What happened to this app? I hadn't used it for awhile and I come back and the sound is horrible broken. It used to be gentle fluid ambient sounds. Now it's broken static that cuts out constantly. Kinda defeats the purpose of the app when you have to rip off your headphones because of how painful the sound is...

This app is addictive and provides a cathartic experience set to very calming music. Building the blob with your finger is cool, too. You listen to the waves lapping and the birds chirping while crowding out the thoughts and fears that eat away at you daily.

Good concept, ruined by some basic issues and non responsive devs. Looks like the project is dead as no updates for over a year. Devs are active on iTunes though. Shame I won't use sheeple equipment

I bought this after o experienced it on the iPhone. I totally liked the iPhone haptic feedback. I searched for it here on my s8+ and was so glad to find it, bought it and guess what? It doesn't have the haptic fee. Disappointed.

It only work as a mild Concentrating refocus tool. Not much benefits of having this apps.

Great, but glitchy on prior phone, saying too fast or stopped, *for the very same speed*, so kicked me out once it went to the later part of the game when you have your eyes closed. Good again on new phone, so mostly OK, now, but adding a sensitivity adaption level slider to the response time AI would be helpful.

Way more relaxing than I expected. Love the music. Hated meditation until I tried this!

Nice app, seems to work well. It would be great if it had haptic feedback, since there is no way I am reading the screen with my eyes closed :)

Unable to full screen in samsung s8 !!!! I pay for it!!

I am very impressed with this app. It provides a nice alternative focus to the breath when meditating yet provides me with as much or more results as far as focus, mindfulness, and calm. I do wish the difficulties were a little more strict to the speed and to any change in speed. I was able to go to Master after only two short sessions on lower difficulties, and I am certainly no master meditator. Well worth the purchase, though, and a great alternative to my Headspace guided meditation app. Well done.

I've been having a tough time focusing on meditation. This app makes it easier. Moving your finger along very slightly while closing your eyes is engaging enough but at the same time doesn't require so much brain power that it distracts you from actually meditating. Good balance. I use it to fall asleep at night too. Highly recommended. I would give it a 5 star rating if it had a bit more variety. I'm hoping they've got some more ideas for future updates.

I bought this product because Google Store indicates that it is compatible with my device. It installed well but unfortunately it does not work. The message reads: "Your hardware does not support this application, sorry!" I contacted the Google Store and they say they are not responsible for the product. I contacted Ustwo to some email addresses I found. Nobody answers. Waste of money :(

**edit- wooden knocking sound!? Seems to keep happening after about 5 mins. Cant turn it off and cant find a reason for it. Ruins the effect. ** such a simple concept wrapped up in a tactile moment of app genius. I have been trying to meditate for a while now and I found something lacking in all the apps I had tried. This stunning little app has finally done it for me. Spot on devs. The only improvement I could suggest is alternate sound scapes. Streams, rain that sort of thing

Most of the reciews here classify this app as an arcade type of game that you have to do something. This is not the point. The point is that it is not supposed to be anything special, but rather relax and calm yourself with the experience provided.

Only one thing to notice: when the circle reaches its maximum size, you're able to see the upscaled textures which takes from the premium look.

I've changed my tune after using it for a while b4 i go to sleep and it does seem to help me relax and sleep better.

I wish this existed 15 years ago when I first started trying to learn how to meditate. It allows you to still have thoughts, but you can't hold onto them because you have to focus on maintaining contact with the org on-screen. I love it!

Nothing to do should be free. Very bland calming maybe but still over priced.

This app creates a sense of mind full relaxation. The motions of moving your finger across the screen seems to create a pattern and focusing on the pattern... without controlling it becomes meditation.

Pause is methodical, zen and relaxing in every way that matters most. I can spend one minute, or ten, immersed in my headphones, unwinding my tensions in a way I never thought possible. Pause is beautiful, both to look at and to listen to, and I couldn't recommend a better relaxation technique; especially one that incorporates elements of tai chi.

Quite relaxing but within 2 minutes the circle gets so big it completely fills the screen making it a bit pointless. Maybe needs an update to account for different screen sizes. Audio mute option would be good also.

Absolutely amazing. I have been using it since the day it came out. I have been in love with it and my anxiety attacks have deminished greatly... Thank you All of you wonderful people... this app is amazing...

I wasn't sure what to expect, but I've been subject to a fast and increasingly stressful mind in recent times. I keep meaning to take up meditation, but keep putting it off. My first Pause session lasted almost 5 mins, but even 1 minute in I could feel my breathing slow and my shoulders relax. I was surprised this was so effective! Thanks Ustwo and Peng Cheng for Pause, totally worth the price for a bit of inner peace. Enjoyed your blog entry on its creation!

I actually trading Chi kung and Tai Chi.... This is nothing like that. I can see what they're trying to do, but this is pointless.

by Q####:

Thanks for this lovely app. It would be good if, when you closed your eyes and, removed your finger, that the music died down much more slowly and not so abruptly to help continue the sensation. Otherwise such a lovely simple app. Thank you

I wish I could dive through the screen into the peace this app helps me achieve.

by M####:

Really, it is repetitive and predictable. I have to keep my finger on the screen or else the timer will stop and I will have to start everything from the beginning, and this actually makes me tense

M70%
by M####:

Looks and feels promising, will need to use it for a bit longer to find out if it works. The interface could use some feedback though about how long one has been pausing and how long there is left, after a while I felt like an idiot moving my finger over the screen with my eyes closed ;).

I don't know if the sound is linked to some sort of specific feedback, but time will tell...
