So great!

This app is really great and helped a lot with my chronic pain and anxiety. As a complacent human being, though, I stopped using it and when I decided to return I found there was no way to reset my progress. It says if you start step one again in a plan and answer the questions that it will present them in chronological order again from the beginning but that doesn’t work on all of them. Not that big of a deal, I’ll keep using it, it just would be nice to be able to reset everything after taking some time off because essentially you are starting over at that point.

Get the upgrade honestly

I’ve been using Balance for three weeks straight now. One week on premium and I’m already finding it much more helpful. The app layout is so clean, it’s interactive and so many meditation options too. My personal favourite is the morning brew meditation.

Whether it’s midday, morning or night, whether you want to focus, calm down or reduce stress, CLEANING, they have almost everything. You can build on skills such as breathe focus, got me feeling like tanjiro, I am hereeee

The Only Wellness App I Want

I got the lifetime membership years ago when i was in college; I don’t use it enough. It helps me fall asleep, helps me relax when my anxiety is high, and just works SO well as an app. Reviewing this right after doing the “Wind Down” pre-sleep meditation, so this is straight from the horse’s mouth.

A lifetime membership was the best Christmas gift I could have given myself

I received a year for free from this app in 2020-2021. In December, I realized I would miss this app more than I would miss a hundred bucks. I took them up on the deal they were offering that year and I am so incredibly grateful. This app has vastly improved my quality of life. It has helped me get to know myself deeply enough to advocate for myself in mental health settings. In a way, Balance is why I am now medicated and thriving. Ofosu, Leah, thanks for being guiding stars.

Great companion app

Have used this app for years, done wonders for my mindfulness and ofusu’s smooth voice has always worked

Wonderful

Just the best app ever to support change in your life for the better. Just wonderful

Great for meditation and work focus

I love the morning brew meditation to start my day with some mindful coffee time. I also use the flow state meditation to tune into focus time at work. There’s plenty of other great meditations I use too, those are just some of the main highlights. Would definitely recommend

Life changing

I have 2 aging parents with cognitive decline, one with dementia. I am the only adult relative either have. I had to have my dad put in a care facility. He lives almost 2 hours away. My mom, who lives alone 1 mile from my house has always been a very difficult woman. I’m trying to keep her at home as long as possible, but have taken on too much. This morning I could barely move my neck and jaw from the tension and exhaustion. I came back to the app and did 3 meditations. One of them had me take all the feelings I’m having and think of them as heavy bags I’m carrying and to put them down. I sobbed for a few minutes as I felt the weight release. I then did a gratitude meditation and then a wake up meditation and I now feel so much better. I will continue using this app as I deal with the hard days again.

Like a good friend

I can trust on Balance when I need to rest and renew. I also enjoy finding new meditations that are added throughout the year.

12 hours?

The amount of pop ups is annoying. The fact you cannot choose your own time frame is also a let down. The options are restrictive. I need a 12 hour option as I turn the sound on BEFORE I go to sleep. What is waking me up from my sleep is the sound dropping at 6am because it’s run out before I’m awake. It sometimes takes a few hours to fall asleep. I’ll pay for the app when you add a 12 hour option.

Really Helpful App

I like the way there is a balance of many different options and just a few. I always listen to the same voice, but there are many different types of meditations to choose from. I also like being able to choose the length of time I want to meditate. Great app all around!

Other options

This series is excellent but it would be great to also have more random guided meditations perhaps with and without music. Am I missing these?

Great App!

I’m am really enjoying this app. It has been a tremendous help in improving my meditation/mindfulness practice.

There’s a large variety of guided meditations. Every one I have used I felt that I received a blessing.

I’m thankful for the people who came together to make this app available.

For those new to meditation/mindfulness, this app would be a tremendous aid in helping you learn techniques that will help you focus, relieve stress and more.

This app also would be a blessing for those experienced with meditation. I’ve been practicing meditation for many years, and this app definitely helped enrich my practice.

It is an app definitely worth giving a try.

My favorite app ♥️

I originally got it to try it because I was looking into meditation. Fell in love with the plethora of sleep options they have…..and over the years they have gotten better and better and offered more and more. I ended up buying the lifetime package because I love this app so much. It helps me so much whether for sleep or meditation or just having to recalibrate myself throughout the day. Especially busy, stressful ones. Thank you!

Add more content regularly

ADD NEW CONTENT EVERY MONTH while keeping what you have the library has very little in it. Balance has added only maybe 3 new meditations since I joined 4 years ago I don’t care about the supposed “personalization.” That adds no value, event did change a meditation to match the info I gave, but it doesn’t even do that. The content is good, but every day it’s the same. It’s disappointing, despite being that what content you have is very good

Worth paying for

Had my free year and used this app enough that I paid for lifetime access. Well worth it. Try the free trial and see if it works for you.

Not free

It isn’t free

Love it

This app has helped my anxiety more than anything.

Love this app

I’ve had it for years now. I don’t use it continuously but every time I come back to it, it helps me immediately
