As the title suggests, I’m a long time subscriber to headway and was very excited to see a lifetime model for their summaries. This tier was better than the 19.99/yr model I had previously.

However, just this week I found they have implemented a new tier system which completely blocked me from a summary I was IN THE MIDDLE OF READING prompting me to upgrade with another one time payment.

I lost my streak in the confusion of why it was asking me to do another “lifetime payment” when I had just set up the appsumo purchase and was mid book when this happened. I ended up finding a new book and that one worked, which made me realize the max thing was something different.

I now see many of their “best” books are behind this new paywall. It’s sad because I’ve been with them for a while and was recommending their services to a lot of people.

Now? I want to look and see if my appsumo deal is still within 60 days because I don’t want to play this game of access or not? 😂

Headway was a great way to learn high level concepts, but I am disappointed the appsumo community got their lifetime access right before a lot of their content gets pulled away for another fee.
