Seems like a great app. Basically a timer with a heart rate tracker.

Since the most important thing in meditation is respiration, and being respiration deeply connected to your heart rate, I think it could really make a difference in peoples lives.

Would love to give it a try. There are plans for an Android version?

Yes, I'm developing an Android version, but platform fragmentation is a bit scary. And yes, there's actually a breath bar in App to help you regulate your breathing. It animates in 5 second increments, allowing you to breath in steady patterns. At this point (two months of practice) I breath in 20 second increments (so four bars up and down).

Is there anywhere that an interested Android user could sign up to get an email when the Android version is available?

I'd be happy to help beta test, and I'm sure other Android users would be interested in helping out as well.

Yep, woops, being a single founder of a company means you make dumb mistakes like this. I'll get one up right now.

Edit: Done. http://eepurl.com/t7DzL

I'm so happy you guys are using a real email address validation software!

I just had to take over yet another person's itunes account this morning because they signed up using essentially my gmail address but with a period in it somewhere.

I don't know where the trend to no longer validate email addresses came from, but it's made my life hell because I was able to get a firstname@gmail.com address while gmail was in beta.

I'm looking forward to trying out the android version when you have it available.

Thanks! Subscribed.

It would be interesting to see what the subscription stats look like after a day/week.

I look forward to using your app

Bingo. We hear about some new iOS app and are interested but we're Android users. I would gladly give the developer my email so they can ask me to revisit this later if/when they've got something/anything for Android, but I'm not going to remember to come back to this or heaven forbid poll/monitor it.
