Really helpful
I got this app to help my 10-year-old deal with anxiety and panic attacks. It turns out that I use it as much as she has. Not only does it help me relax, but repeated sessions help quiet my mind and help me fall asleep. My only complaint if you could call it that – it’s actually a suggestion – is that options for 10 minutes, 15 minutes, and 20 minutes cycles be provided. I would prefer not to have to start the cycle over after every 16 breath session. However, it is amazing what can be accomplished in 16 breaths.

Excellent, Simple, Useful
This is a simple to use app that is an excellent tool to assist in breathing exercises. The only thing it doesn't do is breathe for you :)! It might be even a little better if the user could add their own personal background graphics and increase the amount of breathes in each session. Aside from that it is a five star app! Thanks for offering it for free.

Small annoying feature choices, not detract from overall usefulness
I see how current design doesn't need to be outright changed, but it would be nice to have an option for following features: * Manually set time for inhalation and exhalation instead of holding button, * Custom set for number of cycles, * Show cycles as minutes, * Show countdown on amount of time / number of breaths left, * More nature sounds or music options. It's a perfectly fine app, but I want to try for 5 minute sessions and none of the presets are for 2 1/2 min or 5, but I'll definitely make it work for a free app with the breathing metronome.
