“Red flag! VERY difficult to cancel free trial! — I have been trying to cancel my free trial of Calm for three days now. They do not have an easy cancel button within the app, you have to do it through a web browser. I can’t remember my password because I set this account up in the middle of the night when I couldn’t sleep and signed up for this free trial out of desperation. I have tried to reset”Calm · 1star · Aug 19, 2026

“Company refused to take off racist author on platform — I was enjoying insight timer very much and was listening to their sleep stories. I browsing through them one day and saw one of the sleep stories was by a racist named Rudyard Kipling who authored, “The White Mans’ Burden”. The book basically instructs White men how it is their duty to continue with racism and called people of color “half dev”Insight Timer: Meditate, Sleep · 2star · Aug 16, 2026

“Cluttered — I use to love this app. It was streamlined and easy to use. Now it’s cluttered with all kinds of roadblocks to getting started with questionnaires and dogma. It’s a huge turn off and I’m looking for a different app to use now. I’ve been on this app since 2014 and have seen it go downhill fast in the last few years.”Insight Timer: Meditate, Sleep · 1star · Aug 8, 2026

“Frustrating user interface — I don’t like the interface of this app. It’s always advertising or asking me to send to a friend. I paid. I just want access to the content in a user friend way to access the sessions I want. I don’t want to go back each time and get the ads, shares with someone etc. Lots of room for improvement”Calm · 3star · Jul 26, 2026

“Lots of room for improvement — I’ve been a paid subscriber for several years and this is my take. The app offers plenty of meditation options. It also has a lot of material that is more directed towards therapy instead of actual meditation. The way that everything is laid out can be confusing and difficult to navigate resulting in time wasted. When they change their format they don’t notify you so”Insight Timer: Meditate, Sleep · 3star · Jul 22, 2026

“False advertising and charging without notice — Terrible experience, during the sign up process, on multiple pages was it listed that a free 14 day trial was available, even once I signed into an old account from years ago it still told me a free trial was available. Once I entered my payment information they pulled a bait and switch, deciding that I wasn’t eligible for a free trial, and that they”Headspace: Sleep & Meditation · 1star · Aug 16, 2026

“Scam — I was trying to watch a course which it wanted me to pay for. I checked out just to go back to the app to have the course completely disappear. No amount of searching would bring it up. If you’re going to buy a course, you should actually be able to watch it insight of being asking to go through an entire series of questions that are irrelevant to the course itself.”Insight Timer: Meditate, Sleep · 2star · Jun 28, 2026

“Way too easy to lose a streak — I was tapping to get into the actual app interface since it shows a quote in the splash screen, and it bypassed the ability to repair my streak and I lost my 200 day streak. So disappointing. Make it so that people have to tap an X to close the repair streak screen. I’m so upset that I spent 200 days building up this streak only for it to be lost because I tapped on”Insight Timer: Meditate, Sleep · 1star · Jun 25, 2026

“Nothing is free — I realize you’re operating a business… but c’mon. There ain’t even a calming ocean sound included as a teaser. Cheapskate much? Everything is locked upon downloading. Your responses to reviews that “Money shouldn’t keep you from meditating” means that you’re not even listening to your potential base. Ya gotta offer a “little” something to get “alotta” something, know what I’m say”Waking Up: Meditation & Wisdom · 1star · Jun 19, 2026

“No free options — This might as well be a paid app. Don’t even bother making an account, the entire app is paywalled - front to back. Deleted my account and the app”Calm · 1star · Aug 16, 2026

“Anxiety-inducing — The layout is confusing and VERY busy. The opposite of “calm.” There are so many pop-ups, and almost everything is hidden behind a paywall. I downloaded the app to help diminish stress, but it only made it worse. Just download Headspace.”Calm · 1star · Jul 4, 2026

“Forces you to subscribe — If you don’t save items to your favorites in the first few days, you won’t be able to access them once your free days end. Now, they’ve limited the number of free items and the number of times you can listen to them too, so you’re forced to pay.”Calm · 1star · Jul 4, 2026
