Breethe: Sleep & Meditation 4+

Pleasant Surprise

Today I got a pop up message from Breathe asking how I felt. I had been feeling a bit lousy these last few days. Anyway a friendly AI offered to help. So I just said I wanted to be heard and listened to and release my stress by talking it out. The AI was very intuitive and helped me along. Eventually I expressed my desire for a meditation on injustice and the AI referred me to two meditations one on injustice, the other on being treated unfairly. And I did a bit of them and felt. Better.
The inclusion of an AI is a masterstroke by Breathe in my opinion as a Counsellor and will really help people a lot.

Misleading and deceptive - forced to create an account!!!

Disregard any of the developers replies to other reviews. You can listen to a few and then you're forced to create an account. Which means you're handing over your Google, Facebook or Apple ID details.

Totally BS app without any transparency in their app description stating that creating an account is a MANDATORY REQUIREMENT to be able to continue busing it for free. Sure, you can probably use the free version as long as you want, but ONLY if you create an account with them.

Deceptive, misleading and not worth trusting.

Hard pass!

*Response to developer reply*
That's a blatant lie and you know it. After trying out only a few exercises to see which suits best, your app FORCES you to create an account. I know this because as soon as you hit play on a free exercise, you get a nag screen pop-up EVERY SINGLE TIME that gives you the following options:

* Sign up with email
* Sign up with Facebook
* Sign up with Apple
* Already have an account? Login

So either you're completely clueless about your own app, or you're hoping that I'm not going to bother replying to your PR spun response with the hope that others read this review and take your word for it that I'm "mistaken".

I am NOT mistaken. You are. And you know it...

Stop lying and be upfront!

Hi Plasmo AU - please accept my apologies. I double-checked and it turns out that you are right and I am the one who was mistaken! 😓 It is a recent change that I was unaware of and you were right. While an account is required, however, it is completely free of charge and is only so that your progress and favourites can be saved somewhere. It can also be entirely anonymous if you prefer not to share your information. The Sign Up via Apple option allows you to keep your address anonymous, using a coded address associated with your Apple ID instead. If you need any help setting it up or want more information about it, feel free to reach out to us directly at support@breethe.com and we'll gladly help you and compensate you for the inconvenience this caused you. We hope to hear from you soon! ❤️👍

Breethe helped me to breathe

After an unexpected and scary heart event and major open heart surgery, recovery time has been hard going. But Breethe helped me to breathe through my fears, the panic attacks and anxiety with the reality of my own mortality. I looked well, ate well and excercised well so was unprepared for what happened to me. And it was during Victoria’s long COVID lockdown - no family allowed in the hospital and having to do it all alone.
Breethe support staff have been so helpful when I needed help.
Thank you as I continue my journey to health and happiness. Brave heart girl
