Wim Hof Method Breathing&Cold for Negative User Reviews
✓ DisappointmentI purchased your app in July 2016 and the guided breathing was included albeit without a timer. I also paid a supporter fee voluntarily for you guys to develop your app. All the updates of your app have not benefited me as a one time purchaser as you have introduced a subscription and taken away the original features I purchased. Now I have to subscribe and the only free service available is some literature and some videos and a timer. If I want to use a timer I only have to use the stopwatch on my phone..Version: 6.5.10
✓ A little sadI am so heartbroken the guided breathing exercise now has to be paid for. I have loved this app for so many years but am so sad I don’t have access to this simple aspect of the app anymore :(.Version: 7.2.1
✓ Great while it lastedI have been a WHM practitioner for 3 years now. It enhanced my life in several ways. Thank you Wim. There is enough free info on the net that u don’t need the app. However, I purchased it anyway for iOS, as I found it very useful when doing breathwork and the price was right. But then after a while something annoying happened. It stopped working correctly.I started getting registration prompts. This went on for a bit, but I was still able to work-around and use the app. Then the whole thing went off the rails when one day I opened the app to discover I had to start paying a monthly charge if I wanted to continue. I don’t mind paying a one time fee for an app. But I’m not going pay monthly, especially since I already paid the one time fee to use the app in the beginning. On top of that none of my old registration info works anymore. Not on the website and not in the app. So even if I wanted to use it, I can’t, since I can no longer work around the registration prompts. So I will be uninstalling the app. A one time fee is fine. I do think the $5 monthly subscription is steep for what u get, especially for practitioners who only use the app in a very limited sense, breathwork for example. Goodbye WHM app..Version: 6.1
✓ “Dark” Mode apparently…I use to enjoy the layout and aesthetics of this app, particularly the dark mode - it’s essentially a good app, however now it’s not the sleek, beautiful dark mode it once was - more like a “rainy-grey day” mode…. It’s killing the vibe as I use to find the aesthetic as part of the joy of using this app - please go back to the original colour-scheme for dark mode (or at least find a better colour scheme!..) as the current one is depressing and not very motivating at all…. Thank you 🙏🏽🙏🏽.Version: 7.2.2
✓ Needs improvementThis app needs improving for what people use it for which is relaxation. In particular for the guided breathing exercises. The problem with this app is the exercises put you into a state of very deep relaxation but then the app expects you to rouse yourself and have to fiddle and fumble around with double taps etc. to stop the retention phase or stop the guided breathing rounds all together. Many times I accidentally hit “finish” when I meant to just stop the retention phase or have fallen asleep but then been woken up by Wim’s voice still going. The app should give you the option to pre-set the retention phase time and pre-set the number of rounds you want to do and then stop by itself when those rounds are done. There are plenty of other breathing apps out there that let you bliss out or drift to sleep in a relaxed state after the breathing exercise is done. This isn’t one of them..Version: 7.2.0
✓ WHY??!!The app was perfectly efficient with each of the exercises running along the top as buttons. So why add an extra level of clicks with 'Explore Exercises' before you can choose one? Also, after adding the Results of an exercise, the app now jumps back to Results making it a pain when you want to add the results of several exercises (Push-ups & Forward Bending etc) as you now have to, yet again, navigate from Results to Home, to Exercises, to your chosen exercise. Add your result, at it which it jumps back to Results! Now my finger seems to be getting more exercise than my lungs! 🤣🤣🤣🤣.Version: 5.3.3
✓ Broken User ExperienceGood app but they broke it by focusing on money instead of serving. There are still plenty of ways to make money in the app, the basic breathing exercise should have remained free. 5 free breathing sessions just doesn’t cut it. I am forced to delete the app, and profile data then reinstall every 5 uses. Not a good user experience. When the power of love overcomes the love of power/money, the world shall know peace..Version: 7.1.0
✓ Great app and method but too expensiveHaving to pay $8 a month for something as simple as the breathing bubble is kind of ridiculous. I love wim hof and his method, and this is a good app, it’s just too expensive. I don’t understand why there is a subscription model, as it’s not like a breathing bubble requires ongoing development and reasources..Version: 7.2.1
✓ Really want to use this watch app but crashes on launchEvery single time I launch it on my watch it very briefly shows the start button, then crashes out. Have tried reinstalling a few times, always the same result..Version: 4.2.0
✓ Terrible subscription modelCore features of the app locked behind a subscription model. These core features are basically a journal and a timer. I am a big fan of the Iceman and his methods but this is just a really poorly done app and business model. I wouldn’t mind throwing money at a one time payment to support the Iceman, but this sort of subscription model is a poor show.Version: 7.3.2
✓ New update 3.7.1 👎The new update has the same issue. It wasn’t fixed. When logging exercises you still can’t log anything via the calendar. Just need the ‘Log Exercise’ tab to be put back into the individual calendar days so you can log multiple exercises for that date. Currently, you have to do it through the exercise and change the date every single time..Version: 7.3.1
