User reviews

Cluttered with content

Ironically, this app is not mindful in its UX design. There are so many levels and types of content, without any clear organization, that it makes it so frustrating to navigate. I don’t open the app because its so overwhelming

Not quite the same

I used to enjoy Headspace much more, as I found it easier to relate to an English accent, it was just softer for me.
I do hope this AI thing won’t mean there are no options to choose the speaker.
The meditation offerings are superb and I hope will continue.

They harass you through emails

I explicitly said I don’t want communication via email yet they keep sending emails. Such a predatory tactic, stop harassing people

Difficult to cancel

The instructions to cancel do not cancel, seems this app makes it difficult just to collect more $

Great Tool for Mindfulness

I first downloaded Headspace over a decade ago. I was managing a lot of pain and anxiety.

Depending on the season of my life, I have been more or less active in my use. When my parent got cancer and ultimately passed, having Headspace as a resource made it easier to just sit and be quiet, or to work through some of the grief associated with it.

It’s been long enough I don’t always subscribe, to be honest. I’ve had stretches where my own knowledge of meditation and mindfulness has been enough when my budget was a prohibitive factor. But I’ve gone back many times, and will continue to do so.

If I had to name a con, the UX could be a little more streamlined, but it’s not bad. Just not as intuitive as it could be.
