Apnea Trainer App Reviews

Good app!. Application is great. But I know my long swim underwater for a long time is not easy at all. Thanks to the application, I could practice the skills in the water longer, like a clock app biological my health. I really liked it. Thanks

Why does the clock stop in the background?. Really great app... besides the fact that I have to stare at your app to keep the clock running instead of it speaking to me in the background while I’m watching a relaxing dive video.

Great app!. I really like this app, easy to use and we'll made! Way better than doing it manually in your head or having another person count every day!

Takes your brain out of the way.. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Highly recommended. I just started diving recently and have researched a lot of different tools for apnea training. This app has been amazing! Super easy to use and multiple options for training types. Happy spearfishing all!!

Awesome. Started out at being able to hold my breath 24 sec. After 10 minutes of training I'm over a minute. Strongly recommend.

Gets the job done, but worth the $???. UPDATE: timer is now defaulting to 23:05:00 vs 00:05:00 as the developer has indicated is the default below. No response to emails sent with screenshots of such. While it’s a minor issue, there’s simply no need for a timer to even go to these ranges. A better setup would be to emulate that of the recent change to iOS where a user can set hours, minutes, and seconds. First, I don’t free dive but needed something that would give me focused breath control practice. This app is pretty simple but gets the job done. For my purpose, at least. I use it for a guided relaxation breathing practice because I’m lousy about doing it on my own. It does have a couple quirks: 1. The timer isn’t labeled so you have no idea that the left number is HOURS and the right is MINUTES. And for some reason, it defaults to 17:05:00. 17 HOURS!?!?!? 2. The instructions for the app are lacking and some of the App Preferences (AM/PM time) have no explanation of what they do so you have to toggle them on/off and “search” for what change took place. Overall, don’t know that’s its worth $2.99 though.

PERFECT!!. I am a surfer, and getting held under from a wave will make you lose your breathe really fast, but since I've been using this I can relax and not have to worry about it anymore! Great app!

Really good for increasing breath holding. I've tried a couple other apnea training apps, including ones with more bells and whistles, but this one is my favorite so far - easy to navigate and modify, but still gives me what I need. I improved my static breath holding from 30 seconds to 2:30 in 15 days. Great app for diving trainers

Easy effective. An easy way to keep cadence with breathing and focus on the breath instead of timing. I love it and use it daily.

AMAZING🌊💦💧. Best app

Excellent Tool for Improving Breath-hold. I’m just beginning to train for free-diving, and this app has already helped me double my breath-hold time. I especially like using the CO2 exercise table, and the fact that the app automatically updates my settings when I use the built-in stopwatch to set my new records. Doing these tables everyday will definitely help you improve your static dry apnea times.

Oh yeah. I’m a yogi and been doing pranayama for some days. And now, exploring free diving. I’ve been checking out these breath apps for a bit. Everyone annoyed me and I just went back to the “real thing.” This app, actually, is the real thing. It’s better than a guided meditation. It’s a super incremental challenge. It’s giving me the opportunty spread the message by saying, “yo man, do my app with me.” They like, “what?” And I bust it out. I’m excited enough I wrote a review. I have never done that for anyone before.

Excellent App. I bought this app to help with my physical performance. It is great to use as a timer for the breathing protocols. I believe I originally heard it mentioned by Tim Ferriss or Gabby Reese in a podcast or interview. It does everything I need it to.

Helpful tool. Feels good to breath in new ways. Looking to get into free diving and starting to bractice holding my breath

So helpful. Its such an amazing and useful app that i use everyday

WOW. So I started at one minute with comfort but after 14 apnea breath ups I went to 1.5 minutes like it was nothing! The important thing is to do a breath up BEFORE holding which I think a lot of negative reviewers forgot about. There's also three types one for apnea one for prior the breath hold and another called "pro" I don't really understand. You also get an autograph for the stop watch. For three bucks you get a coach to count you through the holds and a graph that's mostly automatic. Not bad. This is a basic app, but worth the money. I hope to see future updates to better define the purpose of each exercise or better frame the students goals. Without outside reading it's hard to know how you should be goal setting .

oh well. should have had known better after reading some reviews. Its just a simple stop and go clock. it really is only two options for timing and the app records performance but it just moves you up a level or down based on how you answer the question, was that easy or hard? I was expecting a little more, like technique, some video, but its just one screen with a picture of a lung telling you when to breath and hold.