✓ DisappointedPut the functional breathing bubble behind a paywall. Only used this so not paying for the rest. Sad.Version: 6.5.4
✓ Subscription ruined the app for me! No use now.Wim, why, why, why? Why you guys did monthly subscription on the most important part of the app - breathing guided session? Subscription price is extremely high for that feature alone. I was using the app regularly, now since the main feature that Wim claimed is free... now subscription based, I see no use for the app!!!.Version: 6.0.0
✓ Premium for a featureThe bubble feature for breathing is one of the most valuable feature to have some guidance with the breathing. The price requested for a monthly fee is exaggerated and not aligned with the philosophy of the method. Sorry. I’m out..Version: 6.0.0
✓ The developer removed features I paid forI have the developer money. I no longer have access to anything as far as I can tell. Even the fixed breathing bubble requires a $20 monthly subscription. Stay far away. Any money and time you invest in this app would be better invested in tools and time to aid you in your practice..Version: 6.1.2
✓ I can’t believe they added a subscription to it.1 star for adding a paid subscription service to the guided breathing. I bought a WHM course some years ago and had full access to the app. Now they have locked portions of the app behind some rubbish paid subscription. I don’t believe this is in the “spirit” of Wim Hof Method and this sort of predatory monetisation is what’s wrong with today. Everyone trying to rip you off. I will never recommend this app from now on..Version: 7.1.2
✓ Overpriced and lots of bugsI didn’t have too much of problem paying for a subscription as I am new to the Wim Hof Method so I did not have a comparison of the app prior to the subscription model update. That said it would have sat better with me if the app actually worked. Right now its only function is a stop watch. It’s not recording my progress whatsoever so there is not a journal component. Because of this I can’t move forward in the challenges. The exercises have remained locked despite completing the prompts to advance. I cannot really give a full review because the tools available to me are so limited, but as it stands $15/month or $35/year for a stopwatch is incredibly overpriced. Definitely pass for now. Hopefully they work out the issues and rethink the pricing. I m was optimistic that the app would be a bite sized way to start practicing the WHM while on a limited budget. Guess I’ll stick to the free videos out there and the stopwatch on my phone for now..Version: 6.0.1
✓ Great, but shame about the recent updateThis app has really helped my mental health, but unfortunately the last update doesn’t seem to have been tasted properly so after your first round of breathing Wim Hofs retention words are spoken over the breathing so you have Wim simultaneously telling you to breath and hold your breath. I’ve tried for a few days with this, but it just throws me off so I’m going to look for an alternative app until this is fixed..Version: 6.5.7
✓ Whm is 5 Stars - the app is notSadly there’s bugs - I have the paid subscription but get “InvalidStatusCode” errors every time I try to sync the app and my profile. Badges don’t seem to track what they say they track - or they don’t unlock when they are supposed to. The last update was 4 months ago. I’ve emailed customer support and they say “please give us your patience”. I still use parts of the app daily but it just isn’t up to the quality of a subscription based paid app like Reveri or the like. I hope it improves. I’m a daily practitioner of WHM and it’s frustrating that the “official” app isn’t better..Version: 7.1.2
✓ DECEITFUL BEHAVIORI purchased the course 4 years ago with the promise of lifetime access to the app. Recently my account was switched to a subscription and told this was company policy and they will not honor the original deal. Shameful treatment of their customers. Do you expect me to pay nearly $60 a year for a recording of some guy breathing? Also, please don’t answer this review with your pre written garbage about the subscription being a small fee. YOU CANNOT SELL A PRODUCT THEN ASK SOMEONE TO PAY FOR IT AGAIN..Version: 7.1.2
✓ Timer numbers became too smallThe retention timer and recovery time counter numbers became really small. I used to be able to share sessions with my wife and people in the room. Not anymore. May be an option to change the number size? Also, at the end of the recovery breath there used to be a short pause (earliest version). That was really good to recompose before going into the next round. Swallow, take a drink, etc.. I mentioned this in another review when this was changed in the last version, and I am disappointed nothing has changed. Perhaps some settings for number size adjustment, and pause time after recovery breath? Thank you..Version: 7.2.1
✓ Don’t waste your time and money!For those that supported them early and paid a premium for them to now take it all away and make you subscribe instead, I empathise with you. Don’t bother subscribing, hop on YT and use the guided breathing there instead! Don’t fall into their trap!.Version: 6.5.13
✓ GlitchesI love the app idea, features and the program! The app itself I have had trouble with. Twice I have tried to access the beginner challenges and it closes the app when I attempt it. The first time I logged out and couldn’t log back in and my account was lost. Created a new one and had to start all over and now the same thing. Went to access my challenge and it closed up the app every time I select it. It’s very frustrating and don’t want to have to start over again. It could be great without the glitches..Version: 7.1.2
