What is ts

Downloaded the app and it’s instantly trying to make me pay for a subscription, can’t even listen to white noise without it being locked. Everything is locked. Let’s not be greedy now.

Not free

Literally nothing is free at all. Cant use anything on this app imo use something else.

The 50% renewal subscription is unreachable within the app

I see popups for it but I can never reach it. Otherwise as always love Andy’s guided meditations

Sending me in loops increasing stress, not reducing

Infuriating app. Maybe it works for some people, but I’ve been trying for days now. Even with a referral to see a therapist the team just sends me in an endless loop. “Want to schedule a therapist? Talk to the coach!” Coach says “Talk to Member Services,” Member Services says “click the Therapist button to schedule appt”. Clicking the button gets you “Want to schedule a therapist? Talk to the coach!”… and rinse, repeat. After three days of this my mental health is in a far worse state.

Three stars

How am I supposed to relax when it’s 70$????im going to freak out instead

Ebb is impressive

I’ve been someone who has struggled with anxiety my whole life, and the mix of meditation and therapy this app provides has been really effective for me. I have a three-pronged system in place. I speak to my therapist twice a week, meditate once a day, and externalize to Ebb during flare-ups of anxiety. These three things working together has made me feel a sense of progress I haven’t felt in a long time.

Ebb has especially come a long way since I first tried to use it when it was first introduced. It asks good questions, makes interesting connections from prior conversations, and can make effective suggestions to navigate specific moments. This will never replace my therapy, but to have a place to catch anxiety in the moment, talk through the lessons I’ve learned from my therapy, and work through things quickly with a cognitive behavioral approach, helps me catch anxiety before my day begins to spiral.

Very impressed and curious to see where things go from here.

Guided Programs

The guided programs are glitchy and I have to restart and fast forward the videos multiple times to get the session marked complete.

Bring the Wake-Up back please!

Please bring the wake-up back to be available on the Home Screen during any time of day. Watching it in the evenings has been part of my wind-down routine for years. I can get meditations anywhere. I’ve stayed with Headspace for years because of the Wake-Up. If it doesn’t come back, I’ll probably cancel my subscription.

It’s…ok?..

It’s really great like I love the sleepcasts, but otherwise….i don’t know

It’s not the same

I used this about years ago and it just isn’t the same it’s really a shame… I used to love it and found it super helpful,

This should be available on MacOS

I don’t like to type anything more than short messages on iPhone. Since the app isn’t available on my laptop, using it causes me stress!

Not free

You have to pay to access everything! I was scrolling for ages and couldn’t find any free meditations

New update frustration

The new update is not it. It's harder to navigate and do the daily meditations. Opening your favorites tab is annoying and what happened to the daily wake up? Headspace is sliding. Won't be renewing subscription at the rate

Rubbish Login

App wouldn’t let me log in despite constantly resetting my password. I’d love to use the app but it wouldn’t even let me through. Great work team keep it up!

Every one is the same

Every meditation is the same except the speech in the beginning

Money grabber

I downloaded this app because I loved their content on Netflix for sleeping, turns out you have to pay for practically every single thing. It’s only $5 a month, not bad, but unnecessary. They post on YouTube for free. Making others pay for this app is absurd when I can easily find your content elsewhere. According to others, this app used to be fully functional and FREE. Why change that?? The effect of changing your app is making you lose customers. Within 5 minutes I downloaded this app, explored it, saw everything was locked, and deleted it. Do better. If you want a loyal community, don’t try to get money out of everything.

No Andy

I’d used the app for years. Recently I noticed that it was harder to find the meditations led by Andy. Then I found out that he had left. He was my favorite and had the most calming voice. I couldn’t get comfortable with anyone else. The leads either had voices that were creepy or had a serious vocal fry. I recently left the app.

Updating (for me)

Basically I use this every night and it helps me so much with like everything but the problem is that whenever I listen to a sleep cast the pause, rewind, and fast forward thing when my mobile is locked never shows up and then I have to upload it and then it’s a one time use thing and then it just stops working and the problem is that whenever I come to the App Store to update AGAIN it doesn’t show it’s just “open app” it’s so frustrating!

New Version Sucks

App was amazing, genuinely amazing. Then they updated it and you have to pay for literally everything… no thank you, especially not the amount they’re asking. Just go on YouTube and search what you want to watch from creators similar; for free.

No AI please

I decided not to subscribe due to my customer service ticket being directed to AI.
