Scores make it easy to keep coming back & I often find myself doing the patterns on my own (no phone) but wanting to record them and getting up to get my phone and open coherence. If you’re someone who wants more embodiment in your life, coherence is for you. ### 5/5 — Best Breathwork App *2026-07-23* Coherence is an incredible tool that makes breathwork easy and accessible to anyone. Getting in touch with your breath is one of the best things you can do for your physical and mental health. You only need a few minutes a day to experience major changes. ### 5/5 — BANGER APP *2026-07-21, version 5.0.0* By far the best app for guided Breathwork work I've used, great associated community too. Basically the insight timer of Breathwork. ### 5/5 — Life Changing Performance Enhancer *2026-07-21* In 6 months I’ve elevated my HRV 14 points and decreased my resting heart rate by 11 beats per minute, while getting stronger and earning pro status in strongman. I would give this more stars if I could. ### 5/5 — Game Changer *2026-07-18* The Vortex Method is a game changer. Truly beneficial. So many different sequences of breath work. Way better than going to the doctor. Get back to what’s real and what’s important… conscious breathing ### 3/5 — Breath work is great, app is mediocre *2026-07-13, version 4.3.2* I love all the options for breath work on the app. They are great and easy to use, search, and in most cases have good descriptions. I would love to see binaural beats integrated. The app is buggy though. It will wipeout streaks and then (sometimes) randomly bring them back. At times won’t load. It’s supposed to be able to play your own music but it doesn’t work within the app. The app doesn’t play well with others- must manually enter and exit options for it to “duck volume” when playing media externally. Last I checked, it still doesn’t work on iPad despite the better part of a year since giving this feedback and one of the owners saying he was personally getting that fixed. Leaderboard feature is a bad idea, fake and often glitched- people often will have done more breath work in a day than there are minutes in that day, and some clearly just leave the app running all day to cheat their way to the top of a leaderboard that means nothing. Global group coherence sessions are sketchy in their motivations… ### 5/5 — ❤️ *2026-07-05, version 4.3.2* An amazing addition to my breathwork practice. Coherence makes it so easy, I don't have to count, just focus on my breathing 🙏 ### 5/5 — The app is fantastic, but it doesn't work properly *2026-06-26* The app is fantastic, but it doesn't work properly. After a few minutes of a program, it just stops working. Pleas fix that, I love this app ### 5/5 — WONDERFUL! *2026-06-18, version 4.3.2* This is what I’ve been missing! Thank you! ### 5/5 — Best app *2026-06-10, version 4.3.2* Cured my dysfunctional diaphragm which was causing all sorts of a of issues. Just from practicing daily. Excellent for winding down before sleep ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-05-15, version 4.3.2* This absolutely changed my mental and physical being for the best ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2026-05-05, version 4.3.2* This app is amazing! Highly recommended if you’re serious about becoming your highest self. Vortex breath work alone is worth the price of admission. ### 5/5 — Amazing breath, worker best I’ve ever used *2026-04-26* I love how I can change the breathing sound and the cycle guide mode, as well as the different soundscapes and type of breath. Allows me to also change my dashboard on what type of price I prefer using most often and it showing so many different types of breath. I’ve never heard of before such as a breathable humming while breathing ### 5/5 — Coherence *2026-04-22* Amazing app I feel a million bucks every time I do one ### 5/5 — Single Greatest App I’ve Ever Used *2026-04-20* It’s refreshing to have something on our screens that actually makes our life better. Coherence is changing the world one breath at a time. I’m so happy this exists and I recommend it to everyone. ### 5/5 — The only app you need *2026-04-17, version 4.3.1* I’ve been using this app for what feels like a lifetime. And I cannot recommend it enough to anyone looks to take ownership over their mental state and wellbeing. Download it ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Meh *2026-08-13, version 5.0.0* Unable to access app without paying. ### 1/5 — Paywall *2026-06-21, version 4.3.2* Practicing breath work is free. ### 1/5 — scam *2026-06-07, version 4.3.2* i had a valid code for 60 days, app overrides this immediately and replaces with a 2wk trial: so dishonest! ### 1/5 — Charged during trial period *2026-05-08, version 4.3.2* App said Inhad two day trial and would receive an alert before it was over. Instead, the app immediately charge me the month and when I canceled it showed it would cancel a month from today. What a SCAM!!! ### 1/5 — Paid app *2026-03-21, version 4.2.4* I thought they were doing something genuinely cool by the way they advertised. But it was just another way to get someone to download their app. Boo. ### 1/5 — Bait and Switch - no way to try the app unless signing for “free trial” *2026-01-08, version 3.5.5* App should warn before that there is absolutely no way to try the app for free unless you sign up for a paid subscription and then cancel within 3 days. ### 1/5 — Don’t buy this *2026-01-07, version 3.5.5* Honestly I accidentally forgot to cancel my free trial and I regret it . All this app does it have some annoying sound to count your breath why you inhale in and out. It’s not even relaxing . You can really find a more relaxing sounds for breath work in youtube for free ### 1/5 — Lame *2025-12-10, version 3.5.5* Advertising a 3 day trial, though they sneak it into the yearly membership exclusively.. I was bamboozled into thinking the trial was for any membership ### 1/5 — Not working *2025-11-20, version 3.5.2* Is there any issue with app? I downloaded but when I open it . It’s only a black screen and nothing else . I deleted it and trying to redownload it again . Still same things when I open it . Help . ### 1/5 — Nothing *2025-10-10, version 3.0.0* Couldn’t get anything except a blank screen ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — This app is incredible *2026-08-28* Thanks to this app I’m always just 1 minute away from a completely different state. So easy to use. Also the founders are amazing people. ### 5/5 — Cool *2026-08-18, version 5.0.0* I love it ### 5/5 — Love the app- slightly buggy at times *2026-08-15, version 5.0.0* This app helps me a ton with guided breathing. Lately has been really glitchy so I deleted and redownloaded and seemed to help ### 5/5 — 💗 *2026-08-05, version 5.0.0* I love this app great job guys. ### 5/5 — Nichts erwartet und doch überrascht *2026-07-31* Hab’s mal ausprobiert. Es hat auf jeden Fall seine Daseinsberechtigung. Nach meinem ersten Testen, einer 20 Minuten Atmenübung, muss ich zugeben, dass ich mich tatsächlich Positiv anders fühle. Ich denke allerdings, dass der Testzeitraum zu kurz angesetzt ist. Ich würde schon gerne eine Woche testen können, um zu schauen, ob das wirklich funktioniert und meinen Alltag positiv beeinflusst. ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2026-07-31, version 5.0.0* This app has been helping me get better sleep and be more present, I highly recommend it ### 5/5 — Goat breath work app *2026-07-30, version 5.0.0* Really is the goat ### 5/5 — My breath *2026-07-30, version 5.0.0* My daily grind, first thing in the morning. I love it. ### 5/5 — Beautiful ! *2026-07-25, version 5.0.0* This app is wonderful to calm down. It makes you feel amazing when you are done. When you are stressed or you are relaxed I always finish with a wonderful feeling. Absolutely beautiful app. ### 5/5 — Coach Marco *2026-07-24* I’m very happy to share this story with you guys because this App has helped me so much and it has made me feel so much better not just physically but emotionally change my life. The price is great and the choice of the different types of breathing exercises is a game changer for me.
