I like the idea of this app, but I am not able to successfully navigate the options and offerings. I find no explanations , just the graphics I don't comprehend. I follow the breathing technic and find the focus is compelling but the pacing is faster than I am really comfortable with and I am not in a natural rhythm. Thank you for creating the app and I am sure my thoughts shared here are in the minority. jc

Hannah Simons

I love this app and use it every day. I have M.E. and often find it hard to slow down my breathing. I use meditation practices to help me to rest and recover and after using some YouTube breathing exercises I wanted to find an app to help me to continue this practice. I tried a few breathing apps and this was by far the best. I like that you can tailor it to suit you, changing sounds, screen colours, and breath timings. The set up is a little confusing at first but I watched the video instructions and it clarifies everything. The sounds are unobtrusive and calming. I feel like I'm making real progress with this app in altering my default rapid breathing patterns. Its also really reasonably priced for a year's subscription. Thanks!

Angela West

I loved this app so much that I got the paid version, and it's totally worth it. I'm currently using the planet theme, cat purr metronome, and the deep om transitions, and it is amazingly calming. It's great to use at work and before bedtime. As someone with major anxiety problems, this is exactly what I needed. Keep up the great work!

Bonnie Siu

This app is easy, effective, simple and straight forward to use. I use it first thing in the morning to stop anxiety attacks for PTSD instead of meds. I set it to 15 mins Clear Mind, paces my breathing effortlessly. Love Prana Breathing :D <3

Daniel Lopez

I need some help please. Any of the exercises somehow change the breathing pattern after it starts. For example, I start anti-appetite, it automatically does three patterns: inhale, exhale, and sustain. Then, in a cycle or two, the pattern changes to: inhale and exhale only. Am I doing something wrong? Is it suppose to change patterns? Thank you for the great work you guys do.

Shalom Fisher

This is the best breath app I could find after much research. It is programmable to a high degree and that is a huge plus, but also requires that one take time to do so. Having many options may complicate things for inexperienced app users. The only suggestion I have is to allow programming the preparation time as well so that one can have as much as a 30 minute delay before beginning the practice. Thanks for this excellent app and for making it awesome even free without upgrade... though I plan to do that simply to compensate the maker for such a great contribution!

Jennifer, that's why we have FAQ section, as well as detailed wiki. So you can find lots of helpful info here: http://pranabreath.info/wiki/index.php/Prana_Breath_Wiki And about the pace, make sure you choose the right training complexity: http://pranabreath.info/wiki/index.php/Training_complexity

Bonnie, thank you very much!

Daniel Lopez July 6, 2017

Oleksandr Albul January 16, 2017

Daniel, thanks! The thing you're experiencing is absolutely normal - it is called Dynamic mode of the training. It's very useful for gradual improvement in breathing gymnastics. You can read more here: http://pranabreath.info/wiki/index.php/Dynamic_tab

Shalom Fisher August 10, 2017

Oleksandr Albul August 11, 2017

Shalom, thanks for your detailed feedback! Preparation time is now 10 sec maximum, as I doubt if anyone looks at the screen for that long before starting the breathing session. Anyway, you can set 2 reminders: 30 min before and right before the practice.

Ann Dwyer September 16, 2017

I have really grown to love this app. I even upgraded to the paid version and it has been well worth it. The choices in breathing techniques are amazing. There's even exercises for singers. I just recently discovered the breathing tests so now I can see my improvements. Most importantly, I used this app to stop a panic attack. I was in a bad state and not even sure it would help, but I tried it. It didn't work right away, but within 5 minutes, I was calmer and able to focus on what I needed to. Do I thank you for giving me control any time, anywhere.

Tomsin Adeyefa June 25, 2017

This app is fantastic! I'm a big guy and landed in hospital for panic attack due to work related stress which has never happened to me before. I was desperate to put my back in order in a natural way and found this amazing app. Now I never have to worry about not only work stress but I'm the most chilled person after each session of clear mind 💯

Oleksandr Albul June 26, 2017

Tomsin, that's great you're using this natural remedy, thanks for sharing your experience! I'm glad it works well for you, so have a great time practicing!

July 5, 2017

Great App, but Google Play has lost my reviews twice now... and as I'm in HDU unit of a hospital and in a lot of pain I'm not going to write it all again!! Sorry developers, you're doing a great job. Carry on ✅✅✅

Oleksandr Albul July 18, 2017

Emmanuella, thank you! Get well soon!

Alexis Anderson June 13, 2017

I love the app, however I am experiencing a bug. The sound is dropping out totally a couple of cycles into a breathing set. Sometimes it comes back in again but mostly just gone. I have recently upgraded my OS to android nougat so maybe this is an issue?

Oleksandr Albul June 16, 2017

Alexis, looks like it's your case: http://pranabreath.info/wiki/index.php/FAQ#Sounds_not_working.3F (second screenshot set) Please let me know if it worked.

