User Reviews for Breathing Zone

Form Meets Function

I’ve had this app on my phone for a long time. It’s been very helpful in times of need. The variety of sounds is exactly right. Commuting on the train the white noise or water really nullify the ambient sounds (with noise canceling headphones). There have been many occasions where the other sounds were helpful and welcome. I don’t use apps for meditation because I don’t want to regulate my breathing, just observe it. However, when stressed, super anxious or the chatter in my head is just too loud, this app is my go-to friend! I just finished reading “Breath” by James Nestor (recommend) and he puts forth a 5.5 second inhale/exhale as the optimum baseline for establishment of coherence and peak efficiency (oh yeah, and breathe through your nose). Needless to say, 5.5 BPM is simple to setup in this app. Every other app I’ve looked at clocks seconds without an option for increments. Anyway, if you are looking for a simple and functional timer with a very generous feature set (optional technicolor expanding flower included) mash the download button now (and breathe through your nose!)

LOVE THIS APP

I absolutely love this app!! It helps me regulate my breathing when my Muscular Dystrophy breathing flares up. It also helps me relax & get to sleep within 10 minutes! I've seen reviews that say their set breathing gets changed. I haven't had that issue but do know that you can reset your breathing rate at any time on the 3rd screen in settings. There are several sounds to choose from. I personally find the Indian Bansuri very relaxing. Love, love, love this app!! I just wish it could be set for longer than an hour *EDIT ~ still love this app but am confused about the "breaths per hour". It always says 313. I'm a very shallow breather so I don't think that's correct.

Spelling and support and developer links.

Your app support link in this App Store post (which goes to the same page as your developer link—there’s no support), contains no contact info. I was going to email this privately, but couldn’t. In your posting in AppAdviceDaily, your subtitle is “just breath.” Breathe is spelled breathe, with an e. Thought you’d want to know so you can correct that posting in case you use it again. Unless you meant breath (the air one takes in and expels)?

Great App

I want to start off by saying I have been using this app for about a year and it works great and is worth the price being charged. With that being said I’m using the newest iOS software iOS 13.1 and every time I open the app it crashes and returns to the main screen. Can you help or I am assuming that the newest iOS software is glitching and making the app unresponsive is there any updates or support for this issue?

Thank you for fixing after the update

The app makers fixed the issue I complained below. It's back to its awesome state, now with better graphics. Five stars! (Until a few days ago, you could set the app with a starting breathing rate and an ending one. Because of that feature, you could start with your regular pace (5 breaths a minute) and the app would gradually take your breath down to, say 2 or 3 breaths a minute. Now, with the update, you can only choose one rate.)

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis just diagnosed

I trained, some 50 years ago, as a singer. Music major with voice my primary instrument. So I know how to “belly breathe”. (I sang with the Oakland Symphony Chorus fir a couple of years after graduating.)Nevertheless, this simple and customizable app gives me reminder exercise in doing what I learned so long ago. Example: I have only had the app for three days, yet a 3-minute session took my blood oxygen from 91 up to a stable 99! I tried both voices then turned off voice cues. The pitched musical/ sound cues work very well for me. The selection of breathing patterns is limited but excellent, and the ability to select one’s own breathing rate renders the app infinitely adjustable. Thank you for this attractive and effective app!

Formerly my fave app

I used to love this app! I used it every day for mindfulness. The app was very simple and well designed. My favorite feature was that it would automatically adjust the breathing rate down as you used it.That is no longer this app, and I really really regret updating it. It seems now to be focused on gamification/metrics and no longer focused on mindfulness. These features that are designed to get the user more engaged with the app and spend more time in the app completely defeat the entire purpose of downloading it.I recommended this app to many friends/family/colleagues/etc, and it is very unfortunate that the app has taken this step backward in functionality. Another example of this is the fact that the transitions between breathing rates now sound much rougher and unpleasant than before.Really really baffled with this one. Will keep an eye on the comments to see if anyone has another app to recommend - a functional clone of the old Breathing Zone would be ideal! I’m rating it 1 star because a previously extremely useful app has fallen victim to app trends that do nothing for the end user. I appreciate the beautiful new animations, but all the other additions (and the extremely baffling removal of good features) are pretty frustrating. I miss the simplicity of BZ.

Amazing customer support

I was having problems with timing issues and I wrote a 1 star scathing review. The developer contacted me directly and is working to fix it and we’re 90% there but I didn’t want to wait to revise my review. He’s concerned and helpful and in the end this will be my favorite breathing app. I’m doing extensive breath practices or rather working hard to change from shallow breathing, so a good program is essential and I won’t do an expensive monthly subscription program. It shouldn’t be necessary. I highly recommend breath zone. If you use it regularly, it will change your life!!!

Great app w/slight tweak needed

I’ve been using the breathing zone app for a long time... a few years. I love it, it has been very effective in keeping me focused on my breathing which I need to do regularly to help manage stress. I have recommended the app to lots of other people who love it too. Would be even better if 1) end of session was indicated with a bell or voice “session completed” and 2) on the 4-7-8 breath say “hold” during the hold. Other than that, the app is great.

Almost perfect

I like that it is a breathing app, not a “guided meditation “ app. I like the 4 7 8 setting a *lot*! I like that I can turn all audio feedback off and just let it quietly tap my wrist on Apple Watch. Last thing it needs is to sync with iPhone app and Health app. The watch is trying to sync, and returns a message that I need to allow sync with Health app, but there is no option to allow sync, either in iPhone BZ or in Health app. My sessions are not recognized in either iPhone app and both BZ and Health say I have completed no minutes.
