  3. Download the beta through the TestFlight app

Android

  1. Go here and opt into the beta by clicking “Become a Tester”

FAQ

Android: I don’t see the beta in the Play Store”
You’re probably seeing a cached / old version of the Play Store page because it saves app pages you’ve seen before to load faster — You can either wait a few minutes and load the Play Store page again or clear your Play Store cache (long press the Play Store icon, click the (i) or ‘App Info’ button, click ‘Storage & cache’, click ‘Clear cache’)

“Android: I want to leave the beta!”

  1. Go here and opt out of the beta
  2. Go to Paced Breathing in the Play Store (direct link)
    (if you still see the beta, see the above problem)
  3. Click ‘Update’

“iOS: I want to leave the beta!”

  1. Open the TestFlight app
  2. Click on Paced Breathing
  3. Scroll to the bottom
  4. Click “Stop Testing” and confirm
  5. Go to that App Store and download Paced Breathing (direct link)
    NOTE: this last step is important because it reverts you back to the public version of the app

“iOS: It says I have to repurchase PacedBreathing+”
This is a limitation from Apple. Subscriptions while beta testing are totally separate from subscriptions outside of the beta. This is so beta users can test out free and paid features without actually having to pay. This means that:

  • If you bought PacedBreathing+ outside the beta, you will have to re-signup when you join the beta BUT that beta subscription is free, so you won’t be charged again.
  • If you signed-up for PacedBreathing+ within the beta only (which is free), then either leave the beta OR the beta version gets publicly released, you will lose access to PacedBreathing+
  • If you bought PacedBreathing+ outside the beta and signed up for it within the beta, you’ll see no difference (you’ll always have PacedBreathing+)
  • If you didn’t buy PacedBreathing+ outside the beta nor did you sign up for it within the beta, you’ll see no differences (you’ll never have PacedBreathing+)
