5 stars for app architecture. Down to 4 stars for ads.— It’s one thing to have ad banners (unless you pay the nominal price to remove them) but when the ad takes over a given page with no way out but to shutdown and restart the app, it’s too much. So, I paid to have the distraction of ads removed. Down to 3 stars for continuing to ask for money in the form of a “tip jar”-an after-breathing-reflection-moment distraction for sure. In an era when consumers are constantly bombarded with requests for tips in even the most unlikely of venues, it would seem that a fair-trade price for a product or service would be sufficient and, well,…fair. Update: After paying the price to remove ads, the In-app tip-jar says tipping “any amount” will remove the tip-jar button that pops up after a breathing session. You can choose between 4 tipping options: $ .99, 1.99, 4.99 and 9.99…
1) These options prevent the choice of tipping “any amount”. 2) The developer’s response to my original review indicates a tip as low as $.50 will remove the tip-jar button. Hmmm, I don’t see that option.

-saw you replied, looking forward to the update! Also hope I didn’t sound too critical haha. It is a solid app. I may have sounded too harsh with my comments on the visuals. My own personal use of the app leans towards the audio and vibrations, but there are times that I have found myself dependent on the visuals (like if I’m in a public place). So it’s been a great mix. But definitely looking forward to the update!

For example. I love reading books on my phone and it would be great to be able to use this app while reading my book. Right now the breathing sessions pause when I try to use other apps. What’s important is the timer and the intervals, I don’t need to see the visual at all really. Most times I have my eyes closed anyway because I primarily switch between the inhales, exhales, holds based on the vibration or audio cues. So the intervals, audio & vibrations could be used in the background when I read my books you know what I mean? It also drives me nuts that I have to have the screen on completely to use the app. I don’t understand why it’s not like any music app, where the audios/vibrations can still operate when the screen is off.

This is very close to what I’m looking for an a breathing app.

The interface is not quite as intuitive as I’d like, but I was able to navigate it after a few ministers of pressing menu items. I’d like to see a few tweaks I think would make the app more useful.

•Adding a .25s delay after pressing Start and after each bell or interval change signal would make me feel less rushed to sync with the different intervals. As it is I feel I’m “chasing” the ball and not in sync with it. This would also help with latency when using my HomePod for the audio.

•Adding a double chine of the bell (which sounds quite nice btw) to signal the end of a breathing session would tell me of session’s end when breathing through my eyelids.

•Adding multiple notifications would allow me to set 3 or 4 sessions throughout the day to settle my breathing and mind.

I’ve looked at several other apps and none come as close to meeting my preferences as this one. 99¢ to removed ads is a great value, and thankfully, they don’t appear during the breathing sessions. All in all, this is a very clean app, elegant in it’s simplicity. I’m happy to have found it.
