Ratings and reviews

I was always getting ads for this app, and since I have high levels of anxiety, stress, and depression, I decided to try it out. The intro video seemed great; it pulled me in and made me more excited to pursue my mental health. The app looks clean and nice, but there is a HUGE limit. Almost every video is locked, meaning you cannot access it unless if you pay for their plan. I do understand that money funds their mission, but I cannot find a single video that is required without pay. Uninstall!

I like the content and have been a subscriber for years. However, the app, despite its look and feel, doesn't work very smoothly. I sometimes cannot load the "Today" page, and the video and guide do not work as expected. It auto stop after 1 second. The overall experience with the app has been up and down for me. I hope the issues will be fixed soon because the price is hefty for a meditation app.

I have been using Headspace for years, now! I started with beginners courses and took baby steps. it's still challenging and I defy consider myself a beginner. There have been setbacks! And I sometimes need to switch things off. I really appreciate the opportunity to explore that Headspace provides! discovering podcasts, learning new perspectives with new teachers. it all makes me feel connected and realize that I am not alone! I am an earthseed, to put it in the words of Octavia E Butler!.

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.
