, this time to 5 stars; dev has made improvements.

Finally, an Apple Watch companion. Apple’s own breathe app can’t be set up to do box breathing.

Love it!

I love the choices of sounds and colors. The choices of how long are extremely helpful. I can decide what I need. My doctor recommended the 4-7-8 breathing for the morning and before bed to help me focus and relax. It definitely works!

Great app

Use it daily

사운드

호흡과 멈춤 소리가 직관적으로 딱 느껴지면 좋겠는데 애매합니다. 눈을 감고 하는 경우엔 더더욱 헷살려요.

Very basic app, not worth the subscription fee

I used to use another app, which had very defined breathing patterns. The only thing you could change was the timer for the pattern. This one allows you to modify the length of inhale, hold, and exhale, which is nice, and made me think that it might be worth keeping. The main reason I decided against it is that I like to breathe with my eyes closed, and the music they used to indicate inhale versus exhale doesn’t clearly indicate to me when to switch.
