Good concept but summaries lack depth
The app is quite useful for quickly getting summaries of books and getting a general idea of their content. The concept is good, and the interface is user-friendly.
However, having read some of the full books myself, I’ve noticed that some summaries don’t fully capture the most important ideas or key principles. They often lack concrete examples and the depth that a complete book provides. So, while Headway is a convenient tool for quick insights, it definitely cannot replace reading the entire book for a full understanding.
Also, the quality of summaries can be quite uneven, which affects the overall experience.
In short, Headway is a handy app for getting a taste of many books, but it’s important to remember its limitations as a summary tool.

Oct 10, 2025Hi there,
We are sorry to hear the app did not match your expectations.
Our leading idea is to let people get essential knowledge from summarised books for 15 minutes and help them crush their goals afterward.
Reading summaries could be a good way for readers to familiarise themselves with crucial book ideas the author wanted to deliver and decide whether the full book is worth their attention and further reading 😉️ If you have any suggestions to improve our app even further, please feel free to share them at support@get-headway.com.
Thanks for giving it a try!
Best, Headway Team
