App Store: Customer Reviews

2026-05-01

Used to be better before peloton acquisition

The latest redesign is very bad. The original concept was brilliant: a simple, intuitive interface that gave me exactly what I needed, when I needed it. Unfortunately, it has evolved into a corporate upselling game. I’m constantly hit with paywalls for features I don’t want, making the actual exercises harder to find. What used to be a peaceful experience is now stressful and cluttered; it feels less like a breathwork tool and more like a subscription trap.

If this is the destination we’re going towards, I’m happy to stick to free alternatives. Breathing is free despite the upselling techniques. You’ve lost to money like so many others.

2026-04-06

Not consistent

This app is unreliable as does not register each day of work, also does not link between devices. Very disappointing

2026-03-22

Money money money

An app which monetises breathing. Might work for people who can’t use initiative. Ibreath app is simpler and free no bull.

2026-03-14

It just doesn’t work!

Downloaded the app for the first time, clicked “start” and the session ends immediately. I thought I was doing something wrong but reading some of these reviews it seems I’m not the only person this is happening too. I’m awaiting help from customer support but it’s a pretty poor introduction to such a seemingly popular app.

2026-03-12

Not functional

Guided sessions don’t work. Contacted support, don’t even bother to get in contact. Reinstalled the app, still doesn’t work.

2026-03-04

Horrible UX and no customer support

What an awful app. The UX is awful, and the customer service is inexistent. Don’t bother trying this.

2026-01-26

Great App

Excellent variety of exercises and classes. Would love to see an Apple Watch app and widgets to take it to 5 stars!

2025-12-17

Charged Full Price No 7 Day Trial

Selected to have a 7 day trial and was charged full amount! Not happy.

2025-11-05

Need to sort subscription and across devices

My subscription ends on 26 march 2026 (it is now mid November 2025). It keeps asking me to subscribe and pay. I have reached out to support with no response. And when my phone updated it reset the app so I lost my data.

2025-10-26

Transformative

This app should be on the NHS, if used by people i genuinely believe it would save the country a fortune !!

2025-10-25

App used to stop me fainting now it makes it worse

Quick accessibility for free used to make medical situations a breeze and I could always rely on breathwork now it pops up 5 times before you can open the app telling you to pay. The rain sounds are god awful and I just want the little monkey back. TLDR I’ll find another app this app can be pretentious on its own

2025-09-27

Once you purchase a subscription, the app stops working!

I’ve been enjoying the free exercises so decided to upgrade to a paid subscription. I paid £29.99 through the app, checked my subscription in the app, and all the premium features were still unavailable. There is no in app support (even for a premium app) so I tried emailing support, no reply. I then tried through the App Store, nothing, no response at all. I tried reinstalling the app, and it just appears in a strange format on my iphone, with part of the app missing off the screen, so it is unusable. Since I can’t get a response from support I’m going to have to try and get a refund via the App Store. What a complete waste of money!

2025-09-12

Unusable app. Unresponsive support.

This app looked exactly what I was looking for and I was ready to pay for an annual subscription. Unfortunately, the app is unusable. Emailed support for help and didn’t receive a response. I can see from the other recent 1 star reviews that I’m not the only person to have problems. Will look for an alternative app for breath work.

2025-07-18

Major bug!

When i press start for some reason the exercise immediately exists out without doing anything! Only good thing is that it knows how to count, “0 breaths” of course

2025-07-04

Bad update

This app used to be a joy to use - visually pleasing, playful and easy to access. The update is essentially a different app - chunky, clunky, and confusing. I’m baffled. I loved it before but now I’ve unsubscribed.

2025-07-03

This used to be a beautiful app. What happened?

I remember using the app in the past. It was my favourite app. It was useful. And beautiful. But Now it’s grey and loads of the features are missing. It thought that by subscribing to Pro membership I’d see the app in all of its glory. Not so. I’m really disappointed.

But one thing that I am pleased about- the app has dropped the game aspect. it feels more serious. I ln the past, I was hoping to recommend it as a breathing app but didn’t feel able to because it treated breathing sessions like a game. That aspect is gone but now it’s ugly. So I still don’t feel inclined to recommend it.

Such a shame

2025-06-01

Wrongly charged after selecting 7 day free trial

Seems a bit morally dubious to be told that you can click to try it for 7 days for free and then be charged for a subscription immediately.

