An editorial reading of the saved reviews
Andy Puddicombe's foundation and the classic courses are still strong, but the product has been overtaken by a corporate agenda: the Ebb AI bot instead of live sessions, endless therapy popups, and a chaotic revamped interface. Longtime users are leaving in numbers.

I see Headspace is again trying to roll out the new homepage. I was extremely anxious, came to meditate, and when I found this roll out, AGAIN, I felt even *more* unsafe than the last time they tried this.
i've had headspace for over a decade. for the first 3-4 years, I loved it. this app's approach toward meditation and wellness has noticeably shifted since its inception though. When I started, it was Andy Puddicombe doing all of the meditations.
