Headway - Daily Micro Learning Positive Reviews

I’m not a big reader !I enjoy learning new things (mainly mechanical things) as much as I possibly can. But I also would like to absorb just as much as much knowledge in the areas of finance, personal growth, and health, but many if not all that info is locked away between two rectangle shaped pieces of hard cardboard wrapped in Vinyl or leather protecting many sheets of paper covered in black letters almost leaving no space to notice that the paper was once a white blank sheet. I’m not one to like having or hearing excuses, but having been diagnosed with ADHD later in my years, I always though day dreaming and reading went together, or trying to read focusing on what I read repeating the words to myself in my head would help me remember the text that I honestly wanted to remember. But just as I would repeat it to myself and finishing the chapter, I would remember bits a pieces and just like that all was forgotten. And not wanting to let people know, I would find ways to get others to explain their thoughts on the book and pretty much piece together a few people’s thoughts or take on said read, and come up with my own thoughts by taking things from each person’s rendering of the story to make my own. Since the first days of Audiobooks and realizing that’s how I can absorb the same things all the readers of the world are enjoying and learning about I was able to do the same and I never looked back. Headway has changed that with Audios for me because the areas I am eagerly looking for growth In they have summarized the books with the important info and compressed it into a short/summary allowing me to get the information I need in a timely manner allowing for multiple sources of info at a higher rate. It’s been awesome. A big thank you to the Headway Team..17322corrobVersion: 270.1

It’s basically perfect, However there is still room improvement for this app to become successfulThe fact, that you can listen to book summary for free before you have to spend money on a subscription that costs $15 per month is ridiculous how pricy it is just to listen to summaries when there is Apple Podcasts that allow you to listen for free, this is just way to get people to spend $15 per month just to listen to book summaries that should actually be for free like Apple Podcasts are free why can’t book summaries be free, this isn’t fair to anyone who enjoys to hear book summaries and yes it can prevent scrolling but the pricing being offered right away it’s unfair, However the pricing that it puts pressure onto the people who want to listen book summaries to pay right away just to continue listening to more than one is absolutely ridiculous. Please make this app free, podcasts should be meant for people to enjoy to be entertained not to just be forced to pay money. This is also just my opinion/perspective for someone who likes listening to book summaries/likes summaries. Please do consider making this app for free with no subscription just for people to enjoy, maybe just offer app-purchases of newly released book summaries that are like $5-$10, thank you for reading this review I hope you consider making these improvement to make this app become more of a success.LunaStar102Version: 321.6

Nerdy black girls unite!!This app has changed my life tremendously. Most of my screen-time on my phone is from this app. I have told all my friends about it. I read more than 93% of Headway readers w/ a goal of 38min/day, but i find myself listening to Headway w a headphone in while I’m cooking, doing laundry, cleaning, during flights and on long walks too. I have the motivational “quote of the day” widget on the home page of my phone that is the first thing i see on my phone and really sets my intention for that day! Next, I want to start taking notes on the books i am reading ! I find myself reading a lot of the books twice to pick up anything i missed or ingrain it into my mind with spaced repetition. I also find doing anything else on my phone like watching silly vids so boring compared to learning something new on here! I find myself being an overall better person. You are making our lives a lot better in these overstimulating times :)!! My favorite topics are technology, psychology, and self-improvement. I am an extremely autodidactic person so this to me is the equivalent of somebody getting their masters, except I prefer having a wide-range of knowledge. Thanks again!!.LololawllVersion: 173.3

Just One (Important) Critique!Let me open by saying that in just a few days of downloading and using this app, I am recommitted to my own success! I have recommended it to three of my closest friends and my sister already, too - specifically people I know who value and prioritize their own skills and brands, and whom I believe can build their own businesses with just a little more direction. To make the most of this app, one definitely has to be able to make start commitments and build on that foundation (because that’s the key to realized success in any field). I am so very grateful to the folks at Headway who have made these books and knowledge so accessible to me today! One very important note that I have for you is to PLEASE INVEST in better, more real-sounding, and genuine voices for listening! I prefer to listen while I’m eating or doing other tasks, but the voice used sounds exactly like that guy from Bob’s Burgers who voices the Pick-up Artist character and it makes me cringe. I can overlook this aspect only because I am so eager for the knowledge and information being relayed but some of your consumers may not feel the same. This voice can make one feel like they’re being pandered to at worst, and at best it’s distracting from the content..Allie💀GatorVersion: 230.7

Start making headwayI've been using the Headway app for about a month now, and I'm really impressed with it. It's a great way to learn new things and improve your skills. The app is really easy to use. You can choose from a variety of topics, and each topic has a series of lessons. The lessons are short and easy to understand, and they're broken down into small steps. This makes it easy to learn new things without feeling overwhelmed. I also like that the app tracks your progress. You can see how far you've come and how much you've learned. This is really motivating, and it helps you stay on track. Overall, I'm really happy with the Headway app. It's a great way to learn new things and improve your skills. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about a variety of topics. Here are some specific things I like about the Headway app: The app is easy to use and navigate. The lessons are short and easy to understand. The app tracks your progress, which is motivating. The app offers a variety of topics to choose from. The app is affordable. If you're looking for a way to learn new things and improve your skills, I highly recommend the Headway app..BibilarkylarkVersion: 227.7

Covers a lot in a short timeI paid for Headway some time ago but never got around to really check it out. I am a good listener, but when it comes to reading a book, I get distracted, I stop and lose my way in the book until I eventually lose the whole essence of the story. One morning while being alone with my thoughts, I decided to catch up on my literature, so I browsed their library until I found an interesting topic to read. Found out, I could actually just listened. I decided to listen, Wow! The book was so precise, exciting, informative and quick about 15mins. I was truly amazed as to how they summarized the book with all the important points, I received the whole message right away. At the end of the book they even had pointers to remember, so you can further meditate on essence of what you just read or listened. I loved it, I read three books just before I write this review, I think I am about to listen another after writing this review, it is that good. If you have an interest in reading and learning new things or you just like to listen like myself you need to have this app. You will not regret it. Thanks Headway for create this wonderful app..Harvel876Version: 169.6

Headway is a stepping stoneI always wanted to build a habit of reading books. However, I always procrastinated on buying books and reading them. Thanks to Instagram ads, I got to know about headway. I bought the lifetime subscription and I’m loving it. It’s totally worth it. I’ve been able to learn a lot of things that I would otherwise not learn in my life. For example, today, I just learned how to deal with procrastination through the book about procrastination in the app. Also, I am inspired in taking action through the book I listened yesterday called, stealing like an artist. There are tons of books that I always wanted to read, and now I have access to all of them through Headway. Also one more need to mention is headway helps. To find where our personality lies, and helps build our personality from there. For example, I lack confidence on going to public gathering. Headway suggested me book called how to talk to anyone. Now I have more confidence and I know the techniques of how to approach people. Thanks to headway that I didn’t have the entire book to learn that. I learned it in 20 minutes. The headway subscription is totally worth it..Soom.kmrVersion: 232.18

