Our verdict

Who it's for

Who should look elsewhere

Cons

  • −Reviewers report an aggressive paywall experience where constant upgrade prompts clutter the interface and make the actual breathing exercises harder to find.
  • −Cancellation and refund complaints are common, with users unable to reach support, no refunds on renewed subscriptions, and some resorting to credit card disputes to stop billing.
  • −It focuses narrowly on breathing exercises and offers far less long-form, story-style meditation and sleep content than broader wellness apps like Calm or Headspace.
