Will I lose access immediately after cancelling?

No. Cancelling stops auto-renewal but your premium access continues through the end of your current billing period (weekly, monthly, or annual).

Does deleting the app cancel my subscription?

No. Deleting the Headway app does not cancel your subscription. You must cancel explicitly through the website, App Store, or Google Play Store.

Can I get a refund after cancelling?

For web/direct purchases, refunds are at Headway's discretion — contact support@get-headway.com. For App Store purchases, request a refund via Apple's report-a-problem page. For Google Play purchases, go to support.google.com/googleplay/answer/2479637.

How far in advance do I need to cancel before my renewal date?

Cancel at least 24 hours before your next renewal date to avoid being charged. Cancellations made within 24 hours of renewal may not prevent the next charge.

Can I reactivate my subscription after cancelling?

Yes. You can resubscribe at any time through the Headway app or website. Your account data and reading history are retained after cancellation.

What if I was charged after I thought I cancelled?

This is a common issue. If you subscribed via the App Store or Google Play, contact Apple or Google support directly for a refund — Headway's support will direct you back to the platform. For direct purchases, email support@get-headway.com, though response times are 2–3 business days.
