An ambitious update for the Apple Watch app!

Dec 23, 2023 — Jan 23, 2024

New update is terrible

I haven’t been able to use the app with my Apple Watch since the last update. I’ve tried restarting both devices. Deleting and reloading. The Apple Watch app won’t launch at all, so I can pair the watch. And I just paid for a subscription so I can use it again. This sucks.

Sound issues

I like the app. I am an early supporter. And I’m glad that I was. However, I have recently started experiencing issues with the sound on both my iPad Pro 2 gen and iPhone pro. It makes this annoying thudding like noise and I believe the stereo is not working perfectly either. With that said, I was hoping they would introduce more customization features for the circle. It has not materialized yet.

Excellent but

I used almost all of the Emdr apps, and I think this one is the best one in the market —at the risk of sounding like a bot or advertisement. But I have one request: I have noticed that Emdr works best for me when the circle has a gradient effect towards the middle down to a solid tiny point, giving my eyes a pinpoint target to focus on. Could this be implemented in a future update, please? Other than that, I want to say without going into details that your app has helped me tremendously. I’m sure it’s the same for many others. So, I really thank you all for that.

Apple TV app is Completely Broken

This is a good app on iPhone and iPad but the Apple TV app just doesn’t work. Any hard click function on a remote starts the animation up. Even when navigating in settings. Idk how you can rationalize charging a subscription when core functionality on a platform is borked.

Greed

I don’t understand. You read these negative reviews critically criticizing your work, for fair reasons, such as unnecessary subscriptions and blatant attempts at cash grabs, on an app that, otherwise would prosper in the market. Yet, instead of listening to the people who took interest in your work, you watch it suffocate and die out as you saturate it with cash grabs. It’s extremely disappointing to observe the future developers, as they skewer their hard work with in app purchases and adding ads onto their work. Sure you make extra cash, but you sold out your in app’s or in game’s experience. And as a developer, that’s just sad. You as a developer could’ve been a change to the mobile app store landscape, yet you contributed to an already saturated market of apps and games with paywalls and in app purchases and ads, making you just another D class dev. Do better.
