Quite useless. Careful, the unsuscribe button doesn't work properly. I was bound to pay for the second year, even though it was a technical issue.

Not worth the money. The quality of the courses are uneven (some just plain terrible -- but some decent). Platform itself is out of date and not user friendly -- not much effort is put into designing a platform that meets the user needs. One can't choose 10 courses in advance or set up a profile with favorites. No app. Website is glitchy. In general it seems it was designed 10 years ago, not updated and they focus all efforts now into locking unsuspecting customers into year-long memberships and no effort whatsoever into providing quality courses or platform services for the actual members. Do not subscribe!

Highbrow is a simple and easy to use platform containing hundred of 10 day courses. I love the courses because it is easy to learn from them and it does not take more than 5-10 minutes from my day. Another great thing is that they are like a fuel - they give you a solid basis so you can whether decide to continue or not in improving yourself. Thank team!

I wasn't crazy about the format of the program. Would you rather have to read a tiny morsel of information every day or just take 20 minutes to learn something? The big problem though is that they don't allow refunds if you get past the 30 day trial period. I accidentally let the 30 day trial period lapse so they sent me an email saying the were charging me $45 for a year of membership. I sent them an email requesting they cancel the charge and my account because I didn't use the service after the first ten days and did no intend to use it after that. Their response was that they don't do refunds, period. I've had this happen with other trial periods before and after a quick email the company gladly removed the charges but apparently Highbrow's business model is based on trapping people who just forgot to subscribe in a YEARLONG membership. Shame.

Just want to echo other reviews: Brutal business model. I was waiting to be sent something, or just anything; never heard, was surprised to have my credit card charged after using zero of their service. My request for a refund was denied.

Although the quality of Highbrow courses is quite uneven (I met carefully-crafted and packed with knowledge ones, as well as ones of poorer quality, with no more than simple tips), the platform is worth the membership fee. Firstly, the idea of learning through small and digestible bites, secondly, finally, a wide array of themes (that cater basically to anyone) and grate design with very supportive contact team, should any technical issue arise.

I first used Highbrow as a way to enhance my existing skills at work. These "bite-size" lessons are so easy to incorporate into your day and I find I can focus on these short lessons and better retain the information. I started this for work, but now look forward to choosing topics that I once considered too difficult for me but always wanted to have a good working knowledge of.

Highbrow is a great way to learn! There are great courses but I also read some poor course
