Headspace: Sleep & Meditation App Reviews

Been a long time user of headspace (almost 7 years) and been subscribed for the past three. Just wanted to make a note that it’s been so impressive seeing this team continuing to outdo themselves when they could have sat on what they had and kept it there. Just completed my first module of the improving sleep program and just so impressed with the quality of the services found within this program and outside. This is my overdue shoutout and 5 star to the team!

I’ve been using Headspace now for about a year and it has been such a gift to myself. The daily meditation and the words shared before the meditation have so often been exactly what I needed to hear and do. This is one of those very few things that exist on my phone that I can say have actually been a benefit to me. I can really tell that the team at Headspace really pour their hearts into this, and I can’t appreciate enough their compassion and thoughtfulness. Thank you.

I continue to feel the benefit of the meditation , have also started the workout routines and other resources as well. Making this part of my daily routine is something I look forward to

I've been a Headspace member for around 4-5 years at this point. For a long time it's been integral to my day. I really appreciate the place it has held in my life, however I will be cancelling my membership coming up soon. I don't love the direction they have been going in. At a time I think they had consistently great meditations/content, however I think they are straying away from what made them who they are. They hold such an important place mindfulness & in user interface design, however I

I love this app and use it everyday but I really wish there was just one more feature. Please add the option for longer sleepcasts like you do in the soundscapes. The story doesn’t have to be longer but just keep the ambience going after the narrative is over. This would make a huge difference for me. Sometimes the sudden silence from the ambience fading away wakes me up. So having it go longer would be great. Thanks 😇

One of the better apps as far as functionality. As far as content it is excellent. Everything is about improving yourself and becoming a more centered person. Lots of topics and if you stick with it you will notice changes. Don’t be discouraged if your mind drifts , it is normal and gets better. Looking at the recent comments the recent update may be causing some problems.

I give headspace 5 stars because Andy has helped me through so much pain with meditation. I was in a serious car accident 5 years ago had a fracture sternum and broken ribs and headspace got me through horrific pain. Had two hips replaced and Andy got me through that. I am now dealing with wrist pain and everyday it seems like when I am listening to him and meditating the pain feels less. Thank you so much

I love this App. It has taught me so much about meditation and loving yourself.

This app has truly changed my life. I’ve been doing headspace for over a year now and it is apart of my daily routine.

I have used this app on and off over the years and recently have started using it more consistently since my mother passed. I love the simplicity of this app, and Andy’s voice is very soothing. I find it to be a very healing modality in dealing with my grief.

Widgets really work well with focus modes. Love setting up my focus along with meditation prompts. Alas, the widget goes dark if you don’t open the app. The only way to reactivate it is to manually open the Headspace app.

I love the feature of being able to choose the length of time for my mindful mediations. Sometime I have 10, sometimes 20 and at times 5! Thank you, Headspace for making it easy!

The “set an intention” popup you get when restarting your subscription doesn’t let you submit. When I cancelled before and it offered me a discounted rate to resubscribe, the buttons for that didn’t work either 😐

I’ve made this practice a part of my everyday life and it has made the difference. Life saving. 🙏🏽

I really like the app but it freezes or crashes a lot.

Awesome,.. I’m add/hd and my mind is a spinning maelstrom of ruminations and second guessing. Headspace is helping me get mindful and calming me down so I’m better suited to sorting things out .

At night, I really love to listen to one of the night time meditations. They really help me. I’d really also like to listen to things like the white noises and such once the wind downs are over. Why can’t I queue the white noise to play afterwards? I love the app otherwise and use it daily.

Head space is an amazing app I’ve been using it for a few years already and it just relaxes me so much, it helps with my stress and tension in my body.

I love this app, but I wish I could filter for Andy!!!

Never disappointed. Always impressed!

I absolutely love how inclusive this app is. I love the meditations and I love that I have so many wonderful meditations to explore. However, I wish there were a way to reverse it for those who work night shift. Like, a meditation to get ready for the day when the sun sets would be amazing.

Been using daily since 2017. Excellent options to help you focus on wellbeing and letting go of the often barrage of thoughts…with focus on your breathe. Just 3 or 5 or 10 minutes each morning to start the day. And when I can’t sleep or wake up in middle of night there are exercises or soothing music to listen to that help me go back to sleep. Highly recommend!

