This app can change your life. I have had it for a couple of weeks. I use it at least a couple of times a day. I bought the new Inner Balance Coherence Plus. They ship to Canada. It was about $400 but you get a free lifetime membership to the app which is $79 a year. Well worth it. When you get it lined up and get your coherence to 5+ you feel awesome. Calm and in control. Your anxiety goes down. It takes a bit of getting used to as I was at a 1 when I started. There is a carryover effect. Once you get in the zone and end your session which can be like 5 minutes that calm and in control feeling carries on into your day. Similar vibe to the afterglow of a really good hot yoga session. How you should feel after a great meditation session but never did. The biofeedback aspect is the magic. I use the graph with the line and keep your breathing at the right pace. I found 20 seconds was good. That gets you in the blissful zone. This app can help you achieve a better mental state.

the iPhone camera sensor does not always work

I am in live with this app. It prepares me everyday to make the best of what comes my way. So happy if can across it in a book I read titled The body keeps the score. I send 20 to 30 min a day. 🩷🩷🩷

App gets worse with every single update and the device is junk

The legacy inner balance app had a green, yellow and red zone which they have transferred to the latest 2.0 version. I wish it was able to be tagged on and off, and a way to hide what percent of the time you are in what zone. Makes it feel competitive / good bad, As compared to data without judgement without the color zones.

I have had the lightning cable sensor for about 8 years and it still works but the app is old and has always been VERY buggy. Refusing to connect even though I know it’s the app not the decision… ugh. I would consider buying a sensor + except for the reviews stating that the new app (this one) crashes and has problems connecting as well, which I believe because even though the earpiece has been high quality and durable, it’s still probably on its way out eventually. All the options including the subscription service fee is exorbitant. Has this method helped me? Yes. But are there free or one-time-fee ways to meditate? Yes.

I got the new sensor to be able to use this app. The app itself is wonderful, but they should have used a narrator for the practices that was better. The woman doesn’t have the most soothing voice and she talks a little fast. My coherence goes down by several points when I listen. So just be aware when you purchase — there’s not a lot of variety in case you don’t resonate with the voice either.

If you buy the newest sensor (Inner Balance Coherence Plus) be aware that the cord is very short and the bluetooth transmitter part of the device will be right against your body. The sensor only works with iPhone via bluetooth. Probably most don't care about this, but just a heads up to those that are sensitive. When using the app, the screen will go to sleep. There is no option to disable sleep like other apps have. So, if you’re looking at the imagery to sync your breathing, the screen will go dark after a while. You have to tap the screen to return. This disrupts the meditation. I emailed support about this and they said I need to update the app to the latest version. I am using the latest version.

The decive is great. And the education and guided sessions are good as well It seems it woud be simple for you guys to allow for the user to change the title of the sessions in the session history… this way the user can label the session in the way they can recall. This id helpful for someone who is trying to track their coherence during performances. Also, the session history doesnt show the start and end time of a session. This would also be helpful

I am a huge believer in heart coherence and I truly WANT to love this app (and the expensive sensor) unfortunately, the app and sensor shut off during sessions UNLESS they are guided, which basically makes this useless to me. Until this issue is resolved, 2-stars is the best rating I can give this app (same for the sensor).
