About this app

ichoiceRelax uses continuous and accurate heart rate readings to guide you into a state of relaxation to help reduce your stress, calm you down and improve health and focus. Find your inner balance with ichoiceRelax.

ichoiceRelax must be used with an iChoice fingertip heart rate sensor. The fingertip sensor sends continuous heart rate readings to the app to help coach and guide you to breathe at your ideal relaxation breathing rate.

Everyone’s physiology is different and each person will have their own ideal relaxation breathing rate based on their current mindset. Your live heart rate readings (obtained by the heart rate sensor) will help personalize exercises and guide you to breathe at the rate that is ideal for you to achieve maximum calmness. Our app synchronizes with your physiology giving you a personalized result.

Ratings and reviews

One star is generous, you can't give zero. The main problem is that you cannot set the breathing pace, and their device uses a proprietary interface that won't connect with the many useful HRV apps that do let you set your breathing pace. Further, there are no statistics. It doesn't give a hint of your HRV over the course of a session, nor does it store any scores from previous sessions. Apparently, progress in unimportant. It galling that it doesn't give useful statistics. They clearly spent a lot of time on the nice music, and the fancy pictures (pretty, but without any purpose). Overall the if they added an option to allow the user to set the breath pace, kept the music, and added a simple graphic to show your breath pace and where you are in the cycle, it could become useful, as the device itself seems well made.

I just installed the app on my old Samsung Galaxy A10e and tried it out. It works perfectly. The visuals are beautiful, and the music, sounds of nature, and the soothing vocals are super calming and relaxing. Now, I need to buy an external speaker so that I can put it by my bedside to help me fall asleep. Thank you for this wonderful device.

Will not pair (Bluetooth) with OX200 even though it seems it. No pairing, no connection, no data.... I agree with others, app asked for way more permissions than necessary. Removing from my phone and will not bother to try a later version. Not worth it. [edit] After being told to try again, it still does not pair. (Yes, it is on my finger). Even if it did work, the permissions required by the app are excessive. Deleting app. Using device standalone.
