I never agreed to take out a subscription, yet I was subsequently charged without my consent. By the time I noticed several charges on my credit card, I was unable to obtain a refund. Headway mostly gives the illusion of learning: the summaries are far too superficial and strip away all nuance. The app prioritizes quick consumption over genuine, lasting understanding. Its added value is limited compared with the many free resources available, which are often far more insightful !

seems like it "could" be a good app. there's a 7 day free trail, but they don't let you have the free trail unless you give them credit card info. my suggestions is if the app really is as good as it claims, let people try the app without the financial commitment and then once the free trail is over lock the access. I've tried other apps that let you actually try the app, then make you sign up for the subscription after the 7 days is up.

Hi! Google Play requires card details to start any trial — it’s their rule for the whole platform. You won’t be charged as long as you turn off auto-renew in your Play settings before the trial ends. If you’d like help with that, email support+playstore@get-headway.com and we’ll walk you through it.

It's not exactly what I wanted, it's clear that self help books are way more popular than they should be imo but there are gems that should be universally a must read. Giving a book a try with this app is surprisingly reasonable. I do feel like some books need to be experienced first hand while the current popular genre of self help doesn't require to be fully consumed as they are not artistic nor entertaining in nature. The app gives you the general gist, which again is more than enough.
