### 4/5 — Effective, simple app- could add a few things

*2015-12-09*

A wonderful app for meditation, especially when you are not quite able to sit down and calm your mind yet. Focusing on the slow moving ball gives you an effective way to slowly ramp down the mind's speed while increasing your focus. I use this and then meditate and the combo really works for me. I would suggest the app maker add the ability to make the light bulb and home button on the corner of the screen disappear. They are overly large and bright, and very distracting for an app that is about reducing distractions. Being able to add your own backgrounds would also be a bonus. Otherwise great!

### 4/5 — Great peace-of-mind aid

*2014-07-11*

Very relaxing.

### 3/5 — Great app but...

*2014-03-12*

Great app but it would be perfect if you made an update with one improvement... The controls in concentration mode are actually quite DISTRACTING, especially when the ball bounces behind them, (the ball that the user is meant to be CONCENTRATING ON). Please please please correct this. You could make the controls invisible, and have the user tap the background to make them appear... What do you think?

### 5/5 — 5 Star!

*2013-04-22*

### 4/5 — Gimmick

*2013-02-08, version 6.0*
