Complete scam. I tried to install the app but the app never installed properly and wouldn't even open. I didn't think anything of it until I was charged $42 for a 3 month subscription. Went online to cancel and was magically offered a year subscription for the low cost of 14.99. What they don't tell you until you click accept is that it's after the current billing cycle so in summary I paid over $42 for an app that I've never once opened. Steer clear of these scammers

I love this app! I canceled my subscription because I don't want to be surprised with a big charge when it renews. I'm not sure if I'm renewing. My subscription doesn't end for another 2 months and I'm being bombarded with pop ups and reminders to renew and resubscribe. Save that for later!! Maybe closer to the sub end date. I'm just trying to use the app normally and you guys act like I'm gone already. Annoying.

Hi! We're sorry for the inconvenience. Subscriptions are renewed automatically at the end of each billing cycle. To avoid future charges, subscriptions should be canceled at least 24 hours before the next renewal date. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at support@get-headway.com.

If you're into self help books but not big on reading long books all the time like me, then this is perfect! I love how you get to choose the topics that you're interested in. My favorite feature of this app is the goals for how many minutes you'd like to read each day. There's 5, 10, 15, and 20 which are all practical for everyone's busy lives. Well worth it to improve yourself!
