Love this except for one thing… I really love that I can adjust the timing of inhale and exhale on this app. Plus you can adjust whether you want narration and music which is great. Unfortunately for me, you can only adjust the timing of inhales and exhales up to 9 counts. My ideal timing would be 7.5 for inhales and 13 for exhales so this doesn’t work for me.
Previous version was better While the app has been updated, it lost some functionality. For example, I used to be able to set the inhale/exhale times to 12 seconds. Now it limits you to nine seconds. For people who have strong breathing practices, this is a real limit.

Ruined by App Update I used to use this app daily- I would say it was the best of its category, but now it is unusable. It will go to lock screen by your third breath.

Disappointed in latest version The music is so loud I can’t hear the voice instruction and I miss the large side metronome. Why so many changes at once? I am a Speech Therapist and have many disappointed clients. Please go back to the original version, I am begging you!

monotonous There is no choice if voice. She says the very same things over and over again. There is no progression to a higher/different stage when you press “proceed.” To what am I proceeding?
Breath of Life Great app and it does works for reminding me to remain breathing and to relax
Breath to relax is the best Very calming
Easy to use Easy to use and helped me understand why everyone always recommends controlled breathing during stressful situations.
Quick and Easy I have taken meditation training and I think this is a great app for beginners. There is no "thinking" just listen and follow.
Amazing app helps a lot I just started. I told my therapists about my anxiety she told me to use this app. It calms me down. Love this app.