2025-05-29

Free Features

Love this app! Had it for a year and half so far and loved it however after the updates the free features seem to decrease. Would love for more option for those who use the free feature but all in all love it! xx

2025-05-09

Doesn’t work and no reply

I paid for this app and it’s totally buggy and doesn’t work. Asked for help and got no answer, so wasted lots of money. Expect a refund. Every time I try and use the feature on the homepage it cuts out and stops working. Awful scam. How can that be released?

2025-04-28

Had a bug

Won’t let me start a session despite subscribing

2025-04-09

Doesn’t work

There is no option to contact support in the app. It just turns on and off whenever I start a session. Seems like it may be a scam. AVOID

2025-03-26

Content but no structure or education

Disappointing and overpriced.

Essentially this is glorified timer. The exercises are OK but do not change. There’s no journey they take you on or structure or education as to the myriad of different techniques and what they are good for.

So it’s a bit hit and hope. Pick a class that looks ok and do the breathing.

May be useful for people who like to see streaks but there’s better free breath work on YouTube and this doesn’t offer anything over and above other apps some of which are free

2025-03-14

What happened to the old interface?

Unfortunately now it’s dull and un-interesting

Initially the layout was excellent

Vibrant & colourful and super easy

Advice to the developers: please go back to the original

I won’t be subscribing this time

Thanks

2025-02-14

Terrible

App doesn’t work and constantly crashes so you can’t do any of the sessions. No response from developer and Apple has been useless too in trying to sort out a refund.

2025-01-20

Do NOT subscribe to this app

I haven’t used the app in years and it recently charged me twice out of the blue. I went and deleted my account once again and it charged me AGAIN few months later. I don’t have a subscription… No replies from customer service.

2025-01-15

Great App

Only issue is the subscription is handled outside of the app and they ask for your iCloud password when accepting terms. Have had to change it and report. Not a great feeling considering it started out great.

2025-01-05

Nice app but bugs make almost unusable.

I like the design of the app, but it freezes at the end of every single session or sometimes before. App supports suggestions of update and restart have not improved the situation any. For a free app I wouldn’t mind, but given I paid for it this is not good enough.

2024-12-19

Too dark and the timer does not function well

This latest version is still very grey and black in tone on my iPad and so I am sticking with the colourful, easier to see and read version on my iPhone.

I used to love this app but really dislike the new version, so I hope things improve quickly.

2024-12-17

This used to be good

It crashes just before the cycle completes. Emailed customer service. No response. I used to like this app.

2024-12-09

Great app but frustratingly unstable

Love the app. It’s user interface is great and concept fantastic but does have some design and instability issues. Namely: 1. Extending the timer makes no difference: the sessions remain at 5 mins regardless of, 2. It often keeps playing for a while when i close down the app, 3. Sometimes the sessions just hang, on an in breath for example, and don’t complete the cycle.

I would love to see these issues fixed and a count down timer added so you can see how long is left of the session. That would definitely make it 5 stars!

UPDATE 1: Issue has persisted. Reinstalled again and still stalling (stopping before the cycle is complete) and timer does not work when extended beyond 5 mins! Frustrating!

UPDATE 2: Have still not had a reply from the app developer so have requested a refund. Additionally, there is another fault! The guided voice and accompanying sounds intermittently stop! They restart again if the session is paused and restarted. This is a great concept but an poorly executed app.

2024-12-03

Used to be good

This used to be a really good app, but unfortunately it has become very complicated to use, subscription cancelled. Also all the continuous updates are annoying.

2024-12-02

It was great until

If is an amazing app with beautiful UI but two weeks ago I lost all my streak due to the app literally freezing when it hits 0. I tried to uninstall the app, update, etc and nothing has worked. I’ve even emailed the developers but no one has gotten back to me. I guess this is my cry to please fix my issue.

2024-11-28

SCAM AVOID!!

Have been auto charged for a new subscription that was cancelled a year ago! With no communication from

Email address listed, no way to cancel through App Store have to go through website which makes it impossible to cancel!

2024-11-22

Promising App, But Persistent Glitches and Poor Support

I’ve been using this app for two months and paid for the full subscription. Initially, during the first week, everything worked wonderfully—my streak was accurate, the app ran smoothly without freezing, and I could easily access my favourite exercises.

