Please all who read this follow Forrest Knutson on YouTube to understand how this works and what it does….amazing stuff. This is a real review, I am a changed man because of heart rate variability resonant breathing and Kriya Yoga. Thanks again for a great app. Even better than I expected. ### 5/5 — designed to truly help. *2022-09-28, version 1.2* I thank the developer infinitely for putting out a simple and practical product; it has helped me greatly. ### 5/5 — Fantastic. *2022-09-28, version 1.2* Great app for reaching heart coherence. One of the best out there and it’s free. Thank you to the developer for their efforts. ### 5/5 — I love this method *2022-08-02, version 1.2* Thank you so much for this breathing technique and app. It is simple and really helpful in inducing a meditative state. I highly recommend this app. I tried so many meditation techniques but this one is one of the most simple and effective. Keep up the practice. 🙏 ### 5/5 — Too loud *2022-06-20, version 1.2* I wish you could change the volume because i like to listen to music while using the app but the bell is too loud ### 5/5 — FINALLY!! *2022-06-03, version 1.2* Finally, a meditation app that works immediately and doesn’t take months to get benefits. This has changed my life and makes it so easy to actually drastically slow down/stop my thoughts and meditate rather than needing to use self control to focus on something. ### 5/5 — Amazing app and service *2022-05-01, version 1.2* I have enjoyed Forest’s videos on YouTube (accessible via the app as well through links in the “I” —info— button) and got this very basic app, which is transformational. I am seeing improvements in a very short time. And it’s free. Great service ### 5/5 — For meditation and falling asleep. *2021-07-30, version 1.1* Thank you for developing this app, which allows me to match my breathing pattern to the tonal cues. I use it for both meditation and sleep. I have worked intermittently with breath techniques over the years, with varying degrees of success. This app virtually eliminates the frustration and effort of self-direction and allows for a better, more predictable, experience. ### 5/5 — Thanks Forest and John *2021-07-07, version 1.0* App works wonderfully and the multiple inhale exhale ratio options are awesome. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Exhale sound not synchronized *2024-09-10, version 1.2* The sound that accompanies the exhalation stops before the exhalation is finished. ### 4/5 — Good app *2024-11-21, version 1.2* Good app, very easy to use and the method really helps to calm down. One more feature would be great: start and stop the breathing with your Bluetooth controls. ### 4/5 — Good *2021-09-17, version 1.2* Good app but could be improved by making the sound on the exhale as long as the visualisation. ### 4/5 — Almost perfect *2021-07-08, version 1.1* I love the simplicity of this app. It’s designed specifically for HRV breathing and that makes it very straightforward to use. Thank you, developers, for making it free! Suggestion: I have to go into my phone settings and turn off auto-lock prior to starting a breathing exercise. It would be better if the app could do this automatically. ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-02-01, version 1.2* This app is so simple, yet highly effective. For the first time in my life, I can sit and find calm, peace and to meditate, just by focusing on breathing. The only thing I would improve is the sound to continue all the way to the end on the out breath for 30:70 and 20:80. ### 5/5 — Amazing Results *2025-06-22, version 1.2* The results from using this app are nothing short of amazing. This app is so simple, but has everything you need to adjust to your needs/preference. The results are amazing. Consistent activate the parasympathetic nervous on demand and enter the low idle state needed for deep meditation. ### 5/5 — Now it deserves 5 stars instead of 4 *2025-04-16, version 1.2* I installed it 3 years ago, used it for a while but the sound was not 100%. Now it is and I can continue using it. ### 5/5 — Simple & Effective *2025-02-11, version 1.2* Thank you for providing this app. While there are all those charging what you are doing for free, we appreciate you. ### 5/5 — Forrest knows his stuff *2024-04-12, version 1.2* The most effective key to unlocking effective meditation ### 5/5 — Simple, easy *2024-02-07, version 1.2* Love the explanation video at the beginning and then it’s very easy to use, no unnecessary frills and no ads. Using it for Long Covid management and my brain fog really appreciates the design :) ## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Simply Awesome… *2023-12-07, version 1.2* An excellent and to the point app which does what it supposed to do, thank you so much John and Forrest, really appreciated and please keep up the great work. ### 5/5 — Highly recommended. *2023-11-08, version 1.2* My neurologist recommended this app to me and it’s been much more helpful than other apps for meditation because I can find my own individual settings for optimal vagus stimulation and deep relaxation. ### 5/5 — great meditation app *2023-02-13, version 1.2* this app is great! it’s one of the only apps that has helped me with meditation and it’s simple function really eliminates the extra steps commonly found in meditation apps. i have a few small constructive criticism for the developers, if they are open to it. 1. the app’s timer doesn’t fully work when your phone is off, which can be improved (maybe add a setting where you can choose if the timer goes off or not while your phone is off?). 2. it would be nice if the visualization page that activates once you start a session had a timer/stopwatch for how long you’ve been meditating for. 3. the bell fade option should have a setting where you can choose your own time (not just defaulted to 2 minutes. but overall, this app is great! hopefully the developers can take these suggestions into account and make it even better :) ### 5/5 — Simple & relaxing *2022-12-05, version 1.2* This is a nice basic app that helps you get into deeper, more calming breathing patterns. I enjoy the sound cues and image to help me sync up my breathing. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
