I love these bite-sized summaries. They allow me to learn from books that have been on my reading list for a long time. As a busy mom, I don't have time to sit down and read, but with Headway I can listen on my way to work and get the key points. I like most of the narrator's voices, but one in particular is difficult to listen to so I skipped that summary. I wish there was a way to pick your narrator's voice. Some apps allow that.

love this concept of learning in micro lessons! I have a tendency to get sidetracked or easily distracted with topics because it's a lot to comprehend. but with headway, it allows you to get all the best parts of the book without having to read the entire book! thank you for this app. (even my vocabulary is increasing) :)

My bank flagged the original charges to this app as fraudulent, but I wrote it off as their algorithm being finicky or something. In less than a week there were multiple fraudulent charges placed on my card. Sure it COULD be coincidence, but I think not, considering this app is the only new place I spent any money. On top of the security issues, the summaries are AI generated so some of them are unlistenable. Not worth the money, even if you only lose the original amount.