Quick little boosts of positive infoI’ve been enjoying these quick 10 minutes (or so) amounts of time throughout my day when I’m feeling like I can use some positive uplifting help. Everyone can use positive feedback throughout the day that can help guide you in the right direction, or help to get you through a tough situation that you know is going to be happening. Or maybe you just want to explore some healthy factual readings that are available on the Headway app. Maybe you can even pass the information onto to someone else who can benefit from some positive words of encouragement or who wants to learn about something to better their life the way we’ve been bettering our lives. Because that is what will happen if you take the time to explore this app. There’s only one way to go and that’s in a positive direction because there is so much to be learned on here. I’m relatively new to this app and have a long way to go but I’m definitely looking forward to seeing where all this great information will lead me in my near future. I hope you take the time to explore things on Headway, you’ll be happy you did..Tita TeresitaVersion: 219.7

HeadwayI would way rather do this than scroll on Facebook or whatever else… you actually learn something every time… honestly I’m grateful for this app because it was not that expensive and if you get the year subscription it’s worth it.. image all the things we can learn.. ADHD or whatever you wanna call it..cripples me when it comes to books.. I can actually focus on this only pausing like once or twice… so thank you.. this is the stuff I’ve been looking for..it made me want to get up and organize.. which if you know how the freeze mode is.. where you get too overwhelmed… Dident happen.. got up cleaned the whole room.. then listened to another one.. and I did my journal…. After almost a month of procrastination…and exhaustion.. got the book out and wrote for like 15 mins… gotta give a try if you struggle reading whole books, or just need to get some advice on life lol… my mental health is better in one day lol kinda opens your eyes..you can even cancel before it charges you… endless scrolling… randomly opening social media apps out of habit.. no more.. such a waste of time.. glad I found this...Fran554Version: 255.6

Fantastic concept with room to growI listen to a lot of audio/audible books in various for of strategic self and business development. The problem I have is that sometimes books drag on. What could be said in a half a book can be condensed to a chapter. I love that this app provides a way for me to listen to the main idea(summary) of the book in a condensed manner. If the summary doesn’t feel like enough, or if I just really want to hear more about it, then I know it’s worth getting the full book on Audible or possibly hard book. I rated 4 instead of 5 stars because not all the books are read by a person. Instead, it’s a robotic like voice that’s an absolute pain to digest. I find myself distracted from the books content because the delivery of the message is just botched. I read from other reviews that they are working on changing them all over so I think with time, this app will get better and better. I’m more than satisfied with the year price I paid and plan on using it often. I hope that in the meantime while they work on getting these robotic voices replaced, they provide a filter for their selection so I can exclude those from playlists..SamchamplooVersion: 144.1

This is a great way to get knowledge from books if u dont have time to readI think this is a great app I posted about it on my face book heres a copy of that post i believe this app could change a lot of peoples lives, so if you struggle with reading books, don't have the time to read whole books, or are trying to findout if you would like a book. This app puts key concepts, major points and summaries into a 15 minute read with the option to read or listen to an audio book. The app focuses on helping u set goals towards reading books that are about bettering yourself with topics anywhere from self help, and spirituality to Business help and productivity help as well as many more topics. i just got it, and it is probably the smartest decision I have made in a minute. im willing to bet this app will be a big contributing factor to my success, so i thought i would share this app with as many people as possible. i will say its a 12 dollar a month subscription but that money spent is well worth it if u get improve yourself at least in my eyes... so anyway the link is in the comments.SeekerofthedivineomniscienceVersion: 249.1

MotivatingThis app has helped me improve myself in so many ways. I was at a point in my life where I had no motivation to do anything. It felt like with every day that passed, I was falling deeper and deeper into this very depressing dark hole. And no matter what I did or how hard I tried I couldn’t seem to even attempt to pull myself out. The worst part was I didn’t know what the cause of all these life destructing problems were. It showed me exactly what was causing all of this turmoil and why. And started helping me slowly recover from it. Now I am my old self again. So happy with my life and where things are going. I am no longer depressed or having negative thoughts constantly. I can’t even picture my life being the way it had got before. I still use this app for inspiration on a daily basis. And I plan to continue doing so bc the positivity doesn’t end, it keeps getting better with time! I’m so regretful that I didn’t try this sooner but I’m beyond proud and thankful now that I finally decided to make that step to helping myself for me and my family’s sake..Ashmesumn85Version: 294.2

Excellent quality summariesClear, concise, digestible book summaries that capture highlights of the greater book. Awesome app that is designed well and super easy to use. Like that there is new content or new recommended content daily. One suggestion I would offer is improved toggling between the rotation of books under the “Discover” heading. When you read the quote and click into the corresponding book and finish reading some or all of the book, you are not sent back to the Discover list where you left off. You have to click the list again and the books are randomly re-ordered every time, meaning I have to go through books already viewed. I’d like to be able to pick up where I left off in the Discover list and for the list to stay in the same order. Also recommend expanding the search features to pick up on key phrases in the books. Sometimes I want to look for a category of book that isn’t listed in the set category list. Also, please add more fiction books!.AstridR88Version: 204.3

Nice concept and need some improvements in app to perfectI like how this app gamifies reading and make reading more fun and enjoyable. This is a value add on top of the book summary which is what you’re really paying for. Not free and I think it’s worth it assuming there will be more books in the future. Having said that. The app still needs some work and refinement. 1) App crashes occasionally. 2) App doesn’t resume where you previously stopped. Having to start from the beginning of the chapter is quite annoying. 3) Listening stops at every chapter. The whole book is already short. I would like to listen the whole book in 15-20mins without keep hitting play again. The app doesn’t need to stop at the end of every chapter. 4) If you open or listen a few lines just for exploring, the book stays at the bottom of you Discovery tab. I’m nitpicking here but I really need a way to remove it. 5) In reading mode, the bottom of the page is cut off on 13 pro max screen. Some fine tuning on layout is needed. 6) App should allow user option to pick pay plan rather than defaulting to annual..Not happy user 12345Version: 175.3

LIFE CHANGINGI was referred to this app by my mentor and it is now my daily go too I never was a fan of reading long drawn out books because for some reason my brain wouldn’t retain the information after the first chapter I’ve read. To find an app that would summarize a books key points give key tips and read it aloud was like finding GOLD for me headway has drastically changed my life I was seeking to know a lot more than what I already knew clarity on this I was unsure of I sought to better myself and to find my purpose here in life and headway not only helped me with these answers I was seeking but they’ve helped me to be the better person I knew I could be. When I’m in distress I no longer feel the need to reach anywhere for anything else but to headway because 90% of the time there’s a book I can listen to that will speak directly to what I’m going through which sets me right back on track. I would recommend this app to the world if I could because of it s life changing effects Big Thanks to the developers!.NOVABABECRYSTALVersion: 150.3

Life’s important lessons and knowledge put simplyI have been in therapy almost my entire life from age 13…. I am 63. Though many therapists are “ good people “ with good intentions they’re not always the complete solution. I’ve only listened to two of these “ lessons” and already know I need to hear this and it’s done in such a way that I don’t lose interest. I get overwhelmed easily but this process makes points very directly and with kindness and what they’re saying is true… we grow up in a society that teaches us a value system and mostly that is their value system… we aren’t told we have choices. We aren’t encouraged to take risks. I was bullied, sexually abused, and fell into the hands of “ bad people “ and I’ve lived in fear ( deep down inside) for close to 40 years. I have had some successful experiences and have grown a bit but these little lessons are just what I needed to hear at this time in my life. I highly recommend reading these books. I’m going to continue till I’ve listened to them all!!.MSPLLPVersion: 228.4

