Became too advanced for me
Really enjoyed learning and starting meditation and mindfulness with this app. Very well made with a good amount of variation and steady progress built into the plans. After about a year of using it though I got a bit lost in it as I progressed into the „advanced” plans. I was asked for example to „reflect on when I feel most at home in myself”, and I actually don’t know what that means or how to do that. So the meditations become a lot of wondering what really I’m supposed to do in them.

Cringe Meditation Voices
I could not stand the two voices that are used for the guided meditations. There were only two options. Wasn’t worth keeping the app.

You’re stuck with it
I got balance because they offered a free year for Black Friday. I accidentally paid for the year version tho and there is no way to “return” it. It’s really not with 70£ for me because it doesn’t offer anything that helps me to truly meditate. For someone who earns little money, seeing my 70£ wasted on this app is not fun. Be very careful about which buttons you click on.

Personal preference
The meditation program seems solid and well tailored (I did advanced program for a few weeks), but the programming voices/guiding prompts sound AI based and that really creeps me out. I had to stop using it because it reminded me too much of "Hal" in 2001: A Space Odyssey. I tried the female and male voices and it's not so much the voices, but the unnatural prompting based on the questions they ask to personalize the session. Sadly, not for me.

AI voice over
Whoever thought it was a good idea for AI voice to guide you to sleep needs to get laid off, it just doesnt feel right

Predatory sign up flow The app asks you about hundred questions before showing the terms of free trail and the subscription pricing. This is a dark pattern to say the least for an app which promises to enhance people's well being
