Close!
I just came back to this app after a year or so away. The sound on the ‘out breath’ hold cuts off abruptly and really disrupts my flow. I’d ask that this be fixed. Navigating to the settings is a little clunky - I mash the interface until it eventually seems to take me to the page where I can adjust the desired breath pace. Amazing tool. Awesome company. This version needs some work.

Has Potential, But Not There Yet
The waveform is cut off at the end of the out breath hold. Causes a pop and noticeable audio jump to the in breath portion. As others have mentioned, this works against the meditative experience.
Sounds like this happens because the out breath hold is queued too late. App developers need to jump back in the code and move the fade-in up a half or full second.
Disappointing because I have been enjoying the Unbeatable Mind challenge. Until this is fixed, I recommend finding another box breathing app.

Great idea, terrible execution
Firstly, $10 for a basic counter app is a lot. But worse, it's really not optimised well. There's an audio glitch with the voice (Which is really harsh and artificial for a meditation app) talks over itself as it doesn't have enough space to say the words. There is a second audio glitch on the music (Which you can't turn off) where it cuts itself off and audibly glitches at the end of every round (16 seconds). Even basic user testing would have caught this.

Unbeatable box breathing App
This breathing app by an unbeatable mind is incredible and empowering to use. Gamifying it with levels keeps me interested in using the app daily. Thanks Team sealift.
Great app. Watch support??
Love the app, have been using it for years hope they make a Apple Watch application soon
Could use an update
Basic/Simple platform, doesn’t have much in the way of gradual improvement. I set a custom level and have changed it myself when I found it getting too easy. There is an annoying voice over count down that can’t be turned off. I thought this would have more to it coming from the unbeatable llc. Suggest trying another app.

Used to be great
I used to love this app. Can you please bring back the original sounds? I can’t distinguish these new sounds when I’m trying to meditate
Bring back original sounds
I just got ready to take my team through a session and we all freaked out with the new sounds. They make no sense and make me want to find a different app.
Love the app but I miss the previous sound
Good app for BoxBreathing however I miss the sound from the previous version.
Last update is just wrong
Last update ruined the app entirely. Nothing works.
Dev guys, really?

If it ain’t broke
This app was my go-to before all the updates- the tones were perfect and soothing. The new sounds feel disjointed. Please provide option for other sounds!
Used to love this app
The new sound scheme is distracting and causes a disjointed feel with the break between phases of breathing. The old method was calming and smooth.
I’ve recommended this app to dozens of other people. A number of them brought up this same concern about the latest update.
My advice would be to offer new things without taking away the existing option.

Why do they ruin a good thing?
The latest app update basically ruined this app for me. Why do they insist on changing what works? Are the developers just bored? The sounds used to be a very intuitive inhaling sound for breathing in, a hold, then a very intuitive exhaling sound. It made perfect sense, and helped me keep pace and timing - intuitively. But now, each phase is a means less monotone, you don’t know what phase you are in, and then there is a silent gap between each section. WHY?! It makes absolutely no sense, and ruins the whole experience. Can we change it back? Because I’m finding another app.

Latest update is a disaster
I am giving 1 star after the latest upgrade- only way I can use is to use custom one. Previous version was so good, just one problem- this does not connect with Apple Health. Hence all the breathing I do, is never captured
RUINED (again!)
These developers don't know when to STOP! They took a fantastic app and RUINED it by changing the sound prompts. The prompts were perfect and now they are useless -- they are unpleasant sounding and practically indistinguishable. They made a similar mistake this past summer but then then reverted back to the original sound prompts. At give us the option to choose the original sound prompts along with your new idea of an "upgrade," which is actually a downgrade that ruined the app.

Used to be better
There were some weird changes—I can no longer make a custom level and certain levels are locked. The new colors are cool but that’s about it. No instructions for the app settings, no explanation of what changes were made. There are even typos on the listings... Used to be one of my favorite apps.

Reset
Downloaded new version. History erased. Can only unlock up to level 4. Old app I could set the sides at my level of practice (17-20). Apparently I have to unlock every level in sequence with the update? Or am I missing a simple bypass to unlock the level i want? I just see little locks on other levels and don’t like it.

Great - but a bug...
I think this is a great app. I rate the creators highly for wanting to produce an app that encourages people to make full use of their breath. And I also like the idea of heaving a belt- rating system.
One question I have is: why there is only one sound available? I can modify the voice prompts and there’s a separate screen for choosing sound- but only one option, and you can’t change it!
Would get 5 stars if it weren’t for this.

Mark.
Used the app for several years now, then the update came along! Lost all of the stats from before and now I can’t progress past level 4. Previous version was much better, not impressed with this new version at all.
Suggestions
I was looking forward to using the App, I have the following suggestions:
1) could you please provide the option of left to right AND right to left on the breathing flow.
2) I don’t want to look at the phone to give clues where am I in the breathing cycle. If you can please provide sound clues (bell, ring, sound, etc) as we move through the four breathing cycles.
Thank you
