It teaches you to be calm and not to sweat the small stuff. Highly recommended for those who do not meditate or practice Yoga. Just relax and take control of your breathing. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2018-10-13, version 2.2* Really useful for me. ### 5/5 — Good app *2018-10-12, version 2.2* Good ### 4/5 — New *2018-08-24, version 1.8* Interesting ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I’m disappointed with this app *2019-12-26, version 8.0.19* I’ve downloaded and deleted this app about 4 times for the simple reason that it never can sense my finger over the sensor camera. And I know it’s not my phone because I have several other breathing apps that ask for the same thing and it finds and tracks it instantly. Only this app it doesn’t **Developer response:** Hi, we're so sorry to hear you are having trouble with our app. In order to ensure accurate and fully functioning measurement results, we advise to follow the instructions given on the app carefully. As we use a unique measurement technology, our calibration is more detail-oriented and requires more accurate measurement than other apps, which is why slight movement of the finger could already disturb your measurement. That being said, we are continuously working with our experts in the team to improve our measurement. Please feel free to email us at support@kenkou.de should you require more assistance. ### 1/5 — Too bad... *2018-09-12, version 2.0* Couldn't even get the app started. In trying to fill out the profile, I entered 230 pounds multiple times and every time it stored 509 pounds. Tried lowering weight to 210 and it recorded 467, possibly like it was converting to pounds from kg, but the display said pounds. Anyway, it's unusable in its current state. I'll change the rating when it's debugged. **Developer response:** Hi and thank you very much for sharing your testing results, we will fix it for the next release in 2 days. Your Kenkou Team ### 1/5 — Not accurate *2017-10-18, version 1.6* Heart rate not even close to being correct!!!! Having a pacemaker and this app showing my heart rate at 101 bpm Is impossible, I do good at it maintaining 60 bpm ### 1/5 — No compatible with iPhone 7 Plus *2017-08-03, version 1.6* This app does not work properly with the iPhone 7 Plus since it has two camera lens which is different from the iPhone 6s... ### 1/5 — Unreliable, no support - not interested *2016-12-13, version 1.5* Good idea, shame about its implementation. They claim it 'provides accuracy above medical standards ' but that is not my experience. Other apps give very diffeent results from this app, therefore it cannot be trusted. I took a lot of trouble to give them feedback and engage them in dialogue but they have never replied. My offer stands. I don't think they're interested, which is a shame because it's a very good idea but not reliable enough or functional enough to be of any real use. ### 2/5 — History *2019-04-04, version 3.3* Must record history in app not login and upload ### 2/5 — Crashes *2017-08-09, version 1.6* App crashes at launch. Please fix IOS 10.3.3 ### 3/5 — It’s good, but needs to work with the watch *2020-12-07, version 8.1.6* This would be a lot better if they’d connect to the Apple Watch. I’ll check back in the future and try again if it will work with the heart rate variability from the watch. ### 4/5 — Review of Ap *2019-06-16, version 3.7* I do like this ap and how it measures my heart rate and stress index. I do wish I could get a history without buying a package, at least for a trial period to see if I feel it’s a benefit. I feel the same about an exercise program. Offer it free for a short period of time, then if the customer finds it helpful, offer up a subscription. **Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to send us a review, we really appreciate it and are glad to hear you like our app and the stress measurements. We will take your feedback into account for future subscription models, and hope you continue enjoying the Stress Guide. ### 4/5 — Great *2018-11-27, version 2.7* Helpful ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love this app *2021-04-29, version 8.1.6* Stress is a $300B profit killer.
