Breethe: Sleep & Meditation Reviews

I’ve been using this app for several months now, and it has helped me get to sleep so quickly! My use wasn’t as consistent during the first few weeks, but now I could hardly sleep without it!

I’ve only ever had one issue with it, the daily counter. This is the only reason I cannot give Breethe 5 stars. It should be optional to have it on the stats page or hidden, especially because it is not always accurate. At first, I didn’t care as my use wasn’t consistent, but eventually it was fun to watch the days add up. Until it reached the 40s, because then it would reset without reason. 43 one morning and back to 1 the very next. Thankfully my sleep app records, so I know I didn’t simply forget to turn this app on one day. This happened several times over the last year, then one day it finally reached 50, then 60, then 70...I thought the glitch was finally ironed out, and I grew more excited as the counter slowly approached 100. Yesterday, I reached 94 days of consistent use (and great sleep)...then was sorely let down this morning when the glitch returned, and the counter showed a large 1. 1!!! Needless to say, I’m perplexed and irked. Guys, please fix this!! Make the counter optional, and iron out this glitch! Please and thank you!!

But, everyone, the sounds and therapies on Breethe are so varied and diverse, and I do not regret purchasing it overall!!

Breethe has been a real asset to me. I didn’t know how to quiet my mind in order to meditate nor did I feel comfortable beginning on my own as I felt unsure of how to start. this app has not only shown me how to get started but helped me understand that random thoughts during meditation are completely normal. I also have issues with sleep, not being able to get to sleep or waking throughout the night unable to get back to sleep. The bedtime sessions on Breethe have helped me tremendously in this area. I did have the need to contact customer service on one occasion for assistance in upgrading my account to the 2 year service as I am so happy with the product. I wanted to use a 30% off discount they were offering if you wanted to gift the series to someone else. Customer service was so helpful even after I made an error in signing up for the new 2 year contract at the discount. They helped me through the process until everything was worked out. I truly cannot say enough good things about Breethe and their customer service. Give the free trial a try, you won’t be disappointed!

Wow... so here are all of the teachers that I follow Individually in one location. Not only is Breethe stunning to the eyes, along with the amazing musical arrangements, the content is not fluff but real quality information, real topics, I know because I follow these teachers and am familiar with the theories and information, so it’s not fluff. Right now I am going through an extremely extremely hard time in life, Breethe makes me feel like I am not alone, it is there reminding me of all of the things that I know. Makes me feel like I have the companionship I seriously need right now! It soothes me and calms me down. I also love the stories, puts me in a safe place while I relax. The price is well worth the body of work Breethe is comprised of. The functionality is great! It is giving me the extra support I need right now! I have recommended Breethe to many of my family members and a few of them has purchased it and they too love it! Take advantage of the trial period it you’re not sure, you won’t regret! I just wish this was a website so I could watch and listen on a big screen... ❤️

Lately I have found myself anxious about things that I used to do without even a thought like taking pills and driving at night. I consulted my doctor and he concluded that I suffered with anxiety and depression and wanted to place me on medication. For personal reasons I was resistant to that treatment plan and asked him if I could try meditation first and he agreed but still gave me a prescription just in case. Let me state emphatically that I believe it is your right to decide if you use medication and I think that people who use it responsibility are just fine. I think it’s important to discuss changes with your doctor and I don’t believe that medication is evil. It just wasn’t my first choice. So on to the review: this app has definitely changed my life for the better. I actually cried the first time I used it because I had so much relief from my anxiety. I use it every day and it has been a life changer. I’m calmer and more confident. I can enjoy things that I used to but had given up because they “stressed me out”. I recommend Breethe wholeheartedly. Give it a try all you have to loose is your anxiety!

