Inner Balance Reviews

Buggy as all get-out

KSG709

Two years after writing this review unfortunately nothing has changed. I also see others commenting on the unreliability of HeartMath's extremely expensive but poorly made hardware. To plug in the sensor, connect it up and be told "No heartbeat detected" is supremely frustrating - the exact opposite of the relaxed experience HeartMath sells for big bucks. To have to replace a $125 sensor every year or so to maintain a product is not an option especially when the hardware costs HeartMath about $5. Shameful. When it works (on my iPhone) it's great. But for the past 4 months, every time I've tried to use Inner Balance, it crashes after about 4-5 minutes, taking my session data with it. I wouldn't recommend any of HeartMath's products. The software is poorly written and the hardware doesn't last. I've had lots of problems with their emWave2 as well as it's software simply not work as it should. Good ideas; extremely poor execution which renders their products virtually useless. As HeartMath charges a pretty penny for their products I wouldn't recommend any of it as it's extremely poor value for the money.

Helpful for centering

After just a few sessions, I taught myself how to center my focus and get the green light for coherence. I wish I had this app years ago. I’ve struggled with anxiety and feeling flustered with my two young children, work, and home life. I now know how to tap into my coherent mind set when I’m not using the app. It’s amazing! I’m sharing it with my friends. My doctor gave me the ear piece and recommended that I try it.

Good but could improve

I like this and recently have been using it several times per day. It could use one improvement. 1. A session timer alarm.

Emotional fitness and Inner Technology

I am grateful we have so many ways to get emotionally fit, bring awareness to our internal environment and better ourselves through technology. This app sharpens the awareness and trains my heart and brain to connect in a way that brings me happier moments, health and a feeling of peace.

Easy and effective

Selfunfolding

HeartMath is an easy but very effective method that can be done anywhere anytime, eyes open or eyes closed. The app is important to make sure you are going into coherence because some people, especially meditators, think they are in coherence when they are actually not. HeartMath has a profound effect on our entire being. Coherent energy radiates out to every cell in our body and to the people and beings around us. When you are coherent, the environment and people around you tend to become coherent. Win/win.

Accessible, portable, affordable, and high-quality biofeedback

Sal Paisley

This product is actually the culmination of decades of work from a reputable organization. It is very good, empirically and statistically based biofeedback technology that’s also affordable and portable, not in the least bit as cumbersome as its predecessors. For those of us presented with certain diseases and health conditions, such a resource may even be indispensable.

Amazing Tool!

I have been using the HeartMath desktop version which I love and I’m grateful that the Inner Balance App offers a lot of the same features. My favorite screen is the one that shows your coherence as a numeric score. I find this helpful to see what score comes with the slow, rhythmic breathing and how that changes when positive emotion is added to it. One thing that has been especially great in using the HeartMath technologies is that I am becoming more used to being in a coherent state and it’s starting to feel strange when I feel stress and now I catch any moments quickly and can then shift them. Thanks for creating great stuff HeartMath!!!
