Ratings and reviews

This is the app you need if you don't want to meditate & still have to reduce stress. I used this years ago to reduce my bp. I am looking for it again for my nephew who has to reduce stress for his MS. Unlike other reviews state, you don't pay for it & if the voice is annoying, swipe left to get the settings panel & either change the voice or turn off sound. I recommend leaving voice on until you get the gist of how it works. It works on the parasympathetic nervous system. it really does work!

Love the app- only one major bug for me or I'd give 5 stars- the breathing will literally stop if my phone isn't on *and* in the app, at the same time. If I open the app or turn the screen back on, it starts again. Very frustrating if you're trying to meditate, or even do breathing exercises while doing anything else on your phone.

Simple and clean interface for a breathing app. Recommended by my physio to aid relaxation. Especially recommended is the "extended exhale" setting at low breaths per minute. I encountered an issue where the latest Android OS version was not yet supported. The developers were friendly and competent, responding politely when the update had been made.
