An editorial reading of the saved reviews

The only app in the genre built specifically to help during a panic attack. The press-and-breathe technique in a crisis moment receives specific thanks from people who ended up in an ambulance with their first attack. The first screen requires choosing a plan with no option to look around, which is toxic for an anxious audience.