However, after that first week, the app’s performance declined significantly. It began freezing frequently, especially during the last minute of breathing exercises. All my favourited exercises disappeared, and my streak has remained at 0 despite daily use. I’ve updated the app three times as new updates were released, but these issues persist.

I reached out to the Breathwrk team via the contact email provided, requesting an explanation and a refund, but I haven’t received any response. It’s been four weeks since my initial message, and I even sent a follow-up email in between.

I waited this long before leaving a review to give the team a fair chance to address the issues, but I feel quite disappointed. While the app is well-rated and has great potential, the recent glitches and lack of basic functionality have made it frustrating to use. I feel like I’ve wasted my money on a subscription that doesn’t meet expectations.

2024-11-22

Used to be better

I’ve been a subscriber and supporter of this app for years but the new interface introduced this year has ruined this app for me. It now looks dark and masculine and there’s no option to switch to ‘light mode’. Gone are the white screens and pretty colour coded sections which made so much sense and instead we’ve got black, black and more black and an overuse of emojis like the app was designed by a teenage boy. Also gone are the handy ‘mouth’ ‘nostril’ indicators that used to pop up to signal whether to nasal breathe or mouth breathe which for anyone serious about breathwork are pretty important. Back in the day the only flaw this app had was its lack of widgets. Now that it’s had a ‘makeover’ it’s gained a lot more flaws. Such a shame this once beautiful app has now been hit with the ugly stick.

2024-11-19

Excellent app, deserves 5* but glitches need fixing first

The breathing exercises in this app are fantastic, and the combination of the sound and visuals work very well. I looked at other competitors and this one seemed to chime with me the most. So I trialled for one week before committing and on the same day I started experiencing glitches (freezing after each exercise, and not able to increase the durations despite this functionality being available). It’s still usable but very annoying, and although I am continuing to use and benefit it needs fixing to warrant the fairly hefty price tag. Developers need to get on top of this asap.

2024-11-15

Poor update

Long time subscriber. The update just completely changed the App without warning removing some basic functionality including the three preset time options, the daily schedule and records. Looking at alternatives and will cancel subscription.

2024-11-15

Timer doesn’t work

It is a brilliant concept but as others have mentioned unfortunately the app has many bugs.

Frustratingly the timer setting doesn’t work so you are limited to 5 minutes exercises.

2024-11-10

Freezing app after update

The App is very good. , however it keeps freezing and doesn’t finish the session. When will this be fixed as I’m paying for the premium subscription. When will this bug be fixed I have no response or email ? I think the bug is the time it starts crashing anytime after 3 mins on iPhone

2024-11-02

Crashes

It now crashes every time

2024-10-12

So hard to navigate and sluggish.

I had a subscription to breathwrk way back and it was just amazing. Today I just re-downloaded it—so so hard to navigate 😭 and that nature sound that just plays and plays. Intrusive. The had a great UI/UX once, now it is unrecognisable.

2024-09-25

Refund

I paid to use the app but it’s very glitchy and doesn’t work. How can I get a refund?

2024-09-16

Predatory system

Seriously, before doing breath work. You get asked to buy their subscription, twice. Then after breath work you get another pop up asking you to pay money. This is not an app that cares about people. You can make money without intrusive predatory methods. Developers need to grow up. Imagine doing breath work for anxiety about family or finances, only to be bombarded with pop ups asking for money right after.

2024-09-04

Just the best

I have had this app for years. It’s been a blessing. It’s been a strength when I needed to keep centred. Calm. Strong. Taking a few minutes each day to focus, relax is highly recommended. This app is your best friend.

2024-09-02

TERRIBLE

Just one word sums up the latest version of this app, TERRIBLE. I used the previous version for 2+ years and loved it. Could you please answer the following questions.

1. Where are my favourites?

2. Where are recents?

3. Where is my rank?

4. Where are the exercise descriptions?

5. Where has customisation gone?

Please don’t ask me to send an email regarding my concerns, just give me the ‘old’ app back!

