Inner Balance

I just updated to the newest iOS update last night and since then my app times out and shuts down I am enjoying learning with this technique but there are a couple things I would change 1 the length of sessions does not alert you with a ding or vibe when you have hit your five minutes or whatever length of time specified I would add that in 2 I think it would be better to be able to customize your own feelingmood wheel to work on my own typical places of pain moods or feelings I use the app to help manage pain not just moods There should be a way to personalize this when you set up the app for the first time or in settings 3I think you could do a better job walking through the options of the app at start up so we know the goals and how to experiment and see which screens work best for us personally Should be set up for the person who has never seen or heard of heartmath before with step by step instructions I do enjoy this app and find it a useful tool in helping to learn the technique and hope it continues to improve Please help to fix whatever bug makes it not work with the new iOS update Thank you           Problems since update

The app is supposed to record sessions and track progress It does none of this Contacted support and was told to delete and reinstall Did that twice and it does track or save sessions like it supposed to Nice idea but too bad they cant or wont furnish an app that works the way it is described and marketed        Doesnt work right

Great tool to do the proper breathing However as I prefer the meditate with closed eyes it is currently not possible to keep you breath in sync due to missing audio signals at time of breathin and out I have hope it will be added at one stage              Good but not for closeeye meditators

I love this app I feel amazing and it does really relax you and set in you in a great mindsetsimple fun beneficial and relaxing                 My New best Friend

Ever since I downloaded ios9 the app crashes when I endstop a session without saving the session data to history        App crashes when I end a session without saving my history

Please fix this it is not compatible with iOS 9 and the hardware it takes to use this is expensive     Crashes in iOS 9

A change of heart changes everything Inner Balance is a brilliant app So cool easy to use and most importantly it works LOVE IT Im absolutely shocked by the negative reviewers Ive been using the Inner Balance for about a year and it has changed my life for the absolute better The Inner Balance is simply amazing Its helping me deal with grief and pain after a major loss relocation deaths of my beloved dog and loved ones While working in a hectic corporate environment my stress and anxiety levels were unhealthy After trying Inner Balance I felt a difference immediately Of course life can be stressful but now Im empowered and can handle it with Inner Balance I feel better I sleep better I even lost weight with HeartMaths program Goodbye stress and anxiety and good riddance I love my Inner Balance and I love HeartMath                 HeartMath is right

I was so excited for this after I experienced using the pro version in a therapeutic office setting Loved the idea of having this with me all the time What an opportunity but currently a disappointment The software worked at first but now the second screen does not work nor does the sound Very disappointing for the cost Unfortunately this is not ready for prime time yet the opportunity for this to do as much as or more tgan the emwave and allow customers to have this available to them without needing separate hardware of emwave is huge but its not there yet My therapist had issues with the computer software when using this with me I thought it was her but now Im thinking these guys need to do a better job of testing software before releasing Needs bugs fixed Needs better graphic displays during session and in review Needs multiuser capability see withings BP app Needs equal or better functionality than emwave        Disappointing bugs and not enough features

I have an Emwave2 same company and this app provides a better visual experience for sure The biggest drawback is that it wont run in the background so essentially youre stuck in the app This is fine for beginners but as you get better you will want to practice maintaining coherence while performing other activities This app restricts you from doing anything else on your iPhone or iPad at the same time so if you want to say read something on your iPad while practicing you cant The stand alone unit is a better though not as pretty value until they correct the this limitation        Pretty Good

Apple made iOS9 available for developers in June 2015 4 months ago but this company still hasnt been able to update their app Hope theyll get it together soon Until then dont buy a Heartmath monitor or this software     Doesnt work after upgrading to iOS 9

Great product mediocre app The new version is a step backwards Color choices are terrible Starting and stopping a session is confusing Navigation is still mediocre You added some additional features and that is good I wonder if the person responsible for the redesign uses the product Did you test the changes with your existing users Dont make changes just for the sake of making changes        New app version is a step backwards

Fivestar product in iOS 841 Now it wont even open in iOS 9 Please update     Wont Open in iOS 9

