### 3/5 — Its ok so far!

*2026-07-20*

I’ll rate it higher if there is a fix for the haptics being the same despite changing it in settings. I think there is a sync issue between the phone app and the watch app because it changes haptics when i change the setting on my phone but when I try to change the type of haptics on my watch solely it will not change.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on all Apple Watches

*2026-06-24*

Requires a new Apple Watch to work, which is unfortunate because this seems like exactly the app I needed. Developer should add that information to the app listing and the app support that pops up on how to install it. The problem isn’t that the app isn’t installing properly, it’s that it’s not compatible with our watches.

**Developer response:** Hi, sorry to hear it wasn’t compatible. Please let us know which watch model you have, and we’ll see what we can do to make it available for that model.

You can contact us at hello@cumuluscoding.com

### 1/5 — Doesn’t show up

*2026-06-14*

Paid for it and then it doesn’t even show up to download. After following the directions (go to watch app, scroll to the bottom, install from available) it doesn’t exist! Never showed up on my watch or the app. Would love to say it works but it doesn’t even show as an option to use.

### 1/5 — Does not show up on watch

*2026-05-01*

Waste of time and money… take the app off the AppStore if it’s not going to show up on the watch.

**Developer response:** Hi, if the app doesn’t appear automatically on your watch, this is likely due to your iPhone settings.
1. Open Apple’s ‘Watch’ app on your iPhone
2. Scroll to the bottom
3. Go to the “Available Apps” section
4. Install the app from there

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-04-28*

Thank goodness it’s only 99p

**Developer response:** Hey, the app definitely does work, so if you can share a bit more detail, we’d be happy to help you use it. If you have identified a bug, please let us know what it is so we can fix it.

### 5/5 — Simple and Amazing!

*2026-03-23*

I’m using the app to control the flow of my breathing during meditation. Using TAP haptic mode and the timer works perfectly! I recommend it.

### 1/5 — Stops Working After 1 Hour

*2026-01-24*

Despite the app offering intervals that suggest it will continue pinging you past the span on an hour, it in fact will not. I thought I had developed some super quick tolerance and was already blocking out the haptics in my mind. Turns out I couldn’t feel them because they weren’t happening. I intended to use this app to work on my time blindness, but even the app seems to forget that it’s supposed to ping me every x minutes

**Developer response:** Hi, thanks for your review and for flagging this.

We’ve now released an update that should keep it pinging reliably past the 60-minute mark. If it still goes quiet on you, let us know and we’ll investigate further.

If it’s behaving itself now, we’d really appreciate an updated review  :)

### 4/5 — Haptics all the same?

*2026-01-21*

This is exactly the app I was looking for to break a physical habit. This is not a complaint, 99¢ is a steal, the iOS app confuses everything, or it doesn’t work. I understood it that the app allowed you to do basic settings like haptics but it doesn’t. It took me a while to figure out that I needed to do everything on the watch. Anyway, that’s awesome and I love it. I’d love a random setting for both the haptic and time interval, like every 1 to 3 minutes, etc. So I get a different feel and at a random interval.

### 5/5 — Top!

*2026-01-08*

Finally an app that’s simple and does what I need. Also it doesn’t collect data 
Thank you!

### 5/5 — Exactly what I wanted

*2025-11-10*

This app does exactly what I needed. It works great as a mindfulness app because I get a gentle buzz every so often to make sure I’m aware or focused on the right thing. The developer responded quickly and made an update that I requested, too!
