      Based on the ancient principles of Tai Chi and mindfulness practice, PAUSE brings the act of focused attention to your mobile device. Using a patent-pending technique and a unique approach to modern technology, you can easily start the journey to relaxation – anywhere and anytime. By slowly and continuously moving your fingertip across the screen, PAUSE triggers the body’s ‘rest and digest’ response, quickly helping you regain focus and release stress within minutes. The calming audiovisual feedback in the app is designed to help you keep your attention and focus in the present moment. Throughout development of the application, PAUSE has been continuously tested and validated using EEG-technology.

      What is PAUSE?
      - an interactive tool to quickly regain focus and release stress
      - a new digital approach to ancient meditation practices
      - available anywhere and anytime.
      - scientifically tested and validated with EEG-technology.

      PAUSE is a collaboration between digital product studio ustwo and Danish mental wellness company PauseAble.

      I am very impressed with this app. It provides a nice alternative focus to the breath when meditating yet provides me with as much or more results as far as focus, mindfulness, and calm. I do wish the difficulties were a little more strict to the speed and to any change in speed. I was able to go to Master after only two short sessions on lower difficulties, and I am certainly no master meditator. Well worth the purchase, though, and a great alternative to my Headspace guided meditation app. Well done.

      Thank you for this app. I've been having a tough time focusing on meditation. This app makes it easier. Moving your finger along very slightly while closing your eyes is engaging enough but at the same time doesn't require so much brain power that it distracts you from actually meditating. Good balance. I use it to fall asleep at night too. Highly recommended. I would give it a 5 star rating if it had a bit more variety. I'm hoping they've got some more ideas for future updates.

      I bought this product because Google Store indicates that it is compatible with my device. It installed well but unfortunately it does not work. The message reads: "Your hardware does not support this application, sorry!" I contacted the Google Store and they say they are not responsible for the product. I contacted Ustwo to some email addresses I found. Nobody answers. Waste of money :(

      Pause is methodical, zen and relaxing in every way that matters most. I can spend one minute, or ten, immersed in my headphones, unwinding my tensions in a way I never thought possible. Pause is beautiful, both to look at and to listen to, and I couldn't recommend a better relaxation technique; especially one that incorporates elements of tai chi.

      Queried an issue June 2016, no response. No updates to the app in a year. It appears the Devs have gone onto bigger and better things... Which is a real shame as this app is kind of genius. Certainly one of the best meditation apps I have found. but it is completely let down by irritating distracting flaws and uninterested Devs.

      Found Zen in a matter of minutes I wasn't sure what to expect, but I've been subject to a fast and increasingly stressful mind in recent times. I keep meaning to take up meditation, but keep putting it off. My first Pause session lasted almost 5 mins, but even 1 minute in I could feel my breathing slow and my shoulders relax. I was surprised this was so effective! Thanks Ustwo and Peng Cheng for Pause, totally worth the price for a bit of inner peace. Enjoyed your blog entry on its creation!

      This app is addictive and provides a cathartic experience set to very calming music. Building the blob with your finger is cool, too. You listen to the waves lapping and the birds chirping while crowding out the thoughts and fears that eat away at you daily.

      Nothing special Really, it is repetitive and predictable. I have to keep my finger on the screen or else the timer will stop and I will have to start everything from the beginning, and this actually makes me tense

      Not bad Quite relaxing but within 2 minutes the circle gets so big it completely fills the screen making it a bit pointless. Maybe needs an update to account for different screen sizes. Audio mute option would be good also.

      nice app with one suggestion Thanks for this lovely app. It would be good if, when you closed your eyes and, removed your finger, that the music died down much more slowly and not so abruptly to help continue the sensation. Otherwise such a lovely simple app. Thank you

      Ustwo does it again! But this time, with something a bit different. I was skeptical at first, but after doing a three minute pause, I was calm somehow. Maybe it was the music, or maybe it was the subtle and slow movement of my thumb, but whatever it was, it calmed me down and helped me avoid an Anxiety attack. Didn't get rid of the anxiety, but it did stop me from having an attack. Technology for mental health. Who knew? :D

      Zen This app creates a sense of mind full relaxation. The motions of moving your finger across the screen seems to create a pattern and focusing on the pattern... without controlling it becomes meditation.

      This is the best relaxation app out there Most of the reciews here classify this app as an arcade type of game that you have to do something. This is not the point. The point is that it is not supposed to be anything special, but rather relax and calm yourself with the experience provided.

      Promising Looks and feels promising, will need to use it for a bit longer to find out if it works. The interface could use some feedback though about how long one has been pausing and how long there is left, after a while I felt like an idiot moving my finger over the screen with my eyes closed ;).

      Need help learning to meditate? I wish this existed 15 years ago when I first started trying to learn how to meditate. It allows you to still have thoughts, but you can't hold onto them because you have to focus on maintaining contact with the org on-screen. I love it!
