Some UX suggestions about bdt HOT 7 CLOSED

Hey and thank you for all these suggestions and feedback, i appreciate that!

1. I just tried it and it seems that the vibration comes from the app-notification. I think the app should send notifications without vibration option when vibration is disabled. I will try to check that out and align it.

2. I see the point. I was also thinking about saving the selected duration together with the intervals/breaks.

3. I have never thought about that, but it could be useful for repetitive activities, true. I will put it into my agenda.

4. Cool idea! Don't know how to achieve this yet but definitely a cool feature!

5. I like the current design with the bar on top. But i understand your need. I could imagine an option to make the bar appear underneath the circle.

Thanks for open minded replies. I don't know if you are aware but if you fix number 1 and implement 2-3, your app will be better than 90% of meditation apps and breathing apps in the android ecosystem. Because they are basically interval timers with a bad UI to set intervals and their intervals are rigid so you need to make many interval sets for different length of meditations. Your one click interval setting and auto calculation is unique and very easy. After implementing these, I suggest posting about your app in Android and Meditation subreddits to reach more people. I stumbled upon your app accidentally and it deserves more users and I think they will appreciate it too.

Regarding number 5, I don't have a problem with the bar position since my phone is relatively sane sized :) I just wanted to point out that with giant 21:9 phones nowadays it might be too high. Not very important but you can keep this in mind if you think of a redesign someday or if someone complains about it.

Regarding 1: As workaround you can disable vibration for notifications initiated by Break.Down.Timer in the Android settings.
