Really like the idea, but it doesn't quite get there – Pause: daily mindfulness Review

I was expecting a little more from this, given that it's a paid app. I knew it was just "thumb tai chi" and wouldn't have anything exciting to it, but I also didn't expect the "lava lamp" aspect to disappear after a couple of minutes in a session (the bubble grows as you go, eventually growing larger than the screen such that you can't even tell if it's still moving with your touch). I also didn't expect it to be so easy to just forget that you're doing it. It's supposed to be a focus for mindfulness, but really, it's so simple that it would be more effective to hold a very full cup of water and use that as your focus point. Tai chi has forms to give some structure to the controlled movements, this does not. It also has no minimum speed, so you can just creep your finger across the screen and defeat the purpose. If it was free, it'd be a nice app, but for 2-3 bucks, it's not worth it.
