Headway Reviews

Worth it

I used to be an avid reader but somehow life always gets in the way these days. I don't enjoy longform audio books because I only ever have 20-30 minute snippets of time and you lose the sense of flow jumping in and out in such short bursts. I love that with Headway I can put something on whilst i'm driving somewhere for 20 minutes and get an entire book summary in that time, so I feel like I've both learned and achieved something. The summaries could be a little bit clearer/better at times, but overall, I think the concept and delivery is brilliant and I am using it loads.

Good app to 'learn' some important books. Missing some major languages in voice and text (Portuguese language - pt-PT - hopefully is coming). It already has the top 3/5 languages. Portuguese is no. 6.

Sometimes it feels like some important things from the book are missing. The app should have a button to choose between a 20-minute mode and a 40-minute mode. The 40-minute option would cover much more and leave room for examples too. If content is king, it fell a bit short in that regard. I know the app’s purpose is 15-minute reads, but users would get more value if we like a book and want to know more about it.

Not sure why this app was available for a lifetime deal. I first saw it on an Instagram ad and used it for a while. In my opinion, it is the better Blinklist, but this is only my opinion.
When you want to learn new things and this gets available, get your hands on it.

I’ve been using it for a few days only, but I really like it so far, and I think I’ll keep using it daily for a very long time!
