Thank you for this feedback, this must be a glitch and I will look into it right away. If you are able, trying signing up here: https://portal.flowly.world/ If this still doesn’t work please call or text us and we will set it up for you: 323-545-3659


Thank you for your support! Yes, if you have multiple people in your household we recommend everyone have an individual membership so you can track personalized data, but if you’re willing to share a Kit we can give you a heavy discount for each additional membership you purchase. If you decide to do so just email me directly and I will set you up myself: celine@flowly.world


Yes definitely. We are in the process of redesigning our website to better reflect relevant studies. Our own studies will be published end of the year.


Thank you for your interest. Currently we're not operating outside the U.S. because our shipping operations are limited, however, if you're very interested we'd be happy to send you a Testflight link to try. We've had a few members pay for international shipping after they tried the app via the Testflight link.


Ya. I am particular to try out the app itself without hardware first, to see how effective it is. May I know how can I request for the Testflight link? Thanks.


Thank you for your support, we'd love to hear your feedback. We always recommend family members have separate accounts so you can keep your data tracking individualized, however if your wife tries a session with your account and is interested in her own membership, we'd be happy to provide a Family discount! Just email me directly at celine@flowly.world mentioning this and I will set you up. Also I love to remind members they can call us at 323-545-3659 when you set up your Kit for the first time to help answer any questions and get tips.


Amazing, we have started working with pediatric pain and kids with anxiety as well. Thank you for sharing.


Recommend partnering with corporations, particularly with wellness companies (they already are sold into businesses).

Many corporations fleets of work iPhones and offering them a way to improve performance is money to them. Reducing turnover to a Corp can be huge, numbers vary, but hiring a software engineer is often tens of thousands of dollars.


Thank you for the suggestion, it’s something we’re excited about exploring and actually will be launching Flowly for Teams with a few companies soon. If you have any ideas of people to reach out to who might have interest or even just advice to share, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me: celine@flowly.world


Thank you for this feedback because we are still trying to work out how to best present information on our website. Do you think the pricing should come up earlier on the homepage?


I don't mind scrolling down to find pricing information. It's not a problem to first describe the benefits and then to describe the price.

The problem is that you don't have pricing information on your homepage. "Join today for $29.99 to start." could mean anything: $29.99 for three days and then $200/week.

All you need to say is "$30/month" on your homepage somewhere and then I know what the price is.

If you don't tell me the price I'm going to assume I can't afford it :)


That makes sense, I will convey this to our team as we redesign the website. Thank you for the feedback!


Right now we calculate something called Resonant Frequency Breathing Rate which is the unique breathing rate each person can breathe at to best optimize their Heart Rate Variability. We calculate this Breathing Rate through data derived from our Heart Rate sensor.


I have to read into this answer a lot. Would it be accurate to say that the app calculates a "target" respiration rate, then provides visible or audible cues (e.g. a metronome) to tell the user exactly when to inhale/exhale? So the "actual" respiration isn't measured, but that isn't very important as it's quite trivial for a user to follow "inhale now", "exhale now" cues to the necessary degree of precision.

Did I understand that correctly?


Yes that’s essentially it. We calculate your target/ideal breathing rate and then have breathing guides during the session for you to follow. Then you’re able to see your heart rate graph in realtime and understand how it changes with your breathing.


For many people this is relevant for chronic back pain originating from bad posture. Our clinical studies actually focus on chronic back pain. But of course, everyone's case is unique so I would say it's worth a try, but I'd love to hear your feedback.


We have had Flowly members who have carpal tunnel, however our clinical studies did not focus on carpal tunnel. I would say this might be worth a try to learn how to regulate your nervous system to better manage the stress and pain from carpal tunnel, but of course I'd love to hear your individual experience and feedback.
