Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Clear your airways with confidence. A brand-new Airway Clearance section guides you through the Active Cycle of
Breathing (ACBT) — the technique respiratory physiotherapists teach to help shift phlegm from the lungs. Step-by-step
screens walk you through breathing control, deep breathing, and gentle huffs at your own pace. Built-in safety guide
included.
A calmer, simpler exercise library.
- Diaphragmatic Breathing (formerly Belly Breathing) has a cleaner inhale → exhale → rest rhythm.
- Gentle Box Breathing has been retired to keep the lineup focused.
- Custom Exercise on iPhone and Apple Watch now fully supports breath holds — set inhale, hold, exhale, rest, and
rounds exactly how you like them.
Less notification fatigue.
- New Notifications on/off switch in Settings — pause every reminder with one tap, no trip to iOS Settings.
- Recommended Reminders now suggests a gentler 3 times a day (8 am, 1 pm, 6 pm) instead of 5.
- Reminders are now shown in time order with a clearer enable/disable toggle and a handy "Send Test Notification"
button.
Fresh first impression. New launch screen: BreathWorx — Breathe Better.
Quality of life fixes.
- Apple Health sync working again on devices where it had stopped.
- Backup & Restore opens reliably with clearer error messages.
- Apple Watch: fixed a layout glitch on the daily progress card; the Custom Exercise editor is now tidier.
Thanks for breathing with us.
