Faced a similar issue mentioned by a few others. Money was debited in the beginning of the free trial period itself. Update: Got the refund after raising it to the Google play team. The confusion is that the free trial is applicable only when you choose the yearly plan. The free trial is removed if a monthly or weekly plan is chosen. The design is not very intuitive to get a sense of this and it somehow feels deliberate from the team.

Hello! We cannot charge users before the end of the 7-day trial, as Google supervises all transactions as per its policies. However, it is possible that you accidentally selected a paid plan instead of the free trial. Kindly contact us at support@get-headway.com, and we'll help you figure things out.

Hello everyone I just started an application named Headway and I am well pleased with the system it has curated with many best selling books. The audiobooks are excellent and you have the option to read along with the audiobooks. It's been a good tool for learning and developing in your life and journey with anything that you have interest in. I like the fact that it tracks your use and progress to reflect back to manage time. I recommend it to anyone who listens or reads.

I would have given zero stars if possible. The subscription plan is a complete bait, you subscribe for a free trial of 7 days and the payment gets deducted for the complete year. When you try to contact their support team, they just reply with pre-fetched details no one is looking into details. Cancellation of subscription is from google payment while the subscription started from the app, why not give cancel option on the app? This is completed trap.
