Prana Breath News:Main
Editors’ Choice label on Play Market
A few years ago we’ve written to Google Play Market support team with the question for what reasons “Editors’ Choice” label is given and how to apply for it. Unfortunately, the answer was as unclear as possible. Meanwhile the Internet was (and is) full of mysterious stories why and how.
A few weeks ago, as we accidentally visited the page of Prana Breath on Play Market, we’ve seen the Label! No notification, no email regarding this event – surprise-surprise! Anyway, we’re glad this little mysterious label may help some users to start improving their lives through breathing )
