Headspace: Meditation & Sleep

I have been meditating for years and I was excited when my employer included this as a benefit. That excitement ended quickly once I started using the app. It's a very busy app and feels very Sesame Street to me. I was having trouble sleeping and I remembered that I could use this app for free. I wanted to see what teachers they used w/o success. I clicked on 1 that sounded like an AI voice (ugh). If you are new to meditation, this is great. If you aren't, go elsewhere. (Insight timer)

I've had this app since 2018 and actually paid for it on and off (depending on my finances). They stopped offering aaany ongoing free content, so now it's no longer something I'll recommend to people or will purchase myself again. Old: Seems money grubbing to me. $70/year is the "discounted" price. Hah! And it's already in the top 5 money makers. Bye Headspace. I'll go try something else. OH! And don't bother downloading and creating an account if you're not ready to pay $13/MONTH or 70/year!

This app has been integral in my meditation learning. I've used it off and on for years, and always come back. I was searching for a Bath time specific meditation this evening and didn't find any. Could you please consider adding some? If you could add any sleep stories or courses narrated by Cory Muscara that would be wonderful too. His teachings are so easy for me to digest, and learn and grow from. Thank you for this app!

the meditations are good but the user interface is so hard. can't find things. labels for groups of things are inscrutable. Eg there are top categories for sleep and focus. Under focus? There's a bunch of sleep stuff. (I don't know if there's focus focus stuff under sleep, but cmon! This is sloppy.) it's really a disorganized hot mess. If they have ux designers, they need to empower them. Im on the fence about asking for a refund.

Really impressed so far. Very clean and easy interface. You can search for specific meditations if you'd like, but they have a daily feed that gives you stuff that just feels like it always makes sense, which makes it feel super easy to just open the app and go anytime you're in the mood or need support. I do have to say that this is based on the premium version--my state has it available to residents, but it would feel worth it to pay if I didn't have access after this experience.

A must have app! Teaches you so much about your mental health & slowing down. It helps you with your relationship with food, sleep, your friends, partner & most importantly yourself. I would love it if they added a playlist feature as sometimes at night I want to listen to 2 different sleepcasts but I don't want to wake up & change them.

This is first program I tried for help with relaxation due to stress, insomnia and anxiety at different times recently. I found it easy to use and it definitely was vey effective in getting your mind off what is bothering you and focused on relax ing. His voice is very calming as he instructs you through the program. I would recommend this program to anyone looking for an easy way to add a little calm into their day.

This app has a wide variety of meditations podcast and more. This also helps you track you levels of stress, anxiety and help with depression. so far I have not tried the other features of this app but seems to have a lot of helpful tools for everyone to use every day. I'm looking forward to use long term, track my progress, use the CBT sessions and chat with the coaches.

4.5 out of 5 stars. I couldn't give it 5 stars because I can't lock my phone and put it in my pocket to meditate. The meditation will play for a little bit, then stop. I have to keep breaking my focus to press play. That defeats the purpose of the app. I like everything else the app offers. I've been paying for a yearly subscription for years now, I don’t remember this being an issue when I first started. Headspace, please fix this issue, or I won't be able to renew my subscription.

I really like the structure and content, but the app engineering is terrible. It crashes constantly. I get notifications from my phone asking if I want to uninstall it due to how many crashes occur. I've had multiple support cases due to courses not advancing. The tech stress offsets the goal to create calm. CTO: allocate budget to fix your broken MVP! If you weren't free from my health insurance provider, I wouldn't pay for this app. It's glitchy AF.
