Contact Breathing Exercises Breathe Support

by Anxious Commuter

I bought the app. It would be great if I could customize the vibration and sound to be less, the loudness of the app makes me anxious- but I have no other option but to use it. It’s very abrupt too- it’s not gentle. I also want to be able to have it on in the background- so I don’t have to leave my phone screen on and waste battery every time I use it. I really like what it does- I just want to be able to use it in conjunction with my relax melodies app sounds. That way I can use it on a commute. Please please can you guys add this to an update? It would take it to the next level. I really hope the developers read the reviews.

Very simple, beautiful and effective. Exactly what I was looking for in a (box breathing) app. I like the color variety and the ability to set the prompts to vibrate because I often hold my phone in my hand while breathing. No noise. No distractions. No counting in my head. Reminders and stats are a plus. But the real treasure is its simplicity. This app lives on my home screen and I use it many times a day.

I updated my review to three stars for a few reasons: there is only one option for sound and that one option has crackling in the audio no matter how high the volume is. It’s not a very pleasant sound at all and can’t be customized. Also, the stats feature is lacking in many areas. It’s basically a bare bones feature. I would like to see some future development on this but I won’t hold my breath.

Finally, an Apple Watch companion. Apple’s own breathe app can’t be set up to do box breathing.

This app has been very helpful to me, especially since I suffer from fibromyalgia. I often have chest pains that make it difficult and tremendously painful to breathe. This is the only thing that I have found that can make the pain go away and help me breathe normally. It also helps me calm down and breathe when I’m feeling anxious or having a panic attack.

The animation of waves and the vibrations make the breathing routines easy to follow and relaxing.

However, I do wish that the app allowed me to set more times for the app to remind me to do a breathing session. Why just 4? Why not unlimited? Also, I wish the notifications made a sound, because simply popping up on my screen is not enough to get my attention.
