Hello AppleVis, good evening from Ida and tonight I'm going to be doing a podcast app demonstration of an app called Connected Breath.

This is a meditation app that connects people from all around the world to do a meditation together.

So this app works just similar to apps that are social media apps where you can connect in real time with people but you can't communicate with them.

It simply shows you how many people are using the app at a time.

So if I open the app, open Connected Breath, this app is used in portrait mode and the first thing we get is to select breathing duration.

You can do one, three, or five minutes.

I'm going to select three minutes and then I will show you what happens.

For anybody who's curious, I'm using an iPad.

I'm using Daniel as my voice over voice, the compact version of Daniel because I like him better than the enhanced and I'm using an Apple keyboard that doubles as an iPad case.

So you can choose to breathe for one, three, or five minutes in this app.

I'm going to double tap on three minutes and you're going to hear a bell.

And then go to the bottom of the screen, okay that message is going to change throughout the meditation.

I will show you, okay so that's the starting sound and then breathe in, breathe out.

This message is changing with the music.

Breathe in, breathe out, and now it's going to change.

You are breathing in and then it's going to tell you how many.

Seven other people are currently connected right now.

The stars in the distance are the people breathing, that's the visual representation.

We are all breathing together, we are all connected, I guess I don't need to repeat.

Now close your eyes and focus on your breath.

Now the rest of the time it's going to say breathe in and breathe out over and over again.

And for those of you with perfect pitch, you will notice that it's saying breathe in on the C chord and breathe out on this like A minor type chord.

So if you don't want to constantly listen to the messages, just listen to the music and follow the music.

You hear the peaceful nature sounds in the background?

You kind of hear a breathing noise too, it's kind of creepy honestly.

Breathe in and breathe out.

See it's still changing from breathe in to breathe out.

And it will…
