Version 249.1
There’s probably nothing worse than trying to read and choose between books and being forced to constantly tap on crappy boxes with meaningless discounts.
Also, if you need someone to summarize a book into bite sized quotes, there’s no point in reading the book. Books are a journey, a glimpse into the writer’s mind and thought process.
You miss out on the rich life examples and stories that authors have used to drive home their lessons, which are more memorable than the lessons themselves. This sign a replacement for reading, it’s simply meant to cater to all those who “wish they read that book”.
Train your attention span, don’t be a victim to the age of information overload.

Please work on listening speed

 – 
Anuj3918

2023-08-10
Version 1.2.16
I love the content on the app but please work on two things. First is that we should have more options of speed selection such as 0.8x or 0.9x. Sometimes 0.75x is too slow and 1x is too fast to comprehend quickly. I need a sweet spot that’s somewhere around 0.85x. Also you can remove 0.5x and 1.5x as hardly anyone would use those. Second is to work on the accent of audio delivery. Some content has good narration that feels like coming from a person while some feel quite robotic, especially the harder pronunciations. Please work on these 2 aspects quickly. Rest everything is solid so a job well done. Kudos to the team.

The summaries are really helpful

I think in today’s fast moving world with lot of distractions ppl don’t get the mental bandwidth to read a book. I try to read a lot but even if I read regularly I can’t read as much as I want to read right ? So headway is really helpful as it gives you crux with few examples which is enough for our us to understand and apply that in life. Great app!

The Headway app has proven to be incredibly useful and effective in achieving its purpose. Ever since I installed it, my listening skills have noticeably improved.

Version 106.1
1) I was supposed to sign up for a week of free trial but the app cunningly & deliberately misguided towards a 1 year signup of 4,199 INR for a year which is clearly not worth it because it’s a useless app you would be forced to read the book anyways
2) Mediocre experience, summaries are too short and uses AI voice model, you can easily do the same with chatgpt & text to speech reader
3) Payment was through UPI mandate which is only available in India so Headway team was unable to issue refund and they guided to apple service but Apple services also refused to give refund without telling any reason

Amazing, Inspiring, life changing

We often scoff at self help books, writing them off as platitude and theoretical. However, the summaries provided in Headway and succinct and something we can read when we have small minutes to ourselves - like while waiting for coffee, between quick minutes of work break, etc. the book selections are also that which amps up my morale and keeps me feeling like “I got this” through the day. We all need a little push once in a while because we forget the things we are capable of doing. Headway can give you that

Version 172.6
I would give this app a 4/5 if it wasn’t for the sheer cunningness of the UI design. Using this app without unknowingly initiating a payment or subscription is like walking through a mine field. It’s almost offending how easy it is to unknowingly make a payment in contrast to how many clicks you need to unsubscribe. It’s almost laughable. Anyways I hope the app designers can make the payments more informed as a lot of people may just unknowingly click approve on stuff they don’t even want. I’ve used a lot of software and am a developer myself and never have I seen an app that is this deceptive in terms of in app purchases. Even I, having used so many apps in the past, was deceived into buying some stupid unwanted add on. So please be aware while using it.

Some of the book summaries are AI Generated

I love this app. It’s a gift to a new mother who loves reading and doesn’t have the time to hold a book or listen to the whole audio book. Love the brief summaries which are to the point.

Headway has helped me consolidate crucial points from a book that I’d rather save time on than to use my time reading through unnecessary information that may not be of any relevance to me. If I do want to learn more it mentions the chapter number and thereby exactly guiding me to the place where it might’ve consolidated the information from. (That’s if you’ve bought the book.) I’ve had a good time reading away through information and It has especially helped me learn more in less time. :)

I love reading and learning from books. But from sometime, I was away from reading. Headway brought my lost love of reading back onto my life. Most books today are not so dense at would be a classic like “The Prince” so reading them as a short summation of main points is not only efficient but also helpful as it’s easier to remember the messages in the book.
I bought it’s premium plan on discount and it is proving to be the best investment I have made in a long time.
I wish I had found it sooner.

They do not send upcoming renewal reminder. When they renew for next year. And if you ask for refund because you not gonna use app for whole next year. They won’t refund. In short they want to charge you even if you don’t want to use their service. They don’t have confidence on their product quality so they don’t send you upcoming payment renewal reminder. And do not refund you wven if you are not using their app. Unethical practice! Fraudulent!

I was really curious about the app, but the “onboarding” took forever. I understand that you want me to create a profile, set goals, understand my interest,etc. but how do you expect me to trust the app when I haven’t even used it yet?
I was hoping to see a skip option but apart from the registration screen it didn’t exist. I answered maybe 15 questions and gave up, deleted the app.
Gosh! That’s minutes I am never going to get back.