Cool app to learn moreI got lured into Headway through a Pinterest ad. I liked how it quizzed me in the way I learn and different topics I’d like to explore. I didn’t like how immediately there was a paywall. But with enough clicking through the app you can find a generous annual discount. I figured I’d give it a shot. I’ve read 4 books so far. The summaries can be a bit too high level for me. I walk away from each book like, “Wow I should read the actual book!” It’s nice you can highlight bits to zero in on the essential details. If I’m paying, I’d like more customization to my reading experience. Pocket does this nicely and for free. Many ebook and text-to-speech apps do this well also! I only have light/dark mode, no option for fonts, or line spacing, or even voice options (which are all available on your phone by default). They need to boost this feature by a lot. Lastly, I took another quiz in the app and had to walk away from my phone. I come back and the quiz results are gone and I can’t find it again. I wish I could locate and save my results so i can read the recommended books on my time..Coltrane da catVersion: 274.2

Want meaningful and lasting change to a better life?Devoting as little as 15 minutes of your day to learning to know oneself, trying things differently, and applying tried and true concepts into your life will bring about a new and improved person that not only benefits you and everyone around you but the world as a whole. The rest of the day is as simple as implementing and refining your new ideas and knowledge. Easy right? Yes it is, as long as you’re serious about wanting real change, not quitting when things get challenging or don’t show instant results and you have a desire for tangible success. But only after striving to make your dreams become reality by putting in a little work. And the best part, Headway let’s you identify what areas you may need improvement in or what you yourself want to focus on and the giving you all the tools you need to make it happen in their clear, concise and informative material. (Perfect people, there’s something for you as well!).F3l0ny23Version: 200.3

Latest App you Need to Tweak any part of your life!This has to be the best app I’ve downloaded in a long time. I’m constantly finding ways to absorb new information. I have books on top of books that I get through about 1-2 chapters a week. Although it’s progress. It doesn’t get straight to the concepts I’m looking for. Since I’ve read a ton of books already I have a general idea of what exactly I’m looking for. This app has saved me tons and tons of research and time. Repetition is the key to mastery. The second problem I have is integrating new concepts into my life. Taking notes can lead to lots of time lost. Instead I find all the books I’ve already read and add them to my library so I can study them frequently so it truly becomes part of my life. It’s like going to the gym with your lifting partner for one week then you stopping and expecting to have the same excitement, push, and motivation to make lifting a new habit. Headway is my lifting partner for my mind..Bigtymplaya9Version: 159.3

Do it!I very rarely subscribe to apps, & if I do, it’s only for the free trail period (& usually forget about tbh) but I was intrigued by the overall sound of this app & thought it could be beneficial towards self-discovery/improvements. After the initial questionnaire & before even exploring it (tbh, most apps like this usually end up being a dud..) I subscribed for an entire year… (was offered an incredible deal I couldn’t pass up). Let me just say, I’m still a newbie & I’ve only read a few summaries so far but I’m obsessed already… the info received in such a compact way, being able to save quotes I want to “remember” (instead of filling up my camera roll with even more screenshots) & just the confidence of actually sticking with this/committing making this a daily activity, just the fact that I want to so quickly… yea, clearly, I’m a fan.. Possibly too big of a fan, but eh, I’m okay with that.. I’m just excited! & glad to have stumbled upon this new journey😁📚.143MelMelVersion: 309.6

Transformational!Ve been using Headway for a few days now, and it has completely transformed how I approach self-improvement. The app offers concise, insightful summaries of some of the best personal development books out there. What I love most is how easily I can fit these summaries into my day—whether I’m commuting, taking a break, or winding down at night. The summaries are well-written, engaging, and packed with actionable insights that I can apply immediately to my life. It’s like having a personal coach in my pocket, guiding me through the best ideas from the world’s top thinkers. The interface is user-friendly, making it easy to navigate through different categories and find exactly what I need at any given moment. Plus, the daily insights and challenges keep me motivated and on track with my goals. Headway has truly been a game-changer for me. If you’re looking to grow, learn, and make the most out of your time, I highly recommend giving it a try!.Mau BazVersion: 295.3

Helpful and effective and beautifulI was really hesitant about downloading another app that I’ll end up deleting very shortly afterwards. And even though this a rather quick review after using headway, it was very tempting to start right away. The books they recommended for me based on my interests are focused on exactly what I’m looking for and want to learn. It’s very good at working with the amount of time you choose to spend on the app, plus the way the books are summarized is pretty accurate and enjoyable. I wanted to try listening to books I’ve already read to see how well the app present the major points and I wasn’t disappointed. Thank you for developing this beautiful helpful way to keep people interested in learning, it made my day so much more exciting! The developers made it very easy for me to make time during the day to focus on what I want to do which is improving myself in the way that matters the most to me..NovaNanoVersion: 255.6

Love love love the concept, narrators need some updatingI am absolutely obsessed with the idea behind this app. I couldn’t ask for something more up my alley. The UI of the app is clean and easy to use and there is so much potential here. However, the narrators of the summaries are almost certainly computer generated. The voicing is very robotic and monotonous and it makes absorbing the information very difficult. The summaries themselves are just ok. I think they can do a bit better to capture the voice of the writer and not just regurgitate general sparknotes. There is definitely a middle ground where the fluff of the book is taken out but the key concepts and examples are preserved. There is too much of a focus on quantity and there needs to be more on quality. Maybe an option where users can choose how much of a summary they’d like of the book between a short bullet point style like they have now and a longer form, more absorbable format. I have seen others with similar feedback. Hopefully this gets addressed and I would gladly return as a paying customer!.Sarah TreiceVersion: 232.18

Great but missing key featuresI really like the practicality of this app, find it very easy to use, and appreciate being able to see the text while listening (though the UX of navigating between the listening mode set of screens could use some reworking). There are a few key features missing that would really elevate the whole experience: 1. Turn auto play off: when you end a book it launches you right into another book - one that wasn’t in your library!! The “x” close seems disabled for a few seconds. It feels very dark UX. Let me turn this off or select what I want to listen to next from my library. The book I wasn’t interested is stuck in my Continue rail, and the kebab doesn’t offer me to move it to “Save for Later” only to “Remove from Library” it’s a lose-lose situation. 2. No one-touch bookmark in category pages. Why?? 3. Display the actual book’s rating from a third party. In a sea of books the rating would be super helpful in prioritizing content..GigibyteVersion: 342.1

A Clean and Mobile-Friendly Reading Companion: Headway App ReviewI recently started using the Headway app, and I must say it has quickly become my go-to reading companion. The app's clean and simple front-facing design immediately caught my attention, making it a joy to navigate and use on a daily basis. One feature that I particularly appreciate is the app's mobile-friendliness. It allows me to easily share quotes and highlights from the audio, which is also available in text format. This makes it convenient for me to capture and save my favorite passages from the books I'm listening to. Another aspect that sets the Headway app apart is its ability to summarize popular and classic books perfectly. The summaries are concise yet comprehensive, providing a great overview of the key points and themes of each book. It's a fantastic way to explore a plethora of topics and genres while discovering new reading material. While the app offers a wide range of features, one aspect I would love to see improved is the option to choose from diverse ethnic voices. This would add a valuable layer of inclusivity and allow users to have a more personalized and immersive reading experience. MOverall, the Headway app is a fantastic tool for book lovers. Its clean and simple design, combined with its mobile-friendly features, make it a pleasure to use on a daily basis. Whether you're looking for book summaries, exploring new categories, or sharing your favorite quotes, the Headway app is a reliable and convenient companion for your reading journey..TiffaniNiccolVersion: 257.2

