Hello everyone I just started an application named Headway and I am well pleased with the system it has curated with many best selling books. The audiobooks are excellent and you have the option to read along with the audiobooks. It's been a good tool for learning and developing in your life and journey with anything that you have interest in. I like the fact that it tracks your use and progress to reflect back to manage time. I recommend it to anyone who listens or reads.

You get a 7 day trial and then you have to pay. That wasn't anywhere in the description! And it's pretty important for something which boasts with a 28 days plan. If they aren't honest with that from the start, you can bet there will be more dark design marketing tricks later on. Edit: confirmed. Just went through the critical reviews and lots of people are getting charged for bogus stuff. Response: If they were up front about it, it would state it in the description on the play store.

They showed a different e-mail address in the app than the one I subscribed with, so that it didn't appear on my subscriptions there... Now paying for a whole extra year of this app. It's not bad, but it's quite far from being good. Content exhausts quickly, readers' voices are extremely monotonous, and the main takeaways of books are often not summarized well.
