Keeps disappearing when I try to open it. Please help. ### 1/5 — Useless unless you don’t like building up to slower breaths *2022-12-12, version 8.1* This app crashes every time you use a breathing pattern that has any seconds of breath retention. It doesn’t matter which level. You can only use in and out breaths which I never like to do because I prefer breath retention (holding my breath in after inhaling) it just feels right for me. I found out rather quickly after I bought it and want to request a refund! Useless for my intentions. ### 1/5 — Plantage *2022-08-03, version 8.1* Plantage avec iOS 15.6, accès normal en débutant 1 après ça plante. Bref l équivalent de la version free. ### 4/5 — Longtime user *2021-11-06, version 8.1* I’ve had this app for many years and find it very helpful. I wish it were integrated into Apple Health, though. No updates for four years doesn’t bode well for the future of this app. ### 3/5 — 闪退 *2021-10-10* 闪退 ### 1/5 — BUG IOS 15.1 *2021-10-03, version 8.1* L’apps ce ferme toute seule pendant la séance.

Se cierra la app *2021-09-30, version 8.1* No funciona se cierra la app ### 1/5 — Crashes *2021-04-24, version 8.1* I did everything the troubleshooting FAQs suggest but without fail, this app crashes and stalls continuously. Then went to email their support and that says that due to high volumes, support emails can no longer be answered. Don’t get this app, and probably not any of the others they offer if you can’t contact someone when the thing doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — App no longer works with latest IOS *2021-02-26, version 8.1* Loved this app but now it won’t launch, I needs to be updated to work with the lates iOS release!! ### 1/5 — Nul *2020-12-08, version 8.1* Ne fonctionne plus ### 1/5 — App crashing when retaining. *2020-12-04, version 8.1* When using the retain hold function the app crashes and closes. Used to work fine appears to be a new bug. Unable to contact developer via website chat system being closed so writing it here. ### 1/5 — Que se passe t-il ? *2020-11-22, version 8.1* J’ai acheté cette application il y a quelques temps. J’ai changé de téléphone d’IPhone Xs max pour IPhone 12 pro max et l’appli se ferme en mode moyen... une idée ? ### 2/5 — app crashes in anatomical view *2020-10-05, version 8.1* please bug fix. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Crashes before I can use it *2026-03-22, version 8.1* I love this app (have had it for well over 10 years) and have recommended it to friends forever. It no longer works on my updated iPhone, though. It crashes before the first cycle of breath even inhales. I miss some of the more advanced breathing techniques and am hoping for an update to where I can use it again. ### 1/5 — App crashes on trying to open *2025-08-17, version 8.1* Fix this app or return my money and take off of store! ### 1/5 — Refuses to open *2025-07-24, version 8.1* Pops up the title page and then vanishes. I want my money back! ### 1/5 — Fraudulent *2025-06-21, version 8.1* It’s awful. I download the app I paid for it and it’s not working even the application doesn’t open. I don’t know what ### 1/5 — Crashes after first inhale! *2024-11-14, version 8.1* I have an iPhone 13 running iOS 18.1, and cannot get a session to advance past the first inhale. Please help! ### 1/5 — App non-functional on iPhone 15 pro *2024-10-26, version 8.1* Just paid 4.99$ for this app but it seems not opening up at all on iPhone 15 pro , software version iOS 17.7. Please refund my money and either fix this app or take it off from App Store . ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work *2024-05-31, version 8.1* App doesn’t work even after uninstalling it, waste of 5$ ### 1/5 — Payed version doesn’t open *2024-05-12, version 8.1* It worked ok while it was free. When I bought the payed version, it didn’t even open. And I uninstalled the free version. Now I have none. ### 1/5 — Unbelievable! *2024-04-01, version 8.1* I re-downloaded the app. When I click the icon, I was kicked out of the app and gone back to my iphone home screen. The app couldn't be opened. ### 1/5 — Arnaque *2023-12-18, version 8.1* Ne fonctionne pas Et aucune explication Comment être remboursé ? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Simple and effective *2026-03-01, version 8.1* This app taught me to breathe better, simple and effective ### 5/5 — Long time user *2023-04-30, version 8.1* I have been using this app for many many years. Could it be 8 years? Something like that. I still use it. No other app has been used more. Or for as long. Unfortunately the custom section of it no longer works on iPhone 13. As is everything in life, what has a beginning, has an end. I’ll still use it. Until the end. ### 5/5 — Muy útil y práctica. *2021-03-25, version 8.1* Me parece una aplicación muy buena. Te entrena poco a poco a respirar mejor y con más profundidad. ### 5/5 — Great app *2020-11-26, version 8.1* Solid reliable app ### 5/5 — Now the only app *2020-11-24, version 8.1* If I had a one app iPhone, this is app on it. After many many years , the developer through trial and error, after trying to monetize it in many ways, finally settled on just being the developer of the perfect breathing app. Thank you! Features: fine tune breathing intervals, allows display to be off while in use, sound that clearly demarcates breathing patterns. ### 5/5 — Paranya *2020-08-17, version 8.1* Very very good, Excellent Excellent App, obviously do not make miracle, but personally, I enjoy a lot this exercises, and My Family too, we have some fun, and Relax, ### 5/5 — Супер *2020-04-22, version 8.1* Мне очень по душе это приложение! Всего достаточно в настройках, и классные звуки для практик. Правда, если бы немножко интерфейс обновили бы, не было бы равных этому приложению. И ещё было бы классно добавить синхронизацию со здоровьем «осознанность». Сделайте, пожалуйста. ### 5/5 — Very straightforward and a real boost for your health and well-being *2020-03-20, version 8.1* I’ve had this app nearly 8 years and have found it to be excellent for improving both mind and body. Thought it deserved more positive reviews. I bought it first for something to help me with depression. The idea being that if I could control my breathing I could control my anxiety. It worked for me over a period of 6 months as I weaned myself off antidepressants. Probably would have been better not being on them in the first place...but this app was very helpful alongside other things I did to get well. Good breathing is necessary for any sport and even walking up the stairs! Doing these breathing exercises with good posture is also good for your posture. I also feel that good breathing is good for mental clarity. I did email the developer asking about adding other breathing techniques that form part of pranayama philosophy but they felt that trying to teach those via an app was too hard and risky. In hindsight I’d agree with them. The benefits from just these basic techniques are pretty good. ### 5/5 — Been using this for years, love it *2020-03-07, version 8.1* It’s simple, elegant, and I’ve been using it happily for years to focus, improve my breathing, calm any anxiety, and generally improve my well being. I like the ability to customize your own breath patterns. ### 5/5 — I really like this app *2019-12-25, version 8.1* I have really enjoyed this and it has helped me. Thank you for creating this. Would be good if there was more breathing exercises but I would still recommend --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
