Universal Breathing - Pranayama was created by doctors, designers and app developers to provide the perfect breathing experience.

Pros and cons of Universal Breathing - Pranayama app for iPhone and iPad
Universal Breathing - Pranayama app good for
Its the real deal this app! So thankful for find it! Esse app cumpre o que promete, vale cada centavo!
Quem diria que o simples ato de respirar poderia melhorar tanto a vida da gente.
Who would think that a simple act like breathing could have so manypositive benefits. Thanks for the App!
Solid app, good call on making the full version free for a little while.
This app is a fantastic relaxer. Very good for releasing stress and clearing your mind. Much like meditating.
This app is wonderfully put together. Very simple and intuitive interface. As somebody who battles anxiety, I can definitely feel the calming effect deep breathing has.
A terrific introduction to meditation. I am a teacher and I use it in my classroom to help the children focus and concentrate. It works wonders!
Some bad moments
Leaving a comment on Apple blows but I did it for this app... Wanted box breathing but after building custom routine it doesnt save and wont run the time you set. Very annoying. Go with a different app imo.
Such amazing feature as background mode , graphic errors... Not recomended...
This is a great app. I use it every day. As others have written, the biggest flaw in this app is that it will not continue to run if you lock your screen or open a different app.
The touch controls to stop or pause are not responsive about 80% of the time.
The controls for background music do not work at all.
The foreground sounds all sound the same with very slight variation. It also is not distinct enough at breaks to tell when to switch to exhale or inhale etc.
This could be an outstanding app but its got some huge issues!
1. Once you launch app, landing screen appears. Nice smooth resolution. But only for couple seconds. Than resolution drops and looks like whole screen gets some technical glitch. It kinda zooms in and drops the resolution. App starts and everything looks BAD. No smooth lines - squared lines everywhere. Need a fix.
2. Developer is too greedy or I dont understand something. Been with this app since the first one for iPhone. Loved it. Bought full version. Than new apps came in for iPad, HD version for iPad, than this one universal. Simple upgrades given to you as new paid app. Cmon, why do I have to pay again for what I already paid. Doesnt it make more sense to release an upgrade rather than a new app with Exactly same functionality under modified name and sell it again?
Very helpful to relax, helps you overcome your insomnia and get to sleep
