Day 3 and the classes aren’t loading

Extremely glitchy and I couldn’t find the programme that i started 2 days ago, not impressed.

Great but stopped working

After latest update the app is not working anymore

continuous sign in requests

It’s horrible. Since this app was purchased by Peloton, I am asked if I am a Peloton member every SINGLE day. It’s just ridiculous. Who has time for that?!

Miss the old version

Got a new phone and had to download this. So sad to see how the design and usability are lacking when compared to the old version. Missing features, missing the color coded sections, missing favorites, UI not as easy to navigate, etc. I wish I had the choice to revert to the old version. You should offer it as an alternative! Call it Classic Breathwrk for those who miss the old version.

Constantly getting logged out

Anyone else have issue with constantly getting logged out after every 2-3 session? Started about 6 weeks ago. Submitted in app feedback and bug everytime it happens.

Love it

Just needs an ascetically pleasing streak widget. Something compatible with IOS, like Bends widget

Very basic

The context is super basic. The info says it has extended breath holds but it doesn’t. So if you’re looking for guided box breathing and such this will be helpful otherwise it’s a waste.

Complete waste of time and money

After subscribing to Breathwrk premium the app failed to recognise the subscription and continually prompted me to upgrade.
After over a week of emails (with screenshots proving payment) and zero solutions put forward, I was told to “cancel and subscribe again - which would have obviously meant paying for a second subscription without the original issue even being addressed.

Complete waste of time and money. Avoid.

It’s not free

Only reason why I gave it a 2 star is because it started my journey into HRV and LHR exercises. Thankful, but…

I’m never this type of person, positivity is essential but extremely disappointed. I was a solid 9 months in a streak, then got hit with the app becoming entirely paid / subscription based.

All my progress tracked within this app, gone. Then I get hit with an ad and check it out again, can only do one exercise that I can’t even change the duration for.

Jokes, especially when they make you do a test to see how optimal your lung capacity is and give you basic exercises.

Thankful I found a new app.

Pay 50 for an app that doesn’t listen

When you adjust the timer to do something like a stretching exercise the timer will just do whatever it wants. So if you want to do a minute long exercise be prepared for it to go on longer to 2 sometimes 4 minutes. You’d think something as basic as a timer could be bug free but I digress.

Not accessibility friendly

My Dr recommended this app to help engage my parasympathetic system and learn how to do diaphragmatic breathing. However, I couldn’t find a beginner program that could help me get build basic capacity. The search terms for what I needed had timers that were way too long for my capabilities. I felt anxious and disappointed that I app focused on breathing is not set up to help people who might actually benefit.

Why so glitchy?

This app could be great and a real value-add for Peloton subscribers, but I have so many problems with it not working or logging me out as soon as I finish a session. I hope these issues can be fixed. I want to use this app more, but it’s frustrating now.

Good app locked behind subscription and crammed with junk

I've been using this app for a while and I really liked it at the start. It was simple, focused on great breathing techniques that you could schedule. Well a lot of that is gone behind an expensive pay wall and they're cramming the app with generic meditations and classes you can find anywhere.

This app sucks

I paid for this app annually via Apple. It can only be used on one device. There is no login or password feature. The app doesn’t work on iPad because its sizing is incorrect. Contacting them for support is useless.

Start button doesn’t work

I can’t play the meditations. Start button doesn’t work.

Glitchy App

I get signed out every time I complete a session

Refund request

0 stars, I signed up for a 7 day free trial and was charged for a year subscription with no easy way to cancel. I had to speak with an apple support rep who is submitting a refund request. A lot of hassle and so unnecessary. I did not consent to have my credit card charged and now going through a lot
to get a refund. Breathwrk is slimy and would not recommend.

Very buggy

Love the breath work and meditation aspects. I hate how buggy this app is. It logs you out after every session, has ux issues like overlaying critical buttons so you can’t click them, and generally lacks the polish I’d expect from a company like peloton.

Changing Duration Issues

Is there a way to change the time duration on the breathwork sessions? The app freezes every time I attempt to change the number of minutes.

Timing issues

Purchased the yearly subscription and not overly impressed. Some breaths are too short, anoloma viloma not able to be found. Would be helpful to be able to adjust the speed. Also when changing the times, the app freezes with the save button not present.
