Be CAREFUL. That initial trial is a set up for their full service. You must manually cancel or they’ll bill you. That is not a trial it is buying the service. A trial should automatically collapse when trial period is over. I don’t like businesses that do that. They’re not clear up front about that. […]
Reviews for Headway: 15-Min Book Summaries

I did not like the content so I tried to cancel the free trial on the first day. The subscription does not show up in Google Play and when I click the account link in the welcome email to go to my account, it doesn’t matter how many times I click “Cancel subscription” and “I’m […]
Total scam – Stay away! I wish I had read the other reviews before signing up for a free trial! After signing up, the app did not unlock any of the books, and even the daily free one won’t load – I just get a loading icon that never goes away. I also don’t see […]
Nothing’s wrong with the app. The interface is clean, the recommendations are decent and you can listen or read books. But everything is behind the paywall, except you get 1 free book a day (you cannot close this book, it is automatically chosen for you). Their is a 7 day free trial and after that […]
Okay… This thing keeps asking me to leave a review , so here. This is about a year now using this app. Paid full price. The particular female voice used on half of these readings is not a very pleasant sound. We should definitely have a couple narrator options for each reading. Regardless of how […]
I purchased an annual subscription but accidentally clicked on an add-on and was charged for an additional monthly subscription. After receiving the confirmation email I realized the error and tried to cancel / get a refund immediately. I was able to cancel but they still charged me and were refusing to refund. Update: after emailing […]
The AI voices don’t always get it right. There’s a decent variety of books on a variety of topics. Starts to get pretty repetitive after a while especially because some of the most interesting points are whittled down to a few sentences and feel pretty reductive. Probably the most egregious thing about it though is […]
The app functions well for what it tries to do. No bugs, smooth operation. But all of the summaries read like they were written by AI or a high schooler. The voice is odd and the sentences within a paragraph rarely flow together smoothly. It’s often so bad that it detracts from the process of […]
I sadly have to rate it 1 star for a glitch and the very poor support Google Store provided. The selections and the idea behind the micro-learning is good – useful app on that regard. However, it twice prompted of discounted yearly prices during the trial. I tried obliging but it errored out everytime. I […]
I really like this app. The content is clear and helpful. The price for a yearly subscription is extremely reasonable. Unfortunately, I can only give Headway 3 stars, which may be a bit generous. I can only access the app 15% of the time when I actually want to listen to a reading, which is […]
This app is immensely helpful! I feel like I’ve learned a lot, and have actually used the knowledge I’ve gained in my career. However, I’m not a fan of the AI voices as they pronounce things strangely, skip words, and sound so dry and stiff. I also would like to be able to save challenges […]
I’ve really enjoyed the app so far—great content and worth the subscription. I love the read-along feature; it makes the material resonate more. However, the lack of a seek bar and synced scrolling with the audio can be frustrating. It would be great if the text stayed in sync with the narration, like on YouTube […]
The app saves a lot of time from old-fashioned reading. I enjoy the format of the library, downloads, and an option to read the transcript at the same time. HOWEVER, there seem to be only 3 narrator voices, and I got tired of them. Additionally, I listened to a few summaries for books I also […]
Downloaded this app. spent maybe 5 minutes on it, and then closed it. A week later, and I am checking my bank account, I see a $95 charge.. I say “hmm, that’s weird?” I checked, and saw that it was from a subscription to this app for $95… Now you can call me irresponsible, but […]
Hello everyone I just started an application named Headway and I am well pleased with the system it has curated with many best selling books. The audiobooks are excellent and you have the option to read along with the audiobooks. It’s been a good tool for learning and developing in your life and journey with […]
Complete scam. I tried to install the app but the app never installed properly and wouldn’t even open. I didn’t think anything of it until I was charged $42 for a 3 month subscription. Went online to cancel and was magically offered a year subscription for the low cost of 14.99. What they don’t tell […]
If you’re into self help books but not big on reading long books all the time like me, then this is perfect! I love how you get to choose the topics that you’re interested in. My favorite feature of this app is the goals for how many minutes you’d like to read each day. There’s […]
This app saves tons of time reading a book to see if it’s worth keeping. Lots of books I read these days regurgitate many key points, so this app keeps me from buying books that basically say the same thing. I have even become encouraged to read the whole book when the summary leaves me […]
I love this app! I canceled my subscription because I don’t want to be surprised with a big charge when it renews. I’m not sure if I’m renewing. My subscription doesn’t end for another 2 months and I’m being bombarded with pop ups and reminders to renew and resubscribe. Save that for later!! Maybe closer […]
App works about half of the time, even when downloaded. Then they charge your card multiple times a day every 3 months, even though you have purchased an annual membership. THEN, when you email customer service(they dont offer a live person or phone call), they send you generic responses that dont address your issue and […]
