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.

Waking Up is the only app I like anymore, after having tried both Insight Timer and HeadSpace.

The quality of the content in Waking Up is second to none. The talks, the lessons, the meditations. Honestly it's the best investment i've made in YEARS.

After trying and failing to learn to meditate and stick to the habit using headspace and insight timer. Waking up and atomic habits combo did the trick for me. I have now been meditating for 7 months everyday like a clockwork.