Let me tell you exactly how bad my insomnia is, so you can understand exactly how amazing Breethe is…I have anxiety-based insomnia, with difficulty falling and staying asleep. While addressing my anxiety itself is helping my daytime life, I still have to basically drug myself to sleep, and I had tried everything…even other sleep apps. I was getting maybe 4 hours a night, and to say I was cranky is an understatement. I tried out this app, and I haven’t even had a chance to try out all its features — because I freakin’ get sleepy just trying to work Breethe , thanks to the dang background music. The stories they have are great, and their sleep sounds work like a charm. Used Breethe to meditate during the day yesterday because I was particularly stressed, and again amazing results. I have no idea why it works so much better than the other apps I’ve tried, but it just does. I’m falling asleep in 20 minutes tops now, and staying asleep. Thank you, this app!

I questioned getting Breethe due to the price, but I’ve been loving it. I have a great sense of appreciation for it. I use it daily, and I’ve liked how the daily meditations offered felt like the universe or God speaking to me because I needed them basically right when I would listen in. Breethe has many wonderful meditations, talks, short relaxing videos, & nature sounds. I also love the bedtime stories, & sometimes would really try to stay awake to hear all of the story😆 or I would listen in when I needed a nap or to rest during the day. I highly recommend Breethe. It has helped me through my anxiety, stress, & headaches. Meditation has really helped me so much, & I think it’s something so useful for everyone to try. Just listening to Lynne Goldberg or just hearing Breethe ’s automatic music soothes me. Breethe allows for easy searching & browsing, & really has a lot to offer. If you’re looking for an easy way to get connected when you need a source of calm, this could really help

I absolutely love Breethe. For more than 20 years I have had extreme difficulty getting to sleep every night; sometimes no sleep at all. I started using the TV to help me get to sleep, which would take hours and hours to make me so tired that eventually I would fall asleep. This was my routine for many years. I tried other sleeping apps, which helped a little but not like this app. Breethe has given me my sleep life back. I select one of their sleep meditations, and before I know it -- I'm off to dreamland. It was the best free trial and it is the best purchase I have ever made. Even when I am in physical pain, Breethe still helps me get to sleep. As I mentioned above, I used the TV for many, many years in hope to eventually fall asleep. I am TV free for night-time sleep. Thank you this app! Best app ever,
plus it includes many other options. Check it out - I'm confident that you won't be disappointed.

I used to meditate many many years ago while practicing Aikido as part of the practice units. During that time I was truly balanced and at inner peace. One day I stopped doing Aikido and my life consisted of work, friends and family. However work life balance has gotten so difficult over the years that my stress level is at an all time high. A level I am not proud of and don’t like. I tried many apps, but this one I personally prefer to most. I have only used it for 1 week now and already see a change on how I feel and my inner self is starting to come to peace. It will take a while to get rid of the stress and feel healthier in my mind, but the journey is well worth it. I only use it once, 10-15min per day.
As a first thing in the morning ritual. I am so excited that I ended up buying the lifetime membership. Thank you for making such an amazing app accessible to everyone!

Updated review: The developers of Breethe are awesome. They contacted me about my issue and they fixed what was wrong. I’m thoroughly enjoying Breethe now and plan to keep using it. It’s helping me so much! I can fall asleep more easily at night and that was my main reason for downloading it. I’m also learning to use the other features so I can meditate when I’m having a stressful day. I highly recommend Breethe!

Original review: I used the free version for 4 nights in a row and it was awesome but on the 5th night it wouldn’t ever open. It would freeze during loading. The next day I re-downloaded it and it worked fine so I went ahead and got a subscription, thinking everything was alright, but tonight it’s not opening again. It just starts to load and then freezes. It gives me a “retry” option but it keeps failing. Please take a look into this so I can use Breethe again. Thank you.

There’s no way on the planet I’d pay 75$ for an app, unless it was absolutely amazing. Frankly, Breethe doesn’t make the mark. Some of the meditations are good, some of the music is good. 1-2 are great. There’s not a whole lot of variety, certainty not a years worth. For me the worst part is half the time the program you want doesn’t even download. The files are too big and you’ll definitely need WiFi. Even with WiFi, a lot of the programs do not upload. Not good if you travel a lot or want consistency/ your money’s worth. I think Breethe owners are being greedy asking for 75$/year and they only offer like 2 free programs so unless you love those two, it’s not really worth having this in the first place. And it’s not like you can’t find a lot of great free meditation music to listen to online. If Breethe was in the 20$ range, I would consider buying it but out of principle not going to buy an app that doesn’t work half the time. Id rather put my $75 into extras at my yoga studio or Whole Foods.

