Headspace

Has anyone tried the Headspace app? What has been your experience with it, do you find it helps?

I've given the trial a go, but having had no prior experience with meditation I found it quite difficult to focus. I also find it quite expensive to unlock the "full" version, and the naggy notifications telling you that it's been a while since you last used the app can be quite annoying (yes, I know you can turn them off).

There's currently an offer on annual subscriptions if anyone fancies giving it a try, 40% off (was £49.99, now £29.99).
 
I have not tried the app but have heard good things. I just use free meditations I get from Spotify. Is headspace just recorded meditations or are there other features as well?