Asia Wilcox July 4, 2017

I love what the app offers and I think its wonderful. The only reason why it didn't get 5 stars is because I have to go to a wiki link online whenever I want to learn about the benefits of a particular breathing practice. If this information was included within the app, it would be PERFRCT!

Oleksandr Albul July 18, 2017

Asia, thanks! Wiki is available in english only, and if I integrated it in the app, I would have to have it translated to other 15 languages as well, which is next to impossible for me. Thanks for understanding!

Kimberly Taylor August 21, 2017

This app makes breath training attainable for a beginner like me. It has really helped me learn how to actually breathe deep, and relax. It's made big difference to my meditation practice, after years of trying it helped things click for me. It's easy to use and it works!

Oleksandr Albul August 25, 2017

Kimberly, thank you!

Amber Scott August 4, 2017

Brilliant! An ADD person's dream app. The visual guide as well as the ticking of each second audibly, allows one to drift into the rhythm of their breath, while keeping the brain mildly occupied. The first goal being only 7 mins and building from there makes mastery of breath and mental focus a very reachable goal over time. Simple, yet ultra powerful.

Oleksandr Albul August 7, 2017

Amber, thanks a lot! I'm glad it works well for you!

Creedance Middleton August 1, 2017

This app is wonderful because you can create your own breathing session that's fit for you. This app is very calming. As someone who suffers from chronic depression and anxiety I would suggest it to anyone in need of healing.

Oleksandr Albul August 4, 2017

Creedance, thanks a lot!

Shelby Fredrickson August 16, 2017

It really helps me focus on my breathing and so many settings. It may help you if u have anxiety or smoke a lot of weed and need to focus on your lungs. Love this app

Oleksandr Albul August 25, 2017

Shelby, thank you!

Herman Kaljo August 10, 2017

Had been looking for an app like this for a long time. Got the lifetime guru version and I am not regretting that decision. The best breathing practice app out there! Love the ability to custom everything too.

Oleksandr Albul August 11, 2017

Herman, thanks a lot!

Garima Negi July 1, 2017

This without any doubt is an excellent app. Definitely helpful for just anyone. Because they let you design your own breath cycles as well. The pace and length you are comfortable. And music is so calming. Must have app. BREATH IS WHAT KEEPS US ALIVE,. Use this app to seize maximum of your BREATH, relax, calming down, balance, etc. Love this.

Oleksandr Albul July 18, 2017

Garima, thanks a lot!

Nimal Raveendran August 17, 2017

Very useful breathing exercise. The progressive changes in the inhale, exhale and breath hold in the regular usage really improved the lung capacity in my case. In addition at the end of each session I feel so relaxed and happy.

Oleksandr Albul August 25, 2017

Nimal, thank you!

bwadoom September 13, 2017

This is a truly perfect app in my opinion. It's everything I wanted it to be. This app will bring you to a meditative state just by simply following the instructions. Amazing. Can't recommend this app enough. It will change your life.

September 15, 2017

I love that it's free. I have a lot of health problems; many of which revolve around my lungs. I just started yet am beginning to feel the benefits of these practices.

William Colwell July 3, 2017

I love the effects produced by using this app. I'll do 2 exercises in a row and I'm left feeling so centred and at times euphoric. Best use of a smartphone ever.

Oleksandr Albul July 18, 2017

William, thanks a lot!

Michael Frank September 5, 2017

Best I've found so far. Excellent online supplemental info too. But the sound glitches affect the experience sometimes. It would be absolutely perfect if those were fixed.

Oleksandr Albul September 10, 2017

Michael, could you please tell me more details about the glitches you're experiencing? I need to know more details in order to do something with it.

Elizabeth Little August 18, 2017

This is such a delight to use! I look forward to every notification for so many reasons: from loving the animations to the huge array of customizable colors and sounds and different feels to it, to all that I am learning that I never had a clue about before. I wanted to treat myself to an air break to counter my smoking cravings and boy am I hooked! No more smokes for years now, but wanted the feeling of a break, and rejuvenation. I started with the recommended clear mind and am doing like they say: to begin with only a few to get going with it and then branch out from there. I can't believe how quickly I feel and see progress, too. I think the instructions are extremely clear for someone who never knew. In just a small amount of time of reading & watching here & there, I've gained such clear understanding of this practice from just one app, without needing any further study. I love it so much that I can't wait to start using their other two apps. Oh, and I bought it for life as well, and its worth so much more than I paid! I could go on! Thank you so much to the souls that made this happen for me. 5 stars, A+++. Good luck in all you do! Very truly yours, Elizabeth

Oleksandr Albul August 25, 2017

Elizabeth, thank you very much! I am so glad the app betters the quality of your life - it's exactly what I have created it for!

Andrés Potapczynski August 24, 2017

Great design. It runs wihtout the battery screen on, it has over 8 different breathing patterns with different difficulties on the free version (the Guru version has even more) and nice visualizations and sounds. Also, it is cheap!

