I love Headspace as a service (my daily streak is over 2000 days) but this app gets worse every time they update it; it's overstuffed with random content and it's glitchy to use. My "recent" section hasn't updated for months, meditations often hang without closing for minutes after ending, I get reminder notifications to do the next session of a sleep program I completed a month ago, etc. I keep recommending this app to people but I'm not surprised that almost no one seems to keep using it.

I've used this app for years. I used to enjoy most of the content and get a lot of use out of it (esp the sleep section), but the UI just keeps getting worse, making it harder to find things w/out digging multiple pages deep, which can get stressful. Also, recently there's a lot of focus on the instructors themselves and work productivity, giving a very corporate, toxic-positivity vibe. The old stuff is still good, but I get less and less interested in any of the new.

Overall, i really like headspace, it got a skeptic like me to believe in the power of meditation. Search features and overall selection have come a long way! The only downside for me and why not a 5 star, is that you dont get to choose the narrator. There are 1 or 2 narrators whose voices just dont click with me, and it ruins the immersion, essentially making associated themes unusable to me. I hope they add the option to choose narrator, or at least get ppl with more neutral voices

Thanks for your feedback! We're thrilled our app has helped get you started on your meditation journey. We now offer the ability to select your teacher on select courses and singles within the Headspace app. If a session or course is available from another teacher, you will see it under the "Your teacher" section within the course or session.

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.

If you run into any trouble, let us know at help@headspace.com
