Headspace - meditation

Headspace has been a real bubble of oxygen in my life. Before that I couldn't even enjoy a movie of a book, because my mind was spinning . Now I can, and I do with much pleasure. But of course, that's not it. It took several hours for me to sleep. Now barely a few minutes. Headspace has brought me so much more. I prefer the organization of the old version it was much clearer. This one is so messy the courses, singles and animations are completely blended and you struggle to find anything...

I am a big fan, i use this app every day and it helps me a lot. Especially the sleepcasts and the workouts ! This app litteraly changed my life. Nevertheless, the courses are basically similar to one another (breathing and visualization most of the case). There are just few sentences that make the difference. I really hope that they will offer new ways to pratice meditation and it will be perfect if the excercises could be linked to the course we're doing in order to offer better help

I have been using this app in premium mode for nearly 3 years now. It now integrates workouts, meditations, positive videos and songs/stories to help you fall asleep. I love this app. However I am disappointed by the last reorganization of meditations. Guys, it is so hard to use. Come back to an organization based on themes, and not a list view. I am wondering what you are waiting for! You are losing some subscribers !

Hello Headspace, need your help. I signed up for the free 14-day trial, and completely forgot about it. Just now I got notification from my credit card that I've been charged $129.99 for annual subscription. I did not receive any reminder for the expiration of my free trial, and confirmation if I wanted to proceed with the subscription. The subscription is auto-renewing. I went to the app to sort this out, but was met with a blank screen on my Account. Waiting to hear from you.

It's a shame that there appears to no longer be any free meditation options. I used to use the app frequently and decided to pick it back up again. I was disappointed to see I have to subscribe. The free 10-15 minute meditations were perfect. I understand needing to make money, but I think some free options should have reminded for those that needed it most.

Amazing app and product. Feature request : please add the possibility to download individual meditations, not just the whole course. And try to optimize the dimensions of the files, it does not make sense to download a full 700Mb course if you want to have just one meditation for your flight (for example)

Edited the review. Generally the app is great and has done a lot for me. But it is not intuitive anymore. And hr UI keeps changing for the worse. It used to be easy to find children meditation (type, age etc.). My 5 year old used to located them. Yesterday I searched and it took me almost 10 minutes to find her favorite meditation. The general set up used to be easy (I have the app since many years and also bought the lifetime subscription).

Disappointing App. I used to love this app but now it's unusable. Sleep stories play for a few minutes, then the app crashes. This is not related to the screen lock. I set that to 15 seconds. The screen locks, headspace continues to function for a few minutes and then it crashes. It's quite expensive for it not to work.

I used to use this app a year ago, but not too kuch. Back then, pretty much everything was free, including simple meditation. Now, for some reason everything is locked behind a subscription. Literally everything. There's 0 meditation, breathing or video courses that are free. Do not download, it's a waste of time

I love this app for some of the meditations but the commercial aspect of the app is over-shadowing the meditation aspect (Quite the opposite of meditation which values simplicity and focus) The UI is cluttered with so many available options that we can't really find or navigate to the content we are looking for. These days Star Wars content is being pushed a lot and it feels like we are being forced to consume it. It's really discouraging. We want simplicity and simple people, no celebrities

The app itself is great but the new Today screen is having problems. It either reverts to just the wake up and recents, or shows the previous day's list. Exiting, force stopping and clearing cache, then navigating a few times, seems to clear the problem, only for it to recur later. Edit: already on latest release - email to support sent

Amazing customer service! I signed up online and on the app somehow so I got charged twice. I contacted them and was reimbursed for the duplicate charge within 24 hours, they are great! I LOVE the app! It's helped me so much with sleeping, when I get mad, and also with anxiety. I use the sleep sounds and/or the wind down options and it keeps going when my screen goes to sleep, it doesn't kill my battery. Love and recommend a lot! I have an Android phone.

Whats the point of paying such an expensive subscription if you can't use the app? It really bothers me to only give 1 star, because I really love the app and I have been using it for almost two years. However, lately the Android version hasn't been working properly. It suddenly stops working and closes itself, which is very distracting and annoying. I really hope the problem gets solved quickly, because I would love to change my review to 5 stars.

very relaxing and helpful. User friendly interface and well organized meditations. Some of the images are cute, all are simple and calmimg. I don't have much experience meditating, and I feel like this is a good start for a beginner, or a great supplement for someone more experienced. I like that some meditations allow you to adjust the length to suit your need at they particular moment. The daily recommendations are also nice. Works as advertised, which is saying something these days.