✓ Beginner guided challenges are no longer free to accessI love the man and his work but I'll not be paying a monthly fee for just using one feature from the app..Version: 7.2.3
✓ Need updated support for Apple WatchThe method is life changing, I do 3 rounds almost every day and have benefited tremendously - stable mood, a better handle on my depression, increased motivation, increased cardio output, increased confidence, I feel more youthful. The benefits are innumerable! However, the Apple Watch app is in dire need of improvement and why I gave 3 stars. I got an Apple Watch for Christmas, and after putting in over 9 hours of retention time on the iPhone app, I was looking forward to using the Watch. The idea of simply tapping my wrist to start and stop retention time is fantastic! Unfortunately, the Watch app seems independent from the iPhone app. No options for music customization, nor can I expect to choose the amount of breaths or the frequency (slow, medium, fast). This is quite a let down - guess I’ll be continuing to bend my neck to find my phone and double tap to enter retention mode for now! That’s all to say, please update the Apple Watch app to make it more in line with (or even linked to!) the iPhone app. That would make my year!! The iPhone app itself I’d give 4 stars, as improvements needed are few. Mostly it’s fantastic, and I love all the customizations! I’d like the option to add or remove Wim’s voice on top of the breathing music, as I was used to him being there with the music and in a recent update his voice is gone..Version: 6.5.13
✓ I’m sure it’s great but…The content itself I’m sure is great and the app certainly looks very nice but without the option to download the paid for courses for offline viewing it is next to useless to me. In 2021 I can’t believe this is still something app developers of these content driven apps don’t realise. Especially for something that is essentially a fitness app and a large portion of the user base must use it when on the road. We don’t always have a stable connection to stream and there is nothing more frustrating when you are trying to breathe and meditate and the content keeps buffering. I was going to buy the fundamentals course but if I can’t download it then I’m afraid I can’t justify the purchase. Also the iPad version doesn’t rotate to allow horizontal viewing which I’m sure is a bug but an annoying one..Version: 6.5.8
✓ Great app, love Wim Hof Method, upset about subscriptionWhen I first got this app, it was free to use the Guided Breathing Bubble, and the Shower Challenge. This really helped me get into the WHM as it’s hard to count your breaths and it’s good motivation. I paid to unlock some of the other extras. I was even considering buying a course too. But then all of a sudden they switched to a subscription model. They say it’s only a cup of coffee, but I avoid buying coffee, as I can’t afford that extra cost in my life, especially not every year (and who knows when they’ll raise the price next) I’m sorry but can’t you just charge for other extras like before and at least keep the Guided Breathing Bubble free? (5 free sessions is really not enough too if you’re just starting out). Thanks.Version: 6.1.4
✓ Latest update ruined guided breathingYou guys have no idea how to run a business. Shame on wins children the guys trying to help the world and his greedy kids just want money. Clown world. Raise your kids better Wim.Version: 7.3.2
✓ Appears that free love..ISN’T free!!Have been using the app for 2 years now as a daily reminder and have also been to Poland to see the big man Wim himself, who I know definitely doesn’t care for wealth. Yet as of today, I have to pay a monthly subscription to continue to use the features of the app,..what a sad world we live in at the moment!.Version: 6.5.12
✓ Cold showers and push upsThis app has not improved in the years I have had it. It’s just a couple of videos, each explaining how to do the breathing exercise you can easily find online. Couple this with a video about doing push ups and one about taking a cold shower, some others on stretching. There appear to be in-app purchases but nothing makes me want to give this app more money. Fan of the concept but I just keep coming back to app updates to find nothing new in content for a paid app. Feels like the updates are just a way of refreshing the reviews for the latest version, but I’ll continue to take the time to warn others that it is not worth the money..Version: 4.1.5
✓ Disgusting GreedMany have complained that the breathing timer being being a paywall is greedy, which is so very true. But the real indicator of their greed is that *dark mode* is behind a paywall too. Desperation has clearly been enabled..Version: 7.0.1
✓ How can I find the new pricing?I’ve been using the app for a few years. And now they decide to charge but there’s nothing about how much they’re going to charge??? So this is disappointing that they’re not upfront to explain ahead of time. I’ve got 5 sessions before they start charging , but how much? Anyone know? They have been good with their covid 1/2 price sale on their courses..Version: 6.0.0
✓ No more guides breathing unless recurrent payments?Im very sad and a little bit offended to see this, once amazing app, downgraded itself to a monthly subscription… i feel this is not in the mindset of the practice.. why would you guys offer a free service to switch it up to this garbage kind of business model.. im very disappointed.. but i will keep my vibrations up but not with your product anymore.. i can’t support a company that is downgrading their services to make people pay more for something that was already free.. its starting to look just like apple, youtube and all these other companies who were great once, but somehow have lost themselves to the profit making mindset.. have a good one.Version: 7.1.1