2024-08-25

Amazing new app? Terrible experience! :(

I’ve been a long time user of this app and used to love it. However the new version has totally destroyed the experience. The new interface makes it difficult to find my favourite breathing exercises and if do find them, they are nothing like they used to be. Gone are the rhythmic melodies of the previous version and instead you have a confusing and frustrating set of audio controls. All good things must come to an end I guess and will start the hunt for an alternative option.

2024-08-22

Bad updates

The app was lovely but now it has loads of new updates and features that just make it worse I am a little bit upset by this because the app was completely fine before and now it’s just not as good

2024-08-15

disappointed

why change such a good app? it’s so hard to find your favourites now there is not specific category. every time i open the app it takes me through the set up process and usually i use this app to help with anxiety attacks. the interface was much cleaner and calmer before. disappointed and feel like this is just to force you to subscribe.

2024-08-13

I’m gutted!

Really sad to see the new app. The old app worked so well and was reliable. I’m struggling to do anything these days on it :( please bring it back!

2024-08-02

Breathe Easy

What have you done to the design of this up. The user interface now looks tacky and not a patch on the old one. We now have ambient sounds by DEFAULT, there’s no way to turn them off. Easy fix is to turn your volume on the phone down. Why ruin a good thing 😔

2024-05-31

Good exercises, frustrating app

As the title really, the breathing exercises are fantastic and have made a genuine difference to my mental and physical health. The functionality of the app however is immensely frustrating. The notifications don’t work, it often crashes after an exercise, the vibration cues sometimes work but often don’t, I can’t seem to work out how to add exercises to favourites… it’s really really annoying!

2024-04-16

Good, glitchy and limited for free users

I like this app but the daily exercises don’t download in the background so when I open them I get a “downloading” notice which takes minutes not seconds to disappear. Given that the daily exercises are the main free tool, this is a real issue and means I don’t use the app as often as I’d like to. I open it, get the downloading notice and close it again. Oh, and if you do complete the daily exercises, they don’t count towards your daily breaths target or any kind of streaks, which is really annoying too.

If it downloaded the daily stuff in the background properly and then those breaths counted towards the target, I’d happily rate this app much higher.

2024-03-06

Notification issue?

I love the breathing exercises on this app so much, but I can’t seem to get consistent notifications from the app! I have a schedule set up, and if I remember to do the first breathing exercise of the day, then I’ll get notifications for the rest of the day. But the next day - nothing! I am terrible at routines and remembering so I really rely on notifications. Is there anything that can be done??

2024-02-21

Charged for pro but locked out

I’d been enjoying this app despite some tech glitches with it freezing on certain screens. However I’ve been charged for pro and am stuck in the free version, with most exercises locked to me. I’ve tried to contact support via the app twice and have heard nothing. I feel forced to cancel given I can’t use the services i’m paying for - and am concerned there seems to be no customer service to deliver a refund

2024-01-01

Good exercise but functionality lacking.

I really like the breathing exercise but not being able download and save your favorites for offline use is a big omission in my opinion.

I travel a lot and quite often need to use the app on planes or where there is poor connectivity and currently the app just doesn’t allow for that so it simply won’t work properly without good internet. I hope the developers remedy this soon. Until then won’t upgrade to paid.

2023-12-05

Charging subscription when it was cancelled

I am really struggling with this company. I emailed to cancel my subscription and was told I had no active membership - despite being sent an email staying an annual fee was going to be charged. I could not sign in to the platform in any way - and despite being told I didn't have a membership, was still charged a renewal. Now it's complete silence despite sending messages on every platform I can. I just want a refund but am getting no help. Avoid signing up to any sort of membership given lack of response.

2023-11-17

Impossible to cancel

App subscription does not show up in Apple Settings -> Subscriptions. No option to cancel inside app, they direct you to the website. Supposedly you have to login to manage your subscription but if you created an account with an Apple Id it won’t log you in to the site as it gives an error saying ‘user does not have a password’. There is no option to reset your password, so I’m unable to cancel my subscription that they set to auto renew.

2023-03-29

Banished my Anxiety!

This app has been a life changer for me. I’ve tried meditating and using other popular apps but could never switch my brain off or would just fell asleep without any benefit.

Within a minute of starting an exercise I’m fully immersed into my breathing also noticing all my tension in my muscles, I’ve never experienced this before.

