Inner Balance is based on years of scientific research and designed to teach you how to shift your emotional state in the moment – so you feel better and think more clearly.

Learn to synchronize your heart, mind, and body to reset your composure and inner clarity, calm reactive emotions, and neutralize stress. This practice creates an inner state called coherence. Over 400 independent, peer-reviewed studies have been published on HeartMath technologies and methodologies that demonstrate the benefits of coherence including feeling calmer, more centered and focused, with access to more intuitive discernment to make better decisions. Inner Balance provides you with an accurate, real-time coherence score. Guided meditations and dynamic graphics coach you toward improved results.

Ratings and reviews

I have tried for five days now. Just by playing around with it myself, I find it very impressive. The readings are precise and extensive. There are several options for meditations, equipment advice, and informative resources. I am looking forward to speaking with my advisor about everything in the upcoming days to fill me in with more. My only complaint is that I am not able to use the app in the background or if my screen turns off. This limits the range of possible analytics.

Great app and connects right away. Lots of really nice features. However 1 glitche is in the phone app guided meditation section. When you start a session the timer sound plays. And it plays during the talking. Not good. So you have voice and loyd mixed in timer gong. If you turn the timer gong off, the guided goes off too. Snafu needs a fix. Thx

My initial 1-star review was due to requiring location permission or refusing to work. I contacted support and received a reply 6 days later with a detailed explaination as to why location is required for Bluetooth LE devices. While this app is functional, it differs slightly from the iOS version and is less polished, but that pretty much describes any app on Android. Issue: The "chaser" screen runs at 2x the pace you set (compared to iOS).