Perfect App!I never write reviews but this app deserves one! I was kind of skeptical at first because I was introduced to this app through an Instagram Ad. I was kind of bummed to see that it was just summaries of books and not the whole book. After reading the books suggested to me for the past couple of days I feel in love with this app! The recommendations are perfectly tailored to what I wanted to keep track on! And the summaries are super helpful and informational even thought they’re 7-9 pages long. I’ve also discovered books that i’d love to buy as well as read books that I’ve been deciding on buying but then didn’t find as useful or what I really wanted. I can’t get over how much I love this app at this point! Just with the summarizes i’ve read in 3 days (I’ve only had it for 3 days) I feel like I have taken in so much useful information that I think about all day! It’s absolutely worth the time and money!.Q.draggonVersion: 176.4

I GIVE 5 STARS NOW BECAUSE I THINK EVERYONE SHOULD START AT ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Ok so for some reason while I’m playing a game and this ad comes up and wow looks interesting and also I DO DEFINITELY read all the others critique and their opinion. But I first download it and I immediately deleted it like 23 days late now actually was probably later but anyways, so the dad comes up and it would not get off my screen I had to push enter. And then so I went to the app because it took me there. So, as for now, it looks really good and I remember that’s why I downloaded the app in the first place. Ever some reason after I download it, and I took a look at it and it didn’t look like the ad and I didn’t like some thing about the look of it I don’t know so I’m going to give five stars and now I’m going to start with the headway app and I will leave another review in a little bit and let you know how many stars (if any) that they have lost after (if any) L.Lmp1944Version: 267.2

A Great App with a Little Room for ImprovementI really enjoy this app and the ability to digest key ideas from books in a fraction of the time. I especially love the ability to read to listen to a book I’m interested to see if I would like to purchase it. I love to read and learn, but as with most people, time is a limited commodity. I love the variety of options and do hope it keeps expanding, particularly in the science and history genres. Thanks so much! Some things I would like to see: - I would love different and more engaging narrators. Some books seem like an AI generated or robotic voice. I completely understand that there are so many books on here, so am all for them using resources at their disposal. Sometimes it just drones on or can even be distracting, though. - When reading, there are multiple grammatical errors or incomplete sentences. It gets distracting at times. - I would love to see an option to highlight or “add to notes.” I love the “remember” concept, but would love to pick out things that stick out to me specifically. - I wish there was a way to add favorites. I go through at least one book a day and rate the ones I enjoy, but I realized I can’t go back and see which ones those were. Unfortunately, I didn’t realize this until I was a week in, but I do take notes when I can. - This last one may not fit here, but it would be very cool if Headway partnered with any magazines like NatGeo or Time. Awesome app! Thank you!!.[email protected]Version: 246.1

Wow!Ok. So I’m only on day two but I’ve already “read” two books. I don’t like to read much because I can’t stay focused. I need all the self-help I can get so what better way to do it than have a 15 min therapy session with one of these books! There are so many it’s hard to decide which one to read. Books on self-help, success, love and sex, management, etc. The next book I’m reading showed up under multiple categories so that should touch a l out of areas! This is fantastic. I’m so excited to listen (and read along when I can) every single day. It’s easy to go back and listen to book I’ve already “ready” to refresh/remind me of what I learned the first time. Anyway.. I’m babbling with excitement and have already shared the app info with my best friend. Self-sabotage no more and self-worth, self-esteem and emotional IQ are in the rise! BTW, there are plenty of other categories to choose from. These are the topics I need now!.UrBrEydGrlVersion: 233.10

Help is on the way but you have to be your own first responder and lead yourself first.I have been aware of my likelihood of having ADHD for quite some time now. However, it was only yesterday that I received an official diagnosis as an adult. My military experiences, particularly in war zones, provided me with abundant stimulation that allowed my skills and talents to thrive. Transitioning back to civilian life felt like a repetitive cycle. The challenges I face have significantly impacted my life. I have started exploring a few titles on this app, and they have been incredibly insightful in helping me gain clarity about my situation. They have ignited a sense of determination in me to take charge of my life instead of being a bystander. While many may speak superficially, the events in my life have led to my separation from the woman I love and have caused severe setbacks in my business.

Insightful, motivational, and perfect for self-growthIn the recent year I have been extremely driven to expand my horizons in psychology and self-growth. I go to therapy, read books, journal, speak affirmations, do daily devotionals, and recently started meditating. Saw the ad for this app on TikTok and felt like it might be something good to incorporate into my every day routine. I’ve only been using it for 2 days and can say I will definitely be using it daily for new insights and as a refresher on anything that I have already learned or read into. Would definitely recommend to everyone! It’s very insightful, easy to use, and better than scrolling TikTok when I’m bored. It gives you key points and sort of a short summary of some good books with great knowledge. Also, will say that I do have the subscription but absolutely did not pay full price. The price is a bit steep but other than that it is a great app!.Pastell95Version: 281.6

Just Getting StartedBeen using the app about a week but so far it’s perfect for me. The key points pulled from each book are so very helpful. Definitely not long or boring, so very simple to be still and absorb all of the important information and truly inspire you to change and start implementing those key points. The entire setup just works. I have tried so many times to read the book lists for a successful anything, I would start and before long fizzle out. I know I just started with this one but I’m far more hopeful than I ever was before. The app is quite encouraging, will send reminders to let you know it’s time to work on yourself and if you want and/or need those positive changes in your life, then it’s right here at your fingertips and so easy to navigate. I do believe that success with anything is a mindset, this app will guide you in helping to achieve that mindset..SBJC$Version: 275.2

Great but can be betterThis app is great for those who don’t have time to read a full book but want to get the essence of it. Some feedback for developers: 1. If I want to find a quote mentioned in the book, it thinks I’m trying to read it again and prompt me to continue reading it when that’s not my purpose. If the app can determine that once a book has been read and no longer needs to be read again, can it not ask me to read it again? 2. Can you allow users to add their own quoted messages to the “repetition” tab? I think rn it’s just the preselected quote but that’s not necessarily what I want to remember. 3. Why is there a need to have a “repetition” tab? Not sure the purpose of this and I don’t use it. 4. If I want to buy a book after I read it I would like to do it from your app… can you include that in your next iteration/ business plan ? Appreciate this app a lot! Thank you!

RefundHello, i cannot fund a contact number however i just purchased this service. I have never even opened this application in about 2 weeks i and would like a refund. i can not afford this at all and meant to cancel but i had a family emergency which involved me flying to a different city and it completely slipped my mind. i’m kindly asking for a refund as i can no longer pay my rent because this payment has been taken out of my account. i’m asking you from the bottom of my heart to please issue a refund. i’m begging i really cannot afford this..Refund98Version: 1.0.3

Wrong money chargesThey are a scam. They will show you option for one month charges and at the end of free trial period they will charge for the whole year and than no response to emails forwarded. Even Apple support is not helping. Basically you r trapped..NaaninnaininanathththVersion: 68.0

I changed the rating but it Still keeps crashing after the update tooIts keeps crashing no matter what I update. I removed and redownloaded it. But now I know I need to do it every day this is how it is working. I still can read one summary everyday then next day before reading I need to uninstall and re-install. Funny but I changed my review and rating from 1 to 3 stars. But headway should know how frustrating my experience is and it needs to be fixed..Mann NiyatiVersion: 309.6

Very user friendly(but not free)The UI and app are very simple to use, however this app is not really made for free users. They keep begging you to subscribe and only let you read 1 book per day THAT THEY CHOOSE. App is great, price is not.CancerDelPulmonVersion: 160.6