Mind muscle connection 💥

I have used the app for everything from Calming my anxiety, Going to Sleep is amazing, Workouts pre & post even learned about un stuffing my nose 🤷🏼‍♂️

I paid for the subscription taking full advantage of the guided courses which are brilliant.

The only down side is, No dark mode!

When you switch the app on in the dark it’s quite glaring. Please fix this 🙏🏼

Crucial piece of daily routine

Clean and minimal UI makes it easy to navigate through and select desired breathwork exercise. I find the trilateral Daily Classes on front page particularly effective and have become and integral part of my daily routine to perform anytime, anywhere. They are refreshed daily with new animations and tempos which make them engaging. The Lock Screen widget is good in that it reduces friction when wanting to perform quick breathwork.

Considering taking the pro version in near future if there happens to be a discount.

2022-10-05

Great breathing exercises but why all the gamification

I found this app recently and enjoy the exercises. However it’s a bit jarring when as soon as you finish an exercise you get some kind of medal and ranking - if you’re using the app for calm or relieving anxiety then this competitive element can kind of take away from the benefits of the exercise you’ve just completed. If I could switch off these screens it’d be 5* from me

can’t count the breaths

I’ve used this app for a while and for the most part it’s great, a lot is for a very expensive membership though. However, it can’t count the breaths you do per session. in the pre made awake breathing routine, you do about 40 breaths but it only says that you do 30. This wouldn’t bother me too much but, they have a leader board (monthly and weekly) that is completely wrong. with the top breather having 717million breaths a week, that works out to be 1,185.5 breaths per SECOND a week which is totally impossible

Good - but could be better

I’m enjoying this app a lot. I like the structure it can bring my day with a morning, afternoon, and evening breathing exercise.

However, I’m really disappointed after signing up to Pro that I can’t use it offline. Wanted to use it on my long flight recently and there’s no way to do so. App FAQs say to switch on offline mode, and download them, but this option doesn’t seem to exist.

Please make offline as soon as possible!

Good app, stopped working

I used it a couple times and it was good. For free you can access a good few breathing exercises that seemed to work.

Only 2 stars because it would constantly recommend breathing techniques that you only found out were locked (until you pay) when you clicked on them, which was very frustrating. I don’t mind parts being locked, but don’t openly force them on the user when they can’t use them.

Also, after the latest update the app won’t even open for me. It force closed the first several times I tried and then, once, the app opened into a blank home screen and stayed like that till I shut it down.

If you want to pay your experience may be different, but the free experience hasn’t worth it for me.

ADHD Friendly

i benefit a lot from breaking up my day with short guided breathing exercises, but struggle to keep any sort of routine or consistency. This app however, for me is a game changer. The interface/ layout took a little getting used to due to there being a lot of options you have. However, if you stick with it, you’ll actually find its pretty straight forward and i daresay intuitive. You either can choose on whim, one of several different types of guided breathing exercises, which depending on the type you’ve chosen, can serve different purposes, eg, charge up or cool down. Alternatively, you can use pre set daily routines, where a collection of different guided breathing sessions are spread out over the course of the day. The latter really helps me to manage my mental energy and the avoid the inevitable burnout after a hard days graft.

I’ve used a lot if meditation/ breathing exercise apps but this is honestly the best. It balances novelty and structure perfectly for someone like me who needs both.

Incredible App for Every Time of the Day

I went on a meditation retreat and during the trip, I learned that my breathing patterns are all over the place and effecting my mood and sleep. For example, when I’m stressed, I unknowingly hold my breath for long periods of time before suddenly having to take a deep breath. Breathwrk has helped me significantly improve my breathing patterns and become mindful of them. I’m waking up better, sleeping better, more focused and overall feeling happier. The developers are constantly improving the app, adding new features and breathing excercises, love love love. ❤️

Good

I saw this on TikTok advertisement it. It mentioned that it can help get rid of a stuffy nose. I suffer with blocked sinuses so I was interested. I downloaded the app and was not disappointed. Unfortunately you can’t access everything with out paying monthly so I could only do certain things. However the excercises I did helped my breathing and there are many others on there with I now use every night.

