Universal Breathing for Pc

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!

This App is nice and very useful for people looking to improve their breathing and health in general. But to get better results you should do it more then once a day, the problem is with everything going on around us we don’t remember to do it, so can you please add the possibility of Notifications or Reminders, this way we can set how times per day we would like to practice and the App will remind us when time comes for practicing .

I like this App a lot. It could be improved by: 1) turning off after the session is done. It stays on the screen and will completely drain the battery unless you remember to press the power switch. 2) running in the background, so I can hear the cues while I'm reading a news app or emailing...

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.