One of the best ways to learnI say it’s one of the best ways to learn, but there are definitely improvements to be made. For example the voiceovers feel emotionless and robotic and make the summaries feel bland and cold which makes the whole process more of a burden than anything. There is an easy fix for this and it’s called investing in AI programming. The best one that could be used is a program called ElevenLabs since it provides realistic VO’s, but it takes some knowledge of AI prompting to get the hang of it. Other than that, I would 100% recommend this app since it does give some useful tools if you are serious about learning..CanadiancreatorVersion: 309.6

Bot reading makes it difficult to processI was really excited to get this app as I listen to about 50 books a year al I figured that having a nice summary would help me get more information faster, and then let me choose books I would like to read in their entirety. As the app definitely offers that I didn’t realize it was read by a robot. The pauses are unnatural which makes the information difficult to process. You can adapt the speed, but it’s the length of pauses for emphasis that makes a difference. I wish I would’ve known it’s read by a robot before buying . I bought the full year, but decided to go with other apps that offer Live readers in the future. If they had the same summaries read by a real person, I really think I would’ve given it five stars..SmileDesignVersion: 314.0

Headway - Daily Micro Learning Negative Reviews

Terrible SummariesI really wanted to like this app and would have gladly paid for it, had I felt it would be worth the money. Unfortunately, the summaries are completely worthless. I was expecting the summaries to be highly condensed versions of the full size, trimming away the fat of little anecdotes and long-winded preamble you typically find in non-fiction or self help books. Instead it seems like the summaries were written by very clumsy A.I. or someone who skimmed the back covers of the books at most and didn’t even bother to actually read the books themselves before writing any of the summaries—perhaps a hungover college student doing odd jobs to put ramen on the table. I even read summaries of books I’d already read in full—to get an idea of how good the summaries are—and I was shocked at how they were able to have entire paragraphs written down and still manage to not communicate anything of substance. I came out of each summary having gained no new knowledge and having learned nothing. It’s just fluff text. Also after downloading, I immediately started getting bombarded with notifications to get a “streak” going. I think they missed the point about self help: it takes time to implement. If you’re just jumping from reading one summary to the next like they pressure you to “commit” to, you’ll never even have time to focus on doing the things you’ve learned about—that would be, if there actually was anything to learn from the summaries in the first place. Don’t waste your time or money..VegannnVersion: 260.3

Want to like it but finding the summaries too general and some with terrible narrationI listen to many Self Help Titles as I drive. There are soo many. Came across this app and thought it would be a great way to replay some of my favorites without the time commitments and find new ones that I may not have the time to listen to. But after 3 months, I’m not happy with the app. I find the summaries far too general and some of the narrators either too fast or too monotonous. They’re not getting the unique essences of many of the books and state all points in the same numeric ascending order, so missing the key focus often of the book. I feel if the summaries were longer without becoming a ‘book’ , it would beneficial. There’s an option to change narrators but when I click on it, nothing happens. So I’m stuck with whoever it is. I see from forums, others are having the same issue. I think the premise of the app is good, thus why I paid for it. But I also feel there’s too many “great job, you just finished another key point” interruptions. I don’t need to be congratulated every 4 minutes. At the stage, I can’t recommend and won’t renew. I did email their customer service to ask for a refund but never heard back. Had high hopes, but my experience has not been one that makes me want to keep using this app..ZeusmanVersion: 320.0

POOR CUSTOMER SERVICEAfter this app renewed for a price of (100$) that I did not select or was it apart of the popup signon deal (I do not spend that much on apps so I’m sure & I’m careful when selecting ) meaning the app auto selected it over my preference chosen ! When I realized THE DAY OF more so the same hour they charged me I immediately canceled the plan , immediately contacted customer service to let them know I wasn’t using the service and there had to be a mix up, being they had several “bug fixes” on this app at the time I thought they’d have a little integrity behind customer issues but no. (Unfortunately this happened the day of my kid birthday and I had full proof I was willing to show them so they knew I wasn’t just a petty caller ) As I let them know the situation they literally had no desire to investigate and was just very admin about no refunds. I hadn’t even attempted to use the service ! They offered no other options even as to restoring my service and it literally got purchased that day ! So I paid 100$ , nothing in return and the biggest inconvenience ever . Total scam. i am a loyal customer and I love building up positive and informative platforms . I would’ve been such a consistent customer that it would’ve added up to more than 100$ I would’ve told my family and friends . That’s why it really took me back on how unreasonable they were being about the situation. I didn’t even use the service! With that being said you all be careful when purchasing with this company . You guys handling things like that, you’ll be your own downfall !.KAYKE4000Version: 179.4

Non-existent Customer SupportAfter I purchased a one month trial of Headway, I was asked a series of questions- basically if I thought certain titles would be interesting. Bc I hadn’t used Headway in years, when they asked if I wanted to add them, I clicked yes thinking whatever they sound good- assuming that it was apart of it. Like I said I wasn’t familiar with the App nor are most people who would be in this scenario. Then I got an alert I had been charged an additional $20 extra dollars. I was confused bc I thought I had purchased only the one month subscription. So I reached out to “customer service” and they “kindly informed” me that they can’t charge me for anything o didn’t agree to purchase and closed the case. So I attempted again to get in touch with customer service to request a refund bc it was a misunderstanding & I wasn’t going to use the service. When I submitted it, I got a message saying it wasn’t submitted that I have to verify my email address. So I check my email- nothing and honestly I don’t think I’m going to get an email. They don’t have a phone number or a real point of contact and it’s probably because they make a lot of money on confusing people with add-ons and they can get away with it. I hope the $20 they made off of me is worth it bc I am gladly going to spread the word about their lack of integrity and customer support..AshB8698Version: 379.6

*Scam Alert! Beware! *I saw this app being sponsored, and after looking into it, decided to try the “free” trial. Well, apparently there’s no such thing. I got charged immediately without my knowing. Within 2 days of trying it out, I realized I didn’t like the format because it wasn’t what I was expecting. I went into the app, hit “unsubscribe,” and deleted the app. I thought this was all set. Until I received my credit card statement with a charge for the app on it. I was charged as soon as I downloaded the app. Not after the free trial. So apparently, hitting unsubscribe wasn’t good enough. I was apparently expected to contact apple for a refund. But didn’t realize I got charged until I got my statement in the mail, and now I’m outside of the cancellation period. The funniest part is, if I go back into the app, and hit “resubscribe,” I’m being notified that I’ll get charged. So I basically made a $64 donation to this app when I downloaded it. This is all infuriating, and super scammy. I’ve never had any issues with apps before, nor have I ever written a review, but after being on the phone with customer service for over an hour and being told there’s nothing they can do, I can’t help but want to warn everyone that this is how this app is operating. Shameful! Oh, and I was informed that if I contact my credit card to reverse charge, I could potentially lose my apple account. WOW!.SOFuriousVersion: 160.6