This app is AMAZING I have anxiety so I get worried and stressed out about a lot of things and when Im worried or stressed I turn this on and it works I love this app and am so glad that I got it It tracks my heart beat and it makes me calm down and am able to continue my day like I was before I started to get worried I think this app is awesome and anyone who gets stressed or worried would love this app like me                 AMAZING

Love the app and sensor it is very fun to try and stay in the green but doesnt work for ios9 Please update soon so I can get back at it              Fix iOS 9

Theyve changed all the backgrounds to white which is ridiculously bright and in your face Even worse if you are trying to use it to relax to go to sleep you are blasted with bright light that is counterproductive Some screens can be customized to be more muted but others not If you are not using at bedtime or in the middle of the night its ok        Latest update way too bright

Love it when it works on my iPad but the iPhone app cant detect my sensor Ive tried everything removing the case restarting my phone with the sensor plugged in deleting and reinstalling the app nothing I doubt its an iPhone problem because it charges perfectly fine           Buggy

A few critical notes of an otherwise fine product 1 Crashes a bit on iOS 71 Please examine your apps telemetry data 2 Sounds and color blocks on breathing circle lack coherence Help is limited in explaining what they could possibly mean UX fail here 3 Could benefit from a sound indicating when to breath in or exhale 4 Apart from coherence change sound other sounds dont appear to have rhyme or reason 5 App could really coach users on maximizing the product but really fails to do so It appears this app could really benefit from additional usability testing with rank novices trying to figure it out Ive tried it on 3 other persons with high frustration being the primary result On a much more positive note the breathing exercises really help It helps Ive used these products for years now and am regularly over 90 coherence           Good but needs help

iOS 9 killed it Please fix it     iOS 9 Bricked It

It evidently needs an upgrade It worked well before     Keeps Crashing on me lately

I love the emwave and was excited to see this evolve to an app so much more convenient Im disappointed though The pulse detector often wont start calibration saying its not connected But I can always get it to work on my iPad So its not the hardware but a software issue Its annoying since I have to reload the program and sign in again repeating first use A lot of money invested here for poor reliability           Crashes a lot sensor stops working

Wont even open Please update     Wont open in ios9

Great app I used all the time but its not compatible with iOS 9 he crashes every time I try to open it I cant even get to the main page it doesnt even open please fix this I need to use it              Update app for iOS 9 please

App crashes and doesnt record data when end session since Apple upgraded software Series of things not working right           Buggy since 92015 IOS update

Be aware Downloaded app and found out sensor is 129 No thanks Not after all complaints about app full of bugs Deleted immediately     Free app

Inner Balance Its fast Its there To get me back to whats important more ease for myself and the people around me Thank you                 Stress relief when I need it

Been using the Inner Balance app since it first came out this is the best version yet My favorite new feature is the new color theme options I use it for my mediation and I turn on the vibrate options so I can have my eyes closed additionally I select my music using the soundtrack option I can usually see at what times I entered a deeper mediative state from reviewing the HRV afterwards Great appdevice for mediation                 Love the new version Great appdevice for mediation

Thanks for the latest update FYI the sound of the waterfall video can be heard even when the user is not on the video theme I thought it was white noise but I couldnt turn it off Please fix Ty     Bug

I do like the basic functionality of this app And I really appreciate that they added a timer in the latest version However the new colors are HORRIBLE Why did they feel the need to fix something that wasnt broken Why not leave the original background color as an option This thing is supposed to help me relax but the garish colors are counterproductive Also the last time I used it the chaser visualizer didnt work for some reason The circle was there but the up and down lines were absent The music selection feature could use a lot of improvement I decided to add two songs today and I got one of my old songs and one of the new ones and that was all Id like to be able to see whats already selected and be able to edit the list OR simply be able to pick an existing playlist And finally as an option they really ought to allow the display to rotate as the phone moves I like to prop my phone on a table when Im using this app and putting it on its side or upsidedown would be better because the sensor wouldnt be in the way           Good but could be better

Latest update crashes regularly on iOS 9 when a session exceeds 5 minutes Hoping this gets resolved as I clearly see the merit of this tool           Buggy latest update

