What our community says

Thanks to this wonderful app, full of easy to read and understand information with no jargon, I feel totally in control now of what my body is going through and more to the point I don’t have to suffer my symptoms of the perimenopause. I am 54 and I feel like I am 21 again!

I feel empowered by the information that balance provides, giving me the confidence to assess my own symptoms. I was even able to successfully ask for, and be prescribed testosterone (yes on the NHS). I genuinely feel that I have my life back and have no plans to ever stop HRT.

WOW!! This app is truly transforming the lives of so many on a global scale…such a brilliant innovation and thrilled to see the onward journey.

As an non-menopause specialist, I regularly use the balance app for my menopausal patients as it not only provides me with loads of additional information I would not necessarily think to ask about during a standard consultation, but in a busy NHS clinic, when we only get a maximum of 10 minutes per patient, having the information the balance app provides can help enormously with effective and better patient management.

I love and find the Moments of Happiness hugely important. Depression in menopause has shifted into something  scary and different from the odd down mood I had in previous years. I will never come off HRT for that reason alone. I’m feeling great these days […] We are not all going mad, it’s just menopause. I love balance+ and find it so fantastic. Thank you Thank you Thank you.

Balance+ is girl power at its finest!

Apple's Editors’ Choice Award

Apple’s Editors’ Choice Award celebrates the very best apps around the world.

In their words…

“Balance is an incredible support tool for anyone experiencing perimenopause and menopause. The app, founded by GP and menopause specialist Dr Louise Newson, offers symptom trackers, community support and evidence-based information on all aspects of menopause hormone deficiency.

“We knew we loved it when: Balance began re-educating the world about menopause through the app. Newson knew that creating this tool was important, since her in-person UK clinic had a thousands-strong waiting list of those requiring treatment for symptoms of menopause.”

We are very proud to have been recognised by Apple for the steps we have taken to improve accessibility for those who are neurodiverse, as well as anyone with low vision, hearing loss, or restricted mobility. This fits in line with our mission to make evidence-based menopause and perimenopause information accessible and inclusive to all.

We hope this recognition means that more women can use the app to get the support they deserve.
