I signed up for the 7 days trial. Upon signing up, my card was immediately charged for the full year of subscription- I cancelled it immediately (on the same day). The app misleaded me to make a purchase and that is WRONG on so many levels. I reached out to the Headway team for a refund and they only gotten back 5 days later telling me to get refund from Google Play, but Play can only refund purchases made in past 48 hours- so obviously I CAN'T get a refund (you know too well). Disappointed.

This one is the most fraud app I ever experienced in my life, don't Install it. It will be debited automatically from your account. This app doesn't provide any security service while payment, that's why I lose my 4990 rupees without getting any service. here I want to say that stay away from this application, you will find a better app than this

Scammy selling techniques. They quote high subscription prices to new users, then when you go to cancel they offer the original monthly price as a yearly subscription rate instead (a 90% discount!!). Feels gross and exploitative. Content was also very shallow (which was why I was cancelling in the first place, wasn't worth the original price). To everyone trying it out - ensure to cancel before your trial ends to take advantage of the discount!