This appdevice is really interesting to use and apply Maybe even groundbreaking I found it simple to use informative and practical Given my busy sometimes hectic life using the Inner Balance just a couple of times per day for almost a month weekends not included has made my life smoother and less reactive So far I am a big fan                 Fascinating

For me This app is magic The opportunity to focus SO simply on your breathing alone Which is not only effective but because of the rhythmic pace it captures enabling a true sync of sub conscience mindfulness your heart rhythms the rest of you for that matter Achievement of this level of comfort using only the minimal amounts of effort requested by this appLike I said MAGIC                 Relief

Buggy When it works its great but often the sensor is undetected by the app This renders the app useless Frustrating     Buggy

Ive used this app for 6 months and the crashes get more frequent Ive lost the money I spent on the software and the high cost of the sensor        Frustrating instead of relaxing

When it works on my iPhone its great But for the past 4 months every time Ive tried to use Inner Balance it crashes after about 45 minutes taking my session data with it I wouldnt recommend any of HeartMaths products The software is poorly written and the hardware doesnt last Ive had lots of problems with their emWave2 as well as its 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 wouldnt recommend any of it as its extremely poor value for the money     Buggy as all getout

Bought the inner balance sensor from Amazon a few weeks ago after reading an article about Billy Cundiff I expected barebones unsupported software with nothing but the essentials and haphazard integration I was pleasantly surprised to find a well put together app with achievements and cloud syncing Well done guys The achievements will keep me coming back                 Pleasantly surprised

If found the app and the hardware to be extremely helpful in lowering my blood pressure it was fairly simple to follow the instructions and I certainly speak about the benefits I havent had the problems others have written about Im glad my app is working fine since it has been a real tremendous help to me                 Helped lower by blood pressure

I was waiting for the inner balance sensor that had the lightning connector for the iPhone five I just bought it last week This really helps me to relax and when Im done with the session I feel really good Basically during the session youll hear a pleasant beep letting you know how youre doing If youre in high heart coherence itll be a higher tone beep with a green dot on the app screen middle coherece is a blue Dot and Low coherence is a red dot with a different tone The app keeps you motivated by giving you a achievement awards statistics and let you know how youre doing For example my last session it said that I was in high coherence more than 50 of the time for the last three sessions You can even put a face for your mood after the session and check your stats take notes etc I like that you can choose your own music from your music application So you can sync your music to your iPhone or iPad and you can play it while youre using this application Ive been choosing relaxing sounds like Tibetan singing bowls etc Sometimes I even pick a running Creek or stream The secret is to focus on your breath and think positive thoughts while you concentrate on your breath When your thoughts begin to wander bring your thoughts back to your breath                 Great

After 5 or so minutes it crashes It may be related to the fact that my lightening connector is intermittent but Id think that should just cause an error The last version was more reliable with the same hardware I hope there is a bug fix coming soon because I love this form of meditation        New version crashes

App free but 100 sensor Right     Yeah right

I have been using HeartMath products for 7 years Regular practice has changed my life I use the emwavepro and emwave2 This is a great addition make use of the tutorials to get the most out of it I noticed someone had trouble getting a pulse from the ear sensor Couple tips warm your ear well if you have piercings holes find a place without and be well hydrated                 Really like the Inner Balance

Apparently i have no pulse so perhaps the app is working except Im frustrated enough to chew up my iphone with my teeth Sensor is apparenlty made of damp cardboard reinforced with cheese and isnt working though the effing thing is new I have spent a delightful hour trying to get this thing to work Dont waste your money Go for a walk and take a nap     Doesnt work

Great concept if the app actually workedconstant crashes stops reading Expect better from this company     App needs lots of work

Love this app but I just downloaded it yesterday and am already dealing with glitches The breath pacer on the second screen isnt working and neither is the sound Sensor still works as does other breath pacer screens but its annoying to already be dealing with glitches for such an expensive system           Fix the bugs

Calming and restful with a beautiful user interface Theres something for everyone geeks who want detail as well as someone who just needs the help                 Wonderful and surprising