I love Breethe! I have trouble falling asleep sometimes & since finding Breethe & listening to the meditation & bedtime stories, I have gotten to where I am usually asleep before the session ends. I have made a playlist for the nights that are particularly hard to sleep & I will wake up to the sound of my earphones dying.
I also like to take time during the day to stop for a few minutes & use the other options that are offered. Whether it be for anxiety or self love. It’s nice just to stop & have a moment to close my eyes & ‘this app’. 🙃
I did buy the year subscription & when I say I NEVER do that, know that means something. Breethe has helped me & now I have made my daughter, who has anxiety & insomnia start using it.
I am very thankful for this app. I hope it can help others as much as it has helped me.

I am one who suffers from anxiety and I have been using Breethe for years and I can’t ever get enough. It’s so amazing and I couldn’t be the person I am today without Breethe. I have to say this is one of the best apps in the world. But the other day I was having some anxiety so I opened Breethe , and I searched anxiety. As I assumed the meditations popped up for things like dealing with anxiety or financial anxiety, yet the thing that dissapointed me was that they were locked and I would have to pay for that. I know this is part of how you get your money but I think that it is somewhat ridiculous for someone with anxiety like me to pay for a way to calm down. I love Breethe more than anything and I’m not saying you guys should change anything because again I know this is part of how you get your money. Otherwise Breethe is to die for and I hope you guys keep improving and becoming more and more successful each day. Thank you ☺️😀😁

Unlike other meditation apps, this app has taught me how to meditate, be present, and end my insomnia. When I stumbled across this incredible meditation tool, I was on day 6 without sleep, with anxiety through the roof! I felt hopeless and was about to ask my doctor for sleeping medication, which I prefer not take. After a few lessons on breathing, relaxing, and calming my mind, I slept all night and woke refreshed, which before this app, I couldn’t remember the last time that happened. Now it’s a regular occurrence! I love the hours of music that can be played, specific for focusing, healing etc., and so do my dogs! I have watched my dog lay next to my iPad and sleep during these soundtracks.

I use Breethe daily and am grateful for the personal feedback, additional resources, and support offered by the this app staff. I have learned how to focus, calm myself, and coping skills. Not all of this was easy, but with so many helpful doctors, guides and techniques, I have been able to continually practice, grow and find a better understanding of my relaxed, well rested self.

Breethe has helped me in so many areas of my life, from depression and loss, to my personal and professional relationships, I find myself recommending it to people nearly every day. Thank you, this app, I am forever grateful!

Just a few days ago my girlfriend left me, we lived together. I come home to all of her stuff missing. Needless to say I made a mistake and suffered the consequences. I’ve used Breethe since and it has helped relieve the heartache I feel and all the stress that comes with a breakup. It has also helped me discover things about myself that I was never aware of. I believe Breethe will help me cope with the pain as well as make me a better person. To anyone in the same situation as me, please try Breethe out! Whatever it is that happened will be ok, if the person is meant for you then they’ll be for you sooner or later. I recommend using Breethe when you have down time, feel alone and start to let your bad thoughts consume you. I wish whoever reads much happiness and prosperity in your lives!

Breethe has been really useful and certainly helps me with sleeping! I really enjoy the stories and all the other content too. However I can only give it four stars because of the whispered stories. They are very hard to listen to and it is not relaxing at all trying to concentrate on something that should be easy to hear. In addition I wish they weren’t mixed in with the normal hearing sleep stories, perhaps they could have their own section because it’s frustrating to go through the whispered stories since they are not usable to me. It’s also disappointing that there’s so many great titles in the whispered stories and I will never be able to hear those ones. Please also consider recording whispered stories also as regular hearing stories. Thanks for the great app and in advance for your possible consideration to my suggestions.