✓ Awful update ruining the reputation of the WHMWhen I first started my journey with the WHM I was impacted so greatly by it that I decided to support Wim by purchasing the premium features within the app. However, recent updates have completely wiped clear my access to the features I have already paid for and has now transferred to a subscription fee. Complete scam that is being run by Wim’s son who seems intent on milking every last penny out of his fathers legacy. I’d recommend using other platforms to learn the method that are free and just as comprehensive. And if like me, you find the method to have a great impact on your well-being then maybe consider supporting wim by purchasing his book. But as far as this app is concerned, don’t bother....Version: 6.1.4
✓ SaddenedSame sentiments as Aftayellow.Version: 7.3.0
✓ Was enjoying itThis has been part of my daily routine since the spring of this year and I have enjoyed using it. I even took the 10 week original course. I’m saddened to hear of the new subscription model which will make even the guided breathing bubble unavailable unless I pay a monthly fee. This is the one part I use daily, but I will not be subscribing. I would be willing to pay a one time in app purchase but not this. I would still give 5 stars if it weren’t for this..Version: 5.5.0
✓ Fix thisI have been doing Wim’s breathing now for 11 months five days a week. I use the app to breathe along with the sound of Wim’s breath. I like the automatic timer for the the recovery period. It appears now I can no longer use that part of the app, you turned it off with only the stop watch. I now have to pay money for ONE exercise and am most disappointed. I recognize we all need an income, but this has become excessive and draconian in nature. Perhaps in time as I expand my practices I would indeed subscribe to additional training. But this is a giant turn off, that everything has been whittled away leaving a student with next to nothing. Come on, Wim promotes his “free” app, of which little to none is now free. Does he know about this? What would he say if I asked him his thoughts?.Version: 6.1.4
✓ Does not work offline/inconsistentThe WHM is wonderful, the app unless paid for is garbage. And if you pay for it, it is inconsistent it what is available from month to month, to the point where it was stressful to open it and try to do the guided excercises you did yesterday and suddenly it is unavailable or doesn't work the same. A system such as this that could do so much good in the world should just be free and donation supported if they need money. There's many people struggling that would benefit greatly from a free fully featured version. Removed app and downloaded "RESPIRE" that is free with no in app purchases Thanks for sharing your light Wim, app, not so much..Version: 7.1.2
✓ You can find it all for free, and not deal with robo customer serviceTheir email(and only worldwide) customer service team is an auto reply bot, or someone who just doesn’t care to answer your questions/comments. I made a comment on the new app, that it sucked they changed some previously free exercises to pay only. They answered my complaint with a redirection to their FAQ, saying this line of communication wasn’t for my type of inquiry. Even though that is their ONLY obvious line of communication. When I expressed that this reply only further frustrated a loyal WHM methoder they didn’t reply at all. I still use the method, duh. But my opinion of the entire organization has declined significantly. They don’t seem to care about the concerns of their app user’s at all. Prove me wrong WHM..Version: 4.1.2
✓ Keeps crashing and is not entirely freeI just started using the app and at first I thought it was wonderful with all these different exercises and tools, however just a few days in and the app keeps crashing whenever I try to start a challenge. I’ve closed and reopened it several times and it’s still crashing so I’m going to be removing the app from my phone. I love the Wim Hof method, and it has been truly transformative to my life, so this is not a review about Wim or his method. Please fix the bugs so the app can be used! I am also not going to be paying for a subscription. Everything has a subscription these days and I know it’s all the rage to have tiered content, but if Wim is advertising it as a “free app” the reason I downloaded it was thinking it was actually free. I was quite disappointed that I have to pay a monthly fee to do more than 3 breath exercises. I suggest examining other revenue models to make this app feasible. Thank you.Version: 7.1.2
✓ Needs workFirstly the WHM is amazing with tangible benefits. However the app needs a lot of work. I feel there could be a better introduction explaining what he will teach. The 30 challenge has no focus. He never talks about technique or what to focus on or even has a daily theme. It’s just him repeating that it’s all been proven by science and “it’s all there”. The breathing timer also needs an option to set the amount of rounds you want. I also didn’t appreciate being locked out of the courses after paying a subscription. There isn’t even an option to buy them through the app. These are glaring issues that are easy to fix..Version: 6.1.7
✓ Disappointed FanI love Wim’s method, I bought his books and practiced cold shower for more than a month now. When I started using the app was happy to have stickers for my achievements and it is a great app. But i have to say I am extremely disappointed when they updated it as everything I was enjoying for free became a subscription. To be honest I never write review but I am very disappointed in their commercial approach. To use a timer and get stickers for 15 pounds a month is not right. I would be willing to pay a one off fee but certainly not a subscription. The commercial approach is too agressive and have to say it is putting me off. Will be using my phone timer for now..Version: 6.0.0
