Good idea Bad execution
Pranayama is a great tool for over all health. However this app’s user interface is not user friendly. It is not easy to customize the sessions. Also there is no option to contact customer support through the app.
United StatesSound no longer works
I used this app for quite a while and then put it aside. When I went to use it recently, the sound no longer works making it inefficient unless you stare at the screen. I used to really love it. Hopefully it will get fixed soon, but judging by other reviews, it doesn’t sound likely.
United StatesApp left for dead.
Zero support. Support links and web contact form on their site is closed. App hasn’t been updated in almost three years. I‘m presuming that the company bit the dust. I wished they had the decency to publicly announce it here.
United StatesApple Watch version please
Absolutely love the app. It would be fantastic to have the Apple Watch version
United StatesGreat for what it is
I use this to help my spear fishing. So far so good. It’s a simple app that is relaxing and easy to use.
United StatesWon’t keep playing when screen is asleep
Love this app, except...I wish it would continue to play when the screen is asleep. Your other app apparently has this feature, but I already bought this one. It would warrant 5 stars with this simple fix.
United StatesGame changer
I originally heard about this app from Commander Mark Devine and the box breathing he teaches. It works great. With the full version of this app you can adjust the settings and label custom exercises. I set it to inhale 6 seconds; sustain (hold) 6 seconds; exhale 6 seconds; sustain 6 seconds. I labeled it “box breathing” and set the timer for 20 minutes as Devine suggests 5-20 minutes a day. It has a different tone for each portion of the cycle. As you get used to the different tones you can close your eyes and still stay on track with the cycle. I like to do this exercises sitting in the dark with my eyes closed. By now I know what part of the cycle I’m on based on the tone that it makes. I like to flip my phone upside down as the screen is really bright. (I suppose that would be my only suggestion to the developers is that you could turn the screen off while using this app.) After the 20 min of box breathing I follow up with a 15 min gratitude meditation from a different app. It is a bit time consuming but well worth the effort. It is a game changer when facing the day with clarity. Because I’m in a calm present state, over time it has significantly reduced anxiety and helped me connect and communicate with others. After I enjoyed the app for a while I explored it deeper and read all the suggestions for better breathing techniques. I have integrated these techniques into the “box breathing” with even better results. Thank you for this app!
