Personal Zen App Reviews

Downloaded twice. Crashed upon opening both times. Not able to use.

Keeps giving notifications in my lock screen on my iPhone 4S even though the app is not in the notification center in my settings. Other than that the app does what it says.

I downloaded the ap at the suggestion of a friend. I suffer from PTSD and I get anxious when Im in crowds. I play the ap on the subway and on the bus to and from work and it actually does calm my nerves. The scoring mechanism does make me competitive with myself, which at times adds stress instead of relieving it, especially since it doesnt allow for higher scoring on higher levels. I also feel like it is pretty static and somewhat repetitive. I would like there to be a little more dynamic interface in terms or the speed of transitions and the ability to beat your personal best by playing faster. Over all, it serves a purpose and the dialog in my head is changing.

Make me want to throw my iPhone at the wall. The fn thing barks at you when you dont do what it wants!!!!!!!!

Downloaded twice. Wont even start

Is this a joke? If so it is hilarious. I get it.

Im sure you could study any game and find playing it for 25 minutes reduces stress. Any game takes your mind off of things and focuses it on something else. So why not actually play a game that is interesting for 25 minutes, instead of this one which is dumb and boring after 10 seconds?

There are no instructions for how to play the game. The so-called tutorial consists of a couple sentences that make no sense. Dont waste your time downloading this.

Maybe Im missing something, but I trace along the grass "path" and the game wont accept it for whatever reason. Sometimes I have to draw it 15 times, and from what I can tell Im not doing anything wrong. Maybe if the path werent indicated by large patches of grass it would be easier to know where Im supposed to be drawing it? Very frustrating, which defeats the entire purpose!

I found this very calming. Just the thing to wind down after work. If youre looking for a game this might not be the app for you.

I think the joke is on us who downloaded this. Feelin like Patrick Star

Repetitive. Nit sure where the relaxation part comes in...

The app force closes for me, too.Restarted device. Redownloaded app. No zen. Needs better QA from Apple and the dev.

Wont open on my 3rd gen iPod Touch.

Very fun and relaxing, great idea. You may want to update the tutorial, seeing as some simpltons cant understand to play. Otherwise, I have no complaints, please keep it up!

I find this relaxing to play, but there is no explanation on the objective or maximizing your score. Im guessing gold stars are worth more points, but it escapes me as to how to actually achieve them. It cant be speed, but it isnt accuracy either, as missing some will get you gold, and sometimes a perfect trace will get you purple, or even a red. Please update your tutorial or at least add a more thorough and more accurate description to your app page. Given the variability in outcome, Im guessing that the game is actually just pretty buggy and its almost irrelevant what path you trace.

This game was confusing and annoying, everything from the sound effects, to music, to the visuals is poorly designed and implemented.

This app wouldnt open even after restarting my device and then deleting and downloading it again. It was very frustrating.

The swipe starts at the hole & moves away. Beginning the swipe as soon as the sprite disappears is more important for earning gold than the speed of the swipe. Gold > Purple > Red.

Not sure why sometimes there is a happy sprite or sometimes an angry sprite. I actually find it stressful to not know how or why they respond in the way they do. Sometimes the path is broken and you try to follow it with your finger and you get an angry sprite. Not sure why that is. Developer needs to clarify the user interface and give some guidance as to what is happening.
