First roadblocks toward consistent reading
Anelia Hencelova
I was always craving to read more frequently, but as I bought more and more books that piled up I was struggling to overcome discomfort of omitting books that seemed uninteresting, uninspiring, or uneasy. Which was very discouraging to me. Downloading Headway and skimming through summaries of books helped me understand which ones are actually worth reading to me, and which ones I can disregard guilt free. Microreadind book summaries everyday made me addicted to reading even more in a positive way, I am not only doing what I love, but also get the most out of it by having a chance to filter whatever info is irrelevant to my personal growth right now. It helped me to introduce reading back into my routine, which made TREMENDOUS effect of my life outlook, my self-confidence, and my achiever attitude. I do not view this app as a replacement for general “full book” reading, but as a facilitator of a great habit that can only benefit everyone. Thank you to EVERYONE who made this app and pushed it to the world: all the ideators, designers and developers that put immeasurably quality input in creating Headway. I had life changing effect on me, and I am forever thankful! Keep doing what you are doing, because it matters A LOT to at least one person on this planet😌😁(but i believe there are thousands of us already and hundred thousands to come with the same view)

Lacks majority of functions when not used in English. The same is achievable via AI and cheaper
sczdavos
When you change the language to something else then English the app suddenly lacks majority of functions. Summaries are translated and sometimes not as good. Voice when reading is good for ppl who like audio books but personally I can’t focus that well and especially for summaries I find it better to just read them. Also the app is built on marketing - the onboarding process uses everything to get money from you telling you extra deals time limited etc. You go for it and then you find out that the app is basically what you’d get if you’d ask ChatGPT to recommend and summarize a book for you. I liked the stories feature to be honest and plan and tests were also great but when I tried to switch to my native language they all disappeared and even switching back to English didn’t bring them back. So unless you’re a native English speaker or are too laze to use ChatGPT I’d stay away from this app - it’s expensive and not that special.
