Hi, welcome to the Plank Breather testing family
I'm an indie developer, and I'd love to get your feedback on my new app, Plank Breather.
The Idea & Philosophy
I've been doing planks for a long time, but I got tired of fitness apps that are cluttered with ads and stressful challenges. Staring at a timer, shaking, and just waiting for it to end isn't a great experience.
So, I built the app I always wanted: one that transforms the plank from a race against time into a mindful practice. The core idea is simple: focus on your calm, steady breathing, not the clock. When you control your breath, you find stability in discomfort, and your endurance grows naturally.
How it works:
The app guides you with a calming animation. Instead of just holding on for dear life, you count your exhales. This shifts your focus and turns a tough exercise into a form of meditation.
For those who want structure, I've created the Breath Program. It’s not a hardcore 30-day challenge. The goal is simple and sustainable: just add +1 calm exhale to your session each day. It's a gentle, organic way to build a powerful habit.
Key Features:
Mindful Timer: A clean interface with a breathing animation.
Breath Program: A guided plan to gradually increase your endurance.
Detailed Stats: Track your progress with rings, charts, and a calendar heatmap.
Gamification: Level up your mastery in different categories (Endurance, Stability, Consistency) and earn achievements.
Customization: Personalize the app with various themes and colors.
iCloud Sync & Widgets: Your progress is synced across devices, and you can track your streak from your home screen.
Testing & Feedback:
All Pro features are unlocked for free during the TestFlight period, so you can test everything.
I'm looking for any and all feedback. Specifically, I'd love to know:
Is the app's concept clear from the start?
What was confusing or inconvenient?
Did you encounter any bugs or crashes?
What did you like the most?
