### 5/5 — Nice app

*2022-09-17*

Easy to use. No major problema. It works for me.

### 5/5 — Life saver - literally 5 min session calms me

*2021-11-24*

This calming app is the most helpful anxiety app I’ve tried. Forcing myself to do a 5 min breathing exercise calms me down when I feel overwhelmed, anxious or stressed.

### 5/5 — My favorite breathing app! Simple & easy to use

*2020-08-10*

I’ve been using this apps for several years and it has helped me through a few anxiety attacks and sleepless nights/early mornings. Not only does in help when I really need it but it’s great when I just want to take a few minutes to recharge during the day. Easy to use, simple to adjust settings, and pretty backgrounds/sounds. Great breathing app!

### 5/5 — Day 1

Loved this app from day 1

### 5/5 — Great app

*2020-03-02*

Awesome relaxation

### 5/5 — Great App

*2019-03-06, version 4.5*

This is a app that will relax you

### 5/5 — Sound Feature is Awesome!

*2019-02-21*

Sound guidance puts this far above the other apps.

### 5/5 — Been using this for a long time

*2019-01-06*

It's awesome. The meditation lady is cool. The customizable breathing portion is well done. Simple. Effective. Works wonders for sleep too. Thanks to the app makers!

### 4/5 — Breathing Portion is Great!

*2018-10-22*

I enjoy the breathing portion and that you can adjust to different levels as you get better.  As someone else mentioned, I don’t care for the meditation portion and the voice.  Nothing in particular about her voice.  Just doesn’t work for me.

### 3/5 — Nothing to be done

*2018-04-17*

I just find the woman’s voice in guided meditation really distracting and irritating. Some choices in voice would be nice.
