Pretty good app app far but I wish you could change your daily streak reset time. I like to meditate before bed but sometimes that's before midnight and sometimes it's after. Having to work about midnight to manage my streak gets annoying. It would be nice to be able to set the rest time to 3am (for example) so I don't have to worry about my streak being lost just because I meditate at 12.30am one night. I also would like to be able to edit past meditations especially where I made a mistake

I'm only done 2 days so far. I'm enjoying it very much. The reason why I'm not giving this 5 stars is that I have no way on my phone to unlock the supposedly free trial. And there's no way to contact customer service. So I guess I'll do this for as long as they allow me to. It's a very frustrating end to what is always a very good meditation session. Edited to add: I got an email from them and was able to reply to that and contact customer service that way.

Good app, but…
You offered me a free trial, even emailed me about it, then charged me. Apparently I’ve had a free trial on my phone before so you hit me for almost $80. Luckily Apple refunded it. So you got 2 stars for the app quality and you lost 3 for the ol bait and switch.

Demands a payment method
I downloaded Balance to help with mental health and getting things done in a timely manner. The app walks you through setting up a care plan, tells you it will remind you in a year to cancel, and then demands a payment method to move forward. This app advertises as having a free year - but won’t let you use it without giving them access to a payment method. I’m sure I’m not the only one that uses an app 2-3 weeks, gets bored, and forgets about it and when the trial period expires - you get charged for something you’re not even using anymore with no way to recoup the charge. Which in this case is $70. That’s groceries and gas for a family of 3’s week. I also do not want to become dependent on the app, use it all year, and then BOOM, I can’t afford to continue. It’s a no for me.

AI garbage
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.

Enjoying so far
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.
