What's New in Pranayama

1.2

October 25, 2019

Updates for iOS 13.1.3

User reviews

Feature request: support larger decimals

It’s a great app and I have already used it for several years! I want to increase my breath count in the practice of 1:4:2 Nadi shodhana, but the app only allows me to increase by integer amounts as I am already using up the two digits allowed. That leads to an increase of a whopping seven seconds per breath. I am at a point where I can only hope to progress by a second or two per breath at a time. For example, I would like durations like 10.1 possible. Please try to include this feature soon. Thanks a lot!

Ending of cycle

After ending of rotations the last one can alter with two repetitive bell or sound so we know the number of round sets ended

No health app mindfulness link

Seems like a nice app that you can customize but I choose not to use it most of the time because it doesn’t link to my mindfulness minutes in the health app. Needs to be updated to give this option.

App crash

Couldn’t find how to submit a bug report on the app support page. The application crashes every time I start an exercise after iOS 13.1.2 update

Response from developer

Hi Michael9619, the update for iOS 13.1.2 will be out soon with all bugs and crash problems fixed.

Sound issues

This was a favorite breathing app until the sound option stopped working.

Response from developer

Hello javk777, thank you for your review and we are very glad that you like our Pranayama breathing app. For the sound option, please check that the Ring/Silent switch is in the Ring position, that the volume is up and that you selected the sound in the Settings - Sound option menu.
