Reviews
Useful tool
Azahru
Lovely useful tool. Wished it tracked exercise better (an hour of Aikido counts as nothing because it seems to be based on gps) and can't wait until sleep monitoring is added
Keep on breathing, just keep breathing!

This app paired with the spire device has been nothing short of life-changing. I've practiced breathing properly for several years, so I thought I was "pretty good" at it. If it weren't for this app, I would never have known how often my breathing pattern changes and even more frightening... I had a habit of holding my breath during stressful situations! Now when that happens, the device vibrates and the app reminds me to keep on breathing. Thank you for a wonderful product and service. I recommend the Spire to anyone who wants to improve their breath awareness.
Apps that really impact your life!

A surprise gift for Fathers Day: love it! Really focuses you on the daily rhythms of life and makes you aware of how to live life a little bit better, happier, and healthy too!
Requires Spire Stone
Joelapp
This app doesn't tell you until you install and try to create and account that it requires a "Spire Stone" which costs $129. This is not free. It is deceptive in my opinion to not say so up front
Fantastic and very accurate
Golf Fanatic 1
I have some anxiety from time to time and this really helps me remember to breathe properly and has made a enormous difference. Very accurate as well.
Issues with iOS 11
Kati Jane
It’s a cool concept but the hardware isn’t reliable. The device doesn’t stay paired especially since the update to iOS 11. Everyday I have to fight with it to get it to sync. Bummed I wasted the money.
Software update needed
Stuglix
I like the hardware, seems mostly accurate and makes me more mindful of stressed breathing. The software needs an update, it is regularly the highest consumer of my battery since the last big iOS update. Also sometimes the software says it can’t find the device when it’s nearby and charged. Device can only hold 6 hours of memory, so reliably syncing is important.