If you love reading and you don’t find enough time to read books, this app will help you to understand the key and summary of book in 15mins. You spend 15mins to understand the key point and if the book got your attention then get and the book and read completely.

I somehow found this app to be useful and I decided to install this!! And thank god I read the reviews about getting charged against your will ..
I saw the first 5 star review where he told about how he was saved by other reviews and I decided to read the others … 6900 INR charged for so many people without thier consent is actually a fraud and I wish this app to be taken down or Atleast get thier refund thing rectified
P.S. - I deleted the app without even opening it … it may be a click bait .. read the reviews before you open

Living occupied on a tight schedule? This is your app

I love the fact that Headway is able to recommend great books without me having to actually search for them. I love to be able to get a short time of the day to learn some gold from many amazing book summaries on here.

I am using the 7 day trial now. i saw reviews so didnt touch months or year or anything.. just pressed trial and it started.. later i went and unsubscribed from apple subscriptions. But i am actually liking the app now.. Instead of wasting time to read whole book this gist type is cool for people like me. also, with audio option in it its great. i am actually thinking of subscribing this instead of audible lol.. but this kinda looks bit pricey. would request developers to reduce cost

Refund my INR 6900 plus tax

This is a big marketing scam. On my apple receipt it says subscription = free week trial and below that it says amount charged INR 6900 plus 18% GST. You have named your plan as free week trial to lure customers into thinking this is a free trial and then you charge the money. This is horrible. No response from your support team as well. You need to refund my hard earned money ASAP!!!
Apple - you need to remove this app looking the hundreds of complaints regarding this scam of a company.

Terrible experience

Although I have taken a year long subscription. It keeps asking me to subscribe again. I have written to the support team. Never hear back from the headway team on my complaints. Do not waste your money on this app!!!

I am so disappointed with the way you people are stealing money from users . It’s disgusting . This is no way one should operate . Take this review very seriously . how you can charge me around 7000 Rs just cuz i use free trial without confirmation or reminder, and charge me ONE YEAR PLAN!!! it's unacceptable what happened, and now i cant find refund page or plan page. I WANT MY MONEY BACK. You cannot charge people saying it’s free for a week.. what kind of fraud is that . Refund the money and show some professionalism pls . And make sure you don’t do this to anyone in future .

Bad trial option is a problem but the app is way better than Blinkist.

Book selections are awesome. The spaced repetition and highlights are good features. I wish they add real cover pages of books than stock pictures. I stopped using Blinkist after downloading this app
Also. Fix the trial issue.

Payed for Subscription, but it has disappeared +CHARGED ME IN TRAIL PHASE

Don’t Download this app, their customer service is useless and will leave you hanging.
First of all don’t take the trail cause they’ll charge you before the date, and now I switched phones and I can’t get my subscription back.

A great app for speed reading

I love this app and have been using it for 1 year. It has a good collection of books. The summary is succinct and well written. The audio summary and quality is also very good. Overall, a smart way of reading a lot more in a lot less time.

I changed my subscription from the default yearly subscription to a 3 months subscription by clicking on “see other plans”, for using after the free trial. It asked me will ask you for my fingerprint ID to confirm the transaction like apple usually does even for a free subscription but I ended up charged for a 3 month subscription thinking i’m going for a 7 day free trial. That is a cheating user flow or should I say deceptive. They won’t refund you and will ask you to contact apple support instead.

If you’re going for a free trial, don’t change your subscription from the default yearly subscription to one month or 3 months subscription by clicking on “see other plans”, or it will ask you for your fingerprint ID and you will end up buying the subscription thinking you’re going for a 7 day free trial. This is a deceptive user flow. I changed from the default yearly subscription to monthly for using after the free trial. But they had already charged me. They won’t refund you and will ask you to contact apple support instead.

This one don’t deserve even half of a star but they won’t take my review until I give any star

I’ve taken the free trial from this app for 7 days, but afterwards it charged for the yearly subscription which I never wanted to buy and how come you take that everyone would go only for yearly service, they might take monthly service first.
Why did this app have charged me for yearly service ? I haven’t picked this YEARLY OPTION
I would not recommend anybody to have your service. I’ve used a whole lot of applications but my experience has been worst with this one.
Even customer support number is not available with this one, I’ve wasted my money on such a terrible stuff.
I haven’t used a bit of it and the payment happened just a couple of minutes ago.
I WANT MY MONEY BACK ASAP
Worst app of the lifetime ‼️

This is with regards to your app which I had opted for and had gone for free trail of one month. Later I found that it was not exactly what I was looking for So I deleted the app on the 5th or 6th day of free trail and never logged in again .
It also assured to give a reminder message 2 days prior to the end of the free trail. But surprisingly I did not get any message. Today suddenly the amount of Rs 4999/- is debited my account for one year subscription.
Kindly revert for my complaint and refund my money as soon as possible.

