1. would be perfect if i could set up the period of breath by typing number instead of sliding it, one more, if I could set up the time end for the exercise, so I dont have to look the apps how long I have been doing my breathing exercise.
2. Although, it is so easy to set them up it only takes a few seconds to change.Like the calm interface, the gentle oscillating graphic and particularly like the simple piano tones for breathing.
3. As others have mentioned, a start/stop button would also be nice.Excellent! Simple, straightforward controls that allow you to control, and CHANGE ON THE FLY, inhale/hold/exhale/hold duration.
4. Nice, thank you for the app development.This app has been such a blessing! Thank you so much to the developers for producing this! Dec 2021 my 8 year old son was in a bad car accident, requiring long, and repeated hospital stays, and many bouts of severe pain that medicine can't always take care of.
5. keep up the good work and thank you for your awesome appsGood app for timing breaths and simple to use.
6. The UI controls are also simple and give you options for whether to keep the screen on or off, what color the background should be, and what sound you want to use.
7. I use it for timing things like pelvic floor exercises where I might only want to do 10 reps, for example.This a great simple app that just works.
8. I appreciate that the dev is trying to do something different, but I would love an option to toggle the graph to the more standard circle that grows and shrinks with the pattern.
9. The sound choices vary on whether there is a continuous sound, or just during inhale/exhale, or changing tones for each segment, etc.. Recommend!This looks like a good app.
10. My son doesn't register when we tell him to focus his breathing, but Breathe sucks him in and calms him.
11. A request for future relesses would be the ability to save different breathing patterns.