I love headspace. Some improvements would be seeing more of my own historical data so that I can correlate trends to actions over time. Also, searchability -particularly for the daily meditations- and the ability to come back to them easily would be fantastic. I would also like the ability to structure my queue of daily meditations / visualizations (like a “stack”).

Headspace has good and varied content that is very helpful for navigating life. Every time I use it though, I long for an option which would allow me to queue up multiple talks and meditations so I do not need be interrupted and inconvenienced to grab my phone to click the next option. I like to use the app lying in bed, morning or evening. Please increase the functionality soon. It’s an easy fix, after all.

My only complaint is regarding the tally of hours meditated / profile accomplishment section. The app cannot count hours meditated separately from hours that I listened to relaxing music. It sounds like it should be a pretty easy fix. Disappointing

Been too hard to contact their customer service dept for a week. No response. No call. No assistance. Not impressive for a spiritually evolved brand. I’ve tried multiple ways, multiple times.

Whenever my mind is feeling cluttered or I am feeling really low, I can count on one of Rinas yoga sessions to get me in a better headspace. I hope you invite her to create more videos!

Using Headspace has transformed my life. From being able to sleep soundly using Sleepcasts to managing my anger through meditation. Thank you Andy and the amazing crew at Headspace.

Nothing irritates me more than downloading an app that appears either free, or with in app purchases, only to download it and sign up with your email and password to find out that there’s a brief trial period but then it cost $69 a year. Tell us that at the outset let us make our own informed decisions, but don’t pretend that your app has a lot of free choices to lure people in. 😡

The meditations are great. It’s the way the app mis-tracks what day it is or how many days in a row I’ve been using it, and sometimes won’t give me a meditation in the course I’m enrolled in. Instead it tries to stick me with some other unrelated video that I don’t want. This is extremely frustrating when you’re trying to relax. Again, the meditations are great, please just make the rest of the app simpler to use, less buggy and maybe provide a feedback interface within the app as well for whe

In our hectic world. I know that all we have is time. Sometimes I forget that it is my time. There is nothing more important than staying focused and moving forward. But most important is my inner peace for if I am at oeace with myself then I am at peace with everything else. This is what headspace does for me. Thank you headspace

The app is wonderful, it works great for calming down and general mood. But it is very misleading to call it free because you can’t use any of the activities without buying a subscription. The app actually costs $6 a month if you want to actually use it.

I've been using headspace for several years. It helps me with my headaches (I did the coping with pain course like 3 times by now), helps me focus, find my creativity. Even the focus music is something I use.

The many different teachers bring a new beginning each day and a new and refreshing perspective! it’s like a big hug every morning-thank you all for guiding me thru this tumultuous time

I think this app is amazing and the contact included is top quality. However even though there has been a recent price deduction, it is still pretty expensive. I wish this was cheaper because I think many can benefit from it.

Thank you Andy and the entire headspace team.

ive used headspace before but the one thing i very much dislike is how everything is locked and id have to pay to unlock it. i mainly downloaded it for sleep but when i go onto the sleep section i cant listen to anything cause i have do pay for them. don’t advertise that its free if it isnt.

Headspace makes meditation extremely accessible and welcoming. I’m so glad I got the courage to start my meditation practice. Give it a try, you will not regret it.

In the middle of one meditation i felt everything ease up just as if i had no problems, as if i were a child again. I would highly suggest for those who are stressed out in life.

This app has helped me so much, specially while I was deployed in Afghanistan. It gave me the strength and wisdom I needed to get through that rough period of time! I love the app and the great meditations they have!

Personally as a beginner I love everything about it ,I sleep much better I feel much better I learn how to meditate etc ,if it’s a better app than this I need to know 💖

I don’t like to listen to the same sleep cast twice please put more options. And I still can’t download the sleep casts

I am not as consistent I’d like to be with my mediation practice, but Headspace makes it so easy to get that 10 minute back to myself whenever I need it.

If you truly want to know yourself, try this. It’s genuine and very helpful, I might say it’s only hard if your pride and ego get in the way but isn’t that everyone’s experience 🥰

Thank you for helping me understand what to do when I feel lonely
