Not what I expected

The app being titled “balance: chronic illness care” gave me expectations of things like symptom trackers, maybe resources for symptom relief, accessible workouts for different chronic illnesses, recipes inclusive for all dietary needs, etc and this is more like a healthy living app than a chronic illness care app. I gave it 3 stars because it isn’t a bad app, just not at all what I expected when I read “chronic illness care” and see tags of my diagnoses, like MCAs pots fibro dysautonomia, I just don’t see how this app would help me to better track symptoms and care for myself therefore it isn’t really useful in my daily lineup

Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback. I’m so sorry the Balance App was not what you expected. I completely understand where the disconnect came from. Balance is not meant to be a symptom-tracking app, as there are already several tools out there that do that well. Our goal is to provide the next step: supportive resources to help individuals with chronic illness implement the lifestyle pieces that can help minimize flares and better manage the day-to-day, including gentle movement, nervous system support, foundational habits, and nourishing recipes. The Balance Tracker is designed around 6 core daily habits we recommend focusing on to support the body, rather than customized symptom logging. We’re also continuing to build out the app’s libraries, and we’ve recently added options like Gentle Bed Stretch and Seated Shoulder Strength to better support flare days and conditions like dysautonomia and POTS. The recipe vault can also be filtered for needs like gluten-free, paleo, and low histamine. Your feedback is incredibly helpful and shows us that we need to make our messaging even clearer about what the app is — and is not. Balance was created from both professional expertise and lived experience with chronic illness, and our heart is truly to support this community well. Thank you again for sharing your experience!

Highly recommend!

Whether you’re a beginner or beginning again due to some health challenges… this app is great!
The simple daily tracker is a great way to concentrate on simple daily changes that can make a big difference!
Another bonus to this app is being able to choose between meditation, yoga, stretching, gentle movement, too challenging workouts depending on how you and your body are feeling that particular day! Highly recommend!

Thank you so much for this sweet review! It means so much to hear that Balance is supporting you whether you’re just getting started or starting again through health challenges. I’m so glad you’re enjoying the daily tracker and the flexibility to choose what your body needs each day. Thank you for being here and for sharing this! 🖤

Easy to use

I love how easy this app makes working out! You don’t need a separate timer if you need to switch a workout for something else you can it. Don’t know how to do a move there’s a gif right there to show you. I love the added feature where it shows you what’s up next too! Just press start and you’re good to go.

I know you've always loved the workouts, but glad to hear you are loving the new app platform! Thank you for your kind words!

This app is GREAT!

It is so easy to follow and I love the whistles. It’s like she is standing over me telling me when to start and stop and i don’t have to count myself or find another app and make all the settings match. The workouts are challenging as they should be and it’s gray how she varies each day.
