1. 5/5Wholesome & Effective Wellness Hub!

   This app is versatile, fresh and wellness focused with a clean, approachable and attractive aesthetic. I love it! I have been using it for a long time and it pleasantly gets better and better with time. It really helps with anxiety, sleep trouble, anger and now so many other areas of challenge in life. I think there’s something for everyone—regardless of background—to benefit from in the app. My partner and I enjoy doing meditations and Move exercises together. They seem to always be adding more and improving in ways that I previously had silently wished they would. As for possible improvements, I’d really like to be able to “shuffle” or choose a random sleepcast, specifically. Also, it would be nice if I could rewind the sleepcast, as sometimes I miss the beginning or certain parts while I’m settling in, or still have stuff on my mind from the day and don’t want to go through the whole wind down exercise again. Another suggestion—and this may just be an issue with my older Apple TV—if I could airplay the video along with the audio (Move exercises, The Wake Up) that would be fantastic as right now only audio plays on the tv while I have to watch the fitness instructor from the phone. One last thing, how about Apple Watch compatibility? That would be delightful and I would use it even more often. Any small flaws or teensy inconveniences aside, it’s still well worth the small fee to support the people who make this great service available to us.

2. 5/5It’s a Miracle App!

   Edit: Please add airplay! Especially for things like the Sleepcasts! I’d love to play it through my HomePod Mini! Thanks! 🙏🏻 This app has helped me so much! When I am suffering from stress, health anxiety, or fibro/stress related body pains I turn to this app and go through some meditations with the teachers. It’s an excellent way for me to relax. Calm my mind. Stop thinking about myself. And to recover in the moment. Hopefully in time this will help me heal, as previously I’ve just been getting worse and worse without any therapy since my therapist’s practice permanently shutdown from COVID. This has been a great help and is something I can just pull out of my pocket and sit in my bedroom for a bit to calm down. Well worth the 1 year subscription price I’ve paid. Thank you! 😊🙏🏻 *There is only one thing that I’d change. This would be for some of the workout audios. I need to walk a lot for a heart condition I have (which is a big cause of my health anxiety), and I’d love to see the audios for walks and runs to be a bit longer. The longest run audio I see is 20 minutes, when recommended cardio workout lengths realistically should be at least 30 minutes. I’d really like to have an audio similar to the bedtime audios that are lengthy, have soothing talk, and tips to reduce anxiety made to be listened while walking. And if there could be a variety to choose from. Overall this would be the only change I can think of. An hour long walk audio to help calm my mind. 😁❤️

3. 5/5I never really knew how to meditate ‼️

   My son bought me Headspace for my birthday 🥳 last year after I had talked with him about a perceived crisis I was having. My son is 38, I am 68 and we are very close. He said “do you meditate?” I thought then said “well no I wouldn’t know where to start.” When my birthday rolled around he told me he purchased a year of Headspace so I could learn to meditate. That is the most thoughtful gift 🎁 I have ever received. I was feeling like I was having a meltdown starting on the inside, so I started the impermanence process. My day starts better with the little bit of time I devote to myself. There are many issues I am working on and the more I examine the list in Headspace I see they have a session for each issue. I am certainly on a journey that is aiding me with the tools and skills to manage issues better. I use to have a difficult time getting to sleep and now I put on Rainday Antiques to help me sleep and I have yet to hear it to the end... I am sleeping very well. With the discipline of having the breathing to center me and give me a moment or two to get a perspective rather than react I feel much more in control. I am so not there yet (where ever there is 😂) and I feel that Headspace will always have a session for me on this wonderful journey my son gifted me. After a bit of Headspace I feel able to meet my day with the idea every day is a journey of something different and exciting to explore. I thank Headspace for being a wonderful part of my life’s journey.

4. 5/5Pretty much how I sleep

   This is an incredible app. It provides everything you would ever need to do literally anything. Just for sleep alone, there are meditations, soundscapes, music, radio and so much more (my personal favorite are the sleepcasts). There are entire sections devoted to just about everything. The only problem is that it can get a bit overwhelming. A lot of the existing sections don’t have much to do with mindfulness. Now that being said, most of the ones that don’t are still great. Since I intend to be an author one day, the sleepcasts provide a soothing way to ease myself into sleep while also telling great stories in imaginative settings. This app really deserves more like 4 and a 1/2 stars, but, as that is not an option, it will be getting 5 stars instead (4.5 rounds to 5). I would have a much harder time sleeping without this app and I don’t necessarily believe that anything has to be removed. I just think that it would be nice if it was a bit more organized. I only have one final criticism. Once upon a time, many years ago, there was a button that played a random sleepcast. Since I am incredibly lazy, I would very much like it if this was reinstated. It’s fine if it isn’t, but since I can already see how that would be coded, I don’t think that it’s (programming wise) much of a challenge for the incredible designers working at Headspace. I know that it may sound like I’m throwing a lot of criticism out there, but I do truly love the app and these are just some of my suggestions for how it could be improved.

5. 5/5More than an app

   I tried the 14 day free subscription and truly enjoyed it. I ended up purchasing the app because overtime I've noticed how it has enhanced my everyday living and honestly made life a little bit easier. The things that would stress me out no longer stressed me out as much because I was able to control my mind due to the breathing techniques. In my abnormal psychology class, we learned that anxiety appears in various conditions and looks different for everyone. Anxiety as an emotion can have three different components: physical response, cognitive symptoms and avoidance or escape. For me, I find myself most anxious at night worried about the future and the safety of myself and loved ones. So at night I would refer to the app the most and try what helped me the most… which would be the breathing techniques. In class we tried breathing techniques as well but the difference is being at home is much more relaxing than being in a class with 20+ students. We learned that breathing exercises increases oxygen, which slows down your heart rate and reduces your blood pressure. Not to mention that once an abundance of oxygen is exposed in your body, it will eventually reach your brain and nervous system. The anxiousness in one’s body is then replaces with a plethora of calmness. This app is really great for anyone who would like to reach a sense of mindfulness through a variety of breathing techniques, sleepcasts, meditation. The app offers way more than what I listed but those were the most helpful for me.
