Not worth it. I was even charged for an additional product with the "introductory offer" and when I contacted them immediately, they said they don't charge anything I didn't sign up for(so beware, because I have no idea how I signed up for the additional $20 month item, on top of the original subscription) and I would not be refunded. The product is a nice novelty for self help, but not worth $50.

I’ve completed 340+ nonfiction books across personal growth, finance, communication, and productivity. Headway helps me keep learning in small pockets of time. I use the audio summaries while driving, which turns everyday time into growth time. It’s great for previewing books and deciding what to read in full. Clear, practical, and easy to stay consistent with.

I should have read the reviews before I signed up for this app. I did the free trial and was charged $20 a month after the free trial ended which I was ok with because I liked the app. After 3 months my bank statement showed a $20 charge and a $50 charge on the same day. I contacted headway immediately and they said the $50 charge was for a 3-month subscription. So I'm getting charged for a monthly subscription plus a 3-month subscription? Of course they refused to refund my money. I CANCELLED!
