Great Customer Service

I believe they are going through some growing pains. The app is a still little clunky. For example, if you are listening to a book, say while you’re on a treadmill and the book ends, they will start another book and often times it’s not even related to the one you were reading, and it doesn’t give you time to review the book you just listened to. Also their version of a library does not let you store books you might want to read, but it’s a list of books you have read and books you partially read and even rated badly. Everything seems to be put in that library makes it hard to find the things you might need in a normal library. But that said I enjoyed the app very much and give it five stars for trying. The cliff note versions of the books are very well done in most cases.In addition, this is the most important thing to me. Their customer service is excellent. I had a problem and at first I thought I was dealing with an AI version of customer service and probably was.. It did not resolve my problem. However, a real person must’ve read it and got back to me and eventually the problem was solved. So great customer service if you persevere. They apparently have REAL people solving your problems. WHICH IS VERY RARE TODAY!

It’s basically perfect, However there is still room improvement for this app to become successful

The fact, that you can listen to book summary for free before you have to spend money on a subscription that costs $15 per month is ridiculous how pricy it is just to listen to summaries when there is Apple Podcasts that allow you to listen for free, this is just way to get people to spend $15 per month just to listen to book summaries that should actually be for free like Apple Podcasts are free why can’t book summaries be free, this isn’t fair to anyone who enjoys to hear book summaries and yes it can prevent scrolling but the pricing being offered right away it’s unfair, However the pricing that it puts pressure onto the people who want to listen book summaries to pay right away just to continue listening to more than one is absolutely ridiculous. Please make this app free, podcasts should be meant for people to enjoy to be entertained not to just be forced to pay money. This is also just my opinion/perspective for someone who likes listening to book summaries/likes summaries. Please do consider making this app for free with no subscription just for people to enjoy, maybe just offer app-purchases of newly released book summaries that are like $5-$10, thank you for reading this review I hope you consider making these improvement to make this app become more of a success

I’m not a big reader !

I enjoy learning new things (mainly mechanical things) as much as I possibly can. But I also would like to absorb just as much as much knowledge in the areas of finance, personal growth, and health, but many if not all that info is locked away between two rectangle shaped pieces of hard cardboard wrapped in Vinyl or leather protecting many sheets of paper covered in black letters almost leaving no space to notice that the paper was once a white blank sheet. I’m not one to like having or hearing excuses, but having been diagnosed with ADHD later in my years, I always though day dreaming and reading went together, or trying to read focusing on what I read repeating the words to myself in my head would help me remember the text that I honestly wanted to remember. But just as I would repeat it to myself and finishing the chapter, I would remember bits a pieces and just like that all was forgotten. And not wanting to let people know, I would find ways to get others to explain their thoughts on the book and pretty much piece together a few people’s thoughts or take on said read, and come up with my own thoughts by taking things from each person’s rendering of the story to make my own. Since the first days of Audiobooks and realizing that’s how I can absorb the same things all the readers of the world are enjoying and learning about I was able to do the same and I never looked back. Headway has changed that with Audios for me because the areas I am eagerly looking for growth In they have summarized the books with the important info and compressed it into a short/summary allowing me to get the information I need in a timely manner allowing for multiple sources of info at a higher rate. It’s been awesome. A big thank you to the Headway Team.