✓ Monthly subscription way too expensiveRemoving free basics and switching to a prohibitive monthly subscription was really a bad move. I will not be using this app anymore..Version: 6.1
✓ DisappointedThe guided breathing was free. Now only available through a monthly subscription. I think a one time fee is more appropriate.Version: 7.2.3
✓ App implantation poorLooks like changing business philosophy not in alignment with purported WHM philosophy. Greed is double edged sword. Also, first person experiences would caution older persons pertaining to serious side effects of these practices. Largely anecdotal info pushed as scientific fact!.Version: 6.5.18
✓ Pricing structure is wrongThe monthly subscription pricing model is bad for you guys. Comes across as greedy. You’re going to lose people and send the wrong message. Instead of a monthly fee, charge a one-off payment if you care how people perceive you. Use the app as a tool to help drive people toward your courses and there people will be happy to pay much bigger amounts. Of course it’s up to you but you must be aware of the really terrible reaction many people have had toward the app payment strategy and I’d listen to your customers if I were you. A £10 one off payment for the app and I’d buy it. A monthly subscription feels totally wrong and I’d never go for that..Version: 6.0.1
✓ Even Wim Hof has become a grifterGreed & profiteering rear it’s ugly head yet again. Can’t even use the guided breathing basics now without having to pay an $8 monthly fee. Sad. I paid hundreds for the 10 week online course, paid hundreds more to attend the in person workshop and I support the app and recommend it to everyone. The least they can do is keep a basic app function free of charge. Ridiculous. I remember at the workshop too Wim stated that he wanted his method to be accessible to everyone, now he’s putting even the most basic app features behind a paywall. Shyster hypocrite. Change it back ASAP!.Version: 6.5.13
✓ Ridiculous subscription$20 a month? Seriously... As someone who’s used this app ever since it’s inception and who’s advertised this app and the WHM to numerous people who ended up paying for the course and had their life altered, this comes off as super shady tactic. You took the options that were already there when I paid for it and put them behind a paywall? So, I’m left with a app that I paid for that serves me no purpose except as a portal for my courses, which I also paid for.Version: 6.0.0
✓ Big fan but app needs workI have been following the cold shower and breathing programme religiously for 3 months and it is one of the best things I have every done for both my mental and phyical abilities. However...the app is currently very basic and I do not think warrants a £6 charge every month. I think you should charge a one-off fee for premium or at least a lower rolling cost. I belive Wim Hof wants everybody to access this 'skill', but do not think this price reflects his ideology..Version: 6.5.12
✓ “Progress”I began doing wim hof method before he was on joe rogan years ago. I’ve seen the app change over the years. The first app version was my favorite. Lots of good feeling wim videos, totally unprofessional and unpolished- you can see his pure heart. Smiling, all you ever needed. I wish i could see the video of him teaching breathing to the skinny kid in sweatpants again 😂 I understand his children got involved, I feel it has suffered immensely since then. Very gimmicky making money app now. Cheesy beyond. All he wanted to do back then was share his gift with the world, teach it to impoverished folks who need help w disease...but not it’s $300 to see him in a stadium w a thousand other people 😂 it’s all good , i hope it gets folks interested in this... but in the beginning- he said to not let your breath all the way out, now he does... a little confusing there. also you used to hold in your final 30th breath... retention... a little confusing. I’m glad I learned it 4-5 years ago, it has helped me immensely. Unsure of what it is today. Wim is a great man, I appreciate what he has taught me..Version: 4.3.1
✓ “The core exercises will remain free”Love Wim and his goal for the world but Your promo video for the subscription says “the core exercises will remain free” and yet the breathing only gives 5 times. Too bad. I wouldn’t mind a small fee but $8 a month so I can calm my breathing down isn’t desirable and the false advertising in the video is a turn off. A free trial on the subscription would also be something worth doing so people can see if they want to try the other features..Version: 6.5.13
✓ Subscription model cash grabLoved the app & have been doing the wim hof breathing daily for about 18 months after purchasing the originals course. Next thing you know there’s a subscription model & you have to pay for the app features & guided breathing bubble I used daily. No thanks, I won’t be subscribing & find it very disappointing they’ve done this. Would’ve thought people who have paid for a course would have access but doesn’t appear so for the original course.. Thanks & goodbye, I’ll be deleting the app from my phone sadly & will just use a stopwatch to do my breathing..Version: 6.5.13
✓ Crooks — Extortionists4-5 years ago I paid for the Wim Hoff course, paying almost $300 for it and access to the tools to practice the learnings in the course. There’s rarely updates for this app, but recently there was one or two. I go to do my morning breathing — I’ve been doing it everyday for 4-5 years — I all of a sudden get a pay wall. This asks to pay $5.99 p/month or some obscene amount for the year upfront… just for guided breathing. I then email support and explain how unfair it is to now charge again after me already paying, and no response from them to say anything. I’ve been an active member for half a decade and they won’t even respond to an email. Wim Hoff, you should be ashamed and embarrassed!.Version: 7.1.2
