Good app, dated on a couple fronts – Pause: daily mindfulness Review

I find the app really lovely. The initial blob is not something you’re following so much as something you’re leading. The aggregating color helps bring my focus to the session. Once the screen was filled with color, I began exploring the colors. The first time it filled with a gradient from blue to green to gold to orange from bottom to top. I found myself exploring these gradients and the way the direction of my motion changed my perception of them and how my finger obscuring parts of the gradient would make different colors stand out. This was all surprisingly engaging. That said, there are a few things this app really needs to rise to the next level for me: 1) Some sort of audio or haptic feedback for when you’re moving too fast. It instructs you to close your eyes and then puts feedback on screen in text. :\ 2) Update to support the full screen of iPhone X. Seeing black bars is distracting and using the full screen of the X would make the experience much more immersive. 3) An Apple Watch app. This would be a great place to offer feedback while the user’s eyes are closed. 4) Siri support to start a new session without needing to locate the app.
