My one complaint is that it does not track heart rate changes before and after a breathing session. After a session on my iwatch, the Summary begins with Heart rate change, but there is No data. The app is allowed to access my Health and add mindfulness minutes, but there is no option to allow it to access my heart rate. ### 3/5 — Super Laggy for Apple Watch 8 *2026-01-02, version 3.5.4* Paid user here, can’t believe how laggy in between the breathe in and out annotations is for an apple watch 8 which is not old at all. Can we please get some patches for this? ### 4/5 — I love it *2025-12-13, version 3.5.3* This app really improves My sleep very well ### 4/5 — iPhone app great; Watch app needs work *2025-11-03* Unwind would be 100% perfect if only it had stronger haptics on the watch, and/or voice prompts. As it is, it’s almost impossible to follow along on the watch because some of the cues are barely noticeable unless you’re actually watching the screen. ### 4/5 — Free app should be there *2025-10-31* It should be free for noble cause ### 5/5 — Excellent app—worth more than the price *2025-09-21, version 3.5.0* Does everything I want and need it to do, simply. Thank you! ### 5/5 — good *2025-09-05* good luck ### 5/5 — Excellent *2025-09-03, version 3.5.0* Minimalistic app that doesn’t try to sneakily sell you anything or promote trending content or anything. Just breathing. ### 5/5 — changed my life. *2025-08-20* everything makes sense now. I feel like i can actually control my breathing. Life just got better the moment i downloaded this app. will definitely purchase a life time subscription at some point. ### 5/5 — Nice *2025-08-14* Hello, your app is awesome and i love the design. I wanted to create a Wim Hof routine but I feel like we can’t use a block to only hold breath. It would be nice as well to add a minute time step when holding breath. ### 5/5 — Flexible Breathing Exercises *2025-07-14* This is among the better breathing exercise apps I have tried, and it’s the one I’m now using exclusively. I like the custom exercises for sure. Wish there were a few more options for prompts and visualizations, but it’s fine. Better than the iPhone native app for sure. ### 5/5 — Works Well *2025-06-26, version 3.5.0* Good app so far ### 5/5 — Simple app I can also customize *2025-06-08, version 3.5.0* I like that this app is not only simple, but I can also customize things for the breathing exercises I’d like to do. ### 5/5 — Beautiful breathing app *2025-05-20, version 3.5.0* Great haptics to assist breathing ### 5/5 — Just what I was looking for *2025-05-09, version 3.5.0* I wanted breathing exercises for relaxation where I could keep my eyes closed (headache) and rely on gentle voice and/or haptic vibrations. The has both. ### 5/5 — Really your problem *2025-04-29* Now everybody’s solution ### 5/5 — So grateful you removed the facebook trackers. Thank you *2025-04-22* I uninstalled the app. Used to be a great app, but in this age where more and more people are focused on privacy and security and for good reasons, why would you update your app and load it with facebook trackers?. Edit: Enjoying this wonderful app, offers a lot even without subscription. **Developer response:** The facebook advertising trackers have been removed in the latest version and will never be added again in the future. ### 5/5 — Amazing app for breathwork! *2025-04-18* Trust me when I say that this app tops all others for breathwork. I’ve used a lot of other apps, but this is the most polished and offers the most amount of customization. I really hope the developers continue to make improvements to the app, specifically with customizing. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — doesn't let you listen to your own music *2026-01-09, version 3.5.4* doesn't let you listen to your own music while medicating. I want to hear relaxing guitar while breathing ### 1/5 — Beware, now Loaded with facebook trackers! *2025-01-15, version 3.4.1* I uninstalled the app. Used to be a great app, but in this age where more and more people are focused on privacy and security and for good reasons, why would you update your app and load it with facebook trackers?. ### 1/5 — Pro 太贵了 *2025-01-14* App 体验很好，Pro 定价有点高 ### 1/5 — Restore Purchase *2025-01-02, version 3.4.1* Every single time you try to use the the app, although you paid, it requires you to pay again or “restore purchase” — This extra friction becomes extremely frustrating especially when trying to use a mindfulness-focused app. ### 1/5 — iPad *2021-04-18, version 2.4* Love it, but it would be nice to have it installed on my iPad. ### 2/5 — Add Chinese version *2024-12-30, version 3.4.1* I don’t know why Chinese version disappeared after update ### 2/5 — Let me use it for a minute *2024-10-30, version 3.4.0* Well… I used it for one exercise. Not sure I can give it a fair review so soon. Ya’ll should send this on the second day. ### 2/5 — Put free options behind paywall *2024-10-13, version 3.3.3* Used to be able to adjust the basics, but now you can’t - you can only use the too fast default settings. Other options out there so pass ### 2/5 — Apple Watch bug *2021-10-28* For some reason the sessions I do on my watch are not synced to the app on my phone ### 2/5 — Poor watch integration *2021-07-24, version 2.5.1* Wanted to use this app as a guide while meditating, the watch works and has haptic feedback but as soon the watch face goes dark the haptic stops and you have to open the watch again. Poor design that you have to constantly monitor the watch for it to work ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Nice App *2026-05-28* Great Design and a lovely voice 😊 ### 5/5 — Good *2026-05-08* Like overall app ### 5/5 — Perfect balance of robustness and simplicity *2026-03-15* I got sick of searching through enormously bloated meditation and breathing apps and was looking for something simpler and this is it! This app has the perfect balance between plenty of options without so many that it becomes overwhelming. It’s also beautifully designed and totally intuitive to use and navigate. Love it. I really hope the developer doesn’t fall into the trap of constant growth, this is perfect as is! ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2026-03-02, version 3.5.4* What a helpful amazing app! ### 5/5 — I 💛 Unwind! *2026-02-08, version 3.5.4* This app helped me create and maintain my meditation practice. I love the new update! Thanks for creating this wonderful product! ### 5/5 — good *2026-02-04* 这个app非常有趣，它能治好我的心情 ### 5/5 — Nice *2025-12-29* Cute app ### 5/5 — One of the best breathing apps *2025-12-13* This app stands out for many reasons. For one, the graphics and sounds are enchanting. The light rain, the different breathing icons, all customizable to your calming preferences. Also, it’s one of the few apps that does the Apple Watch right, and is so comforting to have on the ready. A few taps, and I’m able to do just about any type of grounding or breathing exercise I need for the moment. I also love that it shows a heart rate comparison before and after breathing, giving you real metrics that your breathwork helped. Finally, I had a few questions, and the developer responded immediately with help. He really cares about making sure you feel supported. I’m a huge fan all around and can’t wait to see how the app continues to evolve! ### 5/5 — Unwind *2025-12-04, version 3.5.2* I love the app helps me focus on my breathing so much better!😊 ### 5/5 — Daily routine *2025-11-23, version 3.5.2* This app reminds me to take a few minutes for myself to relax every day. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