✓ New updates often break the app - get it together dev.I’ve been using this app for years…there have been issues occasionally. With the past 2 updates I have experienced login issues. Now the interactive breathing section is not functional because “there is an issue with contacting the server”. This basically made the app useless to me. I’d contact support but this is a dev issue. Also.. not really important to me but the badge system doesn’t work and hasn’t worked for a while. I’ve completed many of the milestones but I don’t get the badges. Probably going to unsubscribe and just use a stopwatch. If you are hoping to use this app for interactive breathing don’t subscribe as this functionality is currently broken..Version: 7.3.0
✓ RipoffI paid for this app a few years ago, it didn’t have a pay per month/year back then...it was a one time payment. Now I can’t access it without paying more, I emailed and got a bot reply...what a ripoff guys...really?!?.Version: 6.1.1
✓ Cmon man.I love the WHM and I loved the app. For a small fee I was able to utilize great features that helped me learn some of what Wim Hof has to offer. And for an extra fee I could have unlocked additional training training programs, which I was about to do. It was really helping me. Then the monthly subscription fee came out and the terms of my original purchase were void. That’s how they getcha I guess... It’s a bummer that the training app meant to teach its users mindfulness lowered itself to the standard of a magazine company but here we are. I honestly would have paid more for the app as it was before, but not a monthly subscription. The reason being, I can’t justify paying a subscription for something I can’t use every day. I’m so sorry to give it a bad rating Wim. You had a good thing going; you really did. And I imagine you still do with your in person classes and seminars. But for those of us who cannot attend such things, or fully utilize the program every day, we are lost. Oh well. Onto the next journey. I wish you a good night, or a good day, and a good life. All the love, all the power. Stay frosty Ice Man..Version: 6.1.7
✓ Wim Hof son runs the app?Love the dude, but upgraded & suddenly the free breathing bubble is no longer free. huh? Don’t think I can use this app anymore :( If this is his son choosing to go in this direction, you are tuning your fathers reputation, don’t b greedy lol.Version: 6.1.4
✓ Guided breathing screen misalignmentI am using this app on my iPhone SE 2020 model. I set up my account using the Facebook login method a year ago on both my iPad and this iPhone. This morning I went to use the app for my breathing session and I was logged out and not able to login via Facebook. I have checked approved apps on Facebook and reactivated the app as it was showing expired on use Facebook credentials The strange thing is I can use the app fine on my iPad. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers John.Version: 7.2.3
✓ Annoying surpriseI paid a one time payment in 2016. I remember Wim saying something along the lines of - it’s a one time payment because I want everybody to be benefiting from this. I would use it in chunks, a few months on a month off. And always in times of stress. The guided breathing is incredible in these situations. I went to use it a year ago when life got stressful and found out I was kicked out and had to resign up under a subscription. It was upsetting. I’m all for people making money, but a warning perhaps? Maybe a special offer for those that did the “one time payment” program. It’s a great app, but disappointed in this business move..Version: 7.1.2

✓ Was a great app then everything became a premium featureI used to use this app to do the breathing method and got to 3:30 retention during my breath hold. Then the 5 dollars I paid for premium became a 1 year redemption towards the subscription and then I would have to pay every month. It’s a shame to see this happen again to another good app. BMW saw this and said let’s do this with our heated seats. TLDR. Only useful feature is the guided breathing and that feature is a paid sub when it was apart of the paid app. Now 5 free guided breathing until you need premium. Sad to see. I’m sad to see the excuse that such a complicated app that took forever to develop not change in 3 years but only change how they monetize. It’s sad to see someone with such a powerful message become corrupt with greed. It’s a literal stopwatch/lap count app with voice lines. Let’s not oversell it or mislead anyone. I respect what wim did and his journey. I don’t respect how he changed and the message he made for all become for those who can afford it. 5 dollars was an affordable one time fee. Becoming a subscription that’s greed. Also responding with the same message to everyone who disagrees instead of taking the feedback. Disappointing but what else do you expect when you become corrupt chasing the money. That response got me annoyed..Version: 7.1.2
✓ Latest Update interface a step backBeen doing Wim Hof breathing exercise for 3 years now. I love it. However, the update I just got overnight is a step back for the app. I use the retention timer daily. Now the ‘start’ and ‘stop’ buttons are tiny it makes it really hard. When you’ve been holding your breath for 3 minutes it really helps to have a nice big button like it was in the previous version. Maybe the developer is Amy actually using it as that would explain it..Version: 7.2.1
