Latest reviews of ButeykoClinic Self Help Program app for iPhone and iPad
The only reason I cant give this app a higher rating is that it forces your screen to stay on! You cant turn off the screen without the app shutting off.
Great concept, but like most corporate phones, mine automatically locks after 1 min, turning off the sound in this app, which doesnt happen with music or other apps. Unfortunately its hard to relax and control breathing when I have to keep unlocking my phone so I can hear the guided exercise.
Thought I would try this app. It is cheaper than one Doctor visit. Worked good. Takes little time to get the big picture how to use the app. A video showing how to use the app would be helpful.
No audio on the demo video. No alert when the timer is done. No "go back" button if you accidentally skip a section
Works well. Voice overs by Patrick McKeown are good and promote relaxed breathing. With two changes it would be a five star app. 1) saving results of breathing sessions is nice but one should also be able to delete them and not clutter the itouch with old data (you can delete the app and reinstall to get rid of old data but that is an inelegant solution) and 2) fix the app so that it overrides the autosleep function - at present to use the app you must first go to settings and see autosleep to "never" (this is on the latest itouch model). Still a good app but could be great.
