TLDR: a broken app with no support nor quality control and you’re better off not using this app After 2 weeks of using the app, the exercise data was lost, but the user information was retained initially. Attempted to log out and log back in, but the user name and password wasn’t recognized. Attempted to reset the password, but the email address wasn’t recognized. Deleted the app and reinstalled it but the problem persists. Sent an email request for help with the above issue and haven’t heard back (it’s been 48 hrs from this posting). Ironically, later that day I received 3 emails to remind me to do the exercises again. I clicked on the unsubscribe button and was greeted with … … “Thanks your information was sanded.” Sanded … yeah, I don’t know what sanded means either, but I’m guessing I’m not unsubscribed as I would like to be.

I think this app is basically great! It does what is supply to do, mostly. My request is that the app be not so rigid in its treatment planning. I sometimes forget or miss a session, or a day, if my life gets hurried. Maybe you are better than I at keeping to a perfectly regimented schedule. 1. In these cases if you want to restart your schedule but it is your day off on the schedule you can’t restart where you were. And Sunday is your day off so you can’t practice Sundays. You can use another breathing app and this has helped me when I was locked out of training. 2. If you miss a day or two the app has no way for you to start back where you were. You have to totally change your training program (with the “change training program button” then do it again and pick your original program. Then you can only restart at the beginning. Now I realize that this program is trying to have you be disciplined like a clock which I can often do. But if you slip the program goes on without you and offers no flexibility. I like the breather and the program. Developers haven’t included flexibility in this version.

The app is incredibly buggy. It often does not register my sessions, and sends me notifications at midnight that I’m not completing them. It’s impossible to maintain any sort of streak for that reason. If the notion behind the app is that it gives guidance/motivation, it’s not great for that. And right now it’s not working at all, telling me I am not connected to WiFi, which is incorrect. This has also happened before.

I’ve been using this app for 5 months. Sometimes quite slow to load and there are feature improvements to be made to both the app and the coaching videos but, it but was functioning at a basic level. Today however, it froze. Rebooted my iPhone, still it froze, deleted app from phone and reinstalled app from Apple Store. Says, it has no internet connection?¿ the phone definitely has WiFi and no problem with connecting to the internet. E.g. What do you do when too sick to train?

I have used Breather for 8 months and in the first two months, I noticed a BIG difference in my endurance while swimming laps twice weekly. May not get to use twice daily but am consistent. Worth it! Having respiratory concerns since a child, I think this program is helpful IF you care about YOUR health. Some bugs with the App but helpful support.

The app completely froze and stopped working on my iphone. Have restarted, deleted and reinstalled, etc. now it says the network isn’t running, but all other apps work fine(email, web browser, etc.), it has network access in settings, etc. It is a flaky and unreliable app that became unusable. Frustrating because you need it to train with the device.

App quit working last night. Is the app no longer being supported? Same issue for Android or iOS Help

Multiple reboots and different networks make no difference; app refuses to launch. i could delete the app, but fear that will erase my history. Will probably try it anyhow. Otherwise was quite good. Only things missing from app otherwise 1. if you want to train outside the scheduled programs, there’s no way to just have it do a session. 2. there is no explanation of what a “breath” is. Now sure, you can watch the demonstration videos, about the diaphragmatic breathing - but i suspect that the therapist is not *completely* emptying lungs and then completely refilling them (similar to lung function tests via spirometry). Which is fine, my point is that it should be explained. 3. there is no explanation of whether you should attempt to target the default breath timings if you are unable to do so on day one, by increasing the app defaults for breath pause, or whether you should purposely increase the breath duration even as a challenge (the harder programs simply seem to increase the number of breaths per session).

App can’t connect to server and that’s kind of a problem when trying to use it, I didn’t realize it couldn’t work offline and right now it doesn’t work at all

This device is AMAZING!! I have been using it for 1 week 2x a day and I can feel a difference and I have copd. I wish I found this sooner, also easy to use and clean