Oleksandr Albul August 26, 2017

Andrés, thank you!

Exe Quiroz July 2, 2017

I think it is useful, funny and efective. Sometime I really have problems to concentrat me in a meditation but the sounds in this app helps a lot. Good work. Congratulations and thank you.

Oleksandr Albul July 18, 2017

ExeCute, thank you!

Snow White Queen June 26, 2017

Love it! I use it everyday, I use the clear your mind option and it works I love it. Thank you so much it has helped with stress and anxiety.

Oleksandr Albul June 26, 2017

Snow White, thank you! I'm glad it helps you!

Pavel Tsekhotsky July 26, 2017

Amazing app. I use it in personal practice and during classes - works much better than metronome. Really helpful. The only think I would like to have is clear distinguish between inhale and exhale sounds - when I make classes, I'm not always follow breathing, but need to understand at every moment on which cycle people are, ideally would be to simply hear that.

Oleksandr Albul August 1, 2017

Pavel, thank you. You can use "Male voice" or "Female voice" as phase transition sound style, so you can actually hear the name of a phase started.

Santhosh Prassana July 11, 2017

Good app except that the training does not pause when the phone rings and you need to take the call. This is a must have feature. Hope to see this worked out soon. What I liked most was that you can customise the training. The music is good, the info on the wiki pages is brief and to the point. Thanks folks, appreciate the good work.

Oleksandr Albul July 18, 2017

Santhosh, unfortunately, it's impossible according to Android policy, I've checked. You can pause the training during incoming call using the button in the notification area. Thanks for your feedback!

Bharat Patel June 16, 2017

As Mind Trainer, I use application for better meditation with my clients... So better and better result.. I check with Neurofeedback EEG Device also... Before use and after use this application.. So nice result

Oleksandr Albul June 16, 2017

Bharat, thank you! Using EEG devices is of big interest for me right now, so I would really appreciate, if you'd like to share some more details about your experience.

L August 27, 2017

Amazing but simple. The breathing can help me reduce anxiety even while I'm doing something else at the same time.

Oleksandr Albul September 1, 2017

L, thank you!

Dorothy Coleman July 18, 2017

i LoVe it. i have been using this app over a year now. best way to keep me focused on my breath. BEST PRANA APP OUT THERE

Oleksandr Albul April 8, 2016

Dorothy, I'm glad you know what to do to minimize your stress now!

Ma. Cristina Castellanos Gómez June 8, 2017

I always use it right after I wake up. It's replacing my morning coffee!

Oleksandr Albul June 9, 2017

Ma. Cristina, that's great! Thanks for writing here!

Lynne Baxter September 4, 2017

It is not the most user friendly for a newbie but the actual exercises are great. It should have an intro and a tutorial not FAQS. ..have never got in a rhythm with it as is very easy with eg Duolingo.

Oleksandr Albul September 10, 2017

Lynne, thanks for your suggestions! Anyway, as an indie developer I do what I can

Mulalo Ramagoma August 8, 2017

Loved it before I've used this app before losing my phone, I hope if there's any changes made, it's the better. I rate it at 4 for the time bein

Kathleen Micros August 4, 2017

I like that there are different training types, such as relax or calm. I also like the different levels, which increase the challenge. I've learned a lot and have improved my overall health from fatigue.

Oleksandr Albul August 7, 2017

Kathleen, thanks for your feedback!

Lachlan Wilson August 17, 2017

Great app! Simple and effective. I have been using the clear mind module, 10 minutes every day for a month. This has significantly improved mental and physical health.

Oleksandr Albul August 25, 2017

Lachan, thank you!

TracyLee Becker June 7, 2017

It's a nice app would have given it 5 stars but I can't shut off the background music without loosing the gong too.

Oleksandr Albul June 9, 2017

TracyLee, actually it is possible, please look through this article: http://pranabreath.info/wiki/index.php/Sounds_tab

Brett C August 26, 2017

Excellent app. Would be nice to have vibrations when it's time to switch from inhale/retain/exhale/sustain. It used to have this feature, so I could use it without staring at the screen or having the sounds on. Can I still do this? If so, how?

Oleksandr Albul September 1, 2017

Brett, there is vibro style available for phase transition sound, please look in Sounds tab.

Sanjay Kulkarni September 16, 2017

With huge study and collecting maximum resources the developer has developed this app for health conscious humans,also while training you can have pleasure of meditation also if done with headphones on. Only suggestion that club Sudarshan/Shaktikriya technique used by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar or Sri Sri Sudarshanji Maharaj.

Piotr Tymoszuk August 1, 2017

Excellent breathing app for asthma and depression combined :-) Good graphics and superb SOUNDS. After trying this I'm going to try some proper mindfulness meditation. Good work

Oleksandr Albul August 4, 2017

Piotr, thank you!
