User Reviews
I am enjoying this app and each day the reads have given me more insight on myself to improve my bad habits. I recommend it to friends.
they also delete all progress and notes when you cancel a subscription. ridiculous
Yeah - all of a sudden doomscrolling brain rot has lost its appeal.
Their subscription model includes the Headway app and if you’re not careful, you can easily get conned into a separate subscription for the visualized best Sellers. I found the process of understanding what subscriptions I had and canceling the subscriptions was convoluted. At best. To me, a company who stands behind the quality and value of their product should make it a priority to provide clarity and ease of subscription management for users. Anything less suggests a revenue model that partly depends on the friction built into the system to manage and cancel the subscriptions
Was super to easy to use. I enjoyed it very much so. Always wanted something like this. An app to paraphrase a book. It’s awesome. You get all the good stuff and leave the rest behind. You’ll love it! Try it for sure!
Beware of purchasing, especially directly from Headway. They make it impossible to cancel and do not offer refunds.
Please Refund my Money of $89.99! Thank you!
Let this app help you grow up.
I paid three dollars for this app to get the results of a political test I took. I did not know that I was signing up for a $30 a month trial. After seven days they provided me not one follow up message before I was charged the $30. Within the hour, I contacted their support page and request requested a refund and canceled my policy myself. I was promptly denied and was told no refund would be issued. It’s very saddening to see such a great app that promotes such great values for parents and kids use shady tactics, and to not help their customers. While it is in the terms of service, it would’ve been great for a heads up or to simply not sign somebody up for a $30 a month program automatically when they get the seven day three dollar trials. I recommend recommended this app to my friends and have just alerted them to cancel their trials as well as they would no doubt I’ve been charged. For a learning app I wish they would learn to be better.
The focus I wanted from this app so far isn’t what I feel I am getting. The books are much broader around the topic. I figured with a name like headway it would be more focused specifically.
I paid a small amount of money to review the results of an online assessment. To access the results, I was forced to download an app, review tons of top-up offers (“pay $19 for info graphics!”) and then was encouraged to buy an expensive subscription on the app. When I declined all of these things, I was unable to access my assessment results. I want my $2.00 back.
Opened my mind to a new view point
