Don't always want to look at your timer during lessons or in your practice? Still keep track of your times! Let this light signal-based timer be your visual guide! As a yoga teacher or practitioner, it is always important to keep an eye on your times. In Kundalini yoga in particular, it is often important to guide participants through the duration of the exercises. We have equipped this timer with light signals and other helpful features so that you can preset your times individually, call them up quickly and keep an eye on them with little effort. The interval between the signals shortens as the exercise draws to a close. The signals can be a flashing of the screen or a lighting up of the camera flash as well as a vibration of the device. Of course, the end of the exercise can also be signaled with a sound. Apple EULA: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pranayama Helper at none against LightUp's 10. Pranayama Helper also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). LightUp's advantage is iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.2). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
