Not sure why. Maybe because I’m very hard of hearing and don’t hear speaker well. I’m sure it s a good app and may try again ### 5/5 — Breathing app *2023-10-01, version 2.1.32* I had been doing a free breathing for 4 minutes, but blood pressure stayed up until I got the app and I am having more success now! ### 4/5 — Breathing exercise rocks! *2023-09-06, version 2.1.31* I enjoy the breathing exercise regularly ### 5/5 — Breathing app *2023-08-13* I had been doing a free breathing for 4 minutes, but blood pressure stayed up until I got the app and I am having more success now! **Developer response:** Dear Jan y B, Thanks a lot for your feedback! What is the one thing which you would like us to change in BreathNow to make it even more useful for you? BreathNow team ### 5/5 — Very useful app *2023-08-07, version 2.1.27* New biofeedback breathing is quite useful, though it took me some time to master it. ### 2/5 — Free version isn't that good *2023-06-27* Constant app pressure to subscribe. Apple Watch interface gets me stuck in a loop. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2023-06-22, version 2.1.22* The updated version includes breathing exercise which provides immediate feedback, simple yoga session and new meditations. All usefull stuff which helps me to relax and calm down. ### 5/5 — Helpful Wellness and Stress Management App *2023-06-22, version 2.1.22* The breathing exercises in this app work quickly to stabilize my BP and my pulse. The effect is short but onset is quick. I also like the convenient data export feature. Overall, I would recommend this app to people concerned about longevity and slowing down aging. ### 5/5 — Impressed! *2023-06-19, version 2.1.21* Interesting combination of BP tracker, stress monitor and calming exerices. Slow breathing and meditations indeed lower my blood pressure and you can see imeediate stress changes when measure heart rate and stress with the phone's camera. ### 5/5 — Satisfied customer ❤️ *2023-06-16, version 2.1.21* Very happy with the new update. It takes time to practice the Biofeedback breathing but it does calm you and brings blood pressure down. Also impressive meditations by Gene, his voice is super calming. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — It was not accurate *2026-08-18* It is not reliable at all plz don’t trust this app **Developer response:** Dear user, could you please clarify what metric of the app do you consider of not being reliable. Thanks and best regards. BreathNow team ### 1/5 — Worthless *2026-08-03, version 2.1.133* Couldn’t pair with monitor ### 1/5 — Won’t let me unsubscribe *2025-11-27, version 2.1.102* I have tried to unsubscribe and keep getting ignored but charged ### 1/5 — Breath now *2025-04-25, version 2.1.87* Tricks you into yearly membership. They automatically charge your apple account. Hard to cancel. Don’t fall for it. ### 1/5 — Very confusing to log info *2024-07-10* I am deleting this app because it won’t save blood pressure when I track it **Developer response:** Dear Stakesman55, Thanks for downloading BreathNow. The app saves blood pressure in user Apple Health account. To make this happen the app requests access to user Apple Health accounts. Have you provided access to BreathNow to your Apple Health account? You can always provide access to Apple Health in the app settings. Hope this helps. Best regards. BreathNow Team ### 1/5 — They took money after I canceled subscription *2023-09-20, version 2.1.32* Now I have to try an get back! ### 1/5 — Guided randomly work, no support *2023-08-29, version 2.1.29* Things started off well. Then randomly the videos stopped working. When I contacted support they said it was something I did and the app was working fine. Well, that was not the case. The audio buttons all are turned on and I did not accidentally turn them off. I’m not an idiot. So their help was useless. Don’t waste your time or money purchasing the Pro membership. It’s not worth it as the Pro options just really aren’t all that great. The free stuff is better…when it works. Plus, it’s hard to understand one of the guides… I believe his name is DK. There’s probably better apps out there. ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2023-07-28, version 2.1.25* Awful ### 1/5 — Good idea poorly executed *2023-06-19* I wanted to track my BP on an app and I chose this one because of all the BP-lowering suggestions. Great idea. I diligently entered my BP every day for a week. At the end of the week I wanted to review my readings. The app hadn’t recorded them. So frustrating. Additionally, the video content ranges from amateurish to very bad. One video is a 5-minute voiceover over looped stock video. You watch the same 10-second clip of a group of people carrying bowls of food at least 20 times. Another video is supposed to demonstrate a HIIT routine of walking uphill and back down in 30-second intervals, but you can’t actually see the hill, just an extreme close-up of the app developer guy counting to 30… you can tell he’s doing the workout, but like, nobody wants a workout video that is just staring at your face, dude. And if HIIT is an important component of your plan, maybe the demo should be an exercise EVERYONE can do, not just fully-able-bodied people who live in hilly places. The ideas in this app are good, but the execution is poor, and the price is quite high for an app that does not appear to offer continuously refreshed content, such as a weekly meditation, to justify its subscription model. At this price and quality, it just looks like you are trying to price gouge people who are struggling with a serious medical condition. Not a great look. **Developer response:** Dear Katty, thanks for your feedback. I am sorry that BreathNow has not met your expectations. We are adding different content to our app regularly trying to make it useful for our diverse audience. In relation to tracking blood pressure numbers. Please get in touch over email at dmitri@cardiocalm.app and we will be happy to help fix this issue. Best regards.

BreathNow team ### 5/5 — Great for lowering BP *2023-11-07, version 2.1.36* Very glad to have found this app as I set off on a journey to lower my blood pressure. I like that when you enter readings, you can add notes such as “taken after 15 mins meditation” etc. I have contacted the developer a few times now and the response has been both very helpful and incredibly fast!
