Highlights：
• Breathing training can be beneficial to individuals’ health and wellness.
• Mobile apps are a new tool for breathing training but lack formal evaluation in the literature.
• We compare three different designs, representative of those employed in current apps.
• Our analysis includes users’ physiological parameters as well as subjective perception.
• A way of visualizing breathing patterns improved traditional audio-only instructions.