✓ Still buggyApp still needs work. No Wim voice on retention phase. It’s only present on breathing phase. Music doesn’t stop during breath hold (after retention phase). Then on next retention, the music track resumes from a random point, as if it had been playing all along in the background. WHM itself is 5* but for app currently, 3* is being generous as the guided breathing is mainly what I pay subscription for. Hope you guys can fix these bugs. Thanks..Version: 6.5.10
✓ Severely Disappointed With The New Subscription ModelI have purchased the app, fundamentals and power of the mind course only to now be met with a paywall for the bubble. I’ve been fine with paying hundreds of dollars for the courses but 20$ CAD per month is way over the line. I thought paying the 5$ for the app a few months ago would cover this. Also a very odd time to release this model. Disappointed..Version: 6.0.0
✓ Not a free appVery deceptive you are led to believe the app is free, and of course in typical Capitalist fashion they isolate themselves by letting you download it for free so they can’t be held liable for making false claims, you get to use it until you enjoy it then it locks up and begs for money. What a world..Version: 6.5.11
✓ Poor supportI could not log in for at least 2 weeks while having a subscription. the support team replied about once in 3-7 days and in the last email claims that that (quote): "It looks like you had previously blacklisted us. We have now taken you off the suppression list, and our emails should once again reach your inbox. Breathe," So many questions: - whm app has a suppression list? - _I_ blacklist people? That's a pretty harsh accusation. - What does blacklisting even mean? (if they mean sending them to the spam folder - I checked the spam folder and there are no whm emails. I don't know what else they can mean). - "Breathe"? Nice brandng, but to end a false accusation condescending email with "Breathe" is not the best publuc relation strategy. To sum up, I like whm and I liked the app before. This current trend of dismissing users, accusing them of something they did not do, and not fixing a bug that prevents these paying users from using the app that they paid for for at least 2 weeks is ... not nice..Version: 6.5.12
✓ Guided Breathing changesI’ve been doing the Guided Breathing exercise for more than a year now and there have been a couple of changes recently that have made it worse for me personally: - too many taps to get to the exercise - speed has changed and currently neither normal (too slow) nor fast (too fast) fit with the previous setup - there used to be a cue at the end of the exercise where Wim holds his breath before exhaling and the count starts, giving me a bit of time to prepare, this is no longer the case and now the audio abruptly ends - prompted to “share” every time after I finish the exercise, I shared it in the hopes I never see that pop up again but it keeps showing!.Version: 6.1.5
✓ A good little app that needs workI think it’s a little expensive first off but I gave up smoking recently so I decided I would bite the bullet and invest in my health what I would usually spend on tobacco. The save a note never works for me. I’ve written several really thoughtful notes I was hoping to be able to come back to but it doesn’t work. I don’t want to share with my friends who are not into this but would love to share with this community the app keeps banging on about. Would be a real worthwhile investment if you had access to a chat or forum function of some sort where you could see other people doing the same work as you and achieving their goals. If this function exists and I just can’t see it then I’m sorry and I’m happy to revisit this review. I love the talks. I’m not in love with the exercises but I’ll get on with them anyway. The breathing bubble is lots of fun and I love the various prompts! … makes me feel like Wim is there with me. However there’s lots of problems that leave me disappointed when it comes to not being able to properly see the challenge I’m on on the home page, not properly understanding the difference between the challenge I’m on and the one being presented to me on the home page — like, is that asking me to join or to continue?? Overall it’s okay but for the price it should be much better..Version: 7.0.1
✓ Ruining wims legacyMonetizing everything Wim Hof makes him look like a hypocrite. There’s nothing here that isn’t free elsewhere. Shame on you..Version: 7.1.2
✓ I paid for this app now they want a subscriptionWhen this app came out it had a free version and a paid version. I liked it so much that I paid for the full version. Now they want a monthly subscription more than the cost of what I paid for originally. I no longer have access to what I originally paid for. Such a bad and greedy move, very disappointed. What happened to my original purchases, no one said it would become subscription in the future, you guys have ripped off the original supporters who paid for this app..Version: 7.1.2
✓ Needs tweakingRetention timer is great but the Reset & Save buttons areTOO BIG👉Accidental touches mess up my session & the only way to save a record of it is to run the timer again, that is, if I noted my times B4 they were lost. Please shrink these buttons & make a way to add in times without having to run the timer again.Version: 7.3.2
✓ No longer can sign in as of Oct 9th 2023I’ve been locked out of my active account - when I try resetting my password I am given a message that my account doesn’t exist. This app helped me get my mental health struggles under control - I’m somewhat in limbo now. Please help.Version: 7.2.3
✓ Greedy hoff?Not every app is worth subscription model. Everyone is greedy, but disappointed to see hoffs being so greedy especially after all that big talk. Deleted..Version: 7.1.2
