Ohms: Wellness & Performance 4+

Ohms has helped me develop a “breath work routine.” But it also compliments my meditation practice, exercise program and overall mental health. I’ve been using for nearly three months. In that time Ohms has got thru several changes to its UI, layout, content, etc; all of which has been very positive. I use this app daily. Thank-you.

Edit: I forgot to mention Ohms' price. Normally I loathe subscription plans; I prefer to own my software. Ohms, on the other hand, has a very reasonable yearly fee.

Thanks so much for the very kind words and for being with us over the past few months. It means a lot to hear that Ohms has become part of your daily routine—and that the changes we’ve made have felt like steps forward. We're always looking to speak to users to keep improving the experience. If you're ever open to speak more I'd be very keen to, just email me at sushir@yourohms.com.

The developer pushed out this app as free, built their user base, collected user data, then implemented a bait and switch paywall with no notice and no regard for early adopters.

To be clear, paying for a quality app isn’t an issue for me. I take issue with the lack of transparency, and the bait and switch tactic. Also, if a developer is going to charge for use of their app, they should NOT collect user data or at least offer users the option to opt out of data collection. This developer is charging users twice… you’ll be paying with your data and with your cash… both in perpetuity.

With 40,000 new apps landing in the iOS AppStore monthly, developers need users much more than users need their specific app(s). Devs that disregard users and employ shady business practices won’t make it far. Reward devs that are ethical and user-centric… blacklist those that are not.

We really appreciate your feedback because it highlights the importance of good communication, and we didn’t achieve that here. We apologize and want to improve this. To start I want to address all of your concerns.

Transition Notification:

We started sending notifications about the transition to a paid app a few weeks before the change (through an in-app message, an email to those subscribed, a post on our subreddit, and the Ohms website). However, we see this didn’t reach everyone as it should have, and that’s our responsibility. We’re sorry for not making sure everyone was informed.

Your data is not sold:

We believe you shouldn’t have to choose between paying with your money or your data. Your data is yours, and we don’t sell or monetize it in any way. That’s why the only paid feature in Ohms is data analysis—everything else is free.

Your data is private and you control access:

All of your data is processed on your device, and none of those computed outcomes leave your phone. You also have full control over the data you share with Ohms, and you can turn this off at any time. Our privacy policy https://www.yourohms.com/privacy explains this in more detail, and we’re committed to making it clearer.

Trust is at the heart of what we’re building, so we’d really like to hear more from you to understand how we can get better. If you’re open to it, reach out to me at sushir@yourohms.com.

Love this app. They say world peace comes from inner peace. The breath work exercises as an example is great because it gives you the option for a quick 2 min session to help you regain focus, and they also offers a standard one to help you regain calmness and serenity in world of overstimulation these days. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a great mental health app. The features to read your health parameters is really cool too!
