### 5/5 — Good app.

*2025-07-14, version 2.8*

Good app. I like it a lot. Problem: I can no longer play music in the background, which I like a lot for training.

### 5/5 — Good

*2025-04-17, version 2.8*

Very good

### 5/5 — Great for learning how to breath hold!

*2023-09-27, version 2.8*

Love that this app is free as well - used prior to a beginner freediving course and it gave me enough practice to give me a head start and be more comfortable underwater!

### 4/5 — Stops if using other apps

*2023-02-14, version 2.8*

Main issue is if I do anything else on my phone while using this app it pauses the time, so even though it's been 20 seconds when I go back to the app it shows the time as 20 seconds ago. This is only an issue on iPhone, please fix! 

Also recently the iPhone app stopped announcing "breathe" once the hold interval is done. It counts five, two, and then nothing. Please announce that it's time to breathe, I'm not staring at the screen the whole time.

### 5/5 — No longer supported

*2021-03-21, version 2.8*

This was my go to training app for free diving over the past 4 years.

Unfortunately it keeps crashing on iOS 14

What a shame. Simple, clean app with a great logo.

### 5/5 — Easy and flexible

*2020-08-30, version 2.8*

Simple and useful app. I’m able to personalise the table and change the timings which is great and what I’ve been looking for. Recommend it 👍🏼
