That is no longer this app, and I really really regret updating it. My favorite feature was that it would automatically adjust the breathing rate down as you used it.

The app was very simple and well designed. I used to love this app! I used it every day for mindfulness. Kumasokka's Review of Breathing Zone Reviewed on 12/24/17 9:23 AM I cannot use this version of the app, and I’m truly disappointed.įormerly my fave app star star_border star_border star_border star_border As another reviewer wrote, I’ll be watching other reviews for others to share their recommended apps. I’d gladly pay to get my old Breathing Zone app back. I tried so many breathing apps and purchased quite a few duds. It’s not the same, and the inferior sound effect of flowing water therefore comes across as anything but flowing. The exhale is several stitched together sounds. The new BZ has a flowing water sound choice, but it’s not the same sound. The old BZ had a sound setting like an ocean - the water rolling into shore and rolling out. Neither 3.0 nor 3.5 work for me personally. The new app offers breathing increments of. The old BZ app allowed me to set my rate at that number. The latest release, while the visualization is beautiful, lacks the sensitivity of the former app.Īs an example, I prefer to breathe at a pace of 3.2 breaths per minute. Just Nora's Review of Breathing Zone Reviewed on 12/26/17 8:32 AM I want the old Breathing Zone back star star_border star_border star_border star_border Not a bad app but these adjustments would make the app perfect for me and one that I would use much more personally and be able to recommend much more highly to others. A more deliberately styled pause button would be better. I’d like to be able to glance briefly at the screen and see how I’m doing and if I’m at my desired breath rate.Īnother minor complaint is that the app pauses very easily - by just touching the screen - which I’ve unintentionally done many times while in a session. More helpful would be an option for an easy to see (always on while using the app) display of how much time is left in your current session as well as the current breaths per minute. While the session screen is moderately cool with the pulsing orb thing, it’s kind of useless. As it is, I know it goes slower but I have no idea how long it takes, nor is it possible to see how many breaths you’re doing at any particular time, which beings me to. For example, if you’re doing a 20 minute session it would be nice to be able to set to have it slow down over the first 5 minutes. While I like how you can set your target number of breaths, the app is missing the ability to control how long it takes for you to get to that desired number of breaths. I really appreciate the way you can start at a number of breaths and then the app progressively adjusts to the desired number of breaths. I’ve been using this app for a week after comparing and test driving a few others.
