No bells and whistles, just a flexible breathing timer. Great app!" * "LOVE this app. Very simple and easy to use. You can set time for inhale, exhale, and pause after each if you wish. You can watch it or listen…Thank you! Ads Not intrusive. Ads turn off when the app is active” * "A very convenient application for breathing training! Compared to others…Very simple controls.
