Breethe: Sleep & Meditation 4+

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

Thank you so much for such a wonderful review, Braveheart girl! ❤️ It's great to hear that we could help. Thank you for sharing your story! 🥰

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! ❤️👍

So when I opened the app it asked me to chose what it could help me with. But it was just letters and then dot as if there was more to the word but it didn’t fit in the given area. For example (S...) I was very confused so I just skipped that part. The. Immediately it asked me for a 14 free day trial and then after that, it costs $89 a year?! What? When I saw the ad I thought it would be free, since there are many sleep and meditation apps out there! I saw an ‘x’ in the top right corner so I pressed it, hoping the app had more to offer, and a speech bubble popped up on my screen saying ‘thank you for subscribing, would you like to customize your playlist.’ I deleted the app immediately, because it had subscribed me to a free trial I didn’t want to be subscribed to. I am very disappointed. And if I did subscribe, for one year, $89 is very expensive!

Hi Kate5589, We’re sorry for the confusion. The free trial for the premium membership is optional. You can sign up for a totally free account that gives you access to more than 90 meditations. We’d be happy to help you with this at support@breethe.com.
