I created an account and it would take me to a video that it forced me to try to watch, and when I clicked on the arrow, I got a white screen. Nothing happened you couldn’t swipe it. You couldn’t swipe out of it. There was nothing to push. It was just a white screen. So I deleted the app and reloaded it a couple of times before I could get it to work ### 4/5 — Schade dass nicht mehr teilnehmen *2024-08-27, version 2.7.5* Die App hat sich leicht einrichten lassen und die Bedienung ist im Grunde selbsterklärend. Allerdings ist nicht sehr viel los da. Schade! Da wäre wohl mehr Werbung von Seiten des hearth math institutes nötig. Dann sollte die App allerdings auch in mehreren Sprachen zur Verfügung stehen. ### 2/5 — The meditations are kinda off *2024-07-11* The moving more love through the body meditation suggests people are going no contact with their families because they disagree with them and not because they are tired of being insulted, used or abused…the person who narrates it sounds like she’s older. Boomers really do hate being held accountable for their behavior. No, you’re not being difficult if you don’t want to deal with someone’s terrible behavior. I don’t “agree with” my cousin’s lifestyle literally at all, but she doesn’t insult me constantly when I talk to her so I still do. It’s not about having patience or disagreement, it’s about self-preservation. Other than that the camera sensor works better than the actual earpiece ever has so don’t bother buying one. I don’t even know if I believe this mumbo jumbo. ### 3/5 — cant open the app *2024-07-01, version 2.7.4* when i open the app a videoplayer opens up and wont either play the video nor let me close it ### 2/5 — Bad design so deleted *2023-11-15, version 2.7.0* First of all the dev used such a low contrast that the print was virtually invisible- how is that good for me as the user? Low contrast is a bad design philosophy/practice. I’m lease stop it. Then to enter your birth date it forces you to scroll through month by month. Too frustrating. ### 3/5 — Privacy *2023-11-02, version 2.7.0* I love the fact of meditating with others from around the world. I understand why you want to know where people are, but in world where spying on people is normal, where even when I tell an app that I do not want it to track my location it will do as it wishes, I do not choose to turn on telling the whole world where I am, but then the app does not work. Please can you change this. Allow the app to work even if localised turned off. ### 3/5 — Can’t reset password *2023-01-23, version 2.4.0* I used to use this app years ago. I re-downloaded it and I can’t log in. I’ve tried to reset my password on the app and it glitches and says that an account is already associated with my email. I’ve also reset my email and password on both the HeartMath.com and .org sites. Still won’t let me log in. There is no email contact for tech support. I’m bummed, really wanted to get back into this. I used to enjoy it. ### 1/5 — No password please *2022-04-21, version 2.0.1* I will not use this app I f I have to enter a password every time I open it ### 1/5 — No 3rd party sensors and not working on iPad *2022-03-27, version 2.0.1* Although the app has the camera sensor integrated since v2, it’s still lacking the support for 3rd party Bluetooth sensors. We need to become a community more than ever and it all starts in the heart. Which the work of the HMI is all about. The app doesn’t open at all on the iPad iOS12. It goes straight into the background. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t open at all on my iPhone *2022-03-16* Disappointed ### 4/5 — Needs to be better *2021-10-21* 1. Needs clearer feedback signal for coherence level for the individual (center circle) 2. Needs to share data with iOS Health data, specifically Mindfulness data. Overall, the app is on the right path. I don’t want to hurt the app by giving it 3 stars because it’s decent, but it’s far below what a 5 star app should be. 1. Clearer feedback This app is not like the Inner Balance app, also by HeartMath. As a long time user of Inner Balance, having a clear and direct feedback signal (both sound and color changes on the interface) for coherence level is tremendously useful. It’s a bit plain and ordinary, but is super obvious what coherence state you are in. In contrast, the Global Coherence app uses a fancier, more beautiful mandala-like format of pulsing concentric circles to represent individual, group, and global conference, respectively, and all at the same time. Very neat. BUT, what you gain in beauty you lose in fidelity regarding your actual coherence level. I have yet to detect a clear pattern in the center circle to actually determine my coherence level. This is a big miss in my mind, because if you want to illustrate to people their changing coherence, you should make it as obvious as possible. My suggestion: have the center circle change colors in accordance with coherence levels similar