A Reading App That’s Not For ReadersI wanted to like this app. I love the concept of it, getting right down to the main concept of a book without all the extra fluff. But here’s the problem, the fluff is what makes a book unique and useful. That’s the stuff that resonates with someone that causes the light bulb to turn on in their head, which in turn causes changes in their lives. I can look at someone who wants to grow their business and say “You have to put in the work” and then walk away. Is this going to help them? Most likely not. But that’s what this app is doing. Stripping down books until they are basic clichés such as “Stop eating junk food”. Well no shut Sherlock. I think the reason that so many people are liking this app is that they probably aren’t readers. So giving 15 minutes to a book makes them feel good. That’s great, but you could do the same with an audio book and get so much more out of it. This isn’t a video game. You’re not leveling up with each synopsis you listen to. The point of these books is to better your life. Are you actually making changes or are you just wearing your “Listened to 38 books this month!” badge like a mask for you to hide behind so you don’t actually have to do anything? Something to think about..[+=oo]Version: 250.1

Barely worth itThe summaries are so general it’s like listening to water. They must have used AI to generate the scripts. Unfortunately, robots take equal quantitative value out of all the book’s narrative, and distill that, ergo the watery result. If a human wrote the summaries then the summaries would reflect the qualitative values of the narrative. Those would be distilled and the rest of the dross ejected. That distillation would be interesting and worth the cost. Furthermore, the narration voices are synthetic (good synthetic, but still synthetic) but they still gets annoying, like when you watch a movie and you get dumped out of the plot because the CGI is frustratingly not-quite-right. Actually, worse than annoying because the robot voices don’t know how to pronounce some words. Like saying, “co-leer- ra” rather than “cholera”, etc. The company seems to understand these problems bc you get to rate the summaries after each one and these issues I’ve mentioned are kinda-presented as options to complain about. Just pay humans to make the summaries and do the voice-overs then you’d have a much higher quality product, one you could actually be proud of. Cuz right now, it’s just coming across as “corporate-America-cheap-bait-and-switch”. Really fellas, you want to be part of the problem?.Te Mac2Version: 313.5

Super interested as an avid reader, not anymoreThis app came across the store for me and sounded absolutely delightful. I opened it, did my little assessment, and it even suggested 2 material pieces to listen to... the issue? The pieces were not available for me to even attempt to listen to, unless I paid or tried a free trial. I assumed they (at least one) would be my free listen for the day especially since they had chosen them for me, but that wasn't the case. Moreover, the free piece of the day I attempted to listen to was not enriching as it is something I have already on my own time divulged into. Not only were the two suggestions a waste seeing as I cannot utilize them, the free daily pick was unhelpful as well. Genuinely I would've even considered those faults okay if it would have given me another option as a replacement free read, but from everything I have done in the app it seems it isn't a possibility, and instead I'm hit with discount offers each time I try to solve the issue. I'm sure this app will work for many people, but I couldn't even give it a proper first-shot due to the circumstances I've listed above. It's discouraged me so much I'll be uninstalling, as it's a little silly to wait a whole 24hrs just to even attempt a read that is relevant to you... good luck, I hope this is different in the future..DeathmaskSaintVersion: 276.1

BEWARE! Terrible ethics!I discovered headway by clicking on a catchy “quiz” widget while I was in another app. After taking quiz, I wanted to learn more about product so I clicked on the blue button to learn more and by this point I had been navigated to their website where they had 3 subscription options available. All 3 were PAID options and there was no “Free Trial” offer. I purchased the 3 month subscription option since it seemed like the best deal and the least expensive option to learn more about what they were offering. AFTER creating acct and purchasing the subscription, they navigate you to the download app widget. Upon downloading the app, I find out there is a “free trial” option so I go and try to cancel paid subscription and get refund and since I purchased through their website rather than the App Store/app, they were not required nor were they willing to abide by Apple’s ethics policies regarding refunds for accidental purchases or if canceled within a certain time frame of which it was purchased without being used. So the only way to be refunded is to go through Apple when creating acct and purchasing subscription and they have strategically set up a funnel for people who take quiz to be navigated to website then to create acct then to purchase subscription before even offering the option to download app! So when you click on the “free trial” widget for “new users”, you are directed to your profile you set up through website so you aren’t a “new user” therefore you can’t get free trial and can’t get refund because it wasn’t purchased through Apple. The people responsible for creating that scam are a very clever set of crooks.. 👎🏻👹🤬.Lauren@ZealHairStudioVersion: 283.2

Caution before subscribingI loved the idea of replacing doom scrolling with micro learning. I love to read and learn new things, and I thought this would be an interesting new way to do that. I was disappointed to find that the book summaries were far too simple. They take a book and shave it right down to a few basic points per chapter. They simplify it so far, that the information you’re left with is basically common knowledge. They’ve taken out all the supporting details that make the information interesting or memorable. They essentially erase the author’s perspective. I figured out pretty quick that this app wasn’t for me and cancelled my subscription. I later realized that I was charged for an additional 2 months after canceling. When I reached out to customer support, I was told the the 2 months I was overcharged for were nonrefundable because I had subscribed through their website rather than through the app. I’m not sure how that happened considering I just downloaded the app and followed the prompts. Finally I paid an additional $15 for infographics that I was never able to access. The company had no response to that complaint. Apparently they’re quite comfortable with ripping people off. If you’re interested in overpaying for book summaries, please proceed with caution..AMulroonVersion: 233.22

PointlessNot for me, and not really sure who the audience is. The app starts by recommending consuming 38 “books” a month. Seems like an arbitrary goal of summaries, and makes you wonder how much detail you will retain at such a pace. But as a prolific reader, I thought that reading the salient points of a handful of books could help me narrow down what I would like to focus on and read the full length version of. Unfortunately, I never found anything of value during my trial. The majority of selections in my recommendations I’ve already read and were very dated. The ones that I wasn’t familiar with, I had no idea why they were being recommended to me as they didn’t fit my survey results. How many books do I need summarized about being productive in the morning? The library trends predominantly to self help books. Summaries must come from AI because they vary in quality from book to book. I read a couple summaries from books that I was familiar with and I didn’t feel they managed to identify the key takeaways. If you are one of the 5 people who never read Rich Dad Poor Dad or Freakenomics, maybe you will get value out of it. But if you had any interest in the topic, chances are you’ve read them in the past 20 years without the aid of a summarization..Hk94Version: 232.8

DisappointedThe concept is a great idea — summarize popular books into the essential nuggets to help you be better in multiple disciplines. Unfortunately, this app falls short on multiple levels. I’ve had the app two months and this is the third time it has deleted all my finished book history and books saved for future reading. To cancel this app is anything but simple. Tech support sends you a canned email to go within your apple account to unrenew the subscription. It wasn’t listed as a subscription! I had to click a link from an email on my desktop, then navigate to a page to unsubscribe. In the meantime, support marked my ticket as resolved without ever checking in with me to see if that was the case. And most annoyingly, the summaries are varying degrees of WORD SALAD. For me, the app worked best as a screener tool. I listened to summaries, then decided if I wanted to read the entire book. For me, I found that about one in ten books were ones I wanted to read from cover to cover. It’s sad to think I could have missed out on books that the app didn’t summarize in a helpful, sensical way. (Note to book publishers — you might want to beat apps like this to the punch and write summaries that promise what this app did.).DrkmsVersion: 296.6

Mediocre content, bad programmingI have listened to about 20 book summaries over the past two weeks on Headway. They have a great selection of books across huge variety of genres. I have found the summaries to be OK but not inspiring. One of the things about books that makes them great is the stories they tell, but you cannot fit a story into a 15 minute summary so while the content of the summary is good it lacks the impact that the real book has. I have yet to listen to a book read by a real human, they’ve all been either a male or female computer that does an OK job. The functionality of the app itself is pretty bad. I get emails or notifications recommending certain books, but when you tap on that notification it opens the app back to the last page you were on instead of sending you to the recommended book. It takes forever to load the audio, and does not have any controls available in CarPlay. Today it told me “continue reading for zero minutes to meet your daily goal!” Overall I am using it as a way to screen books to decide what I’m interested in actually reading, rather than finding inspirational summaries like I expected..New AlaskanVersion: 156.1

