  • Terrible sound design, no customization

    All of this is describing the premium version: Every single thing on this app starts with an intro sound that sounds like a computer turning on that has a virus. Every. Single. Thing. And there is no way to turn it off. Guided meditations, white noise sounds, a timer, a goofy, off-key rendition of "It Had to be You" sung by someone who can't sing calling itself a sleep song - they all start with this same computer booting up sound. The sound designer for this app has zero skills. It's truly bizarre that there's no way to turn this awful sound off, but that's the whole ethos of this app: no customization. About half the app is a white noise machine, but lacking all the functions a basic white noise app has. It has no mixing, no oscillation, and you can't change the fade out timer once you've started it. You can't play the noises under any of the meditations. It's an abnormally low level of functionality. The app lacks any customization beyond favoriting. Want to decide what your landing page looks like? Too bad, you can't. Want to close and hide meditations you've tried and disliked? You can't. Want to use a nap meditation without a wake up sound at the end? You can't. Want to layer one of the sleep sounds under a sleep meditation? You can't. Want to turn off the sick computer boot up sound? Of course you can't. There’s no lists or folders. No way to save something you want to try. Just nothing. It’s such an abnormally low level of functionality. The "free year" comes with a guilt trip and then begs the user for money. It’s really strange. There's no way to even view the app without answering a huge number of questions which are glitchy and make you do it many times. Even after subscribing to the "free year" there are still ads, including one for a lifetime license that you cannot close. It is at the top of the first page of the app every day, forever (presumable unless you buy it). Who wants a meditation app that you're supposedly getting a free premium subscription to that still has an ad at the top all the time? When you sign up, the opening questions and subscription lead directly in to a meditation without any way to say no and navigate to the app. You can only cancel the meditation after it’s started. Coercive all around. This app has unusually low functionality and what it does, it does coercively and badly with an unending sick computer sound. And if you want to hear "It Had to be You" just go to YouTube and listen to Frank Sinatra sing it. Zero stars

    this app is genuinely really great. i have a lot of anxiety problems and sometimes my anxiety attacks never happen but i just think of it and then i feel like my useless, hopeless, and feel like I'm gonna faint. that's when my mom introduced me to Balance. i didnt really think this app was that good and that it was not gonna help me but i was completely wrong. this app helps me with my breathing and when i have anxiety attacks and i learned a lot about breathing. the best thing i learned from this app is that breathing is with us all the time. my favorite thing about this app is that you get to do a lot of things on it that will definitely help you with whatever you r going through. i definitely give this app a 1,000/10 because of how much this app helped me. another best thing is that i just started doing this app and it already improved a lot into me and im doing a lot better. if it want for Balance, i would be crying in my room rn because what im going through.
  • Thank you Balance

    I suffer from anxiety more specifically sleep Anxiety and more recently I noticed my stress was way to high, and it accumulates in my shoulders and neck via tension. Which is really annoying. Meditating with balance and guidance with Ofosu is incredible, while not relaxing me 100% After a session I feel more alert, focused and my neck and shoulders are more relaxed. I only used the guided sleep scenarios once but I noticed before it was over I was out lol.. Thats a first for me, I usually have to smoke (Flower) to fall asleep with my sleep anxiety, last 3 days had been an accomplishment as I haven't reached for my pipe once and just zonked out. Im grateful for the free year honestly as This summer im finally getting in touch with my weaknesses and what it means to be me, adopting a growth mindset instead of fixating on the negative like ive always done. Its challenging but Im willing to take it on! For a better version of myself! I am happy Balance and the wonderful Ofosu is part of my climb! Highly recommended! The only app that had worked for me!

    Thanks so much for the wonderful guided breathing meditations. This has helped me through a lot of bad anxiety attacks.

    I'm primarily evaluating Balance as a way to form a habit of regular meditation and to help me stay focused while working. I was delighted to find that Balance has a Pomodoro feature, since I have been striving to use this technique more consistently at work. One thing that I was disappointed to find, though, is that the background sounds don't include many of the focus ambience options present elsewhere in the app. I would really love to have a greater range of options, as I find it valuable to have a wide variety to move between.

    Hey, am a beginner in meditation, and I can’t be more happier than this. Self explanatory meditation. My favorite part is it has so many sub group to couch from depending on the time you have or your current mood. Cheers
  • You have to try this

    This is my personal experience, but only after the third meditation I felt in peace & relaxation like I never felt in months before.

    The meditations sound like they are AI generated and soulless. It’s really creepy. My whole body tensed up hearing an emotionless robotic voice. I encourage you to support a real human teacher instead of paying money for a robot to guide you on a spiritual journey.
