➤ Harvard Health Newsletter You can choose an audio accompaniment and set the length of your relaxation session. You then breathe in and out in sync with an image that pulsates at a gradually slower pace."

This is the app you need if you don't want to meditate & still have to reduce stress. I used this years ago to reduce my bp. I am looking for it again for my nephew who has to reduce stress for his MS. Unlike other reviews state, you don't pay for it & if the voice is annoying, swipe left to get the settings panel & either change the voice or turn off sound. I recommend leaving voice on until you get the gist of how it works. It works on the parasympathetic nervous system. it really does work!
Used to work fine, now it doesn't at all. No slow, guided breathing - just a strobe light/epilepsy risk flashing hundreds of times a minute. Something has seriously gone wrong and the speed cannot be changed or fixed. This app is completely useless now and I can't use something I paid for.
Great app. Selectable and customisable breathing patterns, with option to "ease into" the target pattern. Only drawback I can find (hence only 4 stars) is that the app stops producing sounds when you open another app. Similar apps allow you to continue with the sound even when it's not the main onscreen app.
Love it..Have had this for a while and after reading that breathing exercises were successful in studies at lowering blood pressure, I plan to make this a daily exercise..My favorite settings are to turn off guided voice and just use white noise..with the green lighting, I find it much more relaxed experience..
Really relaxing! I have a issues with anxiety and PTSD and this kind of breath control combined with being able to change the sounds is wonderful. I wish it would keep playing in the background of other apps though...
The best WearOS app for paced breathing exercises. It's everything I need it to be and nothing more, leaving me able to better focus on my breathing; the app's perfection lies in it's simplicity!
This is one of the best free breath work apps! My only gripe is that there is no vocal cue for breath holds.
Just what I was looking for My only critique is maybe throw in a 2 second delay (or make it a setting) for when your changing settings and want to start over that way you have time to relax after hitting the lotus instead of going directly into breathing
** Update to the update....The voice to breath in and out is overlapping. Also please allow us to pick starting breath. For me starting at 6.0 is too fast.
Basic but works really well. It's just an app to get you into a consistent breathing rhythm and works well for mediation.
Best app I have used for mediation. I love the water sounds to help me sync and focus on my breath. Thank you!!
Sound issues fixed in last update. Love the new layout. Breathing Zone is the best breathing pacer by a huge margin.
Great app if all you want to do is breathing exercises. Usable anywhere. Would recommend.
The app has rapid screen flashing and then won't respond.
I think the voice is creepy. I can't relax listening to it
Since the new Android update, when the phone locks, the app stops working.
Animation is broken, flashes white light. Definitely an epilepsy risk. DO NOT USE.
Loved this at first. Now can't open at all. Uninstalled and reinstalled, nothing. Sad because this was a favorite
Good app . We need to add reminders for mobile and smart watch
Absolute best combination of everything needed for a good breathing/meditation app👍
they make the app less functional after every update. app developers don't care once they've got your money.
Does not work after latest updates goes in to "turbo" mode at 1000 bpm. Please fix it.
This app is great and just what I was looking for and needed! I'm very happy with this app and highly recommend it to others!!!
The Galaxy Watch 4 app stops whenever there's a notification.
A nice app. Elegant in its simplicity. Highly recommend.
Unpleasant voice. Not relaxing with that vibe.
its only my feeling or breathing time goes faster than targeted bpm?
of the last few days this application is not working and yet i.paid for it. please fix it or refund back pls
A very good breathing which has the right amount functionality without being cluttered with features that you will never use. I like that the audio still works when the phone is locked. If I'm in public I don't necessarily want to use the screen. My only suggestion would be that a voice is added for "hold" like with "breathe in" and "breathe out". That way you know when to hold your breath when you are just listening and not looking at the screen. Great job overall.
