Wasn’t great to begin with, much worse now – Calm Review

I used this app for a while a few years ago. It wasn't super useful to me, even then a lot was behind a paywall, but I like the guided breathing exercise. I stopped using it and deleted the app at some point. When I downloaded it again recently, a lot had changed. The front page is now almost entirely paid content and the breathing exercise I used to use has been moved and was pretty hard to find. Also, you used to be able to adjust the breath pattern more, but now you have to have a subscription for anything other than 4 seconds inhale, 6 seconds exhale. There is very little content in this app that isn’t behind a $70/year subscription and they don’t even let you read descriptions or listen to previews of a lot of things, like the sleep stories, so you know what you’d be paying for. Used to be good for the breathing exercises, but now that they’re harder to access (not what I wanna deal with when I’m stressed), it’s completely useless to me.