I love this app & find it worth the cost for my usage. It's developed into more than "just" mindfulness exercises. I particularly enjoy the bedtime yoga. It would be nice to be able to queue the bedtime features, eg setting sleep radio/soundscapes to play straight after a sleepcast. I've taken a star off for that. Disappointing to see it's only subscription now. Used to be able to access some sounds, sleepcasts & meditation without paying. Limits access for people. That loses another star.

Wonderful app for mindful practices! I have been using this app for almost 3 years now and seeing how the team enriching the offerings and improving the app functions, making mindful practice more accessible and easy to people who want to have some mindful moments in their lives. I love the Focus music playlist and sleep casts. There are many free mindful practice apps out there. However if you are looking for a comprehensive one that offers high quality content, this app is worth the money.

This rating is for app and not the content. Content is great but the app sort of ruins it. Sometimes it just pauses in between even with a downloaded session. So here I was waiting for the prompt to come at the end of session with my eyes closed, but the session just paused. This is really aweful

The latest update seems to reset all the meditations to the shortest lengths. I've noticed this with the Pro (level 6) series as well as the Kids Goodnight (age 6-8). I've been going through the Pro series for awhile and up to now it has picked the 15 minute length ever since I selected it, now it's set to 10 minutes. I use the kids goodnight 6 minutes every night with my kid, and it suddenly was set to 2 minutes

Great app and loads to choose from, even if it is a little expensive for a student (can't believe there's no discount!) but it keeps shutting down during a meditation (I.e. I'll feel like it's been silent for a while and check my phone and it's because the app has closed). I've tried redownloading it and clearing the cache, but neither helped.

5 Stars! In my opinion the best paid meditation app 🧘‍♀️🌤 That being said, I noticed something that's quite annoying. When I wake up in the morning, I open the app,first do the "5 breaths" and get s green checkmark for that. Then I move on to "the wakeup" and once it is finished, I get a checkmark for that, BUT THEN the 5-breaths checkmark disappears and doesn't come back even though I finish all the dailys on the home ("today") screen. I like checking off things and that's why it bothers me:(

headspace was a great introduction for me into the world of meditation and mindfulness. It provided me with a solid foundation to explore myself with a compassionate understanding. it's helped me to overcome anxiety, existential issues, and depression. I still deal with these issues (on a much small level), but I have a better framework to tackle my problems. it's given me the ability to sit through any challenges that come my way and come out stronger 💪

Cannot Cancel the subscription through app, need to visit desktop site to cancel. If you can allow subscribtion through app you can easily provide cancel option in mobile. It's just a SCAM and LOOT people, so that people can forget to subscribe even if they don't want to continue. Cancellation should be as easy as subscription, actually even easier as it doesn't involve any payment. And no, I will not send an e-mail to address my concern. Anything you have to say, you an say here.

this app is soo bloated now. the downloads never work, if you don't have an internet connection. i mediate in a outdoor area with no signal or wifi and the downloaded session take forever to load or sometimes not at all. this wasn't the case last year, these new bloated features are awful

The wind down times are inaccurate; the lengths are off. "Goodnight" is no longer up to 20 min. Up until yesterday it was doing 10 min max with all teachers. Now it's up to 15, still inaccurate to the posted time. It takes me awhile to wind down and the 20 min really helped those nights. Plus I just hate inaccuracies because it feels untruthful to me. It also automatically starts once you've; I've thought about if I'd like it to do that before the switch and I can confirm that I need dislike it.

I pay the annual subscription for this, and will keep doing so for as long as the sleepcasts exist. They have become a vital part of my sleep routine. The rest of the app is useful and just fine, but those sleepcasts are SOLID GOLD. Currently on a Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, but have used it for years on other devices (older phones in the same Galaxy line) with no issues.

The meditation script is pretty much one size fits all. Every meditation experience is different and we can take different paths to get there. This one has just one routine and the prompts serve only to distract my meditation.

Great app, so much variety different courses and topics covered, I never understood the importance of meditation but it has been life changing for me. Worth every dollar for this app I use it everyday in the morning as soon as I wake up and all night to help me sleep... especially enjoy the dailies
