## Description

Controlled Breathing Assistant guides you through cardiac coherence with a soft audio beat and customizable settings. It works with iPhone/iPad sleep mode to minimize battery drain while you practice. You can tailor session length, inhale/exhale ratios, and breaths per minute, plus delays before start and optional end-time display. Background sounds, beat tones, and visuals can be chosen to match your mood.

Track your mood with notes, earn virtual rewards for consistency, and enjoy VoiceOver compatibility for accessibility. This simple 5-minute stress-reduction technique you can use anywhere—on public transit, in the car, or at home—helps you create a brief moment of calm whenever you need it.

## Review summary

Overall, reviewers praise the app as a solid starter tool for coherent breathing and anxiety relief, especially for therapists, noting its simplicity and the usefulness of the free version. The main drawbacks are its very basic feature set, limited customization, and dissatisfaction with paid extras and certain audio options (loudness and tone). Many would like more customization without paying and a more polished audio feedback.

### Pros

- Great for beginners and for therapy; helps with anxiety and is recommended by therapists.
- Simple, functional starting point for coherent breathing.
- Easy to use with a straightforward, no-frills interface.
- Free version provides essential features and some unique options not always available in free apps.
- Background sounds (e.g., ocean, drum) enhance the practice and are nicely received.

### Cons

- Very basic/bare-bones; lacks advanced features or bells and whistles.
- Customization is limited; changing backgrounds or sounds often requires paying.
- Paid extras feel basic or not worth the cost.
- Some users want louder breath cues and more distinct inhalation/exhalation tones.
- Audio cues sometimes not as resonant or satisfying as hoped (e.g., short clink instead of a fuller tone).