✓ Stopped workingI’ve happily used this app over 18 months. I paid for it in May 2022 and renewed in 2023 for another year. Past week I’ve experienced issues but put it down to needing to update the app, which I did. The app has now logged me out and I cannot log back in. When I go the website to reset my password my email address is no longer recognised, as though I don’t have an account at all. So now I cannot use an app that I’ve paid for and have been using with no issues for 18 months. Really frustrated and annoyed..Version: 7.2.3
✓ Latest update not so goodI’ve been using this app for awhile to track my breathing sessions. Sometimes I’ve noticed when checking my result history session data is missing which is annoying. Also, why did they move the breath timer from the Home Screen? Now you have to tap three different buttons to get there. Also after finishing a session it used to automatically take you to the results screen. Not the case anymore, you have to tap out of the timer and go back to the main screen which silly. Some of the time I will accidentally bump the stop button during a breath hold. Maybe they could add a “slide” or “hold to start/stop” feature to avoid this happening..Version: 6.4.3
✓ Update ruined the appI loved the app until the recent update where I got logged out of the app and now cannot log back in. I’ve paid for a year subscription but can’t get in with either logging in via Apple login (how I originally signed up - but not it says “the user credentials are incorrect. the user credentials are incorrect.” And I tried to “sign up” using my email address but it said the same error message. (*facepalm*). So I got about 2 weeks worth of use for an annual subscription that I can no longer use. Hopefully customer support will respond to my email and help me fix this issue because I really loved it before this happened! If so, I will definitely update this review to 5 stars..Version: 7.2.1
✓ Latest changesI really loved the app, but the latest changes are quite difficult to absorb and justify. It went from free, to 15£/m or 35€/y. And it's get all or nothing. If I use only the guided breathing exercise, I still have to pay for the rest, there's no way to choose what you would like to get. And I'm not complaining about the paid part - I already did purchase some of the features before so I can support the effort, even though I don't use them. I just think that the current plans are quite unreasonable. Also, IMO, the UX has changed for the worst - the way you select the amount of push ups by scrolling, than by inputting the number is definitely not friendly. I'll happily revise my review if those things are addressed..Version: 6.0.0
✓ Previous version was betterI simply loved the original version of the app, to the point I used it as an exemplar for a UI design course I am doing. The new version has lost its clean style and simple usability, it takes more clicks and scrolls to get to my daily breathing exercise. It’s a shame. Although I love and admire Wim Hof and am deeply grateful for what he and his family are bringing to the world, I am disappointed about the move to a subscription model. It’s “just a cup of coffee a month”, but it adds up overtime and does impact a limited budget. Mytake is that the new app is now worse and more expensive than the original. I hope others don’t feel the same and that the technique continues to spread. Much love..Version: 6.0.3
✓ Courses3 stars due to how the subscription model only works. + course content you purchased is easy to access. Overall good app. - if you purchase the Power of Mind course, which is $470 or 60 percent off if you already purchased the classic course, you still have to pay a monthly fee to access the Power Breathing from the course. It doesn’t show it as locked but still takes you to the pay wall..Version: 7.1.2
✓ Unusable appDon’t bother install, the signup/signin is impossible => keep getting unable to connect to server or something like that. Note: using Signin With Apple.Version: 6.5.14
✓ Waste of moneyToo many changes Can’t make apples to apples comparison with my data before their upgrade Contacted Matylda in Wim Hof support and they can’t remove the new confirmation screen, for example This confirmation screen requires 4 seconds to close so if I did 1000 sessions average 1:44 now I need to be doing 1:48. But after their upgrade, all my data is messed up.Version: 7.3.0
✓ Subscription Lost MeI used this app daily to track my progress. Improved my quality of life tremendously. Since the subscription was introduced, I am no longer able to use the app. The breathing timer and other functions that are claimed to be free still, will not work for me. So the app is totally useless unless one pays the monthly fee. While I support Wim and if he needs the income, I’d love to be able to support him, during a pandemic that’s not the best move. From a marketing perspective, I believe the app should be free, as a tool to draw people into the WHM. From there, the dedicated users (those who complete significant progress in the app) could “level” up to the subscription for a fee. This would be a great incentive, plus a tried and true method of establishing quality, invested, repeat customers. But charging this month for the app itself? That’s the quickest way to alienate a portion of your customer base and offend the rest. This app is still fantastic and the developers did a great job. It’s just too bad it’s not free anymore..Version: 6.1.4
✓ Subscription service is well over-pricedI purchased the Wim Hof fundamental course in April 2022 and didn’t even hav access to the app for one year. I used the app together with the course to track my progress and do the exercises etc. Now I find I can no longer access any of these tools. I find this hard to believe this is something Wim Hof would want. The course and app together were fantastic. Now the app is basically useless to me and manually tracking my progress as I do the course has added a level of difficulty..Version: 7.1.2