2021-12-18

Impressed

I downloaded this app because I had burned my thumb on a hot glue gun and it had been really hurting for around an hour with the ice I used the pain relief exercise and it worked so after one use and around five minutes of having the app it has gained five stars

Awful haptics won’t switch off

I was loving this app and subscribed and recommended it to so many people. Since then they added these awful haptics - the phone intrusively buzzing the entire time. You have the option on each exercise to switch it off but it doesn’t work. I’ve started and restarted so many times, unchecked the haptics box and still it buzzes. Now totally unuseable as too intrusive and irritating. Literally can’t put it on any surface without it making a huge jangling racket.

2021-08-23

Super handy for relaxing and sleeping, but some minor niggles

I use the app mainly for helping me sleep and for calming (pretty good before meditating), but sometimes I use the more energising ones.

Few things I’ve noticed:

If you pause a session it can go out of sync with the display.

I feel like it sometimes goes faster than my clock ticks when I count along with it, maybe it doesn’t count the time in between breathing in/out, etc.? I only notice when I count along with it to help stop my mind racing. I’ve compared it to my clock ticking and it does seem faster.

Despite those things I find the app really useful and recommend it to improve your breathing and help calm or energise or whatever mood you’re going for.

Nice but not inclusive

This app is good for anxiety, sleep, and relaxation and becomes effective when it’s been used for a while.

You have to pay to access all exercises and sounds but there are plenty others there if not.

The only problem is that I can’t select a gender when signing up because it only provides 3 - Female, Male, and Non-binary. I also can’t change my name so I still have my dead name there.

Other than that good app.

One of my favourite apps of all time

I downloaded this app when I was going through a particularly stressful time in my life earlier this year, and it has been nothing short of amazing for me. Obviously breathwork is nothing new as a practise, but this app makes it incredibly easy and fun to start doing it. I also love the elegant design of the interface, and the different sounds you can use for the various breaths. Also the fact that there is such a variety of breaths with slightly different techniques and nice names keeps things interesting. Great work guys!

2021-05-11

Amazing!!

This is everything I needed for my therapy sessions, I need to get used to doing breath work before the intense emotion arrives and this is working amazing!! I love how you can choose how long you want to do it for, I’m not 100% sure but it would be great if you could change how many breathes you take and hold, I say I’m not sure cause it might already allow you to do so and I just can’t find it but with or without changing how many breaths you take this app is helping me breathe and become calm!! I’m thankful for this app!!

2021-04-14

Looks good but expensive

It’s a nice looking App but it’s expensive for what is a pretty basic set of ingredients. For many of the practices there is, as yet, no voice coach. Also, for the scientifically minded there is only the minimum provided giving the background to the various routines. It would be nice to see videos from clinicians / practitioners actually explaining why they work, the impact on the body etc. So when we hear that Navy Seals use a particular breath, how about an interview with one explaining how it’s taught and examples of the impact it has made?

2021-03-28

Very Relaxing

This app is so good, especially if you’re a beginner! Even the free version has so much to offer, which is often not the case with a lot of meditation apps nowadays. Couldn’t recommend this more - it is so good to remind yourself to take a step back every once in a while. It has a range of different breathing techniques, and I fine the science behind it very interesting. Often I feel as though I’m wasting time doing breathing exercises but to know the science behind it is both fascinating and motivating! Love this app!

2021-02-06

AMAZING!

I am a teenager, who really needed this app. I have recently really been struggling with my breathing which lead to : lack of sleep, crying and shortness of breath. I do a lot of the breathing exercises from this app daily. And I have just finished today’s session. You can make your own schedule for when you want for whichever exercises you like/ need. It send a you notifications and you can customise your own relaxing music for your inhales and exhales. Please get this app for mental health purposes it is amazing and has helped me so much even though I only downloaded it 3 days ago! Well done for creating such an amazing app which I found from TikTok. Social Media really does have its uses!! ❤️

2021-02-01

Amazing app annual sign up is too much

I’ve had the app for a short while and it’s helping in these difficult times but being locked out for anything over 1 min on the free version is a pain and puts me off. I’d be happy to sign up and pay monthly but committing to a year is too much. The actual amount is fine but I don’t want to be tied in which is a shame. The exercises seem really useful in different scenarios and it’s very simple interface and its illustrated allows easy focus.

