Headspace: Sleep & Meditation

🥲 The price of the annual subscription is around 20% of an average monthly salary in Ukraine, where you do not offer any localisation for your pricing. During the war, people need more accessible tools and services to support their mental health. And the generous student are only available to students from a few economically developed countries: US, UK, Canada, Australia, France, and Germany. 🔍 I did some research on mental health and wellbeing applications. It appears that BetterMe offers an annual subscription for just a symbolic $0.29 and has developed a library of content available in Ukrainian. Stoic charges $1 annually, and the Feeling Good app (now Sorted) is completely free of charge and has also made efforts to provide accessible content in Ukrainian. Headspace, on the other hand, not only ignores this issue but also does not provide a single piece of content without an expensive subscription plan. 🤑 It is bizarre to think that Headspace was founded by a former Buddhist monk, considering how greedy the company appears, even to nations in need of mental support during such difficult times. Perhaps the word "former" is there for a reason. 🫠 In any case, I also found the huge library of somewhat disorganised content with not the most optimal UX/UI design solutions quite overwhelming, so if you’re reading this and looking for a good meditations app, definitely check out a few other options.

Please, add Ukrainian language. For our country it would be one of the most useful app after air alert app 🙏

Please add the abolity to control sleepcasts! It is very uncomfortable that you cannot scroll to specific minute.

I decided to give a try though I had a promo-code which provides a 60-days trial. On app they asked me to write my credit card number even if I use the promo-code given. So I did. After a day I made an assumption that it isn’t for me and inactivated my plan immediately. However, the payment has charged in about 60 days! I wrote to a client service manager a few times and I still have no answer according to my topic.

Мені допомагає заспокоїтись, впоратись із роздратуванням і тривожністю. Рекомендую всім друзям навіть тим, хто ще ніколи не пробував медитувати. Дякую розробникам за їхню роботу! Рекомендував би і своїм батькам, якби була опція з українською озвучкою

I really love this app, the flow, the vibe and idea, its amazing. But today i wanted to try it for free 14 days (it was said on the screen charge after 14 days) and it charged me immediately with all annual fee. I was shocked, because i rechecked what does it say on the screen and chose the 14d free trial

When will you have this app in Ukraine language? It’ll be really useful for a lot of people)

I wanted to try headspace to get more calm but misclicked and bought by mistake annual subscription, they rejected to Make the refund. Nice job guys. Jobs has been done. You didn’t make me calm, only stress.

I used to love your app and Andy’s teaching way back before you grew into this huge company. It was precious to me: clean and breathing design, awesome structures of courses and sessions. Nothing could be better. Now when you grew so big why do you require payment for all your sessions? Why not to make at least daily meditations / some courses free? I disrespect you at this point now, because see no other argument for that but the greed.

Can’t download meditations to phone, useless and very long answers from tech service
