Refund

Anastasia worked very quickly and efficiently to resolve my issue. She read the issue details thoroughly and acted on them resulting in a good outcome.

Additional charges

Signed up for 1 month and was charged an additional £20 for no reason or with no explanation. Have messaged support asking for full refund as the content doesn’t justify the cost and I don’t like the lack of transparency

Love it

One of my apps!! Wish there was access to the full book though after reading the summaries because there’s a few I’d love to read the whole book on!!

An absolute MUST

I’ve subscribed to Headway for 3 years now. The knowledge I’ve gained is simply priceless. “You don’t know what you don’t know” and this app helps you discover those unknowns. Subscribe. It will absolutely help.

Customer service

Yuliia was extremely helpful and resolved my problem immediately. I hope to rejoin soon when I have more time, this is a great product.

They billed me twice

They billed me twice for $89 when I signed up and there is no way to contact them to get my money back. Do not get this app

They got rid of quizzes

They got rid of quizzes for no reason and the percentage of readers you’ve read more than and your book summary.

Addictive

I can’t stop. It’s so interesting.

DO NOT DOWNLOAD

Do not download I’ve been charged £74 as the free period ended but I was not reminded like every other apps on free trial periods and it’s daylight robbery! Disgusting and now won’t allow my review to be posted

Not actually free

Technically free app, but once you download you can’t do anything for free. Might be a cool app, but I wish they were honest if it’s free or not

Customer Support

I’d tried to cancel my subscription as I was not using the app as much and was still being charged so I contacted support and spoke with Zore. So turned out I hadn’t actually cancelled it correctly so Zore managed to find my account and cancelled it swiftly for me. Thanks Zore

Cancellation

Hi, I was very pleased with the level of service I received from Adam. He replied promptly to my cancellation enquiry and confirmed my request had been completed. Thank you so much Adam.

used to be 5 stars :(

The summaries themselves are pretty good. Everything else is horrible. They have added in all these features that make the app super messy and inconvenient. For example, when I finish a summary, instead of the next book being a book I saved into my library, the app recommends a completely random book. And there is no setting to change this. Also, over the past couple years, the home screen has become an absolute mess. There is even an AI chatbot thing on the front page labeled as “Seveet chat: A safe place to ask anything” like what are we doing? This is a book summary app, not BetterHelp. It’s really annoying that these features, and the recommended book summaries, are forced down your throat with 0 settings that allow you to adjust any of this to your liking. Really disappointing. And I’ve messaged with support many times over the years and they refuse to add any customization settings.

Impressed with the team

Had an issue with my trial converting early. The support rep explained everything patiently and processed a refund without any hassle. Great customer care.

Excelente atención

Tuve un problema con un cobro no reconocido. Zore del equipo de soporte respondió rápido y solucionó todo sin complicaciones. Muy agradecido por la atención.

Something new

Love having a new book to read everyday

Use it daily

Headway is part of my morning routine. Takes 15 minutes. I write notes in a small notebook I carry. The key is reviewing the notes. The routine alone is helpful. Acting on new knowledge to build new skills is essential.

Speedy customer service

This is a good resource and the customer service team were quick to respond to a query I had- Roman kindly resolved this for me in super fast time 👍🏻

So many titles

Truly my best purchase.