to the Inner Balance app. Redish for low coherence, Blue-ish for med coherence, and Green-ish for high coherence. This seemingly minor tweak would dramatically improve the usability and friendliness of this app. 2. Share Mindfulness data The Inner Balance app shares Mindfulness data with iOS Health data, Global Coherence does not, nor does it have any options to do so. Another big miss in my opinion. This should be the default option and feature for any HeartMath app. Keep it up, HeartMath team. It’s a decent app, and the slickness of your apps need to match the height of your aspirations if you want widespread, organic, gotta-tell-your-friend-about-this-app kind of marketing. ### 2/5 — Love concept needs bug fixes *2021-08-28, version 1.3.1* I absolutely LOVE being able to practice with a group and play with getting our group connected and heart coherent. I’ve been using this app since Dr. Joe Disperenza’s July 2021 Denver Advanced Meditation Event. I’ve practiced in the Global Group and notice how satisfying it is to see the purple cloud get more intense. The starburst and purple graphic are beautiful AND calming, really good feedback idea. Since back home, I created my own group, adding the 4 family and friends who own a Heart Math device, for a total of 5 of us. (Two of our group live in other states.) I practice every day for 10-30 plus minutes, at least once a day, often twice with those who are available. 🤍♥️ I’ve founds some issues and wish this app was better. I’m hoping posting here will be a support in fixes. -When a member of our group joins the session, there is a pattern of coherence scores jumping up and I am now not trusting those high scores if it’s within 1-2 min after they join. -On Android devices, members of our group have shared how often their device doesn’t connect to show their score. They end up getting out of the app and back in a few times as well as turning their Heart Math sensor off and back on, till it gives them a score. -There are two people in our group that often do not show up in the map, we cannot figure why. (An iPhone user and and Android user.) -Multiple times it shows more participants in our group than are on. This morning it showed 4, when only 3 of us were on. -Sometimes when someone has left the group, it still shows the same number of participants as if they were still there. It can last for 1-10 minutes. Or until I get out and back into the app. I look forward to any improvements. We’ve all been using Inner Balance and prefer it, as it works better. But it doesn’t have a way for us to see each other in the app like the Global app does. It would be wonderful if we could trust this app to be accurate and connect us… ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — LIFX Smart Bulb *2026-04-04, version 2.8.1* No instructions for pairing the LIFX bulb. Not on HeartMath websites, YouTube DIY, LIFX websites 🥺. Global Coherence App gives zero indications that it’s even search for the bulb. The LIFX App is got the bulb setup and installed, however Global Coherence App is unresponsive. Maybe a hint !! ### 1/5 — Sensor not working *2025-03-06* The sensor seems to be off and not working well. I love this app so I hope it gets fixed! ### 1/5 — Funktioniert leider nicht. *2024-07-25, version 2.7.5* Kurz nach dem Registrieren und Beginn der Übung abgebrochen. ### 1/5 — DONT WORK *2024-07-02, version 2.7.4* APP NOT OPEN. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ ### 1/5 — Blank video screen *2024-04-21* App won’t open, frozen video screen appears. ### 1/5 — Blank video screen *2024-04-20* When the app starts up after registering it flashes a home page and the goes to a blank screen with a play (triangle) symbol in the middle. I can’t get it to play or close. ### 1/5 — Won’t open *2024-04-19* When I click on the app what appears to be a video comes on but it won’t let me play it can you all help with this ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work *2024-04-17* I created an account/registered. The app then displayed a “play” icon as if there was a video to watch, but nothing would happen. I couldn’t press play or swipe to a different screen; the screen was frozen. I was connected to WiFi and tried force-closing and reopening the app a few times. It won’t work. ### 1/5 — Miserable service *2024-02-23* Sensors don’t work and even worse than that is they have the worst customer service on the planet and I mean that sincerely ### 1/5 — Don’t Buy Anything *2022-10-19* It’s a good idea what they offer but you don’t need to buy anything or spend any money on this stuff to send kindness and love to the world. I like the idea behind everyone working together but I don’t like being expected to pay for it. Everything this app offers can be done for free. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Recent Research 2026 *2026-06-01* HeartMath’s recent research suggests that holding an Exciting and Loving 🥰 energy produces highest coherence levels.
