So grateful for this app!!!

I started using Balance when I was at my lowest point in my mental health journey over a year ago! It has been the most helpful tool for me to staying present, grounding myself, getting out of my thoughts, and paying attention to what my body needs in the present moment. I love the sound of Ofosos voice he really helps calm you down. They give you a free 1 year trial as well unlike the other apps. This app has helped me truly love meditating and I love that I have added a new healthy habit to my routine ☺️

Excellent resource

Love this app so much. I find it so calming, love the commute and gratitude sessions as I find starting the day tough sometimes. Highly recommend.

Use daily

Best daily routine !

My favorite meditation app

I’ve tried all the meditation apps, and this one is my favorite because of the simplicity of the app and high-quality consistent meditations… I eventually ended up buying the lifetime membership

Scientifically proven to work

Getting through the Whole app almost. I like the fact that there are facts scientifically proven to work which make it seem absolutely worthwhile.
Wish they would do the life plan on a monthly basis.

I would give more stars if I could

I started with Balance during the pandemic - it helped me ground and center. I stopped using the app for a while but then 691 days ago a switched flipped and I realized I needed to get back into mediation. I have listened to just about every single they have from walking to eating. I can’t tell you enough how thankful I am for finding this app. Ofosu is AMAZING!! And so is Leah! They guide you through the mediations and their voices are so relaxing. With the help of Balance I have been able to keep my stress levels down and actually get off anxiety meds. I can’t recommend this app enough ( I recommend to everyone even if they don’t ask) I want to personally thank Ofosu for being with me (app wise) during some of my mental downs and helping me ground and center.

Balance in every way

Balance is one of the best meditation and sleep apps. I had it installed on my secondary Android phone, and after a year I completely forgot to cancel my subscription. The next day, the payment was taken from my account.
I emailed Balance’s customer support, explained what had happened, and in less than 24 hours they refunded the full amount.
That says a lot about the company. They genuinely seem to want people to sleep peacefully and have sweet dreams—not lose sleep over unexpected charges.
Excellent customer service. Thank you, Balance!

Best Meditation & Sleep App

I’m grateful to have this app in my life. The simply yet elegant style and fonts make it easy and readable.

I just keep coming back

I am not one to use mobile apps a lot. It definitely helps with peace of mind, one of my best purchases ever! I got the lifetime and never looked back. Every now and then i use it while im at lunch or waking up or even after a rough day. Never change Balance!

Sleep/peace

Absolutely love this app use it every day helps me to get to sleep or get back to sleepI’m do the joy gratitude I would love more happy and you guys. I think this would be a great platform for weight loss medication to do before you go to sleep. I would love that.

Minimalist Gold

From the app’s design, to the meditations, it has been my go to meditation app for years after trying many before it. They understand the importance of minimalist, targeted and personalized practice. Labeling is the focus of Vipassana meditation, the type the Buddha created and practiced, and Balance has helped me make it a part of my daily routine.

Get the lifetime app access if available

Please fix your software to stop asking if I enjoy this app and to write a review of it every day.

I’ve been submitting this review daily to get your attention. Are you paying attention? You don’t need to ask me every single time I use the app if I enjoy the app and to rate it and review it!!!

Good but not optimised for the iPad.

I’m a lifetime purchaser having used the app for a long time but it’s frustrating that the app hasn’t been optimised for the iPad. What gives? Why? It can’t be that difficult?

lifelong savior

so happy with the lifetime purchase. always there for an emergency and to practice daily for any situation. his voice is so calming.

Great tool to help start your day

This is a great app to learn and practice meditation.

Stop Look Listen and Pay Attention

This app is a lifesaver

This is amazing work

I’m just going to say that this is the best app to ever exist for meditation you’re not that bad at your job

Great content, but why is Facebook here?

I genuinely love what Balance has built. The voice options are excellent, the recordings feel polished and high quality, and being able to choose the length of a session makes it easy to fit into any day. What really sets it apart is how interactive the meditations feel. The app design makes the experience feel personal in a way most meditation apps don't.

Which is why I was disappointed to discover (via iPhone's App Privacy Report) that the app pings ep2.facebook.com every single time it opens. I'm a paying subscriber. There are no ads. So why is Meta receiving a signal every time I launch a meditation app?

This isn't a theoretical concern. Facebook's SDK embedded in third-party apps is a well-documented way Meta builds profiles on people across the internet, even outside their own platforms. For a wellness app, one people use precisely because they're trying to decompress and disconnect, this feels like a significant mismatch of values.

I'd love to see Balance offer paid subscribers an opt-out of all third-party SDKs, or at minimum publish a clear explanation of why the Meta SDK is present and what data is actually shared. Until then, I'll be switching to an alternative, which is a shame because the content itself is genuinely top-tier.

Seriously helpful for a beginner

I am an individual who has suffered from anxiety, enraged anger, and depression. Centering myself and taking time to guided meditate and relax has helped me more clear in my mind to perform tasks at hand. To be more patient with those I love. I called mediation a weird guru thing forever. But in desperate times I have given it a chance. Feeling the amount of tension I drop from the face to my shoulders and calming me down is just honestly been alarming. I’ve been on fight or flight for so long I didn’t even realize it. I recommend balance it honestly has helped me.
