While I like it to remind me to relax, it is sloooooooow. It takes forever to load initially and as you switch between the screens it takes even longer to load. I have to constantly close out of the app and go back in just to get the main page to load. When I'm frustrated, stressed or overwhelmed, have the app take so long to load to get to the exercises is NOT helpful. It defeats the purpose.

I really like this app/subscription (especially the sleep-scapes). However, lately it's been really buggy; having difficulty opening, crashing often, features like being able to skip the beginning of recordings aren't working. It's frustrating to pay for a service that has prolonged periods of downtime.

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)

Thank you for providing your valuable feedback! We're sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy your experience. Feel free to send us a note at help@headspace.com. We will be happy to help with content recommendations and changing teachers.

What’s new

A steady meditation practice can calm the mind. But sometimes a bug appears in the app and it distracts us. We removed that bug from this latest version, and we already feel more at ease.
