The app was highly customisable and interesting with the interactiveness in place for the users and still having a calming contrast on the layout which did make me feel calmer with such colour schemes. I really liked the modern design of the app and the tracking that comes along with it.

Headspace
Free. Offers In-App Purchases.
Young adult feedback
Highly certified app with very entertaining components relatable across multiple types of populations such as students and children. Although it is high quality with information and interactiveness, I would not necessarily pay for the app and in some cases I feel if students or children were to use the app without their parent's knowing for personal uses it may be difficult for them to want to pay for some of the most beneficial features which are not for free.
Expert feedback
This Headspace app makes meditation simple! This app uses the principles of mindfulness meditation to help improve focus, mood and sleep while working to reduce anxiety and stress. The free version allows users to 10-session trial before needing to subscribe to have access to a wider variety of sessions and programs. The downfall is that the subscription can be expensive.

Expert feedback
This app sets out to help users find phone/life balance by monitoring and tracking phone usage. It has a clean and simple design and while not designed to be engaging, it may help curve phone usage by using reminders and highlighting patterns of use.
