My phone is usually on Sleep Focus, so I don’t notice when it’s running. The app also automatically starts when I get in my car and my phone syncs with Bluetooth. The app starts on its own though out the day. I finally deleted the app and cancelled my subscription. Not worth the frustration. ### 5/5 — New Updated Pause Breathe Reflect *2025-06-28, version 2.0.1* The new updated version is fabulous. I’m so happy about the new micro dose feature!!! It really does give me some great mindfulness moments that I can share. It really helps me stop the scrolling cycle. Everyone would benefit from this app. ### 5/5 — A trusted space *2024-12-23, version 1.4.3* With PBR I can carry a safe, trusted space which helps to provide clarity and calm in an increasingly unbalanced world. ### 5/5 — Grateful from UK *2024-05-25, version 1.3.5* Thank you for rippling this out Michael. I’m Rachel and live in Kent UK. I discovered you on Rich Roll’s podcast recently. Your message really resonated. The app is perfect as the pause and breathe parts are not too long but long enough to take that step back. I like how the reflect prompts provide space to jot down brief thoughts. Your voice is soothing and calm. I also enjoy the kinsugi podcast. Your personal message on downloading the app was a nice touch. For us across the pond who want some merch the shipping costs are really steep I’d love to get some! Thanks again great app, great contribution to a space that can feel overcrowded and overwhelming at times. ### 5/5 — Quick moments to reconnect with yourself *2024-03-02, version 1.2.0* Love this app. Quick segments for those moments when you’re on the go to take a minute to reconnect, focus and move forward. My daily go to app! ### 5/5 — Pause Breathe Reflect *2023-12-04, version 1.2.0* Being totally present in the moment and taking a break from the fast paced life, remembering what’s most important; connecting and being a part of positive change throughout the world. ### 5/5 — A Blissful Journey for Beginners or Experienced Meditators *2023-11-24* I recently had the pleasure of discovering the Pause Breathe Reflect App, and I must say, it has truly transformed my daily routine.

Turns out… ANY number of minutes - INCLUDING JUST 1 - can make a big difference!! I was very dubious, but PBR offers a ton of 1-, 2-, and 3-minute meditations (and longer) to get you started! For me, it was also a lifeline in despairing times, not just for the guided meditations, but for the live (zoom) sessions too! PBR is more than a meditation app (if you want it to be) - it’s a welcoming, inclusive community I am so grateful to have stumbled upon! (I also opted into the daily reminder texts that tell me when the next live session is, along with a few words of inspiration and encouragement. ✨) ## Most praised reviews (2 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Huge fan! *2023-11-16, version 1.1.1* The app is simply fantastic. The moment you launch it, the calming music sets the tone. So many different types of meditations, and most of them are short, which works so well with my lifestyle. Me personally, I could not imagine my day without it. ### 5/5 — Take The Time To Free Your Mind *2023-11-13* I absolutely LOVE this APP! Seriously, I would give it more than 5 stars if this review had it available. I start my day out with it, sometimes I need one minute or five minutes during the day to reset BUT….every night this is what I use to FREE MY MIND. I struggle shutting my wife, mom, nana, entrepreneur brain off. This here works to do exactly that every time! Once, I begin to meditate that’s where the struggle bus stops and I fall asleep 💤 relaxed and I feel well rested. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