As mentioned above the app crashes on completing a session without recording your results Very disappointing     Crashes constantly

Needs update crashes out on iOS9 every time     No longer works with iOS9

I love this app Been a long time HeartMath user and this is much better than needing the computer or figuring out the EmWave New colors are horrible though The white background is glaring the others are ugly The original was much nicer This version loses points for that change              Great app

I updated my operating system just to get the latest Inner Balance app and now the app crashes after about 3 minutes into each session it isnt syncing to Heartcloud and I lose all data every time it crashes Not the nice experience I am used to Tried different settings but still not right and there isnt a lot of documentation to troubleshoot problems     Frustrating

Ive been a fan since version 1 was released and v31 is even better Ive read some of the bad reviews and did experience some of the issues but I called into HeartMath tech support 800 4509111 and they had me up and running in under a minute I had to close about 3 dozen apps running in the background who knew and reboot my iPhone After that smooth sailing This is a great product from a great company that truly cares about their customers experience                 Problems Solved Good to Go

UPDATE 101213 not so great This app installs a sentry to watch the 30 pin connector so when the Inner Balance connector is inserted it can hijack your phone and ask if you want to allow IB to connect This sentry runs in background all the time When running it prevents other 30pin connectors from operating My ANT stopped working the day I purchased IB Unfortunately I had to buy the 139 IB connector to find out IB was the problem Only way to fix is to delete app from my phone 139 to find out you have to delete the app Come On DO NOT USE THIS APP IF YOU USE THE 30pin CONNECTOR FOR OTHER APPS This could be a great app to help achieve and maintain focus during meditation Unfortunately the iPad implementation demonstrates how Apple is tying the hands of developers in iOS 78 forcing them to use the garish color space they have decided is a beautiful new update Yes we can choose a background color Take a look at them All loud bright garish and not even close to something soothing for a meditation environment Ive kept my iPhone at iOS 613 Inner Balance looks great in that OS Five stars for the app 0 stars for iOS 78 I wonder if the iOS 78 design team ever read their own developer guidelines Marketed as a beautiful new update iOS 78 is a lackluster and garish insult on our visual experience What a waste of the best human interface platform ever conceived and nurtured over decades Just trying to type this review I discover that the text window no longer scrolls when you type more than six lines of text the cursor and text disappear behind the keyboard AWESOME FAILURE I made a mistake updating to iOS 78 on my iPad Apple wont let me go back I wont do it again on my other devices Here is an overview of Human Interface HI guidance apple gives its developers Great iOS Apps Embrace the Platform and HI Design Principles People appreciate iOS apps that feel as though they were designed expressly for the device For example when an app fits well on the device screen and responds to the gestures that people know it provides much of the experience people are looking for And although people might not be aware of human interface design principles such as direct manipulation or consistency they can tell when apps follow them and when they dont As you begin designing an iOS app be sure to understand what makes iOS devices unique and learn how to incorporate HI design principles so that you can deliver a user experience people will appreciate RelevantChapters PlatformCharacteristicspage11andHumanInterfacePrinciplespage 19 Great App Design Begins with Some Clear Definitions When youre starting with an idea for an app its crucial to decide precisely which features you intend to deliver and to whom After youve determined this you need to make sure you tailor the look and feel of your app to the device it runs on and to the task it enables If youre bringing existing software to iOS you face many of the same challenges As you redesign your existing software it can help to learn about some of the design decisions that informed other successful interdevice transitions such as those for Mail and Keynote RelevantChapters AppDesignStrategiespage22andTransitionCaseStudiespage30 A Great User Experience Is Rooted in Your Attention to Detail Its essential to keep the user experience uppermost in your mind as you design every aspect of your app from the way you enable a task to the way your app starts and stops to the way you use a button Discover the guidelines that influence the look and behavior of your app in matters both general and specific RelevantChapters UserExperienceGuidelinespage52andiOSUIElementUsage Guidelines page 125 And more Come on Apple follow your own guidelines     Love Inner Balance Hate iOS Forced Design Space
