I thought i would receive notification when the free trial was ending but I didn't receive anything. I 3 love the interface, its not easy to navigate and I don't see a ton of books that I am interested in acces sing. the audio / voices used are extremely flat in the books I have found which makes it very hard to want to pay attention. I would not waste your moneym

I should have read the reviews before I signed up for this app. I did the free trial and was charged $20 a month after the free trial ended which I was ok with because I liked the app. After 3 months my bank statement showed a $20 charge and a $50 charge on the same day. I contacted headway immediately and they said the $50 charge was for a 3-month subscription. So I'm getting charged for a monthly subscription plus a 3-month subscription? Of course they refused to refund my money. I CANCELLED!

I’ve completed 340+ nonfiction books across personal growth, finance, communication, and productivity. Headway helps me keep learning in small pockets of time. I use the audio summaries while driving, which turns everyday time into growth time. It’s great for previewing books and deciding what to read in full. Clear, practical, and easy to stay consistent with.