SneakyI opted into this app from a Facebook ad. I have gone back-and-forth with Customer Service about charging me after the trial when it very clearly says when you sign up that several reminders will be sent when your trial period is about to run out so that you can decide whether you want to keep the app or cancel the membership. I received zero and I mean zero notifications. I also did not see the app in my recently purchased so there was no way for me to go back and delete it or unsubscribe until I was billed. I very respectfully wrote back two emails letting the customer service personnel know what had transpired and they could care less. I think this is very sneaky I am very aware of how trial periods work but I also believe that you can go back and see the history of the application being used or not used and I was not given any notification I think it’s garbage and really bad customer service and a really bad way to do business. I will eat the $40 but I feel like this is just mean and not a good way to attain and keep loyal customers. Tracking them into paying for something they don’t use and yes I said tricking because zero notification was sent even though your sign up process said it would..KristaDmore1Version: 157.3

Misleading marketingFunny story, I’ve clicked on their instagram ads MULTIPLE times before realizing that those ads are completely false. They have many different ones with information on various measures of personality types and there’s a little rectangle that says “Take Test” at the bottom so you assume there’s going to be a quiz. So I (re)download the app and then… There are no quizzes or even suggested lists for the categories they advertised. It’s just another app that summarizes books. But without the personalized suggestions they promised. Do those appear somewhere after I pay them money? So despite being literally duped many times, the app itself looks pretty nice. It has broad categories for types of books if you want to browse but I think there’s a cap on how much you can read/listen to if you don’t pay the subscription. If I were to use the app, I’d like to see a “mark as read” function for books that I’ve actually already read or maybe a way to request books. For me it was an easy way to see what books are popular but other than that it doesn’t really have any use for me. Especially since it’s not what I thought I was getting based on their own ads..Djun13lVersion: 179.0

Disappointed in myself for Trying the appThe app popped up in a social media add, I had been slacking in my reading recently so I decided to get a free trial. I get how trials work and why they set them up to auto bill after the trial, I accept that. I have never been so mad at myself for not canceling a free trial on time, and I’ve done it a few times with other apps I really didn’t want to pay for. If you are planning to ‘Listen’ to the book summaries, the robotic auto- read narration is so god awful I wished myself deaf. It does a horrible job at communicating the intent. I’m not sure if the summaries were written that poorly or the auto-read technology is that bad, lack of punctuation, pause, tone and human inflection often leave you confused at what you heard that you can’t even pay attention. I even tried listening to one of the books on focus and paying better attention, it didn’t help. The cards and summaries seemed to get the main points of books across I was familiar with, but I think you would have been better off reading a free summary online. The ‘cards’ and repetition features don’t seem like they would be helpful to most people or really add much value to make the App worth even risking a free trial..CandyDivineVersion: 1.21

Misleading and poorly executedI have several concerns about this app. First, when I initiated the trial, correspondence from the company indicated they would remind me of the expiration of the trial. They did not do so. That’s on me. Even though I take responsibility, I think starting a customer relationship with a misleading promise is a bad idea. Next, the app does not support portrait mode on an iPad. This is how many people read on an iPad. It is 2025, and if this company wishes to make money based on their coding skills, they should provide basic features like portrait mode. Third, some of the summaries read like they were written by a three-year-old with a crayon. They are superficial, poorly written, and inaccurate. There is no way to distinguish the good from the bad until you get into the middle of a summary, which is an absolute waste of time. Finally, the app does not function consistently on a basic iPhone. It stops midway through a summary, and when you hit play, it restarts the summary completely. I have reloaded the app and rebooted the phone to no avail. Short version: purchasing this app was a mistake. I recommend you research other options before pulling the trigger..RASa67Version: 340.2

Falsely advertised, scam, will not honor refundsWhen I clicked on the advertisement for this app, it was made to sound like it as some kind of customized program to help you accomplish your goals. It’s not. It’s nothing more than yet another e-book / audiobook app with a veneer for the search engine that makes it *seem* like it’s doing something more helpful. Once I saw this after less than 5 minutes of looking at the app, I decided it wasn’t for me because it’s not anything like what it was purported to be. I contacted support within the five minutes and asked for a refund. The documentation states that there is a no questions asked for the first 24hr period. They informed me that it “wasn’t possible” to refund me since the purchase was made through the website and not the App Store. And I am supposed to believe in 2024 that a company can’t process a refund? “Not possible?” No, it’s most certainly possible to send money back to someone through PayPal. It’s right there in the documentation. They’re just a dishonest company that’s hoping to make a quick buck through a “gotcha” guerrilla ad campaign. DO NOT RECOMMEND. My next stop will be BBB..Brian B 83Version: 281.1

Also after I cancelled my subscription I noticed that the price automatically charged me for 6 months is the same price as their 1 year subscription so they would’ve charged me double for the year if I stayed.....super shady.12345asdfgjowiejVersion: 1.2.17

Stop taking my money!!!!Paid for a $15 per year subscription, this company is taking $40.88 per MONTH! Insane! Customer support is totally useless. Had to back charge credit card and file a fraud claim!.Jortro01Version: 263.3

Bad customer care... fraudulent subscription pricesI try to contact them about my subscription, which they charge me 132$ for 6 months... they did not asked me which one I want when I subscribed.. there is no reply and no contact number... do not get into this app.. very shady.Sambajwa98Version: 1.13.0

Huge fraud they charge you for 6 months even if the app says weekly subscriptionThey offer a one week trial and then 9,99$ per week. After one week they charged me for 6 months 135$!!!! There is no way I would have agreed to renew for 6 months. The robot voice is extremely annoying, why would I pay that much money for a summary of a book read by a robot!???? I can’t get a refund through apple I am so angry and I can’t afford to lose 135$ just because of these scammers!.JememoisVersion: 1.12.0

Horrible ! THEY WILL NOT RESPOND TO YOUI signed up for a free trial and was billed for the year. I’ve written two emails to their support team and have never received a response. A fraudulent app and I can’t believe they are able to continue to offer it here..Totally angry and ripped offVersion: 1.12.0

UnimpressedInstantly regretted paying for this. All the books are voiced by a computer. Sounds like Siri is reading too you. Refund please..KMHPROVersion: 1.6.2

ScamPaid for the subscription but nothing worked, no response.SjddjdkdjVersion: 262.3

ScamTotal scam charged me up for a yearly subscription automatically after a free trial and didn’t even notify me that the trial was over GIVE ME MY $133 back.Bebluv3000Version: 166.0

BEWARE of subscription renewal!!!If you forget to cancel your free trial even by a day they charge you for a YEAR! No chance of refund. $130 ish Canadian. Yikes! Ap itself is ok but not at that price. Feel ripped off. Lesson learned. This is my 1st 1star review..KoznicVersion: 160.6

