| 2024-03-06 |  | | AMAZING APP EXCEPT! The final sound for the bell is way too loud and aversive and has scared me out of my meditation a couple times and now the anticipation of the final sound causes stress. It would be cool if the main bell is chimed 5 times quickly to indicate end of session. The main bell is a good bell. 2ndly, the haptic just stops when session ends and so there I am just holding my breath until I figure it out. Should also buzz 5 times quickly at end. This mode is great for the bus. |
| 2024-01-11 |  | | I'm using Breathly every day as part of my routine and I can definitely observe positive impact on my health. I'm very grateful that you offer such a great app for free. I only have one improvement feedback: the possibility to play sessions in the background. This would make it much easier to use while commuting/travelling. I'm any case, thank you! |
| 2023-06-26 |  | | The app is simple and useful. The updated version is good. The "Vibrate on step change" for Vibration under the Haptics section vibrates too lightly. It's as if there is no vibration at all. Would love to get this feature modified so that the phone vibrates moderately on step change. Also, few more in-built guided breathing patterns will be helpful. |
| 2023-05-25 |  | | I suffer from high stress due to medical issues. Decided to use the app at least 5 times a day for 5 minutes. It's been 4 days so far. My breathing has become more controlled, and my chest has calmed down a lot from feeling tight and fuzzy. It's a really simple app that helps to do amazing things! You don't realise how much you need to utilise a breathing app until you try, and im so glad I came across this one. :) |
| 2023-04-06 |  | | Excellent app. Ad-free, simple, free. There are quite a few options in terms of lengths of inhale/hold/exhale. You can even set a custom one (something I didn't realize at first!). Things I would improve: The flower/mandala is nice, but hard to gauge. A simple loading bar style option would make it clear how many seconds are left. I found that with the standard 4-4-4-4 default, I wasn't exciting fast enough, so I quickly became out of sync. Hopefully part of my morning and night routine. |
| 2023-03-15 |  | | This is my favorite meditation app of all time. No account? No login? Beautiful. My single, only criticism of this app; the new version that recently came about shortened and reduced the insensity and duration of vibration that occurs between phases of breathing, and because of that i sometimes miss the steps during sessions. Could you maybe add a setting to allow me to change that? Otherwise, for what this app provides, its perfect. |
| 2022-10-12 |  | | I'm so grateful to find a stress relief app that doesn't make me sign up for an account, or input my credit card/account info, or lead me though a bunch of pointless startup pages. It's simple and lovely and wonderful. The one thing that would make it better would be to have a darker background if you're using dark mode. At night/in bed, the light-colored background is jarring. Using color inversion on my phone helps, but that makes the app start page/the rest of my phone jarringly light. |
| 2022-10-06 |  | | Great, reliable app. Customization of breathing techniques is an excellent addition. The auditory cues are good, but only indicate beginning of each step. It would be very helpful to have audible cues that relate to overall time for each step as well, especially for those who have vision difficulties - for example, a sound that builds in volume, tone, etc during each phase of the exercise. Thanks for a great app. |
| 2021-08-04 |  | | I once had a fitness tracker, since lost, that had a breathing exercise feature which was the only thing I missed about it. I've been searching for an app to replace it and Breathly is finally it! It's sleek and straightforward, while still being very attractive and customizable, and I find myself engaged seamlessly. Really beautiful, powerful app that I'll be getting highly acquainted with for all my pranayama needs. |
| 2021-01-18 |  | | This app is just great!! The best I found so far. If there would be one thing that could be improved would be to have a visual countdown for each part (inhale, exhale, hold) separately, that way would be easier to manage the inhales and exhales, so for example I dont run out of air before the exhale part is over. |
