### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2025-01-07, version 4.5*

Excellent app thank you

### 3/5 — Purchased twice

*2024-10-07*

I love this, but I put it down for a while, & at some point, bought a new phone. Had a panic attack, opened the app, and my purchase was gone. It froze every time I hit restore, so I had to pay $3 to get it back.

### 5/5 — I LOVE IT

*2024-04-13, version 4.5*

Sometimes I breathe wrong but I used this app and now I'm back to breathing perfectly.I TOTALLY RECOMMEND THIS APP!!!!!

### 5/5 — why it’s good?!

*2024-02-27, version 4.5*

it’s good so then people with anxiety and stress can calm down and don’t need to worry about anything

### 1/5 — Annoying

*2022-03-26, version 4.5*

Did the first 8 minute meditation. No music. Just a woman speaking as fast as possible. Focus here. Focus there. How can you when she just keeps talking. Not impressed. I actually had to shut it off

### 5/5 — Easy and Effective

*2021-08-14*

I have some fancy apps but the simplicity of this one makes it easy, effective and I find calming. I like it and am using with results👍🏻😊

### 5/5 — Great app

*2021-05-02*

I have been using this for about 3 years and it has never failed to make me relaxed, I love it soooooo much

### 5/5 — Very easy to use

*2021-02-26*

I found the visual background and sound very relaxing. Kept my mind focused on my breathing and meditation!!!  

My goal is to meditate daily and this app makes it very enjoyable. Thank you!!

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2021-02-19*

I found this app a couple of years ago looking for breathing exercises for asthma, as slow breathing techniques help to relax the airways. I quickly found, in addition to this, that the relaxation helped in a variety of stressful situations as well. I like that the sound settings can be customised, balancing the tunes with the nature sounds in a way that suits you. I don’t usually buy apps (I usually stick to the free versions), but I bought the full version because I honestly feel it was worth the money.

### 1/5 — Free Vs. Paid

*2021-01-25*

I absolutely love the free version. One of the best shorter meditations I’ve done - works every time. Unfortunately though, the only difference between the free 8 min mediation and paid for 13 min meditation is unimportant distracting speaking/noise. My purchase was a waste of $3.99.
