Finally! An app that meets my simple needs! All I personally need is an app for breathing that i can change the pacing on, cheap or free. After about 12 apps, i had yet to find one where i could adjust the speed of the breathing prompts. My lungs are not in awesome shape, so i just cant maintain the ultra slow pace without getting light headed and more anxious because i need oxygen. This one lets me decide how long to breathe in, out, and set the pause! Its exactly what i needed!

The simple circle for guided breathing is good and being able to get to that part of the app quickly is important. No one wants a complicated or long setup process when they are on the verge of an anxiety or panic attack. Other apps add extra features that are fine for yoga or w/e but utterly ridiculous when you really need it. Anyway good app, it's one of the 1st apps I put on all my devices. Ahh, also I like being able to pre set your own color choice. Strongly recommended.

It's not easy, but this app trains you to experience and understand the fear and anxiety of a panic attack. It's scary as hell, but then you realize that you were in control the whole time. That's the secret, you're always in control! Once you learn not to let it progress, you feel better. Amazing app, I love it.
