I really like headspace. They have an excellent student discount and they’re constantly adding new programs and never charge more for the additions. I will continue with headspace even paying full price after I graduate.

Teaches me amazing techniques. I notice a lot of improvement in my daily life after using this app. I am not that reactive, and I can calm down from anxiety easier. I developed a very useful approach to my anxiety. I learned acceptance. Also the daily videos always help me to start the day. I love it so much, it has already taught me more than any psychologist i have gone to.

Headspace helps me manage my anxiety. I find the app easy to use and as its included with my spotify subscription I find it afforadable.

I unsubscribed and got charged the annual fee. The scripts are idiotic, there are better meditation tapes on Youtube. Headspace is the worst subscription I have ever used.

I really feel better using this app daily

A very sick app run by sick people who have created something to extort money from vulnerable people. Please don’t subscribe to this company unless you have £50 to spare a month. Or if you do at least do so with your eyes open. If you download the app (intentionally or otherwise) on App Store after a week you will be charged £50. Just beware.

This is what I wrote to Headspace a week ago after getting an email from them thanking me for letting them take more money out of my account. Still waiting for a response. Seeing their low rating on Trustpilot, I now understand why. "Dear Headspace, When I signed up for this app for one year on 11 August 2020, I was not aware that I would be put on on auto renew. The app is designed in such a way that it is not possible to see that there is an auto renew from the account profile in the app itself, nor indeed from the list of subscriptions under the Apple ID. Not very transparent or customer friendly. If someone is automatically on auto renew, you could at least do them the courtesy of sending an email reminder that they are about to renew and give them the option to cancel before a deadline. Instead, you hide this feature and just take the money. Pretty disappointing. I could have expected something like this from a more disreputable business, not from a leading mindfulness app that I have grown to enjoy and trust over the years. I would appreciate it if you could refund my money now. I cannot use Headspace if I do not trust your business. PS: If your response says 'well mate, read the pages of T’s and C’s - it’s all in there!' I will be disappointed even more. Hiding such fundamental matters as a year of payment in long pages of legalese is not a good way to build trust with subscribers. But you know this already, right?"

I cancelled my subscription in May but they still took £49.99 from my account In July when subscription would have been due. I have sent several emails to which they have not responded. I will not recommend this app to anyone.
