What I love about Balance is that I don't find myself scrolling social media almost without any conscious decision to do so. The addiction feeling has just evaporated. Despite having an iPad to view these things on, I'm much more in control. I went from an Iphone to the Samsung A16 with Balance OS which took a little getting used to, but was fine after a few days. I'd like to see more Samsung phone options, something in the middle-range would be great, but I suppose the low-end nature of the A16 also helps me put it down. All in all, I'm very happy with the swap.
Dear Reader,
* As an Australian adult, I have a Balance Phone OS installed on my Samsung Galaxy. I have found it to be quite good. I'm generally quite happy with it.
* I have been using Balance Phone OS software installed on my Samsung Galaxy Mobile Device for a number of days now, to avoid distractions, & to try to stop wasting time online on social media.
At the time is this writing my experience is: -
* Major Positive Aspects: My overall health is improving from using the Balance Phone OS software on my Samsung Galaxy: I'm more alert, I sleep better, I'm more focused, I feel calmer, I think more clearly, I'm happier, & also I can meditate more easily.
* The Balance Phone OS software program on my Samsung Galaxy is helping me to rise above wasting time on UTUBE, Facebook, Instagram & Telegram.
* My experience with Balance Phone OS on my Samsung Galaxy is quite good so far.
* I do hope I continue to feel quite happy with my decision to change my Samsung Galaxy into a Balance Phone.
* Fortunately, my Samsung Galaxy Phone with Balance Phone OS installed on it, Phone reception for calls & texts is the same as before the Balance Phone OS installation.
* I love the visual graphics on the Balance Phone OS screen, as I find it calming & relaxing.
* Fortunately, I receive prompt responses to my tech questions about Balance Phone OS, from the Balance Phone company.
* Some aspects of Balance Phone OS do need to be improved by Balance Phone:
* For example: -
The instructions on how to save information from your Samsung Galaxy before Balance Phone Installation could be improved by adding more detail:
* If you are going to make the transition to Balance phone OS on your Samsung Galaxy & you wish to save all your text messages & contact from your mobile phone, you need at the time of writing this post:
1. You require a 2nd Samsung device to save your text messages & mobile contacts on with Smart Switch.
2. Plus a USB stick to save your photos & documents on.
* Please be aware: -
* 1. Just saving your data to Samsung Cloud, before doing the factory reset to install Balance Phone OS, alone will not work to save all you phone data, as: -
* 2. The Samsung Cloud is what is on your Samsung device, & not a separate storage place for your mobile phone. You actually need a 2nd Samsung Galaxy if you wish to save all your text messages & all your contacts digitally.
* If you are going to put Balance Phone OS software on your Samsung Galaxy, & If you don't wish to acquire a 2nd Samsung galaxy, & you are prepared to lose all your text messages, you could just write down all contact information, then save it in a safe place.
* Overall, the good aspects of Balance Phone OS, out weigh the negative aspects, hence why I have given the Balance Phone OS a 4 star review.
* If all the issues with Balance Phone OS I have shared with the Balance Phone staff are fixed, I shall upgrade my review for Balance Phone from 4 stars to to 5 stars.
* This review of Balance Phone OS is not a promotion.
* I am not being financially rewarded for sharing my experience with Balance Phone OS.
* Many thanks to Albert & Carlos for creating Balance Phone OS, so that we Australians can use Balance Phone.
Es un móvil perfecto para todo el que desea hacer frente a la adicción al móvil y a la imposición de pantallas. Lo justo y necesario para llevar una vida libre de vicios digitales que no sirven para nada. Enhorabuena a los fundadores por enfrentarse a un mundo sometido a las pantallas, a la digitalización y a la tecnología.
I cannot imagine going back to a full smart phone after switching to balance phone. My only big complaint would be ability to customise features ahead of buying. For example, I find it inconvenient to have Google images blocked. Overall, still a great product which has really helped me with digital minimalism
This is exactly what i have been looking for my only recommendation would be to allow google images as its restricted
Thank you balance phone team
Really love it , my screen time has significantly dropped .... I love music and miss Shazam not sure why it's blocked.
I have chosen Balance Phone together with my husband, to rid ourselves from constant distraction and addiction to social media/YT, etc. We have seen the difference just a week in: way more time available to do something else. I must say that even a month down the line we are still learning how to fill in our now "free time", but it is a sweet research, since we can use our creativity for that. We love that Balance Phone is so basic in its home and apps overview, the phone works just fine so we have been recommending it to all our friends who also seek to live more intentionally.
Brutal, m'ha servit per connectar amb la vida real pero a la vegada sense desconnectar.
I am a father of a 13 years old. To me, it is great to see my adolescent grow more autonomous, with the help of his Balance Phone, while it is equally a great relief not having to police his use of the phone. I am actively recommending the Balance Phone to other parents.
Me encantan las novedades del Boletín que vais mandando por correo electrónico y, sobre todo, vuestra calidad humana. Es de otro planeta y lo que más valoro. Y por supuesto el móvil.
The change from an iPhone to Android is a bit jarring, but worth it. I really rate the Balance Phone for helping me to disconnect from the virtual world and reconnect to the real world.
Us estic molt agraïda; el vostre mòbil és el motiu pel qual he llençat el Nokia del meu fill (té 13 anys) i li he comprat un Smartphone. Gràcies per la vostra iniciativa. I poder fer aquesta ressenya en català és esplèndid.
One of the best choices I have ever made. And go for the pro version - the cheap one is laggy and too big.
Wonderful phone, I never imagined that I could find such a great detoxifying phone in this world.
Loving this phone, my daughter enjoys using the phone but doesn’t spend too long on it, which is why we wanted to get her a balance phone in the first place. A fantastic product. She says she would love if she could change the wallpaper (from plain black to an colour or photo for example) and the colour of the text on the home screen (for the apps).
Changed my screen time considerably!
Some websites that are blocked don't make much sense and are inconvenient (like a museum audio tour guide)
The lack of access to video content irritating at times but that is the entire point. It is worling like a deeam.
I had tears in my eyes when I opened the box. Your lovely welcome booklet and the beautiful packaging were touching so much care and attention. Knowing that you were going to help me get out of my addiction, which has made me lose so much precious time in my life, meant a lot. The Balance Phone system works perfectly, and the people around me are impressed.
Gracias <3

What a purchase! If you are looking to reduce you’re screen time and get more out of life this is the way to do it, feel more present in everyday life and much more focused in everyday tasks, sleep has improved massively too, couldn’t recommend enough
We bought this for my 11 year old son and so far it’s been great! It has all the good bits of technology (helpful apps etc) with none of the bad bits (social media). The biggest testament is he doesn’t use it much which is a positive!
I can't overstate that using my Balance Phone has given me a new life. I look at my loved ones when they're talking to me, I listen and absorb information, I have time for my hobbies that I love. While I appreciate I should have been living like this while absolutely dialled in to a smartphone, it's immensely helpful to have a tool in the toolbox that helps me detach from social media, the obsession, the automatic habits, and embrace life. I love the new update as well, simplifying Balance Phone even further and making my phone a thing I occasionally use, rather than a thing I can't put down.
Finally, the phone I had been searching for! It has honestly changed my life for the better. The concept, functionality and price point met my needs. I now have more time to create, headspace to meditate, journal and I shoot using my film camera. I am still connected and up to date with the world with the balance phone but I am in control and not letting time pass me by. Thank you!
