Since all the AI additions it has gotten cluttered and harder to navigate. also slower to load. then it was bought by a company that I don't care for so I'm giving it up. over to another app.

You can't login (auth error: Not found) and you can't use the app without login.

Please give me at least something free. It's just as if you were buying something. It's as if you pay for something and then use it. I really liked using the app 14 days of free trial. This App is consuming too much data. I would give you 5 stars if you gave it to me for free.

it is more like a headache, unable to login, the very first experience was so annoying that I uninstalled in the first 10 minutes

The app itself is fine. I enjoy the sleepcasts & sleep music. However, I hate the AI push. AI has proven to be extremely detrimental for mental health, and it's mind-boggling that Headspace jumped on the bandwagon. When you use 8 hr sleep music, it will sometimes randomly turn off, or stay "on" after the track is finished. Additionally, the app is CONSTANTLY running in the background once you have opened it, eating your battery power. I have to Force Stop the app through my Settings.

I have a few requests... BUT I MUST SAY THIS APP IS BRILLIANT (like if this resonates so Headspace sees it) I love how therapy is offered on this app, but it's not avaliable to me because of where I live (outside the US) so I hope that you'll expand in that sense. I noticed that there's some content for kids, but not for teenagers and that's a very emotional and stressful part of life. that's it! Thanks! Keep improving the app Y'all, I love it how it is but there's always room for improvement!

I bought an annual subscription 3 months ago and it was working fine. I wasn't super impressed but it was ok; then a week ago it quit working. I tried logging out and then back in, uninstalling and starting over, turning my device off and back on,nothing makes it work. So I'm thinking it was really a waste of nearly a hundred dollars. 2026 I did get the app working and I ended up loving it. I kept it going for 2 years and then tried some other apps. I'm thinking of buying a membership again.

The UX feels like TikTok where you just get random stuff recommended to you. I want to be able to open it and listen to the next session in a meditation course I am following, instead I find myself clicking through random subsections with pretty pictures and vague titles and forgetting what I was intending to do.

Sleepcasts and Sleep sounds keep shutting off soon after the phone screen shuts off for about a month now. I enjoy using these sounds to help me fall asleep, but I'll have to look elsewhere if this isn't fixed soon. My rating will go up to 5 stars when this is fixed because this app really has helped manage depression significantly.

Absolutely gutted that they have jumped on the AI train and been bought out by a 'Health and AI' company. Will be looking for a non-AI alternative.

Frozen on the opening screen. normally after an "update". surely apps have been about long enough that a meditation app should work consistently.

โThe app feels cluttered and overwhelming instead of clearโit simply adds noise to an already chaotic world. Please consider simplifying the layout.

I really enjoyed this app for the month I was able to even use it. It just doesnt work anymore. Sometimes it won't even open past the initial loading screen and other times it won't even play the meditations or videos at all so im not getting anywhere.

The downloads for offline use literally always fails. This has happened across 3 phones over 5 years. It's just failed again right now. You can't even download a small segment of your course - only 700Mb. It's stupidly slow to load sometimes. The UI is confusing and awkward to use. This is an app that plays MP3's. That's its job. It does not do it well. It is absolutely not worth the money it charges. The content is relatively good but the app is designed by clowns and built by monkeys.

The streak counter is not working properly. And it's quite disheartening when you try to meditate diligently every day but it shows a streak of two :( Will gladly change rating if fixed.

the android app is hard to use, crashes a lot. iOS is a lot more polished. I've been a headspace user for years and I can say wholeheartedly that this company has been on the decline. Since Andy left the focus has only been on the corporate and pandering for mass appeal. there was another noticeable decline when Eve left and the content became dry and recycled. The app is hard to use, it's a little bit of everything and a whole lot of nothing. There are far better alternatives elsewhere

Extremely disappointed with this company. if you all actually had your finger on the pulse of today's mental health climate, you would know that AI is a leading cause of a lot of people's stress and anxiety, but now they have been acquired by Sword, a company priding itself on its AI applications for healthcare. I genuinely hope you continue to provide human created content and do not even contemplate AI generated content, but I have zero trust now.

play button is not working anymore, it's greyed out. I had to restart my phone and for one meditation it worked but the problem is back. also I cannot drag up the full drop down menu to select the length, for ex. I only see until 10min on a maximum 20min meditation

In 2020 the App was 5/5, but now it's awful to use. Some bugs, very slow loading times, downloads often not working, offline is not working for me and the navigation in the app is awful.
