Headspace is a great app, but needs two adjustments.
Headspace is a great app, with two problems. It needs to include a time and date of the last session. Sometimes, I want to see how frequently throughout the day I stopped to meditate. It also needs a feature that prevents it from stopping the clock if an incoming call rings.

Please archive the daily messages and messages at the end of each meditation.
I really enjoy using headspace. I've found it immensely helpful in training myself to quiet the mind. I would like to see the quotes at the end of each meditation as well as the daily messages archived so that I can reread and review them again later.

Ideal tool to help you start a meditation habit
Headspace is great in explaining how to meditate, the animated movies are better than anything I have ever seen or heard. It helps you understand meditation and get started.
Some experienced people don't like guided meditation and so this program is good for them too as there is a choice of reducing the commentary. I like guided meditation, it inspires me and takes me to new levels but I find the guided meditation Headspace offers is really for beginners, that's why I am not using it any longer. I wish Andy would also do guided meditation on a more advanced level (e.g. charkra mediation)

Hi Karin,
Thank you kindly for your feedback. It's awesome to hear that the Headspace animations and overall approach have been quite effective for you. We are always looking to add more content so we appreciate the suggestions. If you haven't already done the Headspace Pro Series, we would recommend continuing with the Guided Single. Otherwise, all of our sessions allow you to change the duration of the Session.
If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to reach out at [email protected].
Best,
Headspace

Great but expensive.
Great but expensive.
Headspace is awesome! But it's really expensive. It actually kind of gets in my head a little bit sometimes... like what I'm paying to listen to recordings of Andy. I remember reading before "he's a very greedy monk," which I can't get out of my head.
The content is awesome, the message is awesome, but I just wish there a non-subscription cost structure (I think there used to be), or some way of deducting an "unlimited" plan by the amount already paid in subscription costs.

Hi There,
Thank you for your feedback. The overall mission of Headspace is to improve the health and happiness of the world.
Unfortunately, if we don't have a healthy business there is no way we can fulfill this mission. Headspace, like many businesses, has a significant amount of running costs in order for us to produce the web services, apps and many other products that we offer. We employ people in the US and the UK and they include animators, illustrators, project managers, finance controllers, customer experience representatives, a full internal engineering team as well as marketing and community managers to make sure the message gets to the right people. This doesn't include all the 3rd party suppliers that help us create all the content. We employ over 180 people and we have produced over 1000s hours of audio and video content for the Headspace Journey. Not to mention all the scientists that we work with to help us prove the validity of our products. All of these people have families, mortgages, rent and food to buy in order to live a healthy and happy life. We feel very proud that we can play a part in helping them live the life that allows them to be healthy and happy.
We feel very comfortable with the fact that we charge for our product so we can continue to run a sustainable operation and we feel even more confident of our products' value.
We are continually looking for ways to make Headspace more accessible to our users. We sincerely appreciate you emailing us with your thoughts! I will be sure your suggestion gets heard by the right ears.
Thanks again and happy meditating,
Headspace

too many long periods of silence

Response from headspaceOct 16, 2017
Hi Martin,
Thanks very much for your note. If you didn't know so already, you can adjust the session lengths to your comfortability. The longer the session, the less guided it will be. Most people says that at first it feels more difficult to sit for a longer duration, but after a few days of adjusting, they can't imagine sitting for less. It's useful to remember that both the body and mind will adapt very quickly.
The one thing that changes as you sit for a longer period of time is the amount of clarity you may achieve. The reason for this is that it doesn't take very long for the mind to settle down, and only then do we see the mind clearly. In some cases, this can feel a bit like a magnifying glass or microscope slowly coming into focus, all of its own accord.
Ultimately though, quality is more important than quantity. Even one single moment of awareness is valuable. So choose a duration that works for you, build up slowly without putting any unnecessary pressure on yourself and try to tease it up over time.
If you have any further questions about your practice, please don't hesitate to reach out to [email protected].
Best wishes,
Headspace

Nearly perfect app
Nearly perfect app. But I wish I could read that quote after each meditation. Because almost every time app says that there's no connection. Why can't I just read that damn quote instead of a "can't connect to network" screen? Please fix that guys. Despite this tiny error, meditation is very cool. I got so much more willpower, energy, focus, awareness I feel like a superhero. Every day is like so much more productuvie. 15 minutes of meditation and you get 24 hours of status upgrades: improved sight-reading, relative pitch, ear, taste, body and smell senses. Would give 5/5 if they fix those quotes for offline reading!

I just love my Headspace time
I just love my Headspace time. I look forward to hearing Andy's voice, so gently soothing, directing me calmly and precisely.
My only quibble is that being a senior! I do need to go back and review some lessons from time to time. Perhaps I'm missing a step that I'm not aware of to enable me to revisit a particular lesson.

I try to do it every day
I try to do it every day. It has really helped me with reducing stress and I have slept better since starting with Headspace earlier this year. I would definitely recommend it. I am new to meditation and it is easy for a beginner to follow and there are many different topics you can explore.
