Reviews for Headspace: Meditation & Health

huhseiwhat

Used for years, but the expense finally became too high. Wish there was a separate Sleep content-only app. That section's all I subbed for in the end, and I felt off paying so much for 1/4 (or; less?) of the whole app. Headspace is absolutely packed with things to listen to/watch/engage with, to its credit. But I am wary of the Ebb thing. I don't believe in AI generation being beneficial.

was really skeptical of these types of "meditation apps" but a subscription came included with my health plan, so i figured why not. As someone who deals with an anxiety disorder, I was very pleasantly surprised. The exercises aren't pretentious, they don't rely on simply calming music, and they are very approachable and practical. There are exercises for post workout, after or during work hours, helping you fall asleep, grounding methods while you're having a panic attack - all sorts of stuff.

Great app. I highly recommend it. Things that could be improved - skipping the intro of the meditations (my favourite one starts by saying "we're halfway through the week"), being able to make a playlist (back to back meditations for sleep could help us not look at our phone every 10 minutes)

Still a really buggy app that will freeze in the middle of a session and pause itself. Then it won't let you restart the session and just takes you back to the home page. I've been using this app for 5 years and I'm about to find a different one. Edit: The app is still clunky and messes up my meditation counter and tracker. The minute I can figure out what is a better app to use, I'm using it. And stop asking me to check in for crying out loud. what is that? Leave it alone.

I used to love this app, but it has changed so much that it is almost unusable. The push of AI is disgusting. I used to be able to do all the suggested activities for the day, the wakeup, the meditation, the sleep cast, all on one page. Now I have to search for anything, avoid AI, and it's made it so much less enjoyable. I'm going to stop paying for it.

2025AUG edit: the content is good, but the updates over the past year have made the app much more buggy and much less intuitive/user friendly (e.g. doesn't remember the current course). UI needs to be simplified. --- The content is amazing, and has helped me a lot with daily stress, anxiety, etc no doubt. Definitely worth the cost, I highly recommend anyone to give it a try, especially if you're going through stressful times, it's a great step in calming down and helping you find your way.

I have been a member for 5 years. Over time the app has declined. The most recent update is too much. The morning routines are no longer on the main page. I tried using my favorites; the tab doesn't work. The history tab only shows the last item. My stats page is inaccurate. My most recents have been the same for over a year; not true. These issues are not helping me manage my anxiety or sleep issues. They are aggravating them. Why am I paying for this? Peace out.

I've been very happy with the guided meditation that headspace offers, and I'll continue to use the platform, but I'm very disappointed to see them jump on the AI bandwagon. AI has no place in this space where we are trying to connect to ourselves as humans. And not for nothing, but enshittification strikes everywhere, including with Headspace. The app has been getting slower to load with every needless visual overhaul to the app.

Used to love this app and use it everyday. The recent changes have ruined it. No more suggestions for morning, afternoon, and evening. No way to see if you completed an activity. VERY SLOW to load now sleepcasts no longer have the narrator name which was helpful to make choices. No longer able to save a teacher choice or meditation length. History is almost nonexistent now. Dashboard is just very cluttered and busy now. It now thinks it is evening instead of morning so time zones are wrong.

Hello. I mostly use the Ebb reflection tab and soundscapes. Even though it's AI, it's one of the reasons Im still here in the world. It's also really nice to have access to a reflection history, I've been going through a very hard time with my inner battles and revisiting the reflections can help remind me of what I've learned about myself. Also, some people note the app stops playing background music, you may have to go back and fix some background permission settings on phone to prevent that
