Some of the content is good, but a lot of it is read by AI and it doesn't sound natural, which makes listening not a pleasant experience. However my biggest problem with the app is that it keeps crashing and autopausing. There's even videos in YouTube about how to "fix" the issue but those fixes don't always work. I've stopped using the app because of this even when I got a lifetime subscription.

I'm hooked on Headway! it's hands down. The best audio book app on the market by leaps and bounds. I've learned so much over the past 3 weeks that have changed my life. I even purchased two books "Atomic Habits" & "The 80/20 Rule" because I wanted to read the full versions. definitely recommend to anyone looking to learn, you can also get a huge discount by purchasing at the end of the free trial.

the highlight option, while listening means I don't have to pause to write down the keynotes that I wanted to keep. the quick cliff notes of these books are great. during the quick quiz, it asked how much you're willing to put into the app a day. I went with 15 minutes and am finding many books in that time frame. but makes me wonder if I picked the 20 min option, if it would have given just a bit more into the summary 🤔
