Headway: Self-Growth Challenge is a free-to-download educational application developed by Books Made Easy Corp for mobile devices. It's a book-reading help app that makes it easy for users to discover and read from a personalized and curated selection of books based on their interests and specific subject matter.

What makes Headway: Self-Growth Challenge unique from other book reading apps like Aldiko Book Reader or FBReader is in the way it presents books to readers. It offers users condensed versions of popular nonfiction titles, with all but the most important points, digestible in under 15 minutes.

How does it work exactly?

They say growth and learning are lifelong processes, and what better way to consume essential knowledge and information than by reading books. As much as you would want to sit down with a good book, time won't always permit you to do so. Whether it's due to work, family, or other obligations, some schedules don't allow for much flexibility. This is where book-reading apps like Headway: Self-Growth Challenge can help.

This app creates a highly curated list of titles based on your preference and topics of interest that matter the most for you. Its catalog comprises mostly non-fiction choices and is geared toward educational, references, and self-help purposes. What makes it special is that it's a summarized version that focuses on providing essential insights and talking points, which can be read in under 15 minutes.

You also have the option to consume audio versions instead. There's even a handy vocabulary feature that lets you look up and learn new words. Do note that while the app is free, the service itself is a subscription-based one. It does offer a seven-day free trial, though. A persistent bug that would occasionally reset your reading streak for no reason needs to be addressed ASAP, too.

Empower yourself with knowledge

If you've been having less time to read books and want to do something about it, Headway: Self-Growth Challenge might just be able to help. It has a great selection of non-fiction titles and all of them are in a 15-minute digestible format. A free version would have been nice, but if you're willing to pay, this is worth a look.