I decided to cancel my trial after being billed for the first month’s subscription and they make it exceedingly difficult to do so. I emailed support with the subject line ‘account cancellation’ and they responded fairly quick with a follow up saying I would have to cancel through Apple unless it was being paid via credit card or PayPal in which case they would help. I responded to let them know it is billed through PayPal and...crickets, zero response or follow up. Apparently they only want to talk to you if you’re willing to give them money? I’ve been forced to go through PayPal and remove/block their payment agreement and will be watching closely to make sure that works.

I’ve always thought that a true measure of a company is what they do to retain customers, but not having the ability to cancel easily leaves a very bad experience and completely negates the possibility that I’d consider them for future use. Do not recommend.

I inadvertently allowed the free trial to turn into a membership, & was upset initially.

It wasn’t until I finally started listening to the huge array of offerings that I discovered what an valuable resource it is. There are a ton of meditations from various coaches on each subject, so if I don’t like a voice, I try another. Lynn Goldberg & Glenn Harrold are 2 of my favorites and their warm, calm voices coax me to sleep, lose weight, be less stressed, a better parent, on & on. I even noticed one on coming out of the closet which I haven’t heard, but based on all the others would trust it for a loved one.

I’m really happy to have Breethe - it’s helped me through these uncertain times & made a positive difference in lots of ways. It’s one of the best mistakes I’ve made & I’ll re-up when it expires.

I had anxiety and I wanted to be happier and lose weight and I wanted to be happy and free but after I got Breethe, I was so happy and felt amazingly relaxed, I recommend this to the people that wants to feel happy and overcome anxiety and cheer up more. Breethe helps you meditate well and feel good with a relaxing music, it helps with everything you could possibly think of!! This helped my sister and I very much! I love this and I wish I could put more than 5 stars, or actually more than 1million! I recommend this so much, I wish you can feel it. Normally I don’t write reviews but I had to for this one because it was special and helps me than other meditating app. I had problems with my body and mind, but I never knew that those problems will go away by Breethe! I love this so much and more than anything🥰😍

I have tried lots of meditation apps over the last couple of years. When I downloaded this app and tried the free meditations, I was impressed. My husband and I both subscribed and haven’t regretted it at all. I use Breethe daily, usually multiple times. We fall asleep to a sleep meditation or sleep music track every night. You can find a meditation for almost any situation you can imagine, they constantly add new ones, and the interface is easy to navigate and use.

Their customer service is also fantastic. I recently emailed about a concern I had with an update. I got a response less than 24 hours later, and they fixed the issue.

I would highly recommend Breethe to everyone...whether you’re just starting your meditation journey or are an experienced meditator.

I have a terrible time trying to focus lately. From sleep, to work tasks I just can’t win. I’m on antidepressants which should be helping but I don’t feel that it is anymore. At my wits end, I decided to try breaths as it was recommended by one of my doctors. I’ve been suffering awful anxiety which is new for me and I didn’t know what to do to deal with it. I Downloaded Breethe, and agreed to the subscription which seems steep but why not. I still think it’s a little steep but I’m using it for sleep, anxious feelings, before I go back to work from my lunch, and I believe it is helping improve my mood. I’ve even gone as far as recommending it to my friends who have also downloaded it and they share the same effective results. I love Breethe.

I have several meditation apps on my phone, but this app gets 100% of play time. I subscribed to get more meditations and I have not been disappointed in my annual subscription. The voices of the people are soothing (except for the newer guests). I use the sleep meditations and especially the sleep music every night. I really love something they have called “Adrift Alpha.” Breethe has a great selection of just music that will relax you and get you to sleep! Breethe support is amazing. I was on vacation and couldn’t access the meditations. I contacted app support and received emails and follow up emails during that week. It was NOT Breethe , but the poor wifi in the hotel.
I don’t get bombarded with emails as other people mentioned. My only complaint is that there is a teacher, “Glenda” whose voice is raspy and it is so irritating I cannot listen to her at all. Her voice is not smoothing. I can’t imagine why she is doing relaxation and insomnia meditations! Lynne has an amazing voice, and her meditations are so relaxing.

