  • Demands a payment method

    I downloaded Balance to help with mental health and getting things done in a timely manner. The app walks you through setting up a care plan, tells you it will remind you in a year to cancel, and then demands a payment method to move forward. This app advertises as having a free year - but won’t let you use it without giving them access to a payment method. I’m sure I’m not the only one that uses an app 2-3 weeks, gets bored, and forgets about it and when the trial period expires - you get charged for something you’re not even using anymore with no way to recoup the charge. Which in this case is $70. That’s groceries and gas for a family of 3’s week. I also do not want to become dependent on the app, use it all year, and then BOOM, I can’t afford to continue. It’s a no for me.
  • Love it!!!

    I absolutely love this app. It has been very beneficial for me. I feel that it’s helped me to be more calm and improved my focus. As well as helped me to sleep better. I definitely recommend.
  • Meditation for all levels

    I truly love this app and recommend it to everyone I can. It has helped me learn new techniques, perfect others and find so much more that I didn’t know I needed. This app makes meditation and breath work easy for all levels to advance their skills through their courses or even just use the singles to match the moment. I personally love the singles. They help me destress, breathe, fall asleep and focus at work. Balance is constantly adding new material. I bought a life time membership after a instagram add offer for a trial because it was exactly what I needed. 5 star meditation app.
  • The IOS 16 Mistake

    I just want to tell you that while I love what Balance does and how you do it I think you are making a mistake leaving those of us on older IPads out in the cold. There is little to be gained by this move and a lot to be lost by cutting us out. While I will probably get a newer IPad at sometime this is not it. My machine functions well, the battery holds up and the display is great. I can't figure out why, with what you offer you can make the app IOS 15-17 compatible. If your developer can’t do that perhaps you need to get a new one instead of making us get new machines.
  • Good app, but…

    You offered me a free trial, even emailed me about it, then charged me. Apparently I’ve had a free trial on my phone before so you hit me for almost $80. Luckily Apple refunded it. So you got 2 stars for the app quality and you lost 3 for the ol bait and switch.
  • Literally Life-changing

    It feels silly to say an app is life-changing, but this app is actually life-changing. I’ve never thought meditation is anything I’d be interested in doing but this app makes it so easy. The guided meditations are easy to follow, they don’t have the woo-woo nonsense I was expecting, and there are so many options to fit any moment. Stressed? Sick? Starting the day? Ending the day? Woke up in the middle of the night? There’s a meditation for that. The guidance is helpful and unobtrusive during the meditations, but are also informative enough to allow you to apply it to other times in your day without needing to actually do a formal meditation. I enjoy the options to change the voices but they’re both very soothing. The benefits of the app are best once you’ve regularly incorporated it into your day. Although sporadic use of the app is still probably better than nothing, I started experiencing the most benefits after building it into my weekday morning schedule. I’ve found myself generally calmer and I’m sleeping better than I ever have in my life.
  • Love it but there are die downsides

    I think it’s great but some of the downsides are that you can’t really do anything unless you have a membership or something. But overall it think it’s better than calm app 🙂.
  • Worth adding to my meditation routine

    By Kymbrkat
    I already had a consistent morning practice through 2 other meditation apps when my best friend sent me the offer to try this one out for a year & I’m happy I decided to add it into my morning routine. I like how this one personalizes your practice to your current skill level, & while I was already familiar with most of the techniques they’ve covered, different people give different tips/perspectives which I feel are really helping to deepen my meditation practice. Even if you’ve been meditating regularly for some time, this will definitely still add value to your practice & if you’re brand new to meditating, I think you’ll love how they guide you through learning the basics. 🙏🏻🤗
  • Excellent app!

    I am just starting to learn to meditate, but I love the streaks and badges that keep you motivated to continue. The AI is helpful in giving personal prompts and feedbacks so it is not so generic. Love this, and as a wellness clinic owner, plan to share this with my patients!
  • This app helped me through a dark time

    By CaptR3dB3ard
    I discovered this app thanks to my therapist and I’m only 9 days in with multiple sessions on it a day. But I already feel better. I can notice a change in my focus and moving on from a tough breakup while in a ridiculously hard program that made me develop test anxiety. I’ve been able to get my life back during the semester that I was struggling in and I’m grateful for this app.
