Headspace: Sleep & Meditation for iPhone

Invasive app! When you decide you longer want the app it will reinstall itself every time you delete it. Bordering on malware!

If you delete it it just comes right back

I was a long time subscriber of this app. Then I was logged out and tried to read the privacy policy to login. I’m a lawyer and I can’t make sense of it. Zero credibility. No professional ethics. No privacy. This app PROMOTES anxiety and mental health disorders. You ARE THE PROBLEM. If you can’t explain in 30 seconds why I should trust you, you should not be in business. It’s that simple.

I’ve been having a lot of anxiety recently and felt a guided meditation might be helpful. I download the app and am poking around, oops that meditation is behind a paywall, oh that one is too, wait literally every single thing in the app requires a subscription. Like hello? Why make the app free to download if I can’t use literally a single thing on it without paying?

I do not want this app. It keeps downloading on its own.

This app keeps downloading itself to my phone without my permission. Very weird and annoying.

There is something going on with a lot of Apple device users lately where this app is auto installing onto our devices unprompted. Even after removing it from a backup, uninstalling it, or in my case, haven’t used this app in years, it will randomly appear back on my phone. PLEASE look into this with Apple, devs. This is ridiculous and a bad look for your app.

I’ve tried several meditation apps and recently returned to Headspace as it has been the best one I’ve used. But, please, just be a meditation app. Stop pushing therapy and AI-assisted Ebb. Your competitive edge is your meditation instructors. Stop trying to be everything to everyone and focus on what you excel at, which is human-led meditation and content.

Every time I uninstall this, it reinstalls by the time I go on my phone again.

I hate that I have to keep the window open on my phone for the app to keep working.
