Appalling Appalling - their `free` trial is nothing like that - it is $60! Be warned and stay away - I am chasing a refund now.I It is particularly bad as they purport to raise you up and enlighten,while emptying your pocket! Lowbrow would be a better name - disgusting.

I signed up to a 30 day free trial I signed up to a 30 day free trial, and then tried to cancel, but the page to cancel the subscription was broken. Now they have charged me but I explained that I tried to cancel but couldn't. They are unable to provide a refund and this is really bad practice.

No notice of impending subscription expiration; No refunds Stay away; it's a LOWBROW business model. I had a trial subscription at a reduced rate. On the evening of the trial expiration date I received a receipt for a year's subscription ($60+) that included a statement that if I canceled the subscription by that date, I wouldn't be charged, even though they had already charged me. I promptly canceled (on said date), but Highbrow denied my request for a refund. The predatory practices of such subscription-based services are disgusting.

Highbrow International is what I think… Highbrow International is what I think of as this year's best internet discovery. Excellent learning tool with a wide variety of subjects available for those who are extremely busy. Daily, easy-to-digest lessons are a dream come true for those who are committed to lifelong learning. I find it most helpful as an introduction to topics that I find interesting but am still unsure of whether I want to invest a lot of time in learning.

Here's the deal Pros: sleek design, interesting content Cons: content lacks depth and skews toward generic truisms; they don't honor customer satisfaction - if you don't like their product, then you're stuck with it for a year and the $48 USD price Observations: they send the course(s) you choose, otherwise you don't hear from them