Could be better. Not bad it has some basic training methods and will keep track of your breath hold on a chart. Things that could be added would be a negative breath hold tracker, some more info on goal setting and how depth affects breath hold could be helpful. Overall not worth the money.

Apnea. Not sure of the applicability for actual free diving. But feels good nonetheless

Not worth it. This app could be great but it misses CO2 or 02 tables, which are the basis of apnea. I would not recommend it to a friend

Simple , great. Does exactly what it is supposed to. Simple to use. Can set own settings. I do wish some background on pranayama benefit was mentioned as opposed to the apnea training part but still a great app. Great during chest cold season to stay well oxidized.

More flexibility on narration. My instructor has me inhale exhale hold, so that my hold is without any air in my lungs you should allow the user to change around those options with regards to your narration.

Its great. Awesome

Very poor app. This app is not a static apnea trainer. All this app does is give different patterns of breathing in, holding breath, and breathing out. It gives no explanation or instruction as to how the process helps you to improve. There are no tables showing progression in breath holds. There are no O2 or CO2 tables, only a stop watch. This app is an endless breath up cycle program that doesn't explain what breathing up is. If I could get a refund I would. This app is a total waste of time and money.

Awesome update/edit. Get Results!. Below is my original review from a long time ago however I wanted to give this latest version and the designers another 5 stars if I could. So just to update, the app is great in every way. A few changes along the way has made it even better. One more thing I would like to have (and the app may already have it I just haven’t found it) is a sound confirmation that I have started the timer. Not a tic tic tic but just a beep on start to let me know I have started the clock without looking. Great app! If you freedive or just want to learn how to relax deeper I highly recommend this app. “This app is simple to use with several great features that simply get results fast! The developer's response to support and feature requests is awesome. This app has helped change the way I breath, which changes everything.”

Great app. This app has really helped me hold my breath longer. I got it because summer is coming around and as a free diver, being able to hold my breath as long as possible is a necessity. Definitely worth the 99c.

Good app, great update!. I have moderate asthma and I use this app most mornings to get my breathing back under control. The only improvement I would like to see is to be able to set a ratio for the advanced setting (say, 1:3:2:1) and change the multiplier, rather than having to enter four values every time I want to change it. However, I consider this a very minor issue. Thanks guys!

Best breathing App!. Use it every morning to set my state!

Great!!. This app is soo useful! I Was originally able to hold my breath for 20 seconds (I'm 13) after doing this for a like a month and a half I can now hold my breath for 1 min and 23 seconds. NO JOKE! Best app ever! It's definatly worth .99$ :D

Helpful breathing exercise assistant!!. This is a great app. It is easy to use, the graphics are great. I would recommend this app to other divers and I have. It would be nice to see some explanations or some charts in an update. But it helped with my bottom time so it is worth the price tag!!!!!

Best freediving app!. This app more then doubled my dive time in just a couple months! I just did a trip to Maui and I owe all of the great shots I got to Apnea Trainer! The fish don't come to you, so you need to go to them! And great job with the new update guys! Now I'll be able to use my iPhone underwater housing with this app! :)

Worth Every Penny. It’s a quality app! They could probably ask for a higher price; I have to say it’s worth every penny because they’re only asking for pennies! I tried to save money by using free breathing exercise apps before this, and they were much more frustrating. This doesn’t lock you out, give quality workout instructions, and looks great!

Amazing App!!. App has defiantly helped since I bought it got me holding my breath over 2 minutes. is a must if you live any where near water

MAYBE THE BEST OF ALL THE BREATHING APPS. What makes it the best? I feel it's the audible count down option. You can put relaxing sounds, or music on and not have to concentrate on the app just your breathing. Also total control of inhale, exhale, breath retention make this app a real winner. UPDATE: l have deleted all of my other breathing apps and just use this one. Like I said earlier the audio makes this app the over all winner among breathing apps. You experience mind fullness using this app. The exercises are so relaxing with this app. Thank you developers. Hard to articulate this app, you must experience it.

