Breathing Zone for Android

I trained, some 50 years ago, as a singer. Music major with voice my primary instrument. So I know how to “belly breathe”. (I sang with the Oakland Symphony Chorus fir a couple of years after graduating.) Nevertheless, this simple and customizable app gives me reminder exercise in doing what I learned so long ago. Example: I have only had the app for three days, yet a 3-minute session took my blood oxygen from 91 up to a stable 99! I tried both voices then turned off voice cues. The pitched musical/ sound cues work very well for me. The selection of breathing patterns is limited but excellent, and the ability to select one’s own breathing rate renders the app infinitely adjustable. Thank you for this attractive and effective app!

Very easy to do, and voice, along with screen are easy to follow!

I’m an intense, high energy person who needs to relax! I’ve been using this app on and off for many years. 15 mins of 4-7-8 breath has an instant calming effect with the added bonus of normalizing my blood pressure. Highly recommend it.

This app is probably intuitive for younger people, but initially I was stuck not knowing how to begin the session. After getting tech support, I like the Breathing Zone and highly recommend it as a healthy coping tool for stress. Anytime I feel stress in my body in the form of mental frustration, muscle tension, queasy stomach, tingling or shallow breathing I turn on the app. Using the Breathing Zone calms my body and mind by breathing fully the Vegas nerve and sympathetic system are balanced and I come back into balance or homeostasis.

I’ve loved Breathing Zone for the last couple years. However, the newest update has rendered the app unusable. If I click the app icon, my screen goes black and the app never opens. What is the problem? Hope you fix it soon!