False advertising, stolen content with AI voice-overs for adsHere is how Headway advertises their app: 1. They steal footage of someone giving a speech or speaking at a convention and being applauded 2. In the stolen footage, they edit in visuals that make such claims as "How 15 minutes of microlearning changed my life". These visuals are obviously edited in, but this is most likely part of Headway's intent. 3. They give the speaker a fake name and have an AI replace their voice in the footage with their promotional script, where they make outlandish claims, chief among them that reading book summaries is the secret to being intelligent. 4. Headway allegedly charges people who sign up for a free trial even if they instantly cancel. Hundreds of people allege that Headway continues to charge their credit card months after they cancelled, and that Headway support either ignores their emails or gaslights them. 5. If you do use the app they ILLEGALLY charge you for, congrats! You get to read AI-generated summaries of books, most of which allegedly make no sense! There's a reason the developer of this app is based in Cyprus- lack of legislation that prevents corporations from stealing people's money. To anyone reading this wondering if Headway is the app for you- use any other app, such as Binkist. To the developers- don't worry, I make sure to click your ads and download your app every time I see a scammy ad for Headway. Then I uninstall it. I have probably cost you hundreds of dollars, and will proudly continue to do so. That is, until you take this app down and move onto your next grift. Pitiful..Paul SczywsjkiVersion: 314.1

Shady subscriptionAfter the free trial I removed the subscription from my Apple subscriptions but they still charged me because I didn’t remove it from a SECOND place within their website. I flagged their customer service team and was basically told too bad it’s in their policy. They said I downloaded through their website which I did NOT I went through their app. Shady practice..MattStevensonVersion: 305.3

Don’t buyLure you in with a free trial and still charge you for a year after you cancel, no one responds when you try to contact customer service, charged for a year subscription yet I don’t even have it on my account, still the free version.BlaZe182872727Version: 297.6

ScamAs soon as you register for free trial they charge your credit card, and they steal your money with no chance for refund. They’re thieves, they are not honest, don’t trust a liar, and don’t waste your money. Check the other reviews too, robbery has happened to other people too..Arash135778Version: 290.6

AVOID DO NOT DOWNLOADAll of the comments here are exactly what I went through as well. To make it even worse, I suggested making the best of it and telling myself I would learning from this expensive and annoying mistake and at least use it everyday to TRY to get my money’s worth somehow (definitely not worth the $117.99 regardless). However when I went to login after a day of not using it , all of my history with the usage of the app so far was gone and I was answering the same set up questions from the beginning …. so it starts all over again anyways..SambracheVersion: 290.2

ScamThey say they will notify you to cancel your subscription. They don’t, they word it funny as a loop hole. Then they charge you a WHOLE year immediately with no chance of a refund. Do not do the free trial..HiilikecatsanddogsVersion: 289.1

Starting with trust issuesHeadway developers, you are shooting yourself in the foot by putting that sneaky button on the same page where you click to start your free trial, giving you the option to look at the other plans available. Obviously most people will pick the cheaper 1-year plan, not realizing that that option doesn't come with a free trial! You know what you're doing, but it only destroys your ratings, which I think are more important in the long run than the money you are getting from less discerning clickers. I will continue to use the app for my 7-day trial, and will update my review based on the actual experience. But for now, 1-star for the sneaky tactic. Luckily I realized I could cancel the subscription in Apple settings immediately and I still get the full trial..Arctic fox!Version: 289.1

Poor UXI am paying money for the app, and then I am FORCED to submit reviews (cannot just skip or close) and watch dumb animation of fire for 5 seconds for some streaks that no one cares about. Build dumb UX = get 1 star review..Hateyelp2018Version: 282.1

Horrible / ScamDon’t do it, I thought this was a great concept however, they are scammers. Their sign up process automatically opts you into accepting infographics for more than the subscription charge. When you realize what they have done, and unselect that option, they still continue to charge you. I have cancelled my subscription and they offered me a full year, yet I continue to get charges? There should be some place to report your practices and prevent others from having to experience this robbery..Claudia/1987!Version: 269.0

False advertisingThe infographics cost extra, when it’s already 36$ CAD a month. A MONTH! Do not fall for this scam. It’s basically the back covers of books read by AI narrators. It’s just AI generated content, just ask chat GPT to summarize a book and have Siri read it to you. There, saved you hundreds of dollars a year. Garbage..RachelattackVersion: 265.2

ScamI should have read the reviews before I downloaded this app, very disappointed . I cancelled my subscription the day I downloaded the app because its not what I expected, and just realized from my card statements they’ve been deducting payments! Funny thing is I’ve checked my Apple purchases so many times and it’s not even showing I’m subscribed to this anymore!.PilgrimchicVersion: 265.2

ScamThey charge you even when you cancel your subscription!.MissmkmkVersion: 264.2

ScamThey do not offer a stop subscription. They automatically pull money out of your account even after a subscription cancel..Rickz026Version: 263.3

Be careful - they lure you in and it’s tricky to cancelI tried the free trial and found the voice overs really annoying to listen to. They sound like AI. Thought I’d cancelled but apparently you must do it through them, not Apple. So, when I got charged, I asked them to refund me. It took them weeks to get back to me, and they refused. I’d say it’s not worth the money, and the customer service clinched it..AlbertafanaticVersion: 263.3

They Scam you even more with upsells that you don’t even know you are purchasingI spent almost $50 CAD before I even downloaded the app, and as soon as I saw the accidental charge, I cancelled everything and tried to request a refund through Apple only to realize that they do not charge through Apple (1st red flag). At least Apple is reasonable when it comes to accidental subscriptions, this company is not. They charge you directly, and do not give refunds so when you think you are simply personalizing your content, you are actually signing up for additional monthly subscriptions! It is insane that their rating is even this high. I am surprised more users haven’t come forward with the same experience. That money could have gone to groceries, or an exercise class, instead it went to a shady company who tries to squeeze you for every last dime and does not offer refunds. DON’T DO IT, I’m sure there is much better out there. At the bare minimum, don’t give your money to an app that doesn’t charge you through Apple, as there is no way to fight charges you were unaware that you made..BearClanIncVersion: 262.3

DupedFell for a year promotion. Paid $ 50 US. Then was put on a 3month payment plan for $40 US. Essentially I was assigned two contracts. I was able to unsubscribe from the second plan but, but I have no idea how to get a refund for the supposed annual subscription I paid for! I have no access to the app and only receive stupid helpful hints in my email. Don’t support these people! Get Kindle unlimited instead!!.;stelVersion: 262.0

😡Absolute trash. I came for help and instead they’re asking me for my money..Kool kidiuhbhgVersion: 262.0

Waste of time and moneyHonestly it’s terrible. I bought it thinking it will be helpful, it is not. The narration is atrocious and the summaries leave a lot to be desired. No description as to what needs further grasping. They use terms that are explained in the book as everyday language which is confusing to just assume you know what it means. I wish I could get a refund..SDS12345678Version: 262.0

Unsavoury business practicesThis company will continue to bill you even after you have deleted the app and cancelled subscription..XuamoxVersion: 262.0

No free trialThey changed me immediately for the whole amount, I wish I read the reviews before, how can I trust these people and use the app?.NadiaKinglVersion: 261.3

Do Not UseLike the other reviews they lure you with a free trial then charge you anyway. Please google this app before using. It’s not legit..BexMF19Version: 261.3

SCAMAn absolute scam. They will claim you did not cancel your subscription even though I did, and charge you. App was absolutely terrible and useless, use ChatGPT or anything else. Customer service was horrendous, they’re rude and clearly don’t understand customer service. Save your money, this company can’t stand behind their product, otherwise they wouldn’t have to scam people an extra $60 where they can.J122odVersion: 261.3
