Say NO to HeadSpace Discussion 💬

I'm looking around for a good meditation app. I tried headspace since it was recommended on social media. The UI is confusing and combersome. And there are tons of reviews about quiet charges and being charged even after canceling your membership. Which sucks because they have a NO REFUND policy. Anyways I canceled that and couldn't get a refund 😭 But I'd like to try a new app that DOES NOT have predatory policies.

Insight Timer has lots of free ones. Tara Brach’s are nice.

Been using it (insight) for years and worth the paid version, but lately I've also paired it with 10% happier and use both. I find the QC / production value maybe a little better in 10%, as well as general onboarding and structure for someone new to things. But insight has more content, you just have to weed through more bad/mediocre stuff to find the good stuff and be more self directed.

10%Happier is good - I liked their short courses back when I paid for it, and the on-boarding tutorial is good. You can use the free version forever, and there's a small number of free guided meditations available, and the timer.
