Lack of shuffle feature in meditation app
💚 healthproduct problem8 reports ●●●●●
A Headspace user reports feeling overwhelmed by the volume of content and experiences decision fatigue because the app lacks a shuffle feature or a daily routine to automatically select sessions.
What people do today
- Manually selecting sessions
- Switching to a different meditation app
🔧 Fix this
Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:
- A 'Shuffle' button that randomly selects a meditation session based on user-defined duration preferences.
- A 'Daily Routine' feature that automatically queues a new, curated meditation session each day.
- A 'Surprise Me' widget for the app home screen that launches a random session with one tap.
- A personalized content recommendation engine that tracks session history to hide previously completed meditations
- A community-driven feature where users can request specific themes for new meditation content
Real voices
“A feature that randomly selects a session would reduce decision fatigue.”
“it feels like there is no new meditation content and the daily meditations are just repeating now”
“I wish the sleep casts had a way to pick the wind down exercises. Currently there is no way to consistently get the same one”
“Very hard to find specific meditations. Can’t go back to find older meditations.”
“If you search sleep meditation there’s only one over 20 minutes. In general they a plethora of short meditations. Lacking longer meditations.”
“it is not a good directory of EMDR inspired bilateral stimulation and they also don’t give you any descriptors of how their minimal selections differ”
“Why does a person need to introduce themselves like I’m going to remember or I care”
“Every meditation is the same except the speech in the beginning”
