  • MrFizz on 22/05/2020 - 11:09

    Anyone have any idea how to do this? I am trying with a VPN but doesn't seem to work. In saying that, I am a complete noob with something like this…

    • GG57 on 22/05/2020 - 11:16

      If you aren't in LA County, it probably isn't available to you

    • CC123 on 22/05/2020 - 11:19

      The same way people get cheaper fuel via the 7/11 app - spoof your location on your phone

      • MrFizz on 22/05/2020 - 11:21

        How do you do that CC123?

        • CC123 on 22/05/2020 - 11:31

            @NerdYoda: I used firefox, in my system preferences go to 'Security & Privacy' click location services, enable location services with firefox. Also test your vpn location to make sure its actually in LA.

      • swalloweda on 22/05/2020 - 12:03

        Did the same on Mac. Couldn't confirm my location in Chrome (even though I clicked allow), and on Safari I wasn't seen to be in LA County. Worked in Opera!

        Nox is one way. The use of 3rd party software is another (generally paid)
        This might work. Not sure

        • Taegukgi on 22/05/2020 - 11:43

          I confirm Nox works. I tested this a couple of weeks ago and it worked.

    I have signed up with this on Android.
    Downloaded and isntalled "Fake GPS", set the location to LA and then followed the links and verification email.
    After going to https://checkout.headspace.com/subscription/manage I can confirm I now have an active subscription.

    • Menzoberranzan on 22/05/2020 - 13:48

      I did the same. Towards the end of registration I got an error message saying they detected I was not in LA despite using Fake GPS. However when I check the link you mentioned it shows me with a B2B Subscription till Dec 31st 2020 so SUCCESS

  • Kokobean02 on 22/05/2020 - 11:48

    I want this app but not sure I can be bothered doing what I need to do to ‘spoof’ my location.

    No VPN required.

    Go to Developer tools if you're using a browser.

    • kuruptz on 22/05/2020 - 13:14

      What do I do once Developer Tools is open? It's just showing me all the HTML code etc.
      EDIT: Using Google Chrome on a Windows PC.

      • alvchan on 22/05/2020 - 13:26

        1. Click the 3 dots top right of the developer tools screen, then go down to 'more tools. Click 'Sensors'
        2. Under Geolocation, click drop down and select 'other'
        3. Then put in LA's coordinates, 34.0522 latitude, -118,2437 longitude

        Worked for me

          Thanks mate, appreciate it. I'd just figured it out and was about to post the instructions for everyone.

          -Go to https://ctrlq.org/maps/address/ and search an LA address
          -Drag the red icon anywhere, and the Lat and Long will appear in the box above it.
          -Open Google Chrome on your device.
          -Press Alt + Shift + I to access Developer Tools or click the 3 dots on upper right of browser
          -Select the three-dot menu icon in the top right of the pane developer tools.
          -Scroll to “More Tools” and select “Sensors.”
          -Change Geolocation to “Custom location…”
          -Add the Lat and Long coordinates you copied earlier into the boxes underneath Geolocation.
          -Reload the web page.

        • io on 22/05/2020 - 13:59

          Thank you, I was having trouble with LA coordinates. Worked successfully using Chrome desktop. Very easy using Chrome desktop but have done it first time. you have to set LA location before hitting the "share my location"

    I find it interesting how much effort people are going through to get this free app, which is usually understandable, but in this case the app has been made freely available to residents of LA County, to assist those people affected by COVID-19.
    I wonder if, it were locally available but restricted to, say, health-care workers or similar, would we be going through all these steps to (what is effectively) scam the freebie?

    • kuruptz on 22/05/2020 - 13:55

      If you're unemployed they offer it free too and conveniently we are all unemployed right….RIGHT?

      For apple, they had yearly subscriptions for $12.99. you had to go to the subscriptions and select it from the list. Not sure if it's still available to choose. Same things for memrise ($25 or $26 yearly though)

  • BarginLord on 22/05/2020 - 14:26

    For anyone using Chrome on computer.

    If you have already gotten the message. 'You are not located in Los Angeles….' Go to Settings(3 dots on the top right corner of your browser) -> privacy and security -> Site Setting -> Location -> remove headspace from the list.

    Bring up the Chrome Developer Tools by pressing the Cmd+Option+I keys on Mac, or Ctrl+Shift+I on Windows.

    Click on the Kebab Menu (three vertical dots) on the top right corner of the Developer Tools window (Not the Browser menu).

    Select More Tools >> Sensors to open a new Sensors tab in the Console window. Change geolocation to custom

    Enter in Latitude: 33.952682 Longitude:-118.190975

    On the same tab where you did all the settings above load up the site https://work.headspace.com/lacdmhresidents/member-enroll and allow it to use location.

    how does it compare to Calm?

    • GG57 on 22/05/2020 - 14:38

      I can't compare the products, but the Calm deal was sponsored by Kleenex (so the app provider received some income) and freely available locally.
      That is a positive in my view.

      • yoquierotaco on 22/05/2020 - 20:39

        calm and headspace are different, headspace is all purely guided meditations. It's more the traditional meditations that you think of and they are all different lengths. Calm has less guided meditations and includes other things like relaxing soundscapes and bedtime stories.

    Despite of VPN, there’s aren’t any chances of mobile to work as there’s still GPS location of the phone pinging.

      Headspace has more meditations but no equivalent of the daily calm feature, and way less of the sleep stuff i.e soundscapes, music and sleep stories.

      There is less diversity of narrators on Headspace and it's English accents whereas Calm is American.

    Works if you do everything via computer rather than iPhone. Set vpn to LA and log in/sign up on your computer. Accept email verification on your computer as well. Then refresh the app on your phone and boom, premium membership :)