I’ve been meditating for several years and have used many apps as well as no apps (Zen and other methods). I also have chronic migraine disease which gives me some level of pain or other symptom every day of the month.
I have had TREMENDOUS success with Breethe, using it at least 2 times a day. Most often I feel that it acts as a headache preventative measure but I have also found that I can actually get rid of a low grade headache simply by selecting the right meditation session.
I love how Breethe is organized and how new sessions and new topics are always being added. As I said, I have tried a lot of meditation ‘helpers’ over the last few years. This is the only help I’ll ever need from now on. You owe it to yourself to at least try it for a couple of weeks. 🔆

When I got Breethe about few months ago in 2018 in November I was getting bullied at home and school and I still am in fact it’s has gotten worse and I take mediations at night that help sleep especially when this happens and also at time like 12 minutes ago when my sibling were bullying me and I just woke up from that meditation and I feel happier now and a get physicaly and verbally bullied at school too so Breethe helps me feel better about myself and that helps me foucus better at school and get good grades. Without Breethe I would have already called child line a bout being bullied. My life has changed for the better since I got Breethe. If your like me and have so much stress you can’t deal with I would recommend Breethe. 🥰👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

There plenty of apps in App Store, I used trial version of the best rating meditation apps. But to me (only to me, Don’t about others) they are very confusing and tedious to use. The other app is Insight Timer is very good lots of free stuffs there but I think Breethe is difficult to use and not very well organized. Breethe this app is very well organized and I am also in the free version of it, I just started using it I am losing it because it is very well organized. Breethe does not cost a lot like other apps in Breethe Store. If I get satisfied with it for another 1 moths then probably I will buy it for life time. At the same time I also read in internet Breethe crashes a lot. But nothing such happened to me yet. I will keep posted.

Anyways thanks for Breethe.

I truly love Breethe!..and I fell head over heels in love even more when I realized it has a feature that allows you to have stories or music on ‘repeat’ until you stop Breethe . Brilliant! I can’t even begin to say how long I’ve waited for this type of app to have such an option. With Breethe I used to use..I would listen to a bedtime story, and usually fall asleep during it (intended purpose of course!)...BUT, as soon as the story stopped, my eyes would open back up. Then I’d have to manually restart it..ugh..over and over, which obviously didn’t allow me good sleep. My brain needs to hear soothing soft voices or music all night to lure it asleep and keep me there. So a huge KUDOS to the developers here for adding the auto replay feature! 🙌🏽🙌🏽

Wonderful app with any meditation to suit very specific needs / focus points . Very effective meditations and the speaker is not annoying in any way !! However what prompted me to write this review was the OUTSTANDING customer service I received this week . Wow . I had a problem / glitch with the subscription and when I emailed them about it the reply was prompt , kind , professional , HELPFUL (with a detailed explanation of how I needed to address it with Breethe Store ) , and included a generous offer to compensate for any inconvenience it had caused me . When my subscription runs out , I will renew for sure . Breethe is great and the customer service is probably the best I've ever had in my life haha . Thank you, this app !!!!

I don’t write reviews often but I am so glad I found Breethe. I spent way too long not knowing how to handle anxiety and insomnia. “Mindfulness and deep breathing” sounded silly to me and I thought they wouldn’t work. I was wrong! But Breethe is more than just that. I use it almost every day to help with stress, anxiety and falling asleep / insomnia. I’ve only tried two guides so far - Janette and Lynne. Janette’s voice seemed to echo which was distracting to me. I’ve stuck with Lynne because it just works. Often I fall asleep in five minutes or less because her voice is so soothing. I had the free trial and I loved it. I keep renewing because Breethe is just invaluable. Thank you!