Rip Off. The app doesn't work as intended. There are no tables and the progression is glitchy. It jumps from beginner to the hardest difficulty. The other reviews are very misleading and once you go on the app, if you look under the frequently asked questions, one asks how they got their formula for breathing; they claim it's based on an ancient yoga technique and ask us to "trust them" based on the reviews because it "works". It doesn't actually work at all. I'm led to believe the other reviews are all made up or people that had never tried to hold their breath before and were misled by the app into believing they were worse when they started than when they finished. Now I'm going to e-mail apple and ask for a refund.

the best I've found. So user friendly with awesome results. After 1 week I could hold my breath a whole minute longer .It has an auto timer so all you do is listen. Great for a free trainer

Well worth the download. This app is saweet. I used the app three days 15 minutes each time and increased my breathe hold by 50 seconds. It's really easy to use.

AWESOME APP. This application is great! I'm extremely happy with the results I've obtained from this method. I personally think that the person that spearheaded the idea for this should be given a promotion in there certain facility of business. To my knowledge and experience, this training way is legit. My own lung size has exceeded my expectations. To all of the homo sapiens that put their labor into this product, I thank you with all of the air in my lungs. From yours thankfully, Edward

Breath Hold. In two days I doubled my breath hold time.

App use. The app is not intuitive. The explanation of setting it up is sort of vague. I think it needs more instruction or video on how to set it up and use it.

Tried and tested. I’ve had this app for many years and it still does what it’s supposed to do. No bloat, ads, gimmicks, etc. Thanks for a great product.

I use it for meditation. Really helps me focus on my breath. Clears my mind. And the app has become much nicer over the years

Offers very minimal training.. Unsatisfied with this product. It does very little to create an effective training table. I had better results with STAmina, I’d recommend that app over this one any day of the week.

Huge improvement !. I started this app two weeks ago and have been doing 4 sessions a week with 10 min sessions . I started at 1:45 and I am now at 3:07 !!! Never thought I'd be able to do that. Thank you!

This is awesome app!. This app really helped me improve my breathing technique and let me stay underwater for a long time. I would gladly pay for this app because it is useful, amazing. You can enjoy some of the amazing features on this app. It perfect for people who like to swim, I would really appreciate.

Very good!!!. Could resist the temptation!!!! Lol!!!! But I do thing 99 cents is a little high for just tht..... But I used to only hold my breathe for 30 now I can do it for one minute!! everytime!!! Wait till it's on sale!! But good job

Good training, good meditation drill. I started using this app as to augment my training for free diving. I find that it is also simply enjoyable. In a doctor’s waiting room, for instance, it’s a fun way to kill waiting time productively.

Does not live up to the name. I am a recreational spearfishing freediver who has been casually freediving for many years. My starting max breath hold was 2:30 when I recently started to take training more seriously. Impressed by the high review count I purchased this app along with a few others. I thought this would be a comprehensive apnea training app, but it definitely is not. It is a Yoga based diaphragm exercise app which has one single exercise to increase lung capacity and help calm the diver. That’s it. There are no CO2 or O2 tables despite a miss leading review that references them. Also, there is very little instruction on how to breathe correctly (although if you go in the FAQ there is a little more information). You start with an exhale test and then it gives you three numbers and dumps you into the exercise. The exercise screen does not give you any indication of how long your session is supposed to continue, and they do not give a prompt to explain why each component of the exercise is what it is. To be fair, I do like the exercise that is in this app and I think it is a good complement to a broader training regiment. If you have no apnea history whatsoever I could see this app alone doubling your max static apnea time really quickly, but to be a paid app titled “Apnea Trainer” it should include CO2 and O2 tables, as well as this exercise, along with regularly updated recommendations for when you should do each. There should be a training plan that you can look at and customize, which would be updated with your performance in each session, and each of the exercises should be well explained with information before and after each session with tips on techniques and safety along with links to additional content on the subject. This app could so easily be so much more, but it was sadly less than expected and it is described in a way that makes you think it could be more than it is.

Excellent. This app has helped me with relaxation and also reducing my snoring and sleep apnea through better utilization of O2 and CO2.

