While this seems to be a good idea judging by the lots of positive comments here, I personally don't get the appeal of using an app to do breathing exercises or meditate. It is such a simple thing to focus on yourself with eyes shut, do some counting in your head without any need for an external device that tells me what to do. For me, the beauty in such exercises is that I can do them anywhere, without any equipment. Having yet another app for this just doesn't feel right, even though it might be somewhat useful to learn new techniques.
