Short and to the main points. This is great for anyone who may be experiencing information overload, short attention spans, or just like to catch an excerpt to find if they would like to buy the full read. I've purchased several full reads between full audiobooks and books in hand because Headway allows me to "speed read" through their selections.

for those of us who want to get straight to the point, this is a great tool. I dropped one star because it seems that many of the books are read by an AI voice (though it's a good AI voice) and none of them have any gaps in the info so the brain can digest for a moment. if there was a little 5 second music break after each chapter or something i think I'd retain better.

They offer 70٪ discount but never gets applied. I signed up for the free trial which auto-renews by default. During the trial I was offered a 70٪ discount over email and I clicked the link and it looked it was applied but upon renewal I was charged the full amount of $87.88 which I think is too much for what you get. I sent an email, the only way you can contact Headway, and received a ticket number through and automatic reply. After that crickets regardless of multiple follow up efforts.
