Ich hab das Headspacemonatsabo gekündigt und es wird einfach immer weiter Geld abgebucht. Kundenservice schiebt alles auf googleplay. Absolute unseriös dieses Headspace..

BE CAREFUL. Once your trial period is over they will continue taking the subscription out of your account by stealth, i.e. without any prior warning or communication, until further notice, even if you are not using the service. I have been quietly charged £150 over the last three years despite not using them since 2021. I would NOT RECOMMEND HEADSPACE for this reason. Although legally acceptable, in my opinion they should at least send you an email to remind you that they will be taking a subscription fee from your bank account.

Signed up for Headspace with a yearly subscription, took note of the terms of use being "cancel anytime". After finding the app too attention-grabby and their colab with Disney and other less than noble francises, I wanted to cancel. Contacted helpesk, was told to do this on the Headspace platform, (PC) but it wasn't possible under subscription. Contacted again and they left me without responing for 3 months. "Sorry to keep you waiting" was the automated message in November 2023. Only after uploading screenshots of the page they directed me to, the platform - so they could SEE cancelling isn't possible, - also attatched my emails to their help center - did they cancel on the day. Oh like it was no problem. Some of the responses from the team were downright rude with resposes like "looking into your mess", misspelling my name and so on. And then: they tried to blame me, my email-adress,my bank- anything except taking responsibility, kind, and making less stress - ah - for users who came to them for mindfulness, and ended up with the stress of not being able to get away from this company.

When I first used this back years ago the app was organised and easy to navigate. Furthermore, Andy's voice was so calming. Now, it's hard to navigate and very disorganised. Has Headspace been bought out? Most videos are now narrated by Americans now and there isn't the option to switch back to British. Might seem minor but it makes a lot of difference

Don’t use free trials - it’s impossible to get out without being charged for an annual subscription. They also charge you before your free trial is over. The app is not good with your mental health - ironic right?

Company is complete scam. Sign up for a free two weeks then are charged a year without offer of refund from anywhere or anyone. They are just scammers that have half an idea what they're doing. 0* do not spend your money here.

The app is very disorganized. All my readings, videos, etc that I had worked on the previous day, would disappear the next. I only wanted to concentrate on sleeping, however they would bombard me with all kinds of other things I was not interested in. I requested my money back however they ignored me. They lack of customer service also, how frustrating.
