Headway: Daily Book Summaries - Latest Quality Issues

I don't like it. It charges you for other app extensions without you realizing it.

Total fraud. You waste 10 minutes answering a bunch of stupid questions and when you finish they tell you that you have to pay to use the entire app. You can't do anything if you don't previously associate a credit card. Scams

Horrible experience, I paid for my subscription and I can't access the account because I simply can't register and I can't cancel because to do so I have to enter the App, which I can't do. The worst thing is that the subscription is automatic.

A wide variety of books on various topics, which I would definitely change if a summary flowed and it didn't pause out of nowhere every so often (I have a subscription). Also, having the possibility of deactivating that automatic message that encourages you, this can be useful for people with little discipline, but for people who have the habit it becomes boring and disconnects you from the book itself.

deception and rip-off
I tried it (15€ trial month) - got a notification to extend - wanted to cancel. It doesn't work and support doesn't answer me! Beware of the trap!

Waste of money
If you can get past poor narration (stilted robotic-sounding voices and incomplete book summaries, then you may like this app. However, 95% of voices (no exaggeration) sound digitally spliced, like they record someone talking and then chop up their voice to use it over and over again in different summary narrations. It's very distracting and even when I did my best to ignore that aspect, their "Cliff Notes" summaries were sometimes too truncated that I think they missed some key points of books. Which leads me to my last problem with them and why I would strongly recommend using any other company - their selection of books is extremely (!!) limited. Overall, a waste of money and not worth $10, never mind $30. I'm guessing people that like it are immune to these issues that I've had with Headway.

It seems that the interface is made confusing on purpose, so that users fall into the subscription trap (with no right to cancel). Definitely an ideal trap for older people and novice mobile users. Lots of self-help to make you a better person, but little help to avoid being scammed. Anyway.

Regrettable, terrible. I made a 3-month subscription at a $19.90 offer 5 days ago. They already charged me an additional fee of $14.00, which was not what was agreed. I was informed via email that after 3 months I would be charged $259.90 every 3 months. I had to contact the bank to claim that the $14 payment was not recognized and I already asked for a change of card so that no additional charges would occur. AND DO YOU KNOW WHAT? THEY NEVER GAVE ME A PASSWORD AND A LOG IN...

I entered the free trial and tried it. It wasn't what I was looking for. I canceled the subscription and I received a debit of 63usd. I want my money back.
