### 5/5 — Couleurs

*2026-03-02*

N est il pas possible de voir des couleurs aux moments de l inspiration et de l expiration au lieu d images

### 5/5 — Super…

*2025-01-17*

Tut was ich brauch und lässt sich schön personalisieren ❤️ Auch die Notizfunktion ist klasse 👍 Jetzt fehlen nur noch Hintergrundinformationen und Artikel über die Methode, dann ist es die perfekte App… Ich mag sie sehr 🙏🏻😊🫶 Herzlichen Dank ❤️

### 5/5 — Regular use works for me

*2022-07-10*

This app gets better and better. I use it daily and feel the benefit. It isn't just the relaxation, it's the breath training. Thank you.  September 2019 I still use this nearly every day. It is ever-improving. I can't recommend it enough.

**Developer response:** Thanks a lot for your feedback Malky

### 3/5 — Needs guidelines or instructions  for settings

*2020-12-03*

I just wish it had  instructions as the timing that you’re supposed to set it up, I’m trying this app for the first time. I think it’s healthy but I have no idea how to use it. I see the settings but where is the guidelines maybe it’s just me?

### 5/5 — J’adore 🥰

*2020-11-24, version 2.21*

Je le recommande

### 4/5 — Nice app, needs option for breath retention

*2020-09-21, version 2.21*

Customisable exercises would set the app apart from others, asceticallypleasing.

### 5/5 — Simple et efficace

*2019-07-14, version 2.19*

Application simple, offre une bonne flexibilité au niveau des options. Elle répond aux besoins de la Cohérence cardiaque et même un peu plus.

### 5/5 — Simple et efficace

*2019-02-27, version 2.17*

Simple à utiliser, 
c’est exactement ce qu’il me faut!
Merci :)

### 4/5 — Super

*2018-11-09*

Super 
Efficace

### 5/5 — Cohérence cardiaque

*2018-11-03*

Le son est dissocié du rythme respiratoire illustré par la colonne visuelle. Il suffirait de le synchroniser pour que l’appli soit parfaite, par exemple flux et reflux du bruit de vagues, du vent, du son d’un instrument à vent...
