About the rating
Reviews are detailed and personal: nurses, physiotherapists, and people with panic attacks describe specific scenarios. Negative feedback concerns the ad and tip screen, not the practice itself. Star distribution looks organic.
Strengths
What users love
- Precise interval settings and saving custom patterns. Haptic feedback through Apple Watch allows eyes-closed breathing without touching the screen. Developer responsiveness.
Weak spots
What users hate
- In the free version an ad appears immediately after a session
- Breaking the calm state. Switching to another app interrupts practice since there's no background mode.
Who it is for
Those who want a controlled breathing technique without meditative content, subscriptions, or gamification.
