Headspace: Sleep & Meditation App Reviews

I wanted to express my gratefulness here vs. sending in an email so that others could see the impact. Im a long time meditator with just shy of 1,500 hrs of practice completed to date. Ive tried different methods over the years and feel that I have gained the most daily & long term benefit from Andys approach. When learning anything new or when looking to develop some type of mastery in an area its important to have a great teacher/mentor helping you along the way. That is exactly what Andy has been on this journey. Im only 63 days in and am blown away by the quality of the instruction and guidance. Its like Andy knows the subject so well that it feels that hes guiding me personally. You forget that hes guiding thousands daily (I check the app stats daily) through the same process. Every time that I have some difficulty with an approach or my mind resists the techniques Andy seems to know exactly what to say at the right time. Sometimes in the middle of what Im experiencing through a quick instruction during the practice or the following day when he recaps the exercise and what to expect/do. I thought the cost was high at first but quickly realized that I was getting an excellent deal for what I was getting. Getting a year subscription makes sense. When my year is up I will strongly contemplate a lifetime subscription. Its a life long journey and Im really enjoying the process without worrying too much about the result. With daily practice, a gentle commitment, curiosity and persistence a clear blue sky is the limit. Youll get this joke the first few days into your training. :) Thanks Andy for making the world a better place.

Absolutely changed my life within a month. Well worth my money and super excited to continue the different packages!

Started meditating with this app after my gf (psych student) recommended it

Well designed and very useful app. However, the subscription is too expensive.

The concept of this app is amazing, and I was very excited to try. However, it is very expensive! I get frustrated with apps that give you a sliver of access, and then want to charge you monthly. Especially when you can access a billion free guided meditations online. This app even charges you for UNGUIDED meditations - you may as well just put some spa music on and set a timer, FOR FREE!!!! :( super bummed out.

I am recovering from a brain injury and needed a structured meditation program I could do at home. I happily paid the annual rate and have done four of the series so far and am pleased with the quality and my personal progress. I have recommended to friends and family.

I found the animations describing the concept of meditation quite entertaining and engaging. I have used the app for 32 sessions so far and think its worth the money. I can appreciate the work/effort involved to make something of this caliber available to the masses and I find myself looking forward to my 15 minutes of meditation. I am able to access the benefits of the 15 minutes of meditation, all day! It feels great knowing Im taking time to get into such a relaxed, beautiful state of being.

Too expensive, the guy talks waaay too much. Free options are available. Dont fall for it.

I live in a rural area where access to a quality meditation program is not possible. This one is the best one I have found so far. I recommend this provided you have the resources to access the paid content

Simple and soft. Easy to use and a great companion helping to build a daily routine.

I love the app but after the update Im not able to play the singles. I use the sleep one almost every night and I cant listen to it any longer. Fix please.

This is the best app for meditation I have found. It takes just 10 minutes per day and you can try out the first 10 sessions for free. The voice of the moderator is easy to Listen to. Just really like it!

Heard about this on Stuff You Should Know last week. Very nice. Very much needed. Thank you.

Ive been meditating for over 2 years and this is by far the best app Ive ever tried. Its far more than just a meditation app, rather its like your own self development coach in your pocket. Thanks for developing such a great app Andy!

The subscription is expensive but it makes mediation easy, manageable and something you actually look forward to.

Ive always logged in through Facebook but now it only shows an "authentication failed" error message.

I love this app. Always wanted to meditate, but never did. Since using this, its made it so simple and I dont have to think about what to do, just follow along. Now Im meditating daily and its making such a difference

But this app is amazing. So gentle, such a great introduction. I look forward to my daily session

I really liked the first 10 sessions but sadly it is outrageously expensive to continue with. Who can afford those monthly prices in this economy. Its really to bad because I really enjoyed the free trial.

I now wake up at 6:30am before work to meditate because these meditations make such a difference to my day. Definitely worth the subscription after finishing the free meditations. I have already learned so much about how the mind works. I love how educational and based in mindfulness the meditations are.