I demand a refund of the 4,999/- that was taken from me without my prior consent of the transaction. My kid went ahead for the trial offer and not seeing the purchase amount which would be deducted. There are many reviews here where customers have not agreed to this deceptive practice and have been made to pay. This is absolutely unfair and quite shocking to see that an organisation like this one has resorted to such unfair methods. I want my refund within the next 2- 3 days otherwise I will escalate this to the consumer courts.

Unethical Business Format by the App

To start with the app doesn’t let you read the full book , but only the gist of it or you may say it’s kind of book review by someone from their team. This low level book review may ruin your book experience for ever.
Secondly , the audio reading of the book stopped as soon as I paid (by mistake)for yearly subscription .
Further , when I try to contact to the team with an umpteen no of emails. There is no reply ( I think the email given in the app doesn’t exist at all)
A fraudster app, pls refrain from downloading.

Refund the money ASAP

Hello,
I’ve unsubscribed myself from the trial period and from my apple account and I’ve not used the app ever since I downloaded. Now, I’ve been deducted money for a year’s subscription for 6900/- which is a huge amount for me during this pandemic and the app is not useful for me. I didn’t expect such a fraudulent act from a reputed company like you. It is so disheartening to see even after the free trial expired long back and I’ve personally unsubscribed from my Apple ID, still you’ve deducted the money. The trust that we had for App Store has all gone. We believed in the app & App Store and hence have provided our card details. Is this the way you creep into our account and steal away our hard earned money. This is totally unfair and unethical. I would kindly request you to revoke the subscription and refund my money back asap.
Regards,
Sangeetha

Please refund my money

Hi Team,
I have signed up for the app a week back. I wanted to opt in for a free trial and check the features but somehow got charged INR6900 for an annual subscription. I would
Like to cancel it and get my money back. This is a lot of money for me and I cannot afford to spend so much on an app. I have already mailed the support team thrice, but they do not reply. I hope you understand my problem and will Process my request soon.
I am highly disappointed with this and will also be writing to the App Store team to take these applications down, if I do not get my money back.

I had downloaded the app and was using it under trial version. One week later I get a message from my bank saying 6,900 Rupees was deducted from my account and I was shocked. I was not informed about this deduction nor did I choose a plan for my renewal. I was under a FREE trial which charged me later. This is totally unacceptable and I request the app developer team to contact me immediately for the refund. I was thinking of using the app but this made me regret downloading this.
Others, PLEASE BE AWARE OF THIS SCAM.

Hi,
I have availed your free trial for the App on 30 Dec 2019. This is a nice app but I hardly get time to use it. So I had decided to unsubscribe before the trial period was expired. But on 5 Jan 2020, I received the message from bank that said the amount RS. 6900 deducted from my account.
That was couple of hours before I was going to unsubscribe. The amount was huge and really means a lot to me. I would need to get the amount back.
I have already send you an email for the same after hour or two on the same day 5 Jan 2020.
Thank you!
P.S. it’s been 4 days since I have raised above concern over the support email. Please reply on the same. I am really worried.

I am not able to read the content even after purchasing the subscription, there is a bug in your application. After clicking on read inside the book page, it takes to buy plan page and after that it shows successfully purchased but still can’t access the content. Pls look into it asap.

Dear Headway Team,
I have already written to you earlier on Sunday. Expecting a reply from your end.
I request to please refund my amount of INR 6,900/- deducted day before yesterday all of a sudden from my account wrongly against your app subscription.
There was no intimation on prior for the amount to be deducted, I din't receive any email informing me about the same. It's shocking and disappointing to see such act been done by an esteemed organisation like yours. Completely dissatisfied. Feels like cheated by your reputed company.
I am not interested in this app and would earnestly request you to please refund my money. It's my hard earned money and even I don't want your app subscription. It's a huge amount for me.
Please let me know if any other information is required from my side.
Please look into this matter with utmost priority. Expecting a positive and prompt response from your end.

I enjoy reading and downloaded the app to try it out. The paid version is expensive but since it had a free trial period, I thought I’d try it for a week and then delete it. I did not receive a notification for the end of the free trial period and realised only when the subscription amount was debited from my account. I request for a refund as I barely used the app and simply forgot to delete it. Request for a refund, I would really appreciate it.
