NOAtrocious cancellation policies. 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.

GBExecrable customer service Whilst the product is good, the billing and in particular the customer service is beyond awful. I raised a query about my membership over three weeks ago and despite a couple of emails telling me there is a backlog and I would have my issue sorted within 3 days etc, still I am waiting. Truly dreadful.

GBWhen I first used this back years ago… 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

GBGreat app, seemingly untrustworthy company I really like the app but in signing up for a 'free' trial it just billed me a year's subscription immediately, which has really eroded my trust in the company. I recommend you try a friend's version because there is no free trial, you will just be billed immediately. It's a shame because that's not the stress you are looking for in a meditation app! The irony is that I probably would have paid after the trial ended but now I think I will do some research on more ethical companies I can trust my money with.

DEI regret my free trial. I wasn't conviced by what the subscription offeres so I wanted to end my free trial. But the app had an issue, so I just deleted the app thinking that was that. Instead, they billed me the annual price. I kindly requested a refund, but they said no. There are a bunch of people this happened to on reddit and other forums. It's super unethical for a company making it's money with meditation and mental wellness.
