Ratings and reviews

Update: un-installed, reinstalled. Now my track will play for about 2 minutes, then cuts out. It says it's still playing, but no sound. If I force close/reopen, can't open the track to play it. Currently not working on my galaxy s21 ultra. I can get the app to open and navigate to sleep, but I can't get any of the tracks to open. If I click on brown or orange noise, or the deep sleep binaural beat I usually use, it just hangs on a lack screen forever!

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!

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.
