Aids in resetting physically, mentally, and spiritually. However, the upcoming features are surely part of my expectations and excitement. Would love to have them soon. ### 5/5 — Fantastic simplicity *2026-07-21, version 8.1* I cant stand downloading a breathwork or meditation app, answering a bunch of questions for it to “customize” my experience, and then get to a payment screen before I can even tell if it has anything that’s worth staying for. This has none of that nonsense! Just simple guided breathing in a clean interface. I’ve used it for years now. ### 5/5 — Optimal Efficiency *2026-07-18, version 8.1* This app is phenomenal, simply set up WITH SELF PERSONALIZED exercises. FOR FREE! I utilize breath work daily, specifically for HRV and LHR. There’s many tools out there but quite honestly breathing is free and so should half these apps. No hate but I used “Breathwrk” before they made everything a subscription based platform. Highly disappointed and frustrating. Very thankful for iBreathe. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Super *2026-07-12, version 8.1* I'm grateful for this app; it genuinely boosts my health and sharpens my mind.. ### 5/5 — Superb *2026-07-11, version 8.1* Everything you need for Breath Training. The ability to customize is why it will be useful long term. 👍👍 ### 5/5 — Breath of fresh air! *2026-07-07, version 8.0* This is exactly the breathing app I’ve been searching for. It’s simple, clean, easy to use, and lets me focus on my breathing without unnecessary distractions. Sometimes the simplest apps are the most effective, and this one gets it right. ### 5/5 — excellent guided breathing app *2026-06-30, version 8.0* well designed no nonsense calm app ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-06-29, version 8.0* Really really happy ### 5/5 — Very nice. *2026-06-24, version 8.0* Sleek, functional… Has nice haptics. ### 5/5 — Exactly What I Was Looking For *2026-06-24, version 8.0* I’ve been using this app for maybe about a year, and it’s been great! It’s a calm, simple platform to regulate my nervous system. I love how relaxed the space feels (not busy-looking or complex), and the features that let me taylor my breathing exercises in such helpful ways. Thanks, iBreathe! ### 5/5 — Great and simple *2026-06-13, version 8.0* Really easy to use. Only charges $4 to get unlimited about of breath work exercises. ### 5/5 — Great *2026-06-10, version 8.0* I love this app , you can make it work for your own needs and convence. ### 5/5 — My new breathing App *2026-05-31, version 8.0* Two weeks in I have added six new units to my daily workouts. ### 5/5 — It is good *2026-05-30, version 8.0* This is good. ### 5/5 — So simple *2026-05-26, version 8.0* This app is perfect for creating tailored breathing for whatever you need. So simple, I love the vibration setting! ### 5/5 — Best breathing app available! *2026-05-26, version 8.0* Simple, customizable and clean. No distractions. Just an easy to use, customizable breathing app that has 5 breathing exercises included but also allows you to add your own breathing exercises. Also includes customization for haptics and feedback. ### 5/5 — Great *2026-05-23, version 8.0* Simple and really good. Highly recommended ### 5/5 — Does what it says *2026-05-22, version 8.0* Simple and user friendly, a decent amount of customisation for what you’d need but mostly no frills. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — FAKE REVIEWS ALL FAKE *2026-07-13, version 8.1* IF YOU DONT PAY YOU ARE SPAMMED WITH ADS, 0/10 ### 1/5 — Unzuverlässig auf der Apple Watch *2026-07-13* Schade, aber leider hat sich bei der Apple Watch auch im aktuellen Update nichts getan (Rezension unten). Damit wird Kompatibilität versprochen, die aber nicht gehalten wird. Weil sich nichts tut, Abwertung auf einen Stern. Leider funktioniert die App seit einer Weile nicht mehr zuverlässig auf der Apple Watch sobald das Display abdunkelt. Die Vibration beim Wechsel der Phasen stimmt dann nicht mehr oder setzt aus. Damit ist die App leider nicht mehr auf der Apple Watch zu gebrauchen. Der Entwickler reagiert leider auch nicht. Schade, war mal eine tolle App. ### 1/5 — Ads are loud, jarring, frequent, and defeat the app’s purpose *2026-04-18, version 8.0* The app itself seemed decent. Limited functionality with the free version, but hey - that’s the ‘premium’ side of ‘freemium’ apps, right? Then I finished my first breathing exercise. I was relaxed! And then an ad started _shouting _ in my ear. What on earth were you thinking? I get that you all still need to make $ off of us cheapskates (though after one session is a bit quick). But with audible, LOUD ads just after helping us release some stress? I can’t fathom how you got your rating, unless you’ve changed your UI a ton in recent years ### 1/5 — Pornographic ads *2025-12-08, version 8.0* Tiny pictures at the bottom were pornographic ### 1/5 — 更新完功能減少 *2025-06-19, version 7.1.1* 更新完功能減少變要付費 ### 1/5 — Greed *2025-04-09, version 6.8.2* How much is enough? I paid the required fee to get rid of the ads just yesterday. Today I used the app only to be forced to give a tip! Is that going to happen every time I use this app. If I been notified before purchase I would not have purchased but continued either the ads. Fair and open disclosure should be the practice of doing business of all. Shame on you!!!!! ### 1/5 — App doesn’t open *2025-03-11, version 6.8.2* The app hasn’t worked for some time now. Doesn’t open, gets stuck on loading screen. Closing app, removing app doesn’t work. It’s a real shame ### 1/5 — Vibration sometimes not working on apple watch *2025-02-25, version 6.8.2* please retest and fix. Thanks ### 1/5 — Used to be good *2025-02-12, version 6.8.2* The app used to work ok but now the interval beats are irregular, inconsistent, and actually unusable. I have reported the bug twice already and it never gets fixed. Too bad I paid the premium fee. ### 1/5 — removes your anxiety but first watch ads… *2024-08-07, version 6.8* your app is literally a timer which has almost zero development cost but you decide to be greedy and adding ads, woah. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love This! *2026-08-31, version 8.1* This app is great!😊 ### 5/5 — Great! *2026-08-18, version 8.1* This really helps me daily, thank you!! ### 5/5 — Great app, Love this app for box breathing *2026-08-18, version 8.1* Love this app for box breathing ### 5/5 — Just what I needed. *2026-08-09, version 8.1* I’ve been looking for an app like this for a while now and I’m really impressed with the results! I’m totally blind so I appreciate the fact the app is accessible with voiceover and the interface is easy to navigate and use. There are exercises to help Me sleep and the rectangle and box help Me wake up in the morning and feel more energised. I’m glad it just does what it does and you don’t have to create an account and go through nonsense like that. Keep up the good work. ### 5/5 — The best app for breathing exercises *2026-08-06, version 8.1* this app is exactly what it’s supposed to be! you can make a custom breathing exercise, or you can use one of many presets. lots of cool fun facts in the app as a bonus as well! isn’t that cool! this is the best app for guided breathing exercises. no bloating useless add-ons, no subscription service, just a simple few dollars if you want to pay at all. you don’t even need to pay to have a custom exercise. all the important app features are free! if you’re going to make a free to use app, this is how you do it. i applaud the developer for staying simple and true in this modern day. ### 5/5 — it’s amazing *2026-08-05, version 8.1* it’s great to help your breathing and to help with asthma and stress ### 5/5 — Military Veteran *2026-08-01, version 8.1* I suffer from generalized anxiety with panic attacks. This app is heaven sent. Thank you so much. This has changed my life positively. 🙏 ### 5/5 — Simple and effective! *2026-07-26, version 8.1* You can set your own breathing reminder and your own breathing pattern! ### 5/5 — Perfect support for my breathwork routine *2026-07-23, version 8.1* I love the individual construction of breath routines. It has allowed me to build varied routines from 90 seconds all the way up to 15 minutes. ### 5/5 — Physician *2026-07-21, version 8.1* Best app for the price on the market. I suggest it to all my patients and use it on a daily basis myself --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