Ripoff. Doesn't have O2 or CO2 tables as you would expect, just tells you to inhale then exhale and gives you a stopwatch

Love it!. Great app. Helps a lot with my daily breathing practice. Use it all the time and am forever recommending it.

Free dive spear fish. Highly recommend this app been using everyday for a week and breath hold gone from 1m50sec to 4m.01sec crazy stuff

Excellent. Good solid measurable results from following this app.

Instructions would be helpful. There are virtually no instructions about how to use the app or measure progress. It might work but you have to use it for a month to find out if you’re using it properly.

very easy to use. it's a pretty straightforward app. simple to use, pretty enough to look at. I haven't tested my dive times but it makes it easy to practice holding your breath.

Great App. Great app Have been using this on and off for past few months and have noticed the difference when using this app for a week or more Worth the few dollars Thanks!

Great app. Nice and simple to use the recent updates made it much better thanks

Very useful app thanks. I'm getting better and better :)

Mr. Hey great app easy to use. A noticeable difference after a few short uses.

EXTREMELY USEFUL!!!. This app is definitely worth the price. I have seen amazing improvement in my breath holding and I have used this app for only about 3 days. Highly recommend purchasing this app if you want to become a human FISH!! Right now, the App Store doesn't Let you rate an app above 5 stars. But if you could, I rate this App a 10/5!

A great app. One of the best working and easiest to use apps. It will help so much if you want to improve your breath time. This is a great app

Made easy!. Great App, easy to use! Breath has already increased after a few sessions :)

Apnea. Farkin sic app! Recommend! Dive deeper for longer!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Review. Add more different training systems

Awesome. Wow. Immediate improvement in space of half an hour (from 1.47 to 2.33) just from 18 apnea cycles then 5 breathe up cycles straight into a breathe hold record! Definitely recommend!

A must for divers. Very good worth the couple of dollars if used PROPERLY

Fantastic. This app is a big help, noticeable improvement after only a week!

Apena trainer. <3

Review. It's a very good app it teaches you how to relax

Nimfuzzle. This app works. My breathing slowed in just a couple of days and l can hold breath longer

Breath taking ... :). Brilliant, easy to use.

BEST FREEDIVING APP ON THE MARKET. I have been using this app All together for about 45min and I can hold my breath at least 1 minute longer! Definitely worth the money.

Great app. Helped me get to 3 min under water!

Good app. It's pretty fun & it's FREE!!!

Apnea Trainer. Great app ! Thanks

Formidable. Apnea Trainer est très pratique pour un entraînement sur le pouce et permettre de garder le focus. Bravo!

Nice but could be improved. It is a nice app to train but lacks of customization in terms of cycles and tomes.

AWSOME. I have tripled my time for holding my breath

Love it. I haven't used any other apnea apps to have comparison, but my experience with this app is great. After just a short time I began to notice a lot more power in my diaphragm. I felt so much more in control of my breathe. I also feel that the repetitive cycles have helped to familiarize myself with the feelings of high levels of carbon dioxide. Great experience with this app. I find I use it when at the movies or in places where I have time but don't need all my attention.

Nice app. I agree with sicko!

I love holding my breath thanks to the app. 💧💧💧💧💧

Pranayama training. Great program to improve breathing

good app. just started my apnea training for free diving , very helpful coach application, great job guys!

Love it!. This is great app for apnea and other breathwork. I love it and use it everyday! One small recommendation: it would be incredible to have the option of a sound instead of a voice to remind us when to inhale, exhale and hold. Thanks!

Disappointed. I thought I would really like this app based on the reviews but I was very disappointed. The main routine is very limited and the custom routine is not much better. Frankly I feel a little ripped off as I paid money for this and am now going back to a stopwatch and tables on the Internet.

Great. I use this app every day I go free diving every summer at the florida keys. I live near water great app. Use to only stay under for 3:00 now can for 5:00 minutes while swimming!!! Download now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good app. I can practice apnea training through this software. The design is very simple. Choose different training modes. Improve my breathing techniques.

Interesting training.. I really find this app interesting and as I really wanted to train to hold my breath underwater longer. It is all true but practice must be done carefully as with the app guides you.

