### 3/5 — Meditations

*2026-08-23, version 394.6*

I like the format of the headspace meditations. The guidance is more detailed. Ie headway will say now relax your body… headspace will say relax your body starting with your jaw, shoulders and so forth. I still tip this app over headspace for many reasons, so my only feedback right now is the meditation

### 2/5 — App is ok / hard to cancel

*2026-08-23, version 394.6*

Cancelled my subscription through the app but was still charged £39.99 at next billing cycle.

Contacted support and was told that I also had an extra subscription for infographics (?) that was still active and I should have cancelled that too.

I think it’s a sneaky way of getting another payment before users notice and are then told it won’t be refunded because of ‘policies’

Bad form imo

### 5/5 — Best team ever

*2026-08-22*

Support is incredible, they’re fast, they listen, they solve.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you had a positive experience with our support team. Your feedback is truly appreciated! Kind regards, Headway Team

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-08-21, version 394.6*

As a disabled soldier I struggle to focus reading so this is great

### 4/5 — Cancelled

*2026-08-21, version 394.6*

Roman helped me with my cancellation, and he was very helpful. Thanks

### 5/5 — Mind nourishing

*2026-08-21, version 394.6*

I like the variety of content in the App. Good for daily commutes.

### 5/5 — Amando

*2026-08-21*

Ainda estou no período grátis mas tenho certeza que vou fazer a assinatura! Estou amando os títulos e esse formato de aprendizado!! Deveria ter baixado antes!

**Developer response:** Ficamos muito felizes em saber que está gostando da experiência! Agradecemos o seu feedback positivo e vamos passar para a equipe responsável. Atenciosamente, Headway.

### 4/5 — Headed in the right direction

*2026-08-21, version 394.6*

Nice idea, easy way to access a variety of helpful content without needing to read entire books. Provides a nice mix of articles and self help guides in an easy format. Certainly cheaper than a therapist- but not the “be -it- end-all”, rather a helpful supplement.

### 5/5 — A custom approach

*2026-08-20, version 394.6*

I never liked reading in general just because I always thought of myself as a slow reader. But after using Headway and being able to understand the books I wanted to read. I feel like I’m learning the knowledge that I’ve always wanted from the books that I thought would take a long time but every time it explains key factors I feel like I’m not just reading a book, but I’m actually educating myself on a topic I thought it would take long to understand.

### 5/5 — Follow Up To Previous Review

*2026-08-20, version 394.6*

I’m so THANKFUL for the Headway Support team! There was a shipping error on one of my orders that took some time to sort through. Headway made sure to make it right and not only quickly corrected the issue but threw in a bonus product for all the trouble. I really love their stuff and having responsive Customer Service (especially these days) really shows the difference between well run companies and those that are not. I’m very thankful and appreciative for their team, product, and help! Highly recommend.

### 4/5 — Enjoying how simple it is

*2026-08-20, version 394.6*

Few minutes a day on the way to work

### 1/5 — Scammers

*2026-08-25, version 394.6*

I didn’t really enjoy using this app. I have canceled my subscription multiple times and they still deduct payment from my account. I don’t what else I should they would stop!!!

### 1/5 — Scammed

*2026-08-24, version 394.6*

Cancelled my subscription and they continue to charge my card. Tried to contact them and no response. Complete scam

### 1/5 — Deceptive

*2026-08-23, version 394.6*

Facebook ad implied a curated course on a single subject. This is not the case. Simply summaries of books. Poor

### 1/5 — Subscription and payment issues

*2026-08-22, version 394.6*

Cancelled subscription in May and they are still trying to take money. Cancelled my debit card got a new and they got the new number somehow and still tried to take more money! I’m on my Third new debit card since May!! It’s August!!

### 1/5 — Scam, they keep billing after you cancel

*2026-08-21, version 394.6*

I unsubscribe and so did my husband we both experienced the same thing where they continued to bill us. They have several unethical design patterns to try and trick people into staying subscribed. Scam - never again!

### 1/5 — Cancelled but still took money

*2026-08-20, version 394.6*

Not happy, nowhere to show subscription on App Store so money kept leaving and wasn't cancelled

### 1/5 — Refund please

*2026-08-20, version 394.6*

I ended my subscription on 30 April 2026 but I am still being charged every month! Please advise how I can get this resolved. Thanks

### 1/5 — 이유없는결제

*2026-08-19*

작년에 보고 한글로 광고왔는데 죄다 영어였는데 구독시스템인가요?? 황당하네요 작년에 한글지원도 안돼면서 한글로 광고하더니.. 환불해주세요.

### 1/5 — An Extremely Money Hungry App

*2026-08-18, version 394.6*

I just wanted to check my stance on the political compass, when it made me pay £0.99. I didn’t not think much of it first and happily paid the small sum of money, however they did not send an e-mail to me like promised, and instead directed me to their app, after downloading, I was greeted with a mass amount of subscriptions and etc, which I cannot access my score without, trying to make me pay an extra £23.99, just to see my results! Horrible behaviour and completely greedy and unprofessional

### 1/5 — AI voice is a tough listen

*2026-08-17, version 394.6*

This simply can’t compete with listening to an author present their own book. Audiobooks take longer, but have better depth, and a less grating voice.

### 5/5 — … & More!

*2026-08-26, version 394.6*

Just getting started & was prompted to review so I can’t say much in specific but what I can tell you is Headway is SO much more than a “Cliff Notes” app I was expecting. There are lots of great titles in the library and I was even offered downloadable resources to promote  my growth. I’ll be sure to update my review if anything changes, for better or worse. GL y’all!

### 5/5 — Getting to the meat

*2026-08-25, version 394.6*

I use the app as a refresher on books I’ve read. Concise and to the point!

### 5/5 — Quick and easy

I enjoy the digestible knowledge

### 5/5 — Review

### 5/5 — Forever Learner

*2026-08-23, version 394.6*

This is a great tool to learn so much in such a little time… if you love learning and reading this is a great app to invest in.

### 5/5 — Yuliia was the best

### 5/5 — Am I Spoiled

*2026-08-22, version 394.6*