2020-12-13

Miss the free version

All good things come to an end....i loved the mini version of this app from earlier this year that had only half the features and was free. Now suddenly all the features I took for granted plus fifty more I don’t want cost 40 dollars a year :( Obviously I understand this app needs to make money and I could afford like maybe a few bucks for just the breaths, but I can’t afford to pay that amount for a bunch of features I personally don’t find helpful anyway. Id love if maybe there was a tiered system of payment....I just want to be able to meditate for six consecutive minutes like I could back in the spring!

Great app though

2020-10-13

AMAZING!!

This app is amazing, you get to go up levels every couple of breaths (I’ve only had it for a day, but I’m nearly on level 3!). You can use this to awaken your mind, relax your mind, help anxiety and make you sleepy. I love this app- every night I’ll go on and do a few of the breathing activities. I love this app so much even though I’m not logged in!

2020-10-03

Helpful

Its simple and very helpful. A lot of other anxiety-related/mental wellbeing apps have the majority of functions locked by in app purchases however this app has more than just the basic features unlocked, also allowing settings for each breathing sessions to fit the users preferences, allowing overall for more comfort than most of these apps offer.

Helps my anxiety when not a lot of other apps do and helps me sleep by giving me something to focus on when my insomnia is acting up.

2020-09-30

informative & good for insomnia

I have long been searching for an app to help with my insomnia. I have tried various guided meditation apps but most don't work well without paying or subscribing for the full content of the app. This app, however, is both useful and effective even on the free version. It explains the exercise to you before you do it (how it works, how to do if) and you can customise it to suit your needs (adding sounds, length of exercise, vibrations, etc). I have been following their sleep program for 2 nights now and can really recommend as it is the only app to have actually made a difference

2020-08-22

Is it free?

I liked this App to start with- was easy to use and advertised as free but after a few weeks it stopped working properly without me having to pay. When I looked at the App again there’s many different purchase prices? Why? I live with chronic pain and suffer with multiple physical and mental health issues and stumbled across this great App via online support groups. I hate it when Apps are advertised as free and then you suddenly have to start paying for them. Where’s the transparency? Apple are not helpful since removing prices from App logos. What does ‘get’ mean? Is it free or do you have to pay ( one off/ongoing).

2020-08-21

Has changed my daily life

This app has been my intro into breathing exercises, have used it for over a month now and it has genuinely changed my daily life. I Have recommended it to some friends who also say it has made a huge difference in their exercise & sleep as well. 100% recommended

2020-08-17

Works for me!

Before being introduced to Breathworks I was having great trouble both getting to sleep and having continuous sleep caused by worry re the pandemic. Now on level 17 I sleep much better and if I do wake up during the night a few breathing exercises send me off again.

2020-07-31

Amazing App Everyone Should Have

This is an app that everyone should have downloaded on the phone when they need a quick pick-me-up whenever you are nervous or tired. I don’t have an iPhone so I use this on my iPad. The only thing I could mention is that it would be wonderful is there was an iPad version of this app.

2020-07-28

Good app, but...

This app is great and the update has improved on it, even if only slightly. The one thing I really don’t like is the introduction of leaderboards. This app was a nice secluded place for me to be with myself and to just breathe and reflect. Now, it’s weirdly full off strange ranked usernames making the meditation and breathing a competition? It’s a weird choice that I don’t fully understand the reasoning behind? It doesn’t add anything to the experience and feels like a feature just for the sake of having a feature.

The rest of the app is great and really love all the latest additions but, yeah, the hell is up with leaderboards? Nobody needs that added anxiety in an app meant for the self.

2020-07-10

Brilliant app. Worked immediately

Very impressed with this breathing app. I had downloaded it and the first night I had it I had difficulty sleeping so I put the sleep breathing program on and I was out like a light. This morning I did the waking up program and now I feel energised and ready to go!

If there would be one thing I would add to his app it would be the Wim Hof breathing method, but I suppose that would require an additional manual timer to be added for tracking the breath hold portion of the exercise.

All in all this app is brilliant and I have already recommended it to a few of my friends.

UPDATED REVIEW: in the past four months this app as changed so much for the better. I can handle negative emotions much better now. I use this daily and I feel like a massive weight has been lifted off my shoulders. This app is perfect and I can’t believe it’s free!! I would LOVE it though if we could set our own timers/sets.. not a big deal, but sometimes I want to do Breathwrk for 10-15 minutes but I have to keep pressing repeat exercise every few minutes. Not a massive issue though, the app is still amazing either way 😁

2020-06-18

Great App with an important feature missing

I am absolutely in love with this app. This must be the first time I am actually consistently taking breathing exercises. It really helps me a lot to power through the day.

