Inner Balance™

Biofeedback during meditation can be helpful, especially in learning to quickly control ones autonomic nervous system responses. I use it in conjunction with Calm and Abide, as the guided meditations on these apps are are much better, and way more varried. However, the app crashes intermittently, which I find frustrating, it seems when I am having a good session. So what is the purpose of the expensive proprietary sensor if the app crashes?

Meditation is good for you no matter what. My experiences might not be your experiences. Maybe I'm misunderstanding something. But I find that the many Heart math suggestions for getting into coherence don't always work. When I try to utilize all their suggestion simultaneously it seems that they are very confusing and overwhelming. I find that when I focus only on matching my breathing with the breathing wheel and nothing else I get into coherence and stay in coherence easily.

Idk what happened but whenever the HRV is being recorded and shown to me live, it is very fidgety. I thought this was a bug so I checked to wee if there was an update, but it looks like I'm the only one. I would love some help!

Stopped working for Android. It was working fine for about 1 year and now the sensor stopped connecting to Android devices. It will connect with my iPad still.

The session won't run without activating my GPS. How is this necessary? I am considering returning for another product that doesn't require GPS activation Otherwise a helpful product.

I love this app but it's not working for me anymore. When I hit the play button to start a session it's like there is a glitch and won't start. Any help?

I find the app to have some flaws and inconsistencies. If I follow the instructions with my breathing and focus, I'll often dip into the red. Yet if I'm distracted, ruminating, or thinking about something anxiety-inducing, it stays consistently green. Seems random. I wish there was a pause option and an option to adjust settings mid-session. There seems to be an issue with the rewards feature. Overall, I'm not sure I'm feeling any positive changes.

I've been using inner balance for nearly a year now and I find it extremely inconsistent. For instance, if I'm following the breath meter to a T, then why on Earth would it dip into red from a series of green, high coherence? If I'm focused on the breath, why would it suggest I'm not breathing correctly? I am starting to find I have a better practice without the app to be honest and feel less self-conscious about what I'm doing. My breath can't be incorrect when it's deep and consistent.

Pretty cool app but it takes a bunch of tries to get my sensor to connect. Plus I don't like that it disconnects every time you hit the stop button. So it takes a bunch of tries to get connected, then I start, decide I wanna change some settings so I stop.... Then it takes a bunch of tries to get it connected again. I've been following HeartMath for a while and love what you do, just offering some (hopefully) constructive criticism of the app.

I love using the Inner Balance app. I do have a few questions/suggestions. In particular, doing a session with a Heartmath trainer I was taught how to interpret the spectrum analysis. We tried to look at it for past sessions and realized the data isn't shared! The only way I can view my spectrum analysis is DURING a session -- which of course skews the data because I have to shift focus to it while attempting to stay in coherence. Can it please be added to the session info for later review?

Bluetooth version pairs with my phone (Note 4) first time nearly every time. However the tablet (which I would much prefer to use) is another story altogether. Beyond frustrating making dozens of attempts without success before successfully pairing. Sometimes I just have to give up, like shortly before writing this review. Good product when it works, but just too much hassle getting it working. This is supposed to help you manage stress, not cause it!

The app keeps crashing and I don't have turned on. While using it in a meditation session it just shuts down randomly after a few minutes and doesn't save the data of the session. I have a Samsung s7, running the latest android op system. This wasn't happening when I first started using this app several months ago. These issues have started in the past two months and have gone from bad to worse please fix, it's makes the product useless. Two issues here are it's crashed without bring turned and randomly stops working during meditation sessions the app stays open, Bluetooth stays on, but it just like the session didn't exist. Please let me know your schedule to fix these issues.

Wow. I am so disappointed that my app suddenly stopped working. As a last ditch attempt, I uninstalled and reinstalled... I then realized that probably lost all my journal entries and practice history from 18 months of use, which makes me *so* sad. Worst part is that it still crashes every time it tries to calibrate, even after re-installing. My daughter has the apple version installed on her iPod touch and it still works fine... Beyond frustrated, even though it's a very privileged problem.

Great tool! However, the app, itself, can create frustration. 1. There is NO feedback button to tell developers how to improve their app. 2. Need to be able to access the app / session settings WITHOUT having to end the session. (Talk about interruption in coherence!) 3. Using Galaxy S9+, on Android 9; Bluetooth (BT) sensor does not connect, stay connected, nor be stored in phone's BT settings like all other BT devices that connect.

Excellent application. It helped me a lot to check my coherence while exercising it. I would have some improvements proposals for you: 1. Time scale synchronization between Coherence and HRV charts. 2. Rotate application screen based on Android settings. 3. Zoom out of Coherence and HRV charts. 4. Export possibility of sessions saved in Review database.

I wouldn't suggest using this app. I have had the rather expensive sensor for less than a year and it can no longer pair properly with my cell. Every time I try to use it, it crashes within a minute. I have followed instructions from the company to fix the problem and they don't work. I have tried reinstalling and that doesn't work either: after the first use it starts crashing again.

The device an app are great, but twice I've had connectivity issues and it didn't work. Once when I first got it and there was an update, another when I bought a new phone. It was a bit frustrating because they were working and then they were not. Support was helpful the first time. I eventually figured out the second issue on my own.

This is great but I just lost all of the data for an hour long session. This is very strange because I did another session where I feel asleep. Not sure if my phone screen stayed on but this time it definitely didn't and I lost all of my data. Please add a keep screen on feature or run even if the screen is off

No audio feedback like if coherence goes up white noise becomes quiter (calmer), if goes down white noise loader. No way to change sound only music. No power spectrum average in history. No option to change breathing pacer to different in and out breath duration or add pauses. No way to change vibration intensity. No way to add sound to start and end of breath. Please add those features and make this app awesome! Thank you

Amazing app that allows you to calm the noise inside and out.
