Advanced Buteyko +4

I can't imagine learning and practicing Buteyko without this app. It is so helpful. I chose to study the method with Eduard because of this app. So glad I did. It is so useful that he can see my data in great detail, and guide the process very accurately. Very well done!

I believe in this method and the science behind it is sound. I wish I could afford to buy the whole program, but I can’t. So, I am stuck with the first two levels and that’s ok. But I’m frustrated with this app. For the most part, it works well, I love the fact you can basically keep a running journal of your health and progress, I don’t understand the chart thing at all. That is something that hasn’t helped me in the least. But my biggest issue is that it says you can tap your scores to edit them. I try this every time and it never works. I generally can hold my breath as long as the first EBH, but I never can change the scores to reflect that. I’m the kind of person that if you say something is supposed to work, I’m going to hold you to it. And this is a small but very frustrating thing to me. It would be so convenient for me if it did work because it takes space and time to record my own scores so I have a log of them. I don’t have a lot of time to sit and do this anyway, and I would much rather use the time to record my health, not scores. It’s a small thing, but irritating to me.

Despite desperately needing a UI makeover, the app works well so far. However, it should mention (early) in the description for it that the cost to unlock anything but the basic two levels is hundreds of dollars. While I certainly don’t think expertise should be used for free, a basic app with poor design, no matter how functional, should not be that expensive. Many cannot afford that sort of investment, and I have no desire to invest in “coaching” to work on my asthma. I’ll go through my healthcare and work with a licensed speech pathologist if that’s needed. Accessing the basics of the Buteyko method and buying a 99 cent ebook is all this app needs to include. So charge less and get more people using it…wouldn’t that make more sense?