That being said, as a data nerd, I can't understand why such a well-made app doesn't sync the exercises ("Mindful minutes") with Apple Health app? That is the only reason why I'm giving it 4 stars, rather than 5.

Please make it sync with Apple Health.

2020-06-18

Brilliant!

I don’t have time to meditate or to do mindfulness so this is just brilliant. It’s a quick hit for whatever your needs might be and it really works!

This has been my go to app when things have felt overwhelming the past few weeks.

Would definitely recommend for anyone who just needs to slow down and breathe!

2020-06-15

So far, so good!

It’s not been very long since I’m using this app however I think it really fills my day with positive time. It helps me to re-focus my mind also to relax it when needed so I don’t get overwhelmed with even the smallest of things :-). Also all the reminders Are very useful and I really like and enjoy the fact that it lets me choose what am I trying to accomplish with the practice of Breathing purposely.I also think that is great for beginners as it keeps reminding you what you were meant to do at that very point.

I’ve already shown it to my therapist, and we shall discuss this app during the next session, and as we have both gone through multiple apps to suit my needs I am more than sure she will also be trying it out!

I’ll bet... she must of already downloaded it and she’s giving it a go already! Hahah!

Absolutely amazing app, I would like to say a huge THANK YOU to the creators and designers as both - the idea and the final product look and feel sooo good so far! Thank you. It means a lot to be able to find such a tool to help one deal with their issues during this very strange and difficult time; also THANK YOU for letting us have and use this app for free. I truly appreciate it! I guarantee to be a regular user, even a tester! Heheh! Any changes, ideas, reports shall be reported straight away! :)))

Idea: some say that breath is also helpful for manifestation and self belief in reaching - visualising it - your goals. If that’s true, it would be an astonishing experience if you could help with it! Thank you for your great work already, so very much! Highly appreciated.

2020-05-24

Love this app so much #❤️❤️❤️❤️

When I first got the app I used it straight away and I love it.

I like that u can pick which breathing u can do the yellow one is my favourite because it is for the body and u can use it when u go on runs and long walks. There are also 500 levels they are all awesome so when you have time why not get this app thanks for reading.

2020-05-21

Great new App

I have been doing meditation for years and I am now seeing a few apps available like this one which concentrate on the breath. So far the app is excellent and extremely good for a free app. I will be very interested in what premium content will be available as the free content is of such a high standard. Any chance of any anger management sections in forthcoming releases, not for me you understand, but for the wife. Keep up the good work.

2020-05-20

Brilliant!

This app is fantastic, it’s hard to believe I didn’t have to pay for it, the quality is outstanding. I’ve downloaded countless meditation/breathing apps in the past only to delete them because they were so expensive or very poor. For those interested in breath-work, this is a brilliant foot in the door. I use this a lot to get to sleep as I have lots of sleep issues and it is just fantastic in getting you to the point of relaxation and helping the overactive mind to calm. And again it is brilliant to turn your mind on if you need to focus and energise. I am really interested in the side of breath-work that helps to heal trauma and release tension in the body, it would be great to see some kind of voice led sections around that subject as my nearest breath-work workshops are hundreds of miles away. Looking forward to the new breath updates that are “coming soon”. Please don’t get greedy and start charging a ridiculous subscription to this app, it’s the best one I’ve ever found and I want it to stay that way!

2020-02-24

Finally, an app that improves (vastly) my day!

I try various 'healing', health, mindfulness and meditation apps in spits and spurts, usually discarding them within days... But not this one! Wow 🎉

Firstly, I set in-app reminders, and of course ignored the first few 🙄

Then... the other evening, working late, my reminder for "Wind Down" breathing came thru. I tried it, and couldn't believe the difference pre breathwrk and afterwards.

The very next morning, as I went from my coffee to "better start me darn day", I tried the "Energize" routine. Wow!

I've continued ever since, trying different breathing routines dependent on the moment "Sleep / Wake up" you name it, I'm going through them, and I have a new quality, a new free control in my life, entirely customisable to the moment.

Well done devs - I am a fan!