Good for beginners. If you're serious about apnea training, look elsewhere. If you want to hold your breath a little longer, go for it

Rob. Awesome app! Great break in the day to think about surfing

Was hoping for more. I didn't find the instructions to be particularly useful. This app doesn't have CO2/O2 Tables, which many divers find to be very effective. The app basically has 4 main features: 1) inhale, breath hold, exhale; and 2) inhale, breath hold, exhale, breath hold; 3) timer; 4) ability to log sessions. User interface is nice

Very goooood!. Excellent application, worth it!!

AWESOME!!!!!!. Excellent app probably the best .99 cents in this category...I live in Hawaii and speardiving is a must over here!!! Rand alot!!!!!

it works. A great help to me apnea trainer application. It offers three different training mode. You can improve my breath hold time.

Great. Helped a lot, was worth the money

There is space for improvement !!!. Good app, O2 & CO2 tables would be nice in future update (very important for apnea training) and some minimalistic iOS8 redesign : )

It works !!. I tried it and it worked really well 4 me

Grate app. This app is grate in just one week I did it 3 times a day is went from 33seconds two 1:33seconds this app grate not a waste of money it's totally worth it.

Yes!. I love this! How often is too much?

Very disappointing. The 5 star reviews here are very misleading & a little fishy, this app cannot do very many things. No o2 or Co2 tables. A little better than a stopwatch is a very good description. Very dissatisfied!

disappointed. I refuse to update to IOS6. Ios5 is better over all, no bugs, and I get to keep google maps. Now you are leaving me in the dust.

Great. This app has made some awesome improvements over the versions. Naturally this is the best yet.

Great app. Great features and starting to see great results

Free diving practice. Awesome App. Great for training for free diving!

Awesome! Keeps getting better and better!. Love the updates!

Good. I live in Florida and a life guard this app has helped me hold my breath longer. wether I'm helping someone or just swimming at the springs. the app was worth the ¢99

Great. In accordance with the training plan for the training, it helps you improve your breathing techniques, to extend the time spent underwater, great.

Great app. Finally able to hold my breath for a min and half down under while swimming!

Excellent. Great app! My only complaint is for the reminders, it only shows up on the lock screen, NOT the app itself.

USMC swim. This app is perfect if your training for advanced swimming in the marine corps

handy app for divers. it is a handy app for divers to stay longer underwater. I also could train your breath to have more oxygen.

Simple and easy. Great

It's great. I like the new Improvements in the last update. This is really easy-to-use. I use it in conjunction with my daily meditation and it works great.

Good app but.... Does not work in background when navigating away from page. Good breath holding techniques but why have no option for C02 tables?

Great app. Fast and affective and a fun challenge

Worth it!. Works great!

It does help. This app doesnt work magic and wont suddenly give you a 5 minute breath hold. That being said, it is very useful and allows divers to control their breathing and help reduce your heart rate. Its pretty enjoyable.

Missing how to use instruction.. It's very simple time table app. Without any useful guide. Wouldn't buy if I knew that.

Good but.... Vibration feature not working with new update

Great app. I used to be able to hold my breath for 20 sec, now I can hold it for about 1 min 30 sec

Great app. Doubled my max static breath hold from 1 min to 2 min in just 6 days.

Great trainer!. Looks awesome and works flawlessly! 'Was just what I was looking for.

Great App. Does what it's supposed to!!!

Awesome. Help pushmy time under past 3 min

Best out there !!. Feel free to pour this Goodness all over your pancakes ... App is simple and effective !!

Diver. Excellent app has what you need to break the barrier!

cool. Here’s the perfect app to help you improve your breathing technique and let you stay underwater even longer on your next diving vacation. Good app

a must have. great app & easy to use

Simple and great. Simple and great

Audio not working.. Countdown and vibrate modes do not work on my IPhone 5s.

Awesome app. I started off holding my breath at 1 minute 11 secounds now after using it i can hold my breath for 2 minutes 5 secounds!!!

It works. Works as advertised. Key is practice.

Good. As strange of an app as this is I am a firefighter and it has actually helped me increase the time of my air bottles. A very useful skill for me. Awesome app guys.

5 stars excelent app. Love it 💛💛💛💛💛 nice work with this app... 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